A common occurrence in Liverpool, generally speaking.Everyone leaving Liverpool, are they about to get done for something?
Klopp to leave Liverpool at the end of the season
- Thread starter RonaldoVII
- Start date
Cool.
There’s no guarantee that even if you get Xabi Alonso that scenario won’t happen anyway.
First time around it was early on he made the announcement. Players 100% dropped off after that.
I mean, I would hand Alonso a lifelong extension immediately but in this particular case I would be open to a switch of managers
Schmadtke is the big loss. Watch them struggle next season now.
INEOS are secretly hiring big names in PL (or paying them to quit their clubs using bitcoin so its untrackable). If you cant beat them, make them join you or make them leave.
Sympathy? He has handed his notice in voluntarily and leaves a rich man and Liverpool legend!
Makes sense to leave this summer, rather than next. The squad will be cycling off the inhalers again next season, and it’d look bad to leave Liverpool as a mid-table team…
I mean it just proves he's a bit of an asshole. My point is I dont think many like him cause of his moaning, excuses and digs at United.
Would I take him at United? Absolutely.
He didnt die ffs.
Nah, Edwards was the big sporting director loss. This guy wasn't there for long and didn't do anything special.
Bricking Ineos ain't he. Not up for the fight.
Yeah that's true of course, but at least he seems to have the potential to be a great manager, which is more than you can say about some of the other names I've seen floating around.
I wouldn't mind Simeone, but he won't leave Atlético. Not even sure he speaks English to be honest
In fact he said he learned from his mistake from his '01 retirement where we fell apart. It was for that reason he waited until the league was won even though he made the decision around Christmas time
Like the string quartet playing as the Titanic went down.Tweet

It will be a bad move for Alonso or any other manager to follow in the footsteps. The squad really isn't that great and the top players are ageing.
Klopp will be impossible to replace.

I guess Bayern or Madrid but I'd think he'd want to have a break and recharge, get some hunger back.
Can Bayern go another year with Tuchel.

I smell a rat.
I was kidding about that bit, I think he will take a significant bit of time out
When I heard this news I was so happy. I actually don't think I can put it into words. This must be how that lot felt when Fergie stepped down. It's January but it feels like Christmas again!
I dislike Liverpool as much as anyone (and lived through their peak years) but I have not been able to bring myself to dislike Klopp. Excellent manager and apparently decent person with a social conscience. Good luck to him (after the end of this season, obviously......)
I reckon Salah is gone in the summer too. Reckon VVD might be tempted to leave also. If so, it's going to be a big rebuild job for the next man.
I mean you've just made up an absolute load of fictional nonsense - there were 2 games left and we'd already had the league wrapped up as we were 10 points ahead.
Fergie PURPOSEFULLY held off on the news and wanted to wait until the league was over but his hand was forced.
Leaving or getting done for something?
Good news for us as long as they don’t go and replace him with the next best manager and we remain with the Dutchman.
Imagine if he join us

The correct comparison is 2001/02 when Fergie announced he was retiring before the season started. We weren’t great at all that season, although there were several factors. Not that it has any real bearing on Liverpool in 2024.
Yep. Likely because he learnt a lesson from is 2002 announcement.
Issue Liverpool have is that their recent success is down to Klopp only. They remind me a lot of United in Fergie’s last 4 years. Their owners don’t give any more of a feck about them then ours do about us.
Alright, I misremembered it then. Didn't intentionally make it up. I still suspect Liverpool's performances will be very strong for the rest of the season though, largely due to them wanting Klopp to go out on a high.
Because it is Liverpool, I would believe they already have a replacement lined up or discussed. Also it is telling how this news comes out of the blue. If it were at United, the leaks would have happened 2 days back.
I agree, I don't think they'll collapse like we did when Fergie announced in 2002 or when Pellegrini was leaving in 2016
I beg to differ. Even if we don't get Klopp, we are most likely to poach a top manager from another team to replace ETH. I can't think of any decent managers that are available on free transfer. Is a willing buyer willing seller game.
The football his team plays isn't great to watch, but I do find him hilarious and entertaining. Also enjoyed his contribution to that Beckham doc on Netflix - when asked about the infamous sending off and whether he thought Beckham deserved the red card, “Absolutely not. Absolutely not. The contact was minimal. You can see I was hamming it up, knocked over by David’s imaginary kick.”
Liverpool could do a lot worse. It will surely be Alsonso, though.
No one can match the indomitable SAF !
Aside from hiring Klopp, what have FSG done that makes you believe they are any better than the Glazers? I think it's entirely thinkable they just got lucky once.
Offer him a salary he can't refuse and give ETH his marching orders at the end of the season!!
Oh my bad, was looking forward to a nice merry go round... But extending contracts surely just means that you'd potentially have to convince the guy and agree to a fee with the club.
