  • You're wrong. I'm not.
    I'm saying, and I know this is difficult it is early, this:
    I don't think he'll get enough time from the media, once it becomes apparent he won't lead them to the promised land this season.
    That right now, Liverpool are competing to be Spurs.
    That right now, Players who are in your price bracket look firmly at the options (Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool) and probably evaluate on "4th, possible 4th, Europa but chance to be part of something BIG if it works".

    Liverpool do not have a bottomless pit to impose the infrastructure required for a massive ground up coaching revolution from top to bottom. Especially with the gamble that it might not actually work in the 3 years he has.

    Liverpool do not have a bottomless pit to acquire players from all over the world at the price points they can afford. Also, no marquee signing will come to Liverpool.

    Klopp will have problems integrating players from the bundesliga (if that's where he targets) into the EPL BLOOD AND CRASH football (see Shinji Kagawa).

  • Ah the meedija...Well it's up to the fans whom they want to go with.

    Spurs has consistently finished above us for about half a decade bar one ( what has to be called an anomaly), so yeah next step is getting above them.

    Where I still disagree with you is in the finances: The team 4th from bottom in the EPL can easily outspend Atletico/Porto/Sevilla etc with the new contract. There are teams all over Europe that do not spend huge amounts but do buy players to fit a system at > €10M. Why can't LFC operate in this bracket? We did it with Rafa to great success.

    Why the problem integrating German players (who we've done well with historically) from what is regarded as the closest to our league?
    (I know Klopp was mystified by the way BR used Sahin who went back to do well again ditto Kagawa).
