New Manager for Liverpool 2.0

[Kenneth]

Wow. He must have a lot of time and money on his hands.

[Norbs]

I think none of these journalists know **** to be honest

[swishtz]

From a senior Dutch football person

He is really good and there are similarities between Feyenoord and Liverpool. Both clubs are known as fighters.

It would be great match I think.

He is not used to the greatness of Liverpool

[Irishnev]

Wow. He must have a lot of time and money on his hands.

He’s got a good job and his Mrs is understanding! He’s was a proper Feyenoord firm guy in his youth, he moved to Liverpool with work and became a red then. He’s looked after me loads with tickets to games - a top guy who knows his football

[Slinky Skills]

Maybe he'll bring Dirk Kuyt back with him as coaching staff haha

[peterbread]

Everything I’ve read about him and also seen Feyenoord fans say about him sounds promising. The complete opposite of ETH.

Great communicator that everyone likes, even the press. Gets the best out of his players and can get them and the team as a whole to overachieve. Sounds like he took over Feyenoord when they were in a right mess and got them to a tittle a few years later. Hasn’t had the financial resources of his biggest rivals.

Plus when he was in charge of AZ Alkmaar and the league was canceled because of Covid he had them level top after 25 games.

I know it’s a big step up in leagues and clubs so we don’t know how that will go but he seems very highly rated. If he’s the one maybe having a few countrymen around especially our captain will help. But from all the options we seem to be looking at we aren’t going for a top proven coach. Seems a similar approach to the players we mainly target, someone who’s established themselves and is ready to make the next step to being top class.

[��] NEW: Liverpool have pinpointed the Feyenoord head coach Arne Slot as the man they want to replace Jürgen Klopp.

[@_pauljoyce]

[��] NEW: Arne Slot had some discussions with Liverpool and was convinced. His agent Rafaela Pimenta is discussing with Liverpool the important contract details. More meetings are planned in the coming days & weeks to finalise the deal.



[��] NEW: Slot and his family have already started looking for accommodation in or around Liverpool. The intention is that, if a deal gets off the ground, the entire family will move with it.

[badpiggy]

It's certainly a brave appointment. Ffffffffffffs. I was excited about Xabi. I was neutral about Amorim. I'm underwhelmed about Slot. Not least because of "slot machine".

[kingfunk]

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. No need for major overhaul of the squad / playing style. The academy is set up to mirror the first team in stylistic and formation terms etc etc. slot can take over, put his stamp on the current squat, make same number of signings we would have if Klopp was still in charge and the train keeps rolling…

We're closer to a bus than a train at the moment.

That’s seems to have been the FSG plan from the start. Build a club with a system and academy that will carry on the same way not matter who is in charge to make any changes in manager less problematic. Make sure you have the best behind the scenes people as well. Having more of a first team coach rather than a manager doing more than he needs.

Basically a bootroom 2.0, with the knowledge spread out to give it resiliance. Makes sense.

Here’s hoping I must admit to feeling underwhelmed from our 1st to 2nd options to Slot. Time will tell I suppose

[ntto]

we should have just given it to Ljinders if the plan is Slot.

Was totally sold on Amorim and dont doubt he'll be a success in England

[rudedog]

People put way too much stock in what Journalists say - not a chance Ornstein will know what is going on.

I hope the players are a bit more resistant to this kind of stuff and don’t let it affect them .
