Rodgers gone

Quoted from TheRonRaffertyFanClub

Klopp would be the bigger gamble though. No experience of the weekly pressure on managers in the Prem, media criticism, demands for instant success at home and in Europe ............. and all this with a squad that needs a complete overhaul.

Klopp is well renowned for making good teams on a shoestring budget. Plus he's not exactly a powderpuff with the media. I also wouldn't say the Liverpool squad needs an overhaul, they have good players; it's the tactics they were lacking.

He has only done it with one club, Dortmund and he had time to do it because there were no massive expectations when he took the job. In a way it was like Rodgers at Swansea. Ideas don't always translate from club to club and Klopp only knows one club.

I suspect Klopp would find that time is a lot shorter at Liverpool to achieve success. The owners want the team back in the CL next season for instance. Also the British media is a lot more cutting that he's used to.

Not that I don't think he could do the job but he might find the culture shock takes some getting used to and he won't be the Kop's messiah in a hurry.

I think Klopp's style of play with relentless, high-intensity pressing of the opposition and quick counter-attacking would work a treat in the Premier League. I suppose Ancelotti is the bigger name but he's been a bit of a wanderer the past few years. Just a couple of seasons here and there.

I can already see 'The Sun' sub-editors writing their first headline .....KLOPP DROPS KOP FLOPS.

That's true. His favoured style would suit the Prem. But it is a highly drilled style of play and it needs players who are fit and amenable to that discipline. I wonder how many current Liverpool players fit that bill?  He would need to sign a new backroom and some of his favourites to show them how to do it and it could take a while for it to work. Would he get the time? How patient is the Kop and how patient are the owners? How would he adapt to a new club after all that time in one place?

Lawrensons comments strangely echo some of what i feel about Hurst.

Rodgers was often seen as arrogant at Liverpool.  Not the best place to be arrogant. The fans there know how things really are and have not taken to him.  

Hurst is not arrogant but he is very stubborn.  This also annoys the fans.

Not shorty and shouty again.

Klopp also did a good job at Mainz but I agree about the short-termism. Dortmund almost went bust a while back so their fans seem to be very understanding (even when they were struggling last season there was no fan pressure on him). I like Klopp, so ideally they'll give the job to someone else!

Also, just to be pedantic, Suarez was there when Rodgers got the job
