This was never gonna last forever tbh. Let's say that the manager (Alonso) loses VVD and Salah for the next season, we might get in a proper wedge and free 5-600k off the wage bill.
We'll make Trent captain, get Hincapie and Inacio for VVD, Olise or someone for Salah and press on with a hugely promising squad. Not a doomsday scenario. NOTE, I'd rather keep them both ideally.
However, maybe news like this puts some pressure on the club announcing the next manager sooner than later?
I would not do that at all if he continues to let his contract run down. Come June he is down to the final 12 months of his contract.
Last year there were reprts at the start of the year, and supposedly again in the summer that talks had taken place and given no new contract was signed they came to nowt.
He wants to be considered for the captain's armband in the event of VVD moving on, then he needs to sign a contract extention.I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

Not the clearest but I took it to mean, he doesn’t know who the new manager will be and if he will be in their plans nothing more.The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.Comment

Could also be that bits of his interview were cherry picked to create some ambiguity.
Would like to see or hear the entire interview in order to see how the quotes attributed to him then sit.I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

VVD is a legend and he’s always come across as a decent bloke.
He was maybe a bit too honest answering those questions but I think he’d stay on if he was in the next managers plans.
Club needs a good DOF first because it’s not likely the next manager will be at LFC 9 years and there needs to be continuity. It’s probably a good thing the coaching staff exit at once because whoever comes in will want to bring their own staff.
No avoiding it though, next year will be hard with so much change at once.Y.N.W.A!!!!!!

Im not sure what he said that was wrong.
He seemed unsure of his future as anyone would with a new boss coming in. Id be anxious about it too. Regardless of him being a good football manager, he is a great human being too. A lot of "good" bosses are dicks, and good people can make terrible bosses.
Its almost certain whomever comes in is going to be a step down in one or both areas.
Add to that his age... Id cut him a bit of slack. I never took him as a towering intellectual, so he is probably not thinking how his words might come across in or out of context.
I certainly have less worries than I do Trent. I can see him going to Madrid on a free regardless.In the beginning, Fowler created the Heaven and the Earth.Comment
I think that's very possible to lose both and for me, aswell as getting huge wages off the books, we did get their best years too. There is always new superstar talent and the next big thing around the corner, just a matter of our scouts finding them.
