Poll New Manager speculation

[Fabio]

Besides Xabi, Amorim is the other name on my preferred list. He ticks a lot of boxes. (He would "know" Nunez and Diaz well too.)

Started following Amorim since 2022.

Hugo Lloris just prevented the goal of the season from Sporting’s Marcus Edwards.

Guided Sporting to 1st league title in 19 yrs inc. record 32-match unbeaten streak + some Portuguese League Cups while competing with financially stronger Benfica and Porto.

Developed/bringing the best out of players: Palhinha (rejoined after being on loan at Braga for 2 seasons), Nunes (signed for €500k & sold for €45m), Goncalves (23 goals in 32 league apps in his first season at the club, which happened to be the one they won their 1st title in 19 years), Porro (initially a loan move from Man City, signed for €8.5m & sold for €45m), Ugarte (signed for €6.5m & sold for €60m)

(notable) Debuts for: Mendes (sold for €38m), Inacio, Chermiti (sold for €12.5m after 22 1st team appearances)

If we fail with xabi, He's 2nd on my list

Is Alonso ready do people think?

I think he is ready, but there could still be time needed, like Arteta. If we bring him in, I would want FSG and us fans to give him at least two years regardless of results. And, make sure the players know it. Even if he struggles a bit, he will come good and could manage us for 10 years. I think he is too smart to take Real job, unless he was out of job without better options.

Luis Garcia doesn't want Xabi to follow Klopp, because he'd have to live up to extreme expectations. His pick is Gerrard.

 

[Hansern]

Gerrard would be an awful appointment. He isnt good enough.

obviously

Gerrard comes in, takes the flack, leaves, then xabi is there to guide us to consistent success

 

[The Nomad]

I said earlier..

Sod that.. this team is set up for Shankley/Paisley/Kenny success.

All thanks to Klopp. Genuinely gutted but excited at the same time.

Gerrard is not the chosen one

 

[Modo]

Exactly

 

[Hansern]

Xabi is the stand out candidate. Hogan looked very confident and relaxed today, so hopefully we have some sort of verbal agreement already.

 

[Modo]

Honestly I'd rather have Benny than Gerrard

 

[King Binny]

@Dreambeliever should like this suggestion

 

[refugee]

Can you add as an option, “I’m so numb with shock that I genuinely couldn’t give a fuck right now”

100% this

United appointed a shite manager after Ferguson. What were they thinking.
We should aim for Shanks-Paisley-Fagan triple.

How different is Xavi Alonso's football?

Tsimikas wouldn't mind

I think you mean a Shanks-Paisley-Fagan-Dalglish quadruple

Different line up, similar philosophy but less direct

YES!

In this video he pretty much breaks down their tactics:

 

[localny]

It's been a treat having such stability for so long. Pep is next (2016), and then Thomas Frank (2018) in the longevity stakes.

 

[localny]

he had me at "Gegenpressing"

 

[Hansern]

Ange, hahahaha. Ange.

 

[Richey]

Ange, hahahaha. Ange.

The one and only bonus of him would be if he actually did turn out to be amazing (very unlikely), and it would seriously piss Spurs fans off forever.

Benny? Or @King Binny ?

 

[Hansern]

Xabi Alonso will be one of the candidates for the Liverpool job. [

Binny can have Schmadtke's job

 

[LarryHagman]

I think there's a high probability the DOF and next manager is already sorted. The stakes are so high these days, there'll have been a list ready to go as soon as Klopp told them.

From Crossroads? Yepp, agree.

Well with King Beamrider holding the purse strings obv.
