Lijnders has desire to become a manager again

Not sure how long Stevie’s contract is, but to go from Villa to Liverpool? I cant see it myself. He’d have to do something massively outstanding as ‘proof of work’. A lot hinges on when Jurgen decides that he needs an extended hiatus. There could be ample time for Lijnders to do a stint with us, assuming mutual appreciation abounds.

I would not be against him getting a crack at the job when the time comes, bit of continuity and he has been working alongside the best manager for years.

Being a great coach and a top manager are not the same thing at all. Liverpool were fortunate to be one of very few clubs were the continuity thing worked but its hard to see it happening again.

I can see FSG doing this they have on the administration side promoted from within a fair bit (not exclusively)

This is the crux of it, I think it’s unlikely that we would be that lucky. It all depends on what state the team is in and if he is luke have the respect of the senior players to be boss. 
 

inreckon Gerrard is nailed on as FSG know the fans won’t turn on him if he has a shaky start. As long as he doesn’t get sacked by Villa I think it will be him. 

He's trying to steal Gerrard's job.

Paisley managed it..... 

He can cover Jurgen's sabbatical as preparation for taking over fully in six years' time. 

Needs to focus on his current job, the loudmouth twat. 

I've probably been served stroopwafel on stag do's by blokes with better managerial records than Ljinders.

I could get on board with this as long as Jurgen commits to a nice extension 

Just Pep talk.

Big game beaut.

Just use all that summer transfer money we never spend and give it all to klopp to stay forever.

The real Pep. 

Not for me. His forte is as a coach.

No idea whether or not Lijnders would be a good manager at this level, he of course lacks relevant experience. But based on his football knowledge alone I tend to believe he’s more qualified than a number of others that have managed clubs in the PL the last few years.

To stay where we are now, we need one of the best managers in the world when Klopp leaves. Information available to me gives me no indication on whether 

 Lijnders nor Gerrard should even be in contention.

This.

I wouldn’t want him for the exact same reasons I don’t want Gerrard. 
 

They’re not one of the best managers in the world.

So no. 

He wouldn’t get to February managing us. The aura of a southern student teacher in an inner city Borstal.

If Klopp has anything about him he'll sack this insolent fucking rat.

Whilst booting him round the car park.

Talks the talk. Walks the walk.
