If you wanted a bald Dutch manager, why not take ETH? He has PL experience, and he can get unstoppable Antony to replace Salah, and Martinez to pair with VVD. It is all there ... so easy!

Would you give us Martinez? I actually rate him.
Ya… quite underwhelming. I would have been more worried if they hired amorim . Anyway, we’ll see how he gets on.
In a package with ETH and Antony? Of course!
Oh I see...I'll pass.
Would be funny to see if he does better than a EtH.
Funnier is he has a poor season. Win-win

£12m is a huge amount for an unproven manager with only 1 Eredivisie and one KNVB Cup to his name, what other managers have cost similar amounts?
Your loss. Enjoy the dutch Rodgers

… however, posters dismissing him because his real name is Arend Martijn are onto something.
That would be short sighted.
Is he going to make Liverpool horny?
Yeah no
Because neither of those things are relevant
I've not been paying too much attention, is this guy their second or third choice?
Yep
Sacked after 6 months and then they’ll bring in Roy Hodgson as caretaker.
Feels like a risky one to me. The big challenge in replacing Klopp is replacing his authority and charisma, not his tactics. And while that’s going to be difficult for any manager, at least someone with a longer honours sheet would start from a better place.
He's a wildcard, that's for sure. Like Charlie in the back of the gasoline van.
I just hope he's one of the Nunez type signings that Liverpool make and not one of the Salah type ones.

Fair points, except for the bolded bit.
Gerrard if we’re lucky
We like to bash Klopp for many reasons, but the guy has a pretty good honours list. Few active managers have objectively better ones.
I can't think of any such candidates that are both accessible and are not known for creating strained relationships with players or club management. So no Tuchel, Mourinho, Conte etc.
You are so generous. I would have demanded Sancho be included as part of the ETH-Anthony bundle.
Ya from the outside it does look an underwhelming one for their new manager. Klopp was highly regarded back in the day coming into a club who were not at all consistent on the fronts they have been the last few years.
now they are a team who expect to be competing, on top of that, the likes of Salah and van Dijk are approaching the top of their curve and need replacements in. That midfield they have is also poor. Their attack is also not what it was.
It’s a massive undertaking, considering Klopps shadow and player faith in him, new manager you felt maybe needed more clout behind him to get players and people behind him. There was surely other targets out there or is it just so many said no that Slot is now an easier option to get in asap?

Almost reaching the CL final is a bigger achievement in Europe than reaching the Conf league final, but winning the league with Feyenoord is a bigger achievement than winning it with that Ajax squad.
I honestly have no clue how Slot will do. I think being a relative nobody means he will need results fast. Even more so than Ten Hag did. Though he is far more eloquent than Ten Hag and fluent in English which will help with the press atleast.
Also, he shouldnt bring any Dutch (league) players.
Talking about the League he’s managed in isn’t relevant? Why? What can we discuss about him?
As soon as Klopp walks out the door for the final time, all the belief and confidence that has been built up over the last 8 years goes with him. And then, in walks Andre Agassi’s bastard brother. It’s definitely going to be a tough gig for him, without even considering the composition of the squad and the transfer activity that people like Carragher seem to be calling for.
I think the biggest challenge for him is the fact that he receives Klopp's squad on their last legs (bit similar to when SAF left, though SAF had even bigger shoes to fill). He will have to rebuild massively. That's a rather big thing as a nobody with limited credit from a fanbase that will want a title race regardles of the squad.
His head is far shinier than Andre's though. He waxes his dome.
I hate him already. Sorry @KirkDuyt , but "It is no secret I want to go to Liverpool" just is not an acceptable sentence to utter.
Love it.I just don't think managers are blind to their mistakes in the way a lot of fans might think.
If Slot gets some things wrong, or underestimates certain aspects of the Premier League, it doesn't mean he'll stubbornly stick to his old ways until the end. Most managers are good at adapting, even ten Hag last season is a good example of that, but this season he's turned very stubborn admittedly.
I also don't believe a few examples like De Boer and ten Hag are enough of a sample size to have a bias against Dutch managers.

So to replace the Klopp Fist Pumps (Trademarked), there’s a chance we might see Arne Slott drops at the end of the game to get the fans going!
No one wants to see uncle Fester slut dropping!
Wish him all the luck in the world. Hopefully he can do as well as these two legends of Liverpool.
He's aware of himself, that's for sure.

It’s obvious why he was chosen, isn’t it? Liverpool hired the data and stats mastermind Edwards. As a true scholar and beacon of strategic mastery he crunched the numbers at a level no other had done before him. He then spoke to the Liverpool owners weighing up each word carefully: „Listen, we know there is no second Klopp. But 2 out of the first three letters of Klopp and Slot are the same. K is also reasonably close to S in the alphabet whereas pp is even closer to t. You might say it fits to a T… haha.”
God, I’m absolutely loving the last few posts. Whatever happens with United, the good times are back again, that’s for sure.
We're laughing but knowing our luck he'll be the balder, dutcher, less smokey Johan Cruyff
