Pep Lijnders as the next Liverpool Manager

Since Alonso has decided to make a smart move and stay in BL before taking the Madrid job, I've been thinking about who could take Klopp's players and do the best job. If this is the job description, then is there an argument to be made - unbelievably - for Pep who may be going to become the nest Ajax manager.

I'm honestly surprised to come to this conclusion, as I'm not mad about the bloke but..

PROS
- He'll apply the same tactics
- He knows the players well
- He knows hot to turn the game at Half time
- He's a good transitional option until our club needs a remodel in 3-4 years
- He'll allow for less of a "adjustment" for the players.
- Our players will keep doing what they are doing.
- We would keep the same backroom staff potentially. including Matos.

NEGATIVES
- He won't have a big personality that a new manager may have
- Players may not be happy about this. But maybe they will

QUESTIONS
- Would we be getting a large piece of Klopp's playing style or is it wrong to try and keep it?
- Would this be like the ole boot room transitions?
- Could we keep playing without a big manager persona?
- Do we need to move on completely to a new manager?

So, would you be against this idea and why?
Or does it suddenly seem like the least risky choice out there? Feels less risky than bringing in a young Portuguese manager.

He's a looker isn't he?

(yes this is a cope thread)

Larry Lloyd

Sad news that Larry Lloyd has died today aged 75. He's probably more associated with Forest in the eyes of many, but he made his name as a key component of Shankly's second great team. In his first full season in the first team he was part of a defence that conceded only 24 league goals (in a 42 game season) and reached the cup final. He won the league and the UEFA cup in 1973 before injuries and a change of playing style saw him move to Forest, where he won the league and two European Cups.

Brighton (H) - Sun 14:00

Might feel like i'm going early on this, but we are under a week away and I couldn't wait to fire this up.

Sunday could be a huge day for us in the title race, but we need to hold up our end of the bargain first and put the pressure onto Arsenal & City by taking home three points,

It feels to me that our team picks itself, but I suppose the left back slot is up for grabs if Klopp isn't 100% sure on starting Robbo yet.

For me the team is easy:

Kelleher

Bradley
Konate
Virgil
Robbo

Endo
Szobo
Mac Allister

Salah
Nunez
Diaz

Expect some new names back on the bench in Jones and possibly Trent. Gravy will likely be fit enough to feature. Elliot might be challenging Szobo for a spot out there. Gakpo unlikely to challenge to start but at least he's showing good productivity for Netherlands.

I also wonder if we'd see Jota make the bench, if he's rumoured to be available for the United game on 7th.

I don't think rotation is too important in this, we need that statement win to kick off a new run of results. We then have Sheffield United at home in the midweek before we travel to Old Trafford. I expect us to manage some minutes in that game, to give us an upper hand. That Man United game is huge, but they have away trips to Brentford and Chelsea ahead of our visit so let's give ourselves every advantage.

It feels rare to get 3 PL games in a row, without the interruption of some cup. Three wins please, starting here.

Best FWs to wear a Liverpool Shirt

1. Ian Rush
2. John Barnes
3. Salah
4. Suarez
5. Fowler
6. Torres
7. Aldridge

(nb I did not witness King Kenny, Keegan or Toshack etc) so couldn't comment what place they'd be. The list does not have to be 7. You can make it short or as long as you like

It humbled Robbie to see himself with a halo. I mean, it genuinely did. He looks in awe of himself. He actually does, I'm not joking it's just hard to square, were you to read a transcript. It really was humbling.

Ok, ok, that one seems a bit much, but it really wasn't like that...

Statements like this could seem arrogant, without the tone. You have to put passages in context sometimes. You can't take the text so literally. He does go on to mention mortals, I mean other people, and their judgements, or whatever.

This is the shit that gakpo needs to get on, sniff a whole line of it, like he's chewing grass. There's only one God for strikers.

