New Manager [Klopp Watch]

[Alex]

What a position to be in (If true) with choosing between Klopp and Ancelotti.



Options for the Group

[cream]

I think it will be Ancelotti, I think Klopp could be the better fit though, but I wouldn't complain at Ancelotti.

I think the owners would want an immediate impact and and salvage something from the current season so opt for Carlo.

[rodo]

Klopp would drag the club out of its current mediocrity and anyone at the club scared to appoint him should be out the ****ing club too

[Yozza]

Kloppppppppp!

[I, Ravel Morrison]

It's probably Klopp looking at the speculation.

[Cormack74]

Ancelotti has done the business all over the place, plus he's an Italian and those boys know how to defend.

I really think if he can't get us playing then we might as well just merge with the Blue****e and have done with it.

[Gibbo]

Wonder how many people are pissed off Advocaat didn't wait until tomorrow for there bets

It's not gonna be Klopp i don't think, and im gonna hate myself a wee bit for being disappointed in Carlo, but here we go again, positive thoughts for the future!

Ancelotti would make sense. The timing indicates we have someone wrapped up - Kelly says it won't be Klopp and that Ayre had just met with Carlo in New York. A positive resolution to that meeting quickly followed by a sacking would fit the narrative.

I know everyone wants Jurgen, and I voted for him in the poll, but Ancelotti would be a fantastic and genuinely exciting appointment. I made the point about a week ago that he doesn't fit FSG's 'model' quite as well, but at some point you have to stop worrying about nebulous grand strategies and start actually winning.

Ancelotti's flexible and happy to work with the squad he has, and is particularly good at patching together an unbalanced XI in a sensible way. See what he did at Milan playing three or four playmakers in midfield, or going DM-less at Madrid. His ceiling is lower than Klopp's, who can really get a team playing above their level, but Carlo's not going to take 6-12 months to instill another 'philosophy.' I'd back him to get the squad back up to speed quicker than anyone else.

And that's probably a good thing, because frankly we don't need major surgery. The performances have been disappointing, but not abject. If not for monumentally ****ty conversion rates, we'd probably be in the top four. If Ancelotti can come in and get us performing to par very quickly we could still have a good year.

As we have a young squad, Klopp and Ancelotti. In that order. Let's go

[Alex]

We need someone to make an impact. But also someone who can get a song out of Lovren, Markovic, Allen, Milner, Benteke. All players who are not at it for whatever reason.

[Phoenix07]

Jay Riley is saying it's Klopp.

[Bloodraven]

Jay Riley is saying it's Klopp.

Isn't that a bit like heads or tails?

[el matador]

Jay Riley is saying it's Klopp.

Beacroft says ancelotti and riley says klopp.

I would prefer klopp but I would be ecstatic with either. As long as its not frank de Boer

[G]

I hope Norbs and RoadEnd are on the wind up with their Gary Monk shouts

[Maxiedge]

I want Klopp after 2 years with Ancelotti if that makes sense
