After Klopp they're not going to accept a rebuild, they'll want someone to continue his work with little fuss and change. Even if Gerrard does really well here I think Liverpool will need to go after one of the top names in football. If that fails then they might move to someone like Gerrard, but I'd be amazed if he replaces Klopp. Reading RAWK, it seems like a ton of them don't want him to replace Klopp. I just want to know who will have the CV at that time. Don't really see a lot of good choices tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be amazed if it's Gerrard. And if by some miracle it is then he can go with many of our blessings as in turn Villa also would be looking to employ a top manager. I wouldn't. Klopp now, is leagues above the Klopp who first arrived at Liverpool. SG has much learning to do, but I think he has the platform with us to do it....Our owners will give him that platform and its one of the reasons, he joined us....so many things are at the embryonic stage, but the potential is mind blowing. SG has a burning desire to achieve as a manager and only huge unforeseen criteria, will stop that IMO..... Aston Villa and Steven Gerrard is like the perfect storm for me....but only time will confirm it. It doesn't need miracles...it needs prudent decision making ( Primarily in the transfer market) and that bit of luck all successful teams need.

They don't have the funds to compete for players with City, Chelsea (or Newcastle). They've lost the guy that found all the players they managed to fund their progression with to Newcastle and they'll lose one of the greatest managers in the world. Gerrard will go there regardless and it'll end a la Lampard at Chelsea. It'll go on to become a poisoned chalice for years and they'll be back to not being considered title challengers like most of their time in the Prem until Rodgers/Klopp. And I can't wait. Edit: although this scenario means the money clubs become even more entrenched at the top. Which is a shame. But still any of the ESL6 faltering is probably a win Quite feasible....which makes the SG to Liverpool argument, far fetched right now.....many, many things have to align for that to happen....but what the future holds, who knows. The top clubs tend to have less sentiment on this ,than the lower clubs...They just want the best, there is......but lets remember too Man U have had such a monumental job trying to repalce SAF and so will be the case with Klopp and Guardiola. We all seem to forget the years those managers have been building, it can't be shortcut, by anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really see a lot of good choices tbh I bet they don't want him, it would be like United fans thinking 3 years before Fergie finally quit 'ooh Ole has started managing. I hope he's here in 3 years time'. They have one of the best managers in the world. Probably the second best and they'd have had no hope at ever getting Pep. For them to be sat here now saying they can't wait for 2024 so they can get Gerrard would be insane. They will be desperate for Klopp to stay and for FSG to start investing again. Inevitably though, FSG won't do that, Klopp will see the writing on the wall and will leave a Hero at the end of his contract to take some 'time away with his family'. They'll be left in that United situation, a Mix of an ageing squad and talented youth, hero manager gone and not quite enough money to overhaul the squad. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're at the top of the game with players who are at the very top in the way VVD and Salah are at the moment still. I think they need a guy whose already winning trophies and leagues. If they decline a bit and don't manage to do that, the guys at the top will be apprehensive and a younger guy up and coming makes perfect sense for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the thing that concerns us most is.....will he do well with us?.....I will be very surprised if he fails, to make a name in management with us and to propel us to greater heights, in the process.

Zatman Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 As for him going to Liverpool (he has managed 6 games here ffs) it depends who Liverpool bring in after Edwards which is a huge decision for them. I cannot see it happening unless he does something solid here but media will still link him regardless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is....its not personal, a successful manager with us has to win sufficent games, to stay in the job and SG is no exception. I love the appointment, but I am under no illusions, he has to do the business, no time for sentiment. He hasn't got the sentiment card to play. He has taken over a well run club and made the team harder to beat. It's not rocket science. When you say performances without wins are " pointless " , they are, but only in a literal sense. We lost to City and Liverpool, but there were plenty of positives to take from those defeats. Sometimes a manager learns more about his players when the going is tough. I think character is a top priority in Gerrards thinking when it comes to judging a player, hence, a player like Trez should thrive under him. The players know what's demanded of them, has the manager said, " they're no excuses for anything less than your all ". The shirkers will certainly be exposed under that prerequisite.

ThunderPower_14 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I'm not sure why anyone is worried. For Gerrard to be in the frame for the Liverpool job, he'll have to have taken us significantly forward from where we are now, probably into Europe. Which means we'll be in the frame for a much more established quality manager than we were this time as well. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
