If they keep this up, there is realistically no way we can challenge them, unless something miraculous happens. Or did I not word that statement properly?
You're doing it right.
Next next year is our year
Someone will stop them before 4 years. Never underestimate Brendan.
Not sure what warrants the sarcasm, but okay.
I don't think we have a chance next year. That's not a slight on Ole, but on how far down Woodward has dragged us. We need time to climb back up, if we have the proper structure and plan to do so.Tweet

Well, Bayern has won 7 consecutive titles and Real Madrid recently got 3 CL trophies in a row. That seems like a proper dynasty to me.
PSG could pay him way more.
Agreed. You always hear about how this side or that is going to dominate for years to come, and then they fall away. Even Ferguson's United fell away but he was able to rebuild and rise up again. We'll be pretty good for a couple more years then might regress to a top four side and go through a rebuild.
Why the feck would be want to go to PSG ?
Yea, signalling to the players that you are committed long term is completely worthless. Anyone who takes a payrise can't really love their work place.
I agree with this. Don't get me wrong, he's an unbelievable manager who deserves all the credit he gets. But I just can't envision him ever putting together a team as strong as this again. His biggest challenge will be how to rebuild his core, all of which are around the same age and among the best players in the world in their position, in the coming years. They'll continue to be among Europe's elite for a few more years before performances begin to wane but even SAF had to go through periods of rebuilding.
I hear that from loads of fans that they missed the boat with Klopp. Arsenal, United ans even Chelsea fans have said it but I'm not sure it's even remotely accurate.
Yeah the little boy inside him always dreamt of managing Liverpool.
That was my point. My post was a reply to the fact that he said that Klopp extended his contract to get a payrise. Hence I said if he was after the money, he'd walk straight into PSG.
Maybe if it was Fergie selling Old Trafford to him instead of piggy redfaced accountant he may have come here.
Nah, United was at the very least as tempting for him if the reports in Germany are trustworthy. Of course the Woodward pitch didn't help, but mostly it was just wrong timing to get him. If it was United calling before Liverpool did when he was doing his sabbatical, I am 100% sure he'd have gone there. Probably even to Arsenal too.
Its easy to love your work place when you are winning.
Desperate
It will be interesting to see how he handles the decline of the front three. Given the intensity they put in their game it's more than likely they won't keep up their current level very far into their 30s.
This is almost as disastrous as him joining them in the first place. Bastard.
Sorry but I disagree...people saying that his biggest challenge will be a rebuild of this team. Sorry, but he has already faced and successfully overcome his biggest rebuild. When he joined in 2015 that team was an average mess, only three players in that Liverpool team play regularly now from the one he inherited, the rest he has bought or promoted/developed from the youth academy. Yes rebuilds can be challenging, I'm not disputing that, but any rebuild he has to do will not be as bad as the one he had to do when he first joined. Also the first rebuild involved having to change the mentality and general foundation including hiring decent coaches and other backroom staff, with that out of the way any future rebuild should be less taxing.
Not sure if serious....
I actually think it's harder to rebuild after your own team has stagnated compared to rebuilding a mess you inherit. Case in point Pochettino, Conte and even Klopp himself in his last job, one of the big ones is loyalty to players who have brought you success, he's less likely to be ruthless to Mane when his legs go compared to what he was with Benteke.
"The best managers should be in the Premier League" -> The best managers should manage the top6 clubs -> We are 9w 2d 2l in 15 games against the big six. the winning track record is established.
It has, however, been revealed by Krautzun – Klopp’s predecessor in a previous post at Mainz – that the 50-year-old once harboured ambitions of taking the reins at Old Trafford, rather than Anfield.
