Klopp will walk. Zidane seems the type of guy who might too. Pirlo will be sacked sooner or later for being shite.
ESL manager sack/walk watch
- Thread starter tomaldinho1
- Start date
He could go and manage Bayern, RBL or Dortmund. None of them will be in the shitty "super" league and will continue to play at a high level.
If you keep your emotions out of it, the most likely scenario is that CL will turn into shitty competition while ESL will be the most prestigious competition in football given a few years.
Wrong thread. Whether he was sacked or walked is irrelevant to the fact he is no longer their manager.
There's too much speculation going on. If there is eventually such a league Bayern would be among those founder teams. And the CL is a big deal for managers which would create to exist so if you assume Bayern aren't in the SL it's just them winning it every year with no European glory to chase which is a bit shitty.
Then he’d be a massive hypocrite and whilst he wouldn’t be the first it’d be incredibly disappointing but I honestly just can’t see it mate. If he wanted to manage easy jobs with state backed clubs or the richest clubs in the league he could have gone to Bayern , Real, United or Chelsea. He may still go to Bayern in the future, but he’s managed Mainz, BVB and now us. Clubs that had principles and values and a culture steeped in tradition. Obviously that’s completely dead now and had been dying.
If this does go through, then I guess we’ll have to see. I just honestly wouldn’t care at that point and walk away. There’s plenty of other sports I have an interest in and other hobbies I can invest in rather than spending time on the dead carcass of football.
The highest level?
the lowest level you mean. It’s morally bankrupt. The big players who care for their countries, are they gonna put money before countries?
be interesting to see how many players now break out of their contracts
He didn't walk. He's still getting 8 figures compensation because he was sacked.
Spurs' last six results: LLWDLD
They've got a better chance of beating City without him.
My point being is that I don't think anyone will walk.
Ole should walk and manage FCUM.
Do you really believe that posturing from UEFA?
Turn the scenario on its head. Do you think UEFA/FIFA wants tournaments without Cristano Ronaldo, KDB, Bruno Fernandes etc.
Of course they don't. That's what makes them money.
Hmm, heard there's a spot at Bayern opening up... Klopp has probably already been called. 
My view is that this actually isn't the disruption people think it is. They'll find a way to either modify the CL or replace it with this. There's too many vested interests for such a monumental shift in football like the end of so many NT careers etc
But if there ever was a league with Europe's elite it would the highest level of football. That is undesirable. Not good for the game but the very highest level of football you can witness.
Prepare to be amazed.
See you in the Super League lads.Hmm, heard there's a spot at Bayern opening up... Klopp has probably already been called.
They cant just walk out because they are all under contracts with their respective clubs, I'd imagine they will all be dragged to court and made to pay millions for breach of contract
Exactly. Imagine a PL without United Chelsea and Livepool, a CL without the biggest clubs, international football without the world's best footballers. There's a lot of posturing happening. The reality will be a middle ground.
Well you can enjoy it with all the other trophy hunters.
a club with morals, standing by its history and sense of purpose is more important to me. If it happens im done
Where do you think big names are made? Yep, that's right... at EC and WC competitions. Ronaldo has his name, but what about the next Ronaldo? Without an EC or WC, he won't make international stardom as easily as someone like Ronaldo did. People underestimate the impact one tournament can have on the popularity of one individual player.
United have pulled out of the ECA and woody has stepped down as a chairman for fifa(?)
United have already gone all in.
Ok, fair. If that's the case it just cements the bleak reality of the power money has over already wealthy people I guess. Somewhat foolishly I have hope there's one or two good eggs out there.
I agree that it should not happen. But if morals were all that mattered clubs wouldn't take money from dodgy people, and wouldn't governed by corrupt organisations like FIFA and UEFA.
We're not going. Bayern wouldn't survive it. Their major revenue is domestic in the BL. And they don't have plastic money to solve all problems for them.
This is like the brexit argument all over again. So if FIFA and uefa are corrupt you walk away? No, you enact change from within.
you’re all being sold on this idea that everything will be hunky dory. Once you’re in, watch your clubs change and start pulling out of whatever’s left. Mark my words
Same.
The domestic leagues obviously won't be untouched at all.
It's not made at a European Cup rather cemented. Both of these organizations are desperate for the players to feature. This is just another scare tactic to try to sway the founding clubs into retreat.
Ditto - and the idea that this Super League will represent the elite of European competition is laughable. Any competition that clubs compete in regardless of form or performance, year in, year out, is an absolute joke.
A lot of noise mostly about Klopp at the moment - I guess because he’s openly against the ESL and also has a press conference today.
I agree Klopp is the interesting one here - he's spoken so much to the media over the years trying to position himself as a moral authority on a variety of issues that he'd look a huge fraud if he doesn't walk.
But he won't walk - he's all talk.
Pep at least we know is all about money so he's not going to throw away his golden ticket from Abu Dhabi.
The others in England aren't in a position to walk.

If the Glazers even think about sacking Ole if he says something they don’t like. There will be war
None of them will leave because of the ESL.
They talk a lot of shit, but when push comes to shove they'll just shut up and continue with their job.

If he doesn't walk then he loses all of his integrity, not walking is standing by the decision.
Can’t see Ole walking
He’ll never be given a job like this again I don’t think, he’s just started making a name for himself as a manager
Huge respect if he does but I wouldn’t blame him for staying
If you’re a bigger name manager then aye get yourself away

This super league might potentially be a shite idea but let's not act as if it's some moral stain. We've done far worse within the last few years.
I reckon Klopp might just walk if he can take the Bayern job and gets a guarantee from them that they won't join the ESL. He'd do a phenomenal job at Bayern at it's basically free league titles for as long as he can be arsed to stay. Gets to go home to Germany as well.
If Bayern cave or hire someone else after Flick goes I think he'll stay, simply because there's no other job that offers even close to the prestige of his current job, aside from the other shitstain clubs that are in the same boat as Liverpool.

Tottenham had to take SL to be able to afford to sack him
No one's going to walk. Would be daft to at this point