Thiago Alcantara

Its his last season, the rare instances where he has been available, more often than not he was good to very good? You could say the year we nearly did the quad, he was very much at the heart of our play.
He wasn't an expensive signing but was taking £10-12m in wages a year. With hindsight, how do you view his signing?

Former Brazil international Robinho arrested to serve rape sentence​

Former Brazil international football player Robinho has been arrested to serve a nine-year prison sentence for rape.
He was convicted two years ago in Italy for his part in the gang rape of an Albanian woman at a night club in Milan in 2013.
Robinho, 40, was arrested at his flat in his home city of Santos.
The Italian government had requested that he serve his sentence in Brazil after failing to get him extradited.
On Wednesday, a court in Brazil upheld the decision and also ruled that he should serve his time behind bars instead of under house arrest.
Earlier on Thursday, a Supreme Court judge rejected a request to halt his detention.
The decisive action taken by Brazil's justice system has been praised by many on local media, who feared that Robinho would evade justice thanks to his fame and his wealth.
The former Brazil international, who has 100 caps for his country, was playing for AC Milan at the time of the crime. After being found guilty, he lost an appeal in 2020 before Italy's highest court upheld his sentence in 2022.
Italian prosecutors then issued an international arrest warrant for him.
The footballer, who spent two years with Manchester City, told a Brazilian network on Sunday that the sex had been "consensual".

Where does Klopp rank against all time league greats? If at all.

So @Fabio believes he isn’t a great outside of LFC.

What say you?

I’d say it’s

Richard Hughes Confirmed

‘Incredibly proud’: Richard Hughes confirmed as Liverpool sporting director​

  • Bournemouth technical director will join in summer
  • ‘Good decisions enhance prospects of having a team that wins’

Liverpool have confirmed the appointment of Richard Hughes as their new sporting director. Hughes, who announced this month he would leave his role as Bournemouth’s technical director at the end of the season, will officially take up his new role on 1 June.
Michael Edwards, recently installed as Fenway Sports Group’s chief executive of football, has had a longstanding desire to work with Hughes and they have a professional and personal relationship spanning more than 20 years having worked together during Hughes’s playing career at Portsmouth.

It is understood when Julian Ward left his role as Liverpool’s sporting director last summer Edwards was surprised Hughes was not one of the candidates to be interviewed by club owners FSG.
“I am incredibly proud to be offered this opportunity. Liverpool FC is a unique club and I’m grateful to be given a chance to serve it in this capacity,” Hughes told the club’s website. “People rightly talk about the rich history this organisation can boast, but it is the present and future which really excites me.
“It will be my job, working with Michael and leading the football operations team already in place, plus the wider staff at the AXA Training Centre, to make good decisions. That’s really what the job entails: you have to make the kind of good decisions which enhance the prospects of having a team that wins and excites the supporters. It is what Liverpool have done well for a very long time and the benefits are there for everyone to see.”

Edwards and Hughes will be key figures as the club transitions from the departure of Jürgen Klopp at the end of the season. Hughes was the driving force behind the appointment of Andoni Iraola as Bournemouth head coach last summer, with Iraola saying they had a “very good connection”.
Iraola shares the same agency as the Bayer Leverkusen manager, Xabi Alonso, the former Liverpool midfielder who is the bookmakers’ favourite to succeed Klopp. In his time at Bournemouth, Hughes would have secured the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi, another being linked with Liverpool, had there not been a delay due to a change of the club’s ownership that allowed Brighton to secure the Italian.

Edwards is confident Hughes’s arrival is the first step in building the post-Klopp era. “It is clear to everyone that Jürgen will leave a legacy to build upon and in Richard we have the right person to make the key decisions and offer the leadership to take us forward into a bright future,” Edwards told the club’s website.
“As one very successful chapter will come to a close for Liverpool in the summer, the objective of everyone here is for another one to begin – and with Richard I am confident we have the right person in position for us to achieve this aim.”
