One advantage of Zidane is their might be some solidarity with his bald brothers who ref our games. I quite like the idea of a manager using a translator with the media. 

 

Oh Zidane might get us Mbappe...

Zidane isn't a Liverpool manager, Zidane is a Chelsea manager.

[Anubis]

There can be only one.

Where is the close up shop option?

No, I dont think so. He has been extremely selective in his career choices. He has been offered a million things since he left Madrid and rejected them all.

 

The job he will take, if any, will either be sentimental like a Juve or France, or it will be a job he knows he can be successful in/knows he will be given time. 

[Creator Supreme]

Has to be the second coming of Souness.

Not a Chelsea manager in terms of that's the job he's waiting for but in terms of the type of club who could provide what he wants (especially in the Abramovich days).

 

Stay 2 or 3 years, massive amounts of money, no real consideration towards future planning, pick up some silverware and move on, same with Mourinho and these days to an extent Ancelotti (although he's earned it at this stage in his career).

 

The reverse is I don't consider Pochettino/Potter as Chelsea managers they're more Liverpool/Spurs/Arsenal style managers (not that I'm suggesting them as options).

Strange poll this one, some weird/unrealistic options (Zidane? Guardiola?!) and some obvious runners not included at all (Frank, Inzaghi, Emery, Postecoglou).

Wouldn't want that arsehole anywhere our club.  He can shove his 'mate' bollocks up his fucking hoop.

[TD_LFC]

Not much talk about Amorim either.

The problem with Zidane is that it's not even certain he wants to be a manager.

 

He got the biggest job in the world out of the gate and was successful. What he can do after that is sit on an unimpeachable legacy, and that's what he's done.

It's why a sentimental Juve job would be a weird choice, his heart just doesn't seem in it, maybe that changes at some point.

 

Those type of managers need/want lots of money, best club, easy ride to a few leagues and a champions league to pad out the stats over a two/three year period and then another few years off.

 

Just doesn't pass the Liverpool manager test.

I would reach out to him if I was FSG just to see because his case is interesting.

 

I think there might be a chance he has been waiting for an "interesting project" but ultimately, I don't disagree with you that it would be weird.

I voted De Zerbi. I understand why everyone wants Alonso, but I’d be worried it’s far too soon and we haven’t seen how he’d react to adversity or big pressure, of which there’ll be loads at Liverpool. 
 

My dislike of him aside, if what is doing now proves to be his standard then he’d be the right appointment.

He’s coming back, get over it.

I think he probably is, and he’ll get my 100% support, but I think it’s very early in his career for what is basically an end destination and not one you learn in. That makes me nervous.

Not even here yet and you want him gone. Sickening. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

My only concern cern with alonso is him dropping his knickers as soon as real flash their eyelashes.

 

Also he might be shit he's only managed for a season or so.

He’s literally won zero games for us as manager? His time is up.

Think football has changed, look at lots of big clubs and young relatively inexperienced managers, often with a link to the club, are the norm, doesn't always work but it's no different to any appointment.

 

Realistically is Benevento, Sassuolo, Shakhtar Donetsk and 16 months at Brighton a career that just needs a final club to finish it off?

Absolute no brainer. Xabi, all day.

 

Only other one i’d consider would be De Zerbi.

 

It's funny, De Zerbi has looked a decent manager and I've enjoyed his honesty while in this job and thought he might be a good replacement for klopp one day. Then I watched him today in his press conference and just thought fuck that. I don't think he did anything wrong, mostly just klopp chat, but in the realism that he could be our man, he just seemed like some cheap imitation. 

 

I don't want any of them really. I don't even know if Xabi could do it.

Is that just to boil some piss on the banks of the royal blue Mersey? 

[Baltar]

I'd take Pep if this was an alternative reality we're living in but Alonso is the only realistic choice.

HUGE BOOST FOR LFC HOPEFUL ALONSO  AS LIVERPOOLWAY POSTER JOHNNY H VOWS ‘HE’LL GET MY 100%’

Negged.

[El Rojo]

He’s my choice too, but by any reasonable standard, the Xabi thing is completely fraught and a massive gamble. 

 

He’s never had to deal with adversity or a loss of form yet, which in many ways is the acid test. Also, he’s yet to actually win anything. 

Emery would be a safer call than De Zerbi.
