New Manager for Liverpool 2.0

[Slinky Skills]

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

He's not the only one who's posted About Slot. Bascombe and Joyce have as well and the BBC too.

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

It’s Slot, guaranteed.

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

I think the set up around the manager is at least as important as any difference in genius between top end managers tbh. Is Zidane a world class manger? Who knows? He won a couple of la ligas and champions leagues, but what was his actual job? Essentially a figurehead for a huge, well established and successful institution. Put whoever you like in charge of United since SAF left and they’re not winning the league. Chelsea are currently a shambles and they’ve burnt two well rated managers in two years. If we get the fundamentals right off the pitch then the need for a superstar leader like Klopp, who dragged us out of a hole, is probably less of a priority.

Emery is very good example.

As long as he doesn't take loads of mediocre Dutch players into the team then its an good appointment (in the circumstances).

FWIW, i don't think he'll be coming in with a list of wanted players (Amorim on the other hand would have, accordingly). System as said, will be a benefit also.

Hopefully the structure will be in place to prevent us signing the Slot equivalent of Anthony.

Good points.

I think personality is massively important also. We have typically had decent success with this.

Rafa and Klopp instantly figured out how to act as mangers of Liverpool. Rogers had moments but seemed an odd fit and then Hodgson.... We all knew he would be a disaster and he was. I seem to remember the likes of Carra and Gerrartd being massive supporters of that appointment - it goes to show what they know.

They are the figurehead of the organisation. If its Edwards lead then no doubt he is all over that side of things also.

Personally, I'd be interested in De Zerbi. He has his squad decimated every year, but plays good football, and look at how he developed Mac Allister. He seems to fit well and he understands the pressures of the League.

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".

Will believe it when I see it.


For the past few months we have had chancers like Melissa Reddy first saying Xabi was nailed on, then only a week or so ago her "sources" said Amorim was nailed on, now she is putting up messages saying Slot is nailed on and her "sources" were telling her that for a while.


Way I see it now is we have five more games in which to enjoy Klopp, and who ever the new guy is, we will get real confirmation after the final game of the season or a little later than that if we get a fairytale league title win and have a parade..

There is alot of Liverpool have held talks with X it's going to be him, the club will no doubt have spoken to multiple people, the same people (not just Ornstein) were saying the same about Alonso and Amorim no doubt they will get it right eventually. These are the same folk who knew nothing of Klopp's departure before it was officially announced but within days were claiming to know who his replacement was going to be and who we had already held talks with

Maybe I am wrong but the way things have gone with us in the past the fact that so many journalists are reporting it before it's a done deal suggests that the club are trying to use it as a distraction while trying to do something out of sight.

Reddy needs to stop going to the pub with joiners and builders

[BigChief]

We've gone from not wanting Ange, to hoping we get Ange to save us now.

Going to be wrapped up soon i suspect.

Time to get whelmed.

Know next to nothing but he does seem like a good fit from what I can gather. Seems like a nice fella too.
