Surely you at least have a little chat with Jurgen. Just a lighthearted joke about joining. See what he says.

never gonna happen

If we actually got Klopp in, I don’t think I would be able to process how amazing that would be

Even if he were to up for it, Klopp would be a massive mistake.

After Mourinho, Van Gal and arguably even Moyes and Ten Hag, we should have learned a lesson about taking managers past their peak.

It definitely won't be Klopp :lol: and Xabi Alonso will be going to Liverpool so it won't be him either.

Just can’t see it either. The mess that we’re in at the monent is a much bigger task than replacing VVD and Salah. I doubt he needs a pay day and he knows he would burn all bridges with Liverpool fans laid he takes the job. That would be 10 times worse than Benitez at Everton

He also left citing exhaustion as the reason. He's not exactly going to rock up at United where a root and branch restructure is due - and thats before we address the elephant of big club rivalry in the room :lol:

Are his best years ahead of him or behind him? Is United a quick and easy job? Come on. We need someone who isn't leaving their club because they're 'tired'.
I'm listening to his interview now and he is saying that he doesn't have the energy and needs a break but reading between the lines it seems like he's just tired of fighting with the board to keep Liverpool competitive.

He also says if you ask him now if he'll ever manage again his answer is "no" but in reality he'll take at least a year off and return to club or country management because he can't 'sit still'. He also says he'll never manager another club in England.

We could end up competing for the same new manager come the summer.

Thinking up of my next genius thread
I don't know what it is for me but there is something really frustrating for me about ten hag, like he is way too stubborn and won't change ideas or something. I can't quite place my finger on it, but I don't think there is the spark there to ever win the league with him.

Yep, classic United. Sit on ETH when its clear he's not up to it. Still, I hope our new structure will have ideas and be an exciting opportnity for someone
If Joel and Avaram were still making the calls, I wouldn't have been all that shocked to see Ronaldo in the dugout wearing some kind of ghastly diamond-studded suit with no socks and a pair of ostentatious trainers.

We're not getting Klopp, pack it in :lol:

I suspect (hope) most of you are taking the piss, but in case you aren't, need you be reminded he's not going to throw away his legendary status at Liverpool overnight by joining our shambolic setup. This is Liverpool's best manager since the Paisley -> Dalglish era. Its not brochure Michael Owen joining us on a free.

He has those Dutch philosophies like playing a left footed CB at LCB, receiving the ball with one foot and passing with the other, taking a touch before playing the ball etc. and like all Dutch managers, they're so indoctrinated into this cult that you have to play this way that they can only change so much. When it doesn't work, which is all the time outside of Holland, they don't know what to do other than the same stuff but more of it, or with better players. He's like the opposite of Jose who would 'will' a win into existence. Ten Hag just thinks the system will prevail at some point.

He's already said he won't manage another club in England and I think he'll stick to that. Had he failed at Liverpool, ie not trophies, then he might have felt less connected to the club/fans and vice versa. But he's done an amazing job for them and won't spoil that by going across town to our lot.

Not like he will even accept it if we asked, but Klopp isn't past his peak.

INEOS have to act this summer, it's critical now.

We can't persist with ETH.

Klopp is by far the better manager and Pep is a dickhead.
I don't think he's shown anything to be 'by far the better manager' and he's also a colossal dickhead

Nah feck that, klopp running up to the stretford end doing his fist pump? I think United fans are a bit smarter than that to be taken in by that annoying contrived bollocks.

I don't want him for obvious reasons, not that he'd even come anyway but he is the better manager, probably in the top 2 managers in the world?

I'm not playing down Pep, he's a very good manager, but Klopp is better I would say. Not that it matters anyway, none of them would take the United job and I'm pretty sure we'd get tired of their antics.
I agree that Klopp has done it with challenger teams, which Liverpool very much were. Pep has only done it with dominant and massively well funded teams. City were almost there when he joined and management structure is by far best in the world

The 'by far' label is perhaps a bit of a stretch, but I don't think its proposterous opinion. Pep has still yet to prove himself in a team that isn't either readymade with generational talents, nor the excessive superpower within its league, nor one that has bottomless funds. Would he have been as successful managing Dortmund or Liverpool as Klopp had been? I doubt it.

Also more of a personal thing but I find his football boring as feck. He's lobotimised the game with his tiki taka nonsense, coaching the flair and excitement out of a player's natural game and turned the whole thing into a robotic spectacle.
