I know two aren't exclusive and we've discussed it to death many times, but I'd much prefer entertaining football that doesn't return trophies over win at all costs tactics. The fact Klopp employs entertaining and winning football is great
Its hihgly highly unlikely everyone stays but its down to how many stay as the medical, dietary and analytic teams are massive.
Attacking football is okay when you build your team from the back not we are going to out score them.
Didn't really mean them, meant the hands on guys that are part of training and tactics etc. If a lot of them remain then Gerrard (or whoever) steps in and follows their lead initially as too not change things too much
Continuity when winning is always key. Generally you only dramatically change when things aren’t going well so yes, if a new manager was happy to come in with same back room staff and keep developing rather than Rio it up and start again then brilliant. However, a lot of managers may feel threatened by that. They want to come in, bring their own man, make the team their team and not been seen to just be living off previous managers success? Tricky one, and that’s why maybe promoting from within would be beneficial as keeps that continuity but then at same time you end up with someone with a lot less experience in charge. It’s always a tricky one and probably going to be a huge appointment for someone at fsg to make as (assuming klopp has us competing still when he leaves) we could sink like United have done or continue to be successful like others have done (city and Chelsea)
Maybe Pep should move up from the assistant role when Klopp leaves and Gerrard become HIS assistant. Does Gerrard love the club enough to be a number two? Pretty crap if he doesn't.
i fully understand the need for pragmatic forward but it should be the exception not the rule . Oh and on the CL 0-0 do you remember the games against Barca under Houllier which was embarrassing .
not a chance of him agreeing to be an assistant especially one who has managed for only 6 months before being sacked .
This is why we need to maintain our current structure so we reduce the reliance on one man. Klopp leaving will be the ultimate test on the structure - we have a director of football who in charge of the football operations and vision - he will be tasked to find a replacement who fits the clubs style.
well in theory there's 27 members of senior staff with 3 keeping coaches, and klopp's mate krawetiz and linders just being 2
Linders is not a no 1. He's a nice lad but he needs a leader either above OR below him to do the man management and respect and fear stuff. I could see himbeing a technical director or a coach but not a head coach/manager. Gerrard is with respect to him a lad that now need to achieve something and show a bit more than he's done so far. That means now out performing the league and not doing a rodgers on it. If rodgers had not dirtied his bib at lfc and went straight to celtic and then leicester and won the fa cup he'd be in huge demand but there's huge questions on discipline, player management contractually and just plain consistency. We have to remember that people said klopp couldn't organise a defence til he bought the right men. Literally with lovern and sahko as the options people said klopp was the problem!!! Get a defense coach in and other such Bullshit Gerrard has to be ready to answer this stuff
Me being the little ray of sunshine that I obviously am, and always striving to see the best in everyone, my abiding memory of The Owl's service was the 2-o defeat of Chelsea. All else is a blur.
no, but they feed the players, look after fitness like kornmayer, manager recovery and performance, doctors, physios, masseuses, kit men, rehab teams, analysts etc. The guys that take tactica sessions are only one aspect at the head of all of these. its amazing how big it grew under klopp from the small set up rodgers had.
