Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

There's going to be so many rumours of what "the real reason" is behind his departure, but I fully believe Klopp when he says he just can't keep doing it anymore.

Aside from all that, I can't help but feel that the leadership group in the squad aren't going to let Klopp go without number 20. The hunger to win it will never, ever be greater.

Not just a legacy in terms of trophies, but in terms of a massive return in terms of wins, exciting, enjoyable football, top top signings and a hugely talented young squad bequeathed to his successor. Genius. We all have had such great nights and huge enjoyment over the last 8 or so years.

I just hope his replacement is given time and patience.

Klopp was/is a generational manager and it would be desperately unfair for his successor to be constantly compared to him.

We've seen a great example at Man Utd as to what happens when a legendary manager leaves - I just hope we don't follow them down that path.

Alonso is absolute red hot favorite with the bookies to take over.

Would like to see that happen.

When you think about it he's basically managed for 23 years without a break. Longest break he had was leaving Dortmund to Liverpool. Arrived at Liverpool in October that year after leaving Dortmund the previous May. Not much of a break really. Doesn't sound like he's done in management even though he said he can't see himself managing again at the moment. Think he'll take a year off and you'll have the likes of Germany, Bayern Munich, etc, looking to get him then. Could see Barcelona as well unless Xavi picks up. Weird to think of him managing someone else.

Alonso going to Real Madrid would break me, we lose more to them than to any of the clubs in England.

Just had a scary thought of Xabi going to Madrid this summer and ending up with Alberto Aquilani as our manager.

Devastated with the news of Kloppo leaving. He made the club and fans believe again in the early days and promised a title and boy did he deliver.

A great manager and a great person by all accounts.

What we need now are the players to give absolutely everything they have for the remainder of the season. Try to win Klopp another PL and fill in the missing trophy from his time here in the EL.

For a replacement if love to see Xabi replace Klopp but I wasn't expecting that until summer 2025 at the very earliest so it's a wonder whether Xabi is ready yet but he's doing great things with Leverkusen.

Outside of that I think De Zebri could work well or maybe Spaletti but doubt he'd leave his Italian manager role.

Hopefully Salah and all the senior guys stay put this summer and they all row in behind the new coach whoever he is.

Well I hope the ballots went well lads because tickets to any game for the rest of the season will be gold dust now.

The fact the club have managed to keep this quiet for 3 months really shows how little we need concern ourselves with transfer rumours. Nobody knows fckin anything 😆

This is unreal, but who could justify questioning Jurgens reasons. All you can do is celebrate his tenure.

I mean in a year 9r two he might take over one of them.

I think another factor with Alonso is that he's already got goodwill with the fans, he'd at least have a slightly longer leash than someone else.

More chance or Kloppo taking the Ireland job than Gerrard getting the Liverpool one.

His only qualification is that he played for the club. We have actual evidence about what a rubbish manager he is when Emery took over Villa and made them significantly better pretty much overnight.

Not to mention he’s in a tin pot league and really struggling there too.

The man is a philosopher. Going to miss him

Nope. Yuck. His "legend" status is a little shaky considering his recent decision making, never mind how crap he was at Villa.

Stop 🛑!

Gerrard following Klopp would be a bigger disaster at the club than Souness replacing King Kenny. That was a disaster that took the club decades to recover from ( not withstanding he inherited an aging squad).

Stevie is and always will be a legendary captain and player at Liverpool, he is nowhere near the requirements for our next manager!

Would Gerrard be considered by a single soul if he wasn't a Liverpool legend? No

Would Alonso? Yes

If ever a man was made for a club and a club made for a man its Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp.

I will hopefully get over to see him over the next few months, I’ll hopefully see him at the emirates in just over a week.

Danke Jurgen YNWA.

Already put to Xabi in a presser… fairly cagey response (as one would expect).

The full interview as well, in case anyone hasn’t seen it.

I’d ignore the rumours of ulterior motives tbh, he’s very forthright about his reasons, actively declaring that this is the total truth, and he’s earned enough respect to be taken at face value in that I think.

Not sure about sources but I read on twitter they only found out this morning/maybe yesterday.
