The ITKs, that I put my blind faith in, are saying Klopp...

edit: but there are plenty of other saying Carlo

It was (past) time, but its bittersweet for me because I had a whole lot of faith (and fun) coming from 13/14 and the 2nd place finish. It really seemed like it was setting up nicely.

I think Klopp has a bit of risk to him - there will be an overhaul, and lots of uncertainly. I think Carlos will do well, but the question remains on whether he'll be able to make the most out of a situation where he's not top dog or one of the top 2-3 dogs.

I guess I do prefer Klopp, because he seems like he would stay for a while... I also like to think he can persuade some of that young German talent to come on board..

I can't help but think Carlo would be around no longer than 3 years...

#LFC owners made decision to sack Brendan Rodgers BEFORE Merseyside derby. Even victory at Goodison would not have spared him


That would have been kind of awkward

Very awkward

Also take it fwiw, but there's a sky Italia report saying Klopp as well. Not sure how ITK they'd be or if they're just picking up on the Bosnia thing, but there's just a lot coming out now.

Still mixed reports but the possibly slightly more reliable ITK's saying Klopp? Still pretty split at the moment to me

I think the safe bet right now is to pick either Ancelloti or Klopp as the next manager.

I'm hoping they don't let this linger too too long, but the fact that the didn't really name an interim to me says they're going to move pretty fast

Well he didn't say who, but (and this is no surprise) an LFC guy I follow/trust on twitter just said that FSG plans to have a permanent replacement in by the time we play Spurs on the 17th.

I wouldn't be surprised to see an announcement today or tomorrow at this point.

I kinda hope it's tomorrow, it's my birthday and that might rank as the best birthday present of all time

After being so slow for the past few weeks, this thread has turned into a house party!



Klopp for Boss Man '16
Let's supercharge this Red sports car! So what if it is currently a Pinto? It's a "sleeper"!


ETA: Happy Birthday Tigerfan!

The only time I think I've seen the thread this happy was during 13/14.

It's like a breath of fresh air for the club to finally make this move
