Life after Jürgen

[Oh Buoy]

With Klopp saying that he'll likely take a year to himself after 2022, what's the next chapter for LFC? 

 

We've been stung in the past with managers coming in and flipping everything whilst we embrace a 'transition' so perhaps it'd be nice to have a bit of a plan instead.

 

What would you like to see in the next 2 years and who would you see as the perfect replacement? 

[Cultured Left Peg]

Hopefully, we can prise Mr Hodgson from the eagle-like grip of Crystal Palace for a good few years of steadying the boat/plummeting down the table.

[3 Stacks]

By 2022 a transition will be inevitable either way as key members of the squad will be around 30 and it will be the perfect time to move some of them on or some of them will probably want a different challenge at that point.

 

If Klopp goes, the replacement will have to be someone with a clear philosophy at the very least. And then preferably that person would have a legitimate pedigree, but that's not as important as someone who has tangible ideas because if they don't that's when the player recruitment side becomes wonky and you get squads that make no sense. Klopp was the best of both worlds in that sense and it will be difficult to find that.

I'd just like to live in the now and enjoy us being fucking brilliant.

Too bleak to think about -- popetual motion is our only hope

[Trojan1892]

Pep Ljinders next LFC manager.

[aRdja]

Pochettino maybe?

[Trojan1892]

Poch is a fraud, spurs fans already turning on him.

15 points in 15 games.

 

Pep Ljinders or Nagelsmann for me, be interesting to see how he does with RB Leipzig.

This would be a nightmare I think. Could see it happening easily but he needs to prove himself in a tough league before that happens. 

 

Could send us back years like Souness. 

 

I don't know how klopp is going to persuade players to sign for him next year if he's clearly off also. Makes this summers FSG budget even more frustrating 

[kemskem]

Caretaker appointment. He may be ready for another stint like King Kenny was. That's why we should have given it Evans with the possibility of an extension. I think he would have taken that at the time.

[Paulie Dangerously]

I think the drip-feed of him taking a break is deliberate to get the fans used to the idea. I'd be happy with Ljinders for 12 months

Fuck, never even thought of that.

This is a valid point. I doubt it will have much impact for the next 2 windows though. I think 2 years of Klopp is reasonably reassuring, players don't think much further ahead than that I reckon. Everything is transient in football after all.

Let’s see how Xabi does with Sociadad over the next few years 

[Wezza]

On their current trajectory it will be the Cowley brothers dream team! On a separate note my brother used to play in the same Cubs football team as them.

Good luck to them.

Last thing I’m going to spend any of the next couple of seasons thinking about.

[Funkasy]

Brendan rodgers after he has won the next 3 premier league titles, only losing one game to stoke every season.

This thread is a disgrace!
