Oh please don't tell me there were many better managers available when we hired Mourinho and don't tell me Klopp was the best when Liverpool hired him either
As always we were late. Mourinho should've been hired before Moyes, when he still had it in him to win the league.
Who were these better managers that Liverpool had a remote chance of hiring before Klopp?
LVG wanted Muller and Mane
Mourinho wanted Perisic and a CB
Ole wanted Sancho
Yes managers have been given money but on every single occasion the board has let them down when it's time to take the next step and push on. If you can't see the cycle then you're blind; Spend Money > get Top 4 > pull the spending > don't get top 4 > sack the manager > hire someone new > spend money; rinse and repeat
Managers should have plan B.
They could've easily wanted Messi and Cristiano, that doesn't mean it's that or bust. Mourinho fell out with the owners - like we didn't expect that to happen? Jose is what he is, you know what you will get with him.
Ole getting Sancho would've fixed shipping 11 goals in 3 games to Brighton, Palace and Spurs(who also played their fourth game in about a week)?
Ole spent 130m pounds on 2 defenders that looked like pub players today. Same against Brighton and same against Palace(you can excuse AWB in that game). Three games in a row and half of that defensive line cost 130m pounds.
So far we have spent north of 200m pounds under Ole, winning nothing and finishing 6th and 3rd with the exact same point tally - 66 points.
What is more logic to happen this season - Ole turning it round and getting 4th or us waiting to be mathematically impossible to get 4th and sacking him when this season goes down the drain too - with the next manager in line without CL next year?
Would the more logical thing to do would be to try turning it around now, or after everything is lost? Didn't we see that more often than not? Rinse and repeat?
