Next Manager Poll (Sans Alonso)

[Tarwater]

De Zerbi looks like a person who likes to wear far too tight trousers. That’s a no go right there. And I agree with Dave, in that he just doesn’ look like or feel like a Liverpool manager. He might be - or almost certainly is - a good to very good manager, but not for Liverpool.

[Barrington Womble]

Someone called Jason Burt from the telegraph (who I don't think I've heard of) has apparently ruled naglesmann out as he'll be unlikely to want to follow klopp.

He used to be one of the regulars on Sunday Supplement. No idea if the programme is even still going, probably been replaced by some 19 year olds talking about Fifa.

They just do some shit on SSN now. That Darren Lewis is a regular on it. And then it seems the other person changes. I don't see it much.

Thiago Motta agent mentioning us,Barcelona and Bayern as possible options for him next year. No release fee either as his contract is up. 

 

He's done a great job with Bologna. Looks set to get Champions League place next year. Outside possibility of being runners up. Taken 4pts off Inter and knocked them out the cup in the San Siro

 

Took over last year after Siniša Mihajlović had to retire with lukemia, and got 48pts in 32 games. 

 

Not exactly got a team of stars either.

Coverage of other leagues is, and always has been, better because they assume the people watching aren't as thick.

 

Sky's old La Liga coverage and TNT's Serie A coverage are completely different to the utter turd both serve up for the Premier League.

What’s his record against Atalanta like?

[Jairzinho]

Bologna have beaten them home and away this year.

Gasperini is 66

Was sacked after 5 games by Inter after losing 4. He is a career journey man of lower half Serie A or Serie B type clubs and have found a good spot in Atalanta who have a excellent system. 

 

 

I'm surprised we don't seem to have e interest in Xavi. Been a bit tough this year but he's still got them within 8 points of Madrid. Working with youngsters mostly and won the title last year

As the first person on the forum to put his name forward on here, smug wouldn't even begin to cover it if we appointed him. Might insist Dave puts my name in platinum.

I hope we’ve already got someone sorted and are just keeping it under wraps.

After Klopp, I actually don’t much care who it is, as long as they continue to keep us successful, plus, I’m not really well up with who’s who in the managerial stakes, so I’m relying on Edwards and his team to do their jobs.

Naive? Probably.

[Kevin D]

Eva Olid just led Hearts to a 2-0 win in the Edinburgh derby. They were down to 10 women for 70 minutes, but Eva is a real manager so it wasn’t an issue.

Its Amorim

Even in his denials last week it was "I haven't spoken to Liverpool" you can guarantee his agents have though. Neither side will want it announced till Klopp has gone and Benfica have wrapped up the title and played the cup final

Hasn't he been sacked by each job he's had before bologna though? 

 

He's also got an oddly elongated neck...... That can't be a good omen

He was at Genoa for two months, and he didn't get sacked by Spezia. Did a really good job there actually (hence getting Bologna job).

Atalanta before they appointed Gasperini.

 

2006/07: 8th

2007/08: 9th

2008/09: 11th

2009/10: 18th - relegated

2010/11: Winner Serie B

2011/12: 12th

2012/13: 15th

2013/14: 11th

2014/15: 17th

2015/16: 13th

 

Atalanta after Gasperini got appointed.

 

2016/17: 4th

2017/18: 7th

2018/19: 3rd

2019/20: 3rd

2020/21: 3rd

2021/22: 8th

2022/23: 5th

2023/24: currently 6th

 

For the last five seasons this is how Atalantas transfer business has looked like, they have made €152 millions from transfers the last five seasons. 

 

19/20: Sold - €107 m, bought - €60 m, balance + €47 m.

20/21: Sold - €75 m, bought - €62 m, balance + €13 m.

21/22: Sold - € 52 m, bought - €65 m, balance - €13 m.

22/23: Sold - €134 m, bought - €103 m, balance + €31 m.

23/24: Sold - €152 m, bought - €78 m, balance + €74 m.

 

Gasperini has Atalanta punching well above their weight, could obviously be interesting to see what he could do with better players.

Amorims not good enough because he's only won the portugese title twice and 3 at the back is weird.

 

Motta hasn't finished top 4, describes his tactics vertically in a 2-7-2, plays with roaming centre backs and midfielders doubling up as full backs.

 

It's like offering people who think a korma is too spicy a vindaloo

[Jairzinho]

Could you argue there might be more than one opinion?
