Yeah but Rodgers didn't win the league and Liverpool don't want to wait any longer to win it. Its been almost 27 years so if they have to keep switching managers until they get one that wins the league then that's exactly what they will do.

Question is, how long do they give Klopp? It will be expensive and embarrassing to get rid of him too early (after only extending his contract by 2 years recently) but can they afford to wait till 2022 if they don't ever look like winning the PL?

Most clubs ( in fact pretty all bar the odd one ) will make changes when the club and team isn't reaching the heights that is expected of them.

Liverpool fans want to see the team challenging for titles and CL each year - if that doesn't happen then it's likely that the club will look to make change to go with someone else and their methods.

Why would anyone with any footballing knowledge be even talking about Liverpool getting rid of Klopp at this moment in time ? Klopp will have his targets to meet each year and if he doesn't meet those targets then the club will assess the situation. The silverware in the trophy cabinet will be what the fans and club want ( as do most top clubs )

They won't yet that's my point but who knows how bad things will get.

1 win in 10 is not great but I expect the next 14 games will be a bit different. I hope so for your sake.

If Klopp wins the title within the next 3 seasons through Liverpool spending their own money I swear I will be the first to congratulate him on doing a fantastic job.

I don't think it will happen though.

1 win in ten ?

That's not just league games though is it - when you start to talk about titles etc then use stats relevant to the competition and don't include other comps.

In the last ten league games we have won 5 lost 2 and drawn 3 - last 5 it's three draws and two defeats. Yes the next 14 games are key for everyone but even then Klopps job won't be on the line at the end of season if we continue our struggles

And if with do win the title within the next three years then I expect you to do into hiding

And I also don't think Arsenal will win the title in the next three years but the difference between the clubs will be one will look at ways to try and change things even if it means changing manager
 
Wonder what odds on liverpool not making top 4 in the next 3 years?


It would hardly be a stretch of the imagination for the Manchester clubs, spurs arsenal and chelsea to finish above them each year.

I would think pretty hefty. For arguments sake, lets assume Chelsea are a given, thats perhaps five into three with both Manchester clubs, Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool all vying for those places. Recent history will argue that City and United in articular will buy big to try and get a place, Arsenal aren't always as keen to part with the cash and can Liverpool and Spurs really attract the marquee players especially if they haven't got CL as a leverage in the market. I would suggest, and it's only my take that City will qualify more often than not, as will United who will try and buy a place.

History of the past 12 years suggests Chelsea, City and United will feature prominently - assuming there are no major changes to the financial landscape.

Spurs are a very good side but a big worry for them is the ground move and costs associated with that. Plus they have to put up with the same issues that have plagued Arsenal for years and that's how to attain and retain the best players.

Already Dele Ali is being linked with a move away and Spurs are not renowned for spending big.

Kane has been a breath of fresh air and looks like he stay at Spurs no matter what. Good to see.

However Ali, Alderweider, 2 full backs, could double or even treble wages elsewhere. That will be a big challenge for them.

Will Rose or Walker stay on 70K a week if say City offer them 200K?

Spurs and Poch could easily turn out to be the next Arsenal and Wenger and I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Think Spurs will keep their players as they will get CL football next season, think Liverpool will struggle to get in the top four for the next few seasons, see them finishing 6 th behind Man U who will finish in 5th this season, as you rightly say Chelsea, the two Manchester clubs and Arsenal will be hard to dislodge from the top four and if Spurs can keep their players and add another top quality forward they will be the best equipped to challenge.

Why now? They've been there for the last 25 yrs, presumably a totally new batch of reporters as well. I'm not sure I understand why they have done this at this time. Any explanations?

According to the BBC news I've just seen it was in consultation with the supporters groups representing the victims and so I guess with the recent decisions that there are criminal charges to answer and the ongoing resentment on the way the paper handled everything from day one, now is as good as ever. No doubt they'll put a spin on it and will no doubt find a way to report on games etc
 
I genuinely can't believe it's taken Liverpool 20+ years to do this.
The people of Liverpool obviously hate the Sun (and rightly so) so why wasn't this done earlier?
 
They only got justice last year and which 2 papers were the only ones not to announce it on the front page?

The Scum and The Times,

No apology from them will ever be good enough, just hope Everton step up and do the same and quickly.

It's took too long because of gutless board members not understanding how the community felt.

Tbf The Sun would have been slated if they had put it on their front page.

Was there a bigger story? and why would've they been slated? Perfect opportunity to show they'd changed. Rag needs shutting down.
