I’m afraid we are victims of klopps success and our love for him. Amorin,Alonso haven’t experienced the premiership as managers, plus they are both young and in the latter , West Ham probably fits his entry into the league and a stepping stone. I said Gary O’Neil weeks ago and got told to F off , remember he’s had / having premier league experience & I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we aren’t interested , plus he has nothing to lose

[@lfcspectre4335]

Arne Slot is leading candidate for the job reporting by Paul Joyce 👀

[@Lfcr786]

It’s so clear Fsg and edwards want a yes man. They clearly want to go down the red bull route where the DOF’s are more important than the manager. That don’t fucking win you trophies tho does it! The main issue is from the top, always. Fsg don’t want to win trophies cos it cost them in bonuses. They’re happy with top 4. It’s not a secret. Amorim has everything we need in a manager and he’s apparently not the right one. Then what the fuck are we looking for? Oh yeh, probably a manager that won’t cost us a big buyout and a manager who always says “yes sir.”

Football has evolved. Klopp had the full reigns the last two years and we went downhill. Klopps best time was when he had a dof above him. Went downhill when Edwards left

[@jameshansing5396]

So you dont think a club winning, it's value increasing etc is in FSG's interests? Hmmm wonder why they developed Anfield and our training complex then? The model of football is very common these days, it ensures continuity rather than being 100% dependent on a manger doing EVERYTHING. That way he can be a specialist coach and not necessarily have to play head scout too? You have no idea why we probably arent getting Amorim. just a typical noisy internet fan making assumptions. There was a possibility put forward by Redmen TV that MAYBE Amorim REFUSED to adapt his style/formation, meaning we would have to go BONKERS in the transfer market to satisfy what he'd need. Like it or not, unless you are Chelsea or City FFP etc matters...

[@Tony.L9793]

Hansi Flick also not a bad choice for liverpool if Amorim not joining

[@ktom5262]

"He's less qualified than Brendan Rodgers"...? What does it mean to be "qualified" here? How can we know? Some appointments work, others don't. For example, was Guardiola "qualified" when Barca appointed him in 2008? He had no prior experience, yet he has turned out to be a fantastic manager. You never really know.

[@Youafool500]

Stupid example to use, Pep was in the Barca system, Laporta and his team would have seen enough of him to give him a chance and keep this in mind, Pep had Cryuff vouching for him

[@ktom5262]

The latest news is that Amorim will NOT join West Ham, and he's just asked Liverpool FC for improved financial terms. Allegedly he wants a 3-year contract and 10m net a year. If true, it means he's just using West Ham as a bargaining chip to improve his future contract at Liverpool. If true, I wouldn't want someone like that to manage Liverpool.

I'll say this for Gary - until he took over @ B'mouth, Solanke was going nowhere and doing nothing and now he's playing something like the very talented player he promised to be when he was in our youths, and I credit him with that. When he was a player, I'd hoped we'd sign him; not as a 1st 11 but as a reliable sub, because he was very clever and usually did the simple things very well (something we were in short supply of at the time). Maybe in the future, but not yet.

[@davidhartley9115]

The problem with Klopp going is wrong timing. There literally aren’t any fresh elite managers out there it’s quite a poor state of affairs because most are at the beginning of plying their trade still only 1 or 2 clubs managed in to their careers so this is a vital decision for the club and could backfire massively. Obvs Edwards and Hughes will be studying but the only two realistic choices had to have been Alonso and Amorim because let me tell you Gary o Neil managing us or even being mentioned true or not true says not a lot of options really. You honestly reckon most of those players at the club will want to work with o Neil full time and long term? I don’t think so. Hopefully it’s Amorim and the West Ham rumours are just false.

[@ToniPhillips-tc9cl]

A Key issue here is Edwards is data driven, that never works when selecting managers. Data only points to 30% of a picture, it never shows complexity of issues . Xavi is quitting Barcelona, and has proven himself wining La Liga with no budget. Miguel Ángel Sánchez of Girona, 3 seasons in La Liga, no budget, 14,0000 capacity ground, will finish 3rd in La Liga, was up there till 4 weeks ago. You still have Dortmund Manager Edin Terzić , use to managing big club with 80,000 capacity crowds. Picking managers from prem league outside top 5, is road to disaster

[@H.Ali_08]

In this era of tactically astute managers I am averse to going for just a "motivator" and it's the new breed of managers which I believe is the reason Klopp is calling it a day; he knows his tactical inflexibility and inability to outmanoeuvre the opposition manager and rely on his usual 4-3-3 and set instructions are no longer cutting it; we have had poor results against Arsenal for example. Amorim or De Zerbi for me. Understand it's a question of money for Amorim and pleased to hear it isn't about philosophy or hierarchical set up. The money gap can be bridged. Get this over the line Michael Edwards please! With the Lavia, Caicedo debacle our standards have dropped - now that Edwards is back a swift, no-nonsense managerial appointment of Amorim will demonstrate a reinstatement of our lofty standards of pure professionalism and efficiency in matters relating to appointments.

Choosing the wrong coach due to financial reasons, or if he is under management and accepts anything, will lead to Liverpool falling into the abyss The coach is the captain of the ship and is the one who guides him to safety FSG and Edwards, after he has a share in FSG, will become like them in thinking because it is all about profits and money in the pockets. Liverpool abandoned Amorim for financial reasons and wants to have control and say in the choices??? Mourinho-Conte - Tuchel I do not think that options are possible because they will expose FSG's stinginess to the world This is one of the reasons why Klopp has run out of energy, which is the dirty management. In the end, they are the owners of the investment Being stingy with a few million will cost the project team and the end of FSG They are good at cheating and manipulating the media and it is a sustainable model Simply after a kloop period We want a coach to win titles If FSG has the ambition, let's go If not, then let them sell the club to someone who values the aspirations of the fans We are tired of the toxic atmosphere in the FSG period.
