[Venton]

This did lift my mood a bit

Rafa for one year.

He'd fall out with Salah, make Trent stay on the touchline and have Szoboaslai as the #10 behind Nunez in attack. Piss a load of people off but win the champions league in Munich in 25.

Jurgen will then come back looking 10 years younger having sat on a beach in Thailand for about 9 months off his ****in head every day. He'll look strange with his new earlobe pie hole piercing and will be chilled out as ****

That’s fine but why?

Everything that Klopp is and stands for. Howe is the opposite.

I'm a bit unsure on Alonso due to a perceived inexperience. If this this view is shared, does Leverkusen winning the league this season change anything?

Could he be the new Pep? By that, I mean a great player becoming a top manager...the majority fail at that...

If anyone can he can.

His pedigree is outstanding and he has the personality.

I assume you mean the Saudi thing.

Unfortunately I think managers are no different to players in this regard

[Slinky Skills]

Not seen Arteta mentioned in here.

[Norbs]

He's a nob though isn't he

[S-RED]

we should appoint whoever Brighton would appoint after De Zerbi.

Joking aside, i think my cchoice would be De Zerbi, followed by Amiorn & at a push Nagelsman.

Arteta & Howe should be nowhere near consideration IMO

[Slinky Skills]

He's a nob though isn't he

He is but he's doing a decent job and has Arsenal playing some really good football to be fair.

[DerKrampus]

If it is indeed Alonso, AND Leverkusen win the league, it will say a lot about his mentality too. Imagine guiding your team to it's first league win in decades knowing all the while you'll be replacing a club legend?

Not seen Arteta mentioned in here.

Doesn't seem a likely candidate. Not sure what would be the appeal of leaving what he's got going at Arsenal for Liverpool, from his point of view.

[danperkins]

Wouldn't go near Arteta. A huge part of being the manager of LFC is character, personality, class and integrity. Arteta is a snidey horrible toad, he has none of those and it wouldn't sit well here imo.. it's just not what we are about.

Jaysus - some of the names being mentioned are mad. I think you e a very short list of candidates and it depends on if FSG want to go with the next up and coming guy or “steady hands”

Up and coming:
Xabi Alonso - Leverkusen
Ruben Amorim - Sporting
Roberto De Zerbi - Brighton

Xabi is the obvious choice with how well BL are going plus his connections to the club. He may not feel ready yet but with Ancelotti extending at RM then we’ve no rival. I would say if he comes get ready for constant RM want him rumours

Amorim - Won the title in Portugal with an underdog, did v well at Braga, plays great football. I think he’s also ready but I don’t know if he speaks English

RDZ - We’ve seen what he can do at Brighton but we’ve seen what Potter did as well and how he bombed afterwards. Id prefer the other 2 but be open to him

“Damaged Goods”
Naglesmann - The wonderkund of German football at RBL but bombed at Munich. I’m not sure what to make of him - he chops and changes too much for me

Conte - Was great at Chelsea and started well at Spurs but he’s nuts and FSG won’t like his demanding approach to wanting players

Leftfield
Gallardo - Was brilliant at River Plate but then took a bag of money and went to Saudi. I think English would be an issue

Marco Rose - Klopp light, did well early doors, failed and rebuilding himself again

Roger Schmidt - Another Klopp disciple who lost his way but good at PSV and going well at Benfica

The other “top” managers are;
Pep - **** off
Arteta - Pep light Lego head and overrated
Xavi - never leaving Barca
Carlo - too old now
Tuchel - too crazy and unlikely to leave Bayern

I can’t listen to Arteta, he’s so miserable and always seems to be moaning about something.

I'd agree with that too. He's got alot of Guardiola's pissy traits.
