1. Hope this is start of silly club’s failure in everything.

2. This is how big clubs handle changing of their managers.

   They get their first or second choice, not 8th or 9th choice

3. I was wondering what Liverpool would do since Xabi is staying. Liverpool fans, how do yall feel about this potential replacement?

4. Damn and here I thought Southgate would be perfect for them. Please get him away from the England team

5. Who?

6. I think a lot of people forget that Klopp joined us on the back of leaving Dortmund at the very bottom of the Bundesliga. Even though Liverpool fans knew he had the heart we needed, there was absolutely some anxiety about that departure and what it meant for his ability to coach in the Premier League.

   Obviously it’s easy to look back now and say all our worries were misguided. I know a lot of fans personally who didn’t want to see Rodgers go because they felt he was stable and his departure with our lack of UCL football and good players meant we were prime real estate for the likes of Hodgson et al.

   Amorim has big shoes to fill but as long as he has that heart to work up the fans and keep player egos in check, I’ll back him. He’s been doing a madness with Sporting and with Edwards back at the helm I’m quite confident we’ll avoid another tumultuous transition period.

7. I rather see any team succeed than liverfool. A team that whines and gives excuses all the time when decisions or results are against them. Good Riddance Ze German is going away for good.

8. He fits in with everything FSG looks for in a manager. He’s young and he’s worked wonders over in Portugal. I don’t watch Portuguese football, so know very little on tactics etc, but from what I’ve read he seems like a decent manager.

   Both Barcelona and Bayern are also after him, so that alone shows it’s a risk worth taking.
