How do you know which were which?

It's been widely reported at this stage. Both parties have made bad signings, but the difference is that most of Rodger's bad signings were kept in the team, where many of the committee signings weren't given a fair shake.

I though Rodgers was one of the people who didn't want Balotelli for example, didn't he even say that at some point. I could have picked that up wrong though

Hard to know, some press reports suggesting a lot of this Summers signings were Rodgers picks. Mario seemed a desperate gamble because of missed targets than anything else.

The ones played were Rodgers, the ones not/shipped out weren't.

Or so they say...

Sahko, Marcovic, Aspas, Alberto, Balotelli, Sahin, Can, Sturridge, Coutinho, Firmino are a few of those suspected as being committee signing.

Lovren, Allen, Lallana, Lambert, Benteke, Milner Ings and players who have played in the league previously are considered Rodgers signings.

TrueIt

Joe Allen was a great signing by Rodgers.

Thats a bit vague. I think there is alot of rumour around it. I wonder will we ever really know.

Still 1.4 on the exchange, i would want to see more like 1.05 before i get confident.

Nailed it, except for the one who went on the be the best player in the league.

And the other one who went on to be the most injured player in the league.

Well, Suarez and Sturridge were conceived by gods and burst forth, fully formed, onto the league in 13/14.:pac:

i refuse to believe the Klopp stuff until I seen him at Anfield.

it's too perfect a fit to be true.

it is akin to Simeone taking over Atletico and doing what he's done. That is potentially what we're dealing with here; someone who could have that sort of impact.

It would be a major coup no doubt. And a real statement of intent by the owners. I still have a feeling he won't be won over too easily.

Delighted when we signed him and I'm happy to see everyone has taken to him. I don't think I have ever seen the Liverpool crowd chant a players name so soon.
Best thing is he only just turned 23, don't think he will ever be a world beater but he could contribute to the club for years to come. You need players like Ings, no fancy stuff just gives his all, reminds me of bellamy so much.

All the writing off of him and taking the piss before he kicked a ball summed up some of the spoilt brats of the fan base.

Yeah I just know we'll end up with Dick Advocaat instead of Klopp and this place will go nuts

Yes, his performance has been lost in the Rodgers melee.
Best new signing so far, Clyne has been quietly good but not threatening enough in attack.

Well played Danny, keep it up - could also be a great sub option when Sturridge is having a moany day...

slingerz

i reckon there are a share of players quitely content about Rodgers going and them having an opportunity to reassert themselves in the squad.

I'm sure Origi, Moreno, Lucas etc. will be looking forward to the new arrival. Markovic is probably cursing his luck that he didnt hang about

Been very surprised at how well he's done, I was very sceptical but glad to have it shoved down my throat....as an actress said to a bishop!!

I think he must be on the way.

The timing of Rodgers sacking along with not appointing a caretaker suggest to me that they have had something lined up beforehand.
Just a question of time, and not wanting to appear to have had contact with Klopp before Rodgers was gone.

spockety

If it does turn out to be Klopp, the idea that they made contact today for the first time is laughable.

Magico Gonzalez

Ings has been great, I'd like to see him and Sturridge start. Benteke scores the spectacular goals but he has to earn that place back.

Must have said they would review after the derby. I would say Klopp agreed he would take the job if the t&c's are right. Hard to imagine they haven't sounded out his agent in terms of what he would take in terms of the contract. In the off chance it blows up I would say Ancelotti is waiting in the wings.

I understand Klopp has been learning English so it's been coming prob since the end of last year. I guess Rodgers was given some specific targets to hit and if he didn't hit them he was gone.

Agent Coulson

Klopp and Didi have been talking for weeks if not months would also be a good guess.

Didi has been saying for months now in the media that Klopp would be perfect for Liverpool.


This is how the game is played.

I am really enjoying reading it. The fear in the air that it looks like we might actually get Klopp is palpable.

Yeah I can't imagine they got rid of Rodgers without some firm assurances that either Klopp or Carlo would be very interested in the job. Otherwise what happens if they both tell you no thanks. You're left scrambling around for a manager mid-season. They would have been better off keeping Rodgers until at least Christmas in that case.

You see what has happened up till now could mean nothing to the new manager. Everyone starts fresh, Klopp wont care less how much Benteke cost as he didn't sign him and wont be under any pressure to play him. I'm hugely pleased with our striking options anyway Sturridge, Benteke, Ings and Origi in terms of depth is as good as Chelsea, United, City or Spurs IMO. Klopp or whoever it is has a very decent squad to work with and with a few tweaks could be a consistent top 4 challenger.

Francie Barrett

The prices for Klopp to take the job have been shortening all day. Betfair have him at 1/4 and while I wouldn't say we're in happy dance territory, we're not far from it.

I think it's very funny to read how it's progressing. It start's off with 'not a chance Ancellotti or Klopp would go there' through to Liverpool aren't a big club ontowards a dawning reality that Klopp could be happening and at the moment it's now that Klopp is overrated anyway!! :pac:

Markovic probably didn't have a choice, either move or stick around and not get game time.

I'm not FSG's biggest fans but I agree with them that someone else can get more out of what we have. The likes of Origi, Firmino, Can and christ even Lovren have more to give than they what they have done so far, I really believe that.

First job of any new manager, is to learn how to park a bus

I listened to half of that podcast. Pretty rubbish really. I can't really believe lads pay to listen to these chaps.

First job of the new manager is to execute Lovren.

Get a big tour bus and drive the whole squad over to the Cliffs of Dover.

Fck Lovren off it.

Agent Coulson

If Klopp or Ancelotti get the job will they be asking the captain or Coutinho or Firmino to text a player to see if he would like to join the club I wonder.

ThunbergsAreGo

Bit off topic, but I would love if this serves as a wake up to the fans.

Atmosphere at Anfield has been going downhill the last while. Would love if someone like Klopp helps everyone get behind the team. Was watching the semi vs Chelsea in 2007 a few days ago, and you dont see that anymore.

Probably, I would imagine all managers do it
