Paulo Fonseca being linked too.

There’s an interesting one. He’s got a good record, likes to attack and develop youth players.

We must have reached the bottom of the barrel if we’re at him. Calling him a journeyman is being generous. That or the journalists are now sticking random names in a hat and hoping for the best.

I’ve read this morning that Amorim is tipped for us, this is the first public hint I’ve viewed anywhere other than on this great site, I read it on Live soccer tv. There’s a little bio on him too.

Kew, that article read like an AI produced round up of previous rumours, so wasn’t saying anything new. According to the usually reliable David Ornstein, Amorim has spoken to West Ham, he’s unlikely to join us as manager and we’re apparently looking at “other options”.

Interesting Kew. Ornstein (one of the more reliable journos) has tweeted last night that he’s now “unlikely”.

I think Ed002 mentioned that we couldn’t agree terms/ responsibilities with his agent.

If we’re not going to land an recognised TOP drawer manager We might as well go for Gerrard. He will, at the very least, win instant respect of the dressing room- manage egos well. Who knows the club DNA better? He will fire up a squad that will feel deflated post Klopp (unless we pull off the miracle of winning the Prem)

{Ed025's Note - him or Lampard would do me Kenco.. :)

Good god I'd rather have De Zerbi over Gerrard and that's saying something.

Kenco, stick to coffee as football isn’t your thing, Gerrard will never be good enough or competent enough a manager. A career in punditry is awaiting him on Match of the Day.

The idea of Thomas frank is growing on me.

Prem xp, good personality, good football. Pros and cons to everyone who isn't klopp.

{Ed001's Note - good football? Since when? Good shithousery, but never good football. They are horrible to watch, all niggly fouls and time wasting.}

Clutching straws but bits I've watched outside playing the top teams prem sides when he's had players at his disposal like mbeumo the football looked good.

Obviously I'm far from an expert or really know what I'm looking for to be honest, I like him tho and his personality.

I'm terms of who's being linked and reported who do you feel is the more suited, better option.

{Ed001's Note - I like him as a person, he comes across very well, but he is not a top level manager. He is at his level.

There is no top option out there. The standout is Alonso, the rest are huge gambles. Amorim and Slot are the next best options probably.}

Good Lord. We've gone from the prospect of getting Alonso to Amorin to now discussing Kovac, Frank and Gerrard?

I think I'm going to puke ?

Ed1, if it's not Amorin or Slot, who else can we go after?

Any wildcard options like Fonseca, Motta, Michel etc? Any of them good in your opinion? I can't say I've seen any of their games.

{Ed001's Note - honestly the rest are all huge gambles. There is no one who has the outstanding qualities or has shown himself to suit the Liverpool way, other than Alonso. Even Amorim and Slot are big gambles.}

Opinion on Slot Ed1? I haven't watch Dutch League or his Fayenoord team. How is his team plays and what formations did he use? To be honest the idea of a manager from Dutch League as our manager doesn't convince me. We all saw what happen to Ten Hag at UTD. And Ten Hag manage to get his Ajax side to UCL semi final but look out of his depth at UTD.

{Ed001's Note - I haven't really seen enough of Slot's Feyenoord team to really judge him properly. It is more about the record he has, compared to money spent that makes him a standout. I do have the same fear I have to say.}

Why do people think Frank would be a good appointment? He would be catastrophic, the man has absolutely no track record of success and his teams play horrible football, this is far too big a job for him.

What about Inter's Simone Inzaghi Ed1? I don't know why his name has not being mentioned as potential Klopp replacement. He seems to be doing great with Inter, last season UCL finalist and blowing out competition in Serie A this season. Inter just lose once this season and conceded only 18 goals. Don't know whether he speaks English or not though.

{Ed001's Note - not for me. Every time I saw his Lazio team play they were so bad to watch and his Inter has been the same. He doesn't seem to have the right personality either. All clubs are unique and require the right personality to be a true success and I don't see signs of him having it.}

After the German season has finished, Liverpool need to go cap-in-hand to Alonso's agent and have another go at getting him.

{Ed002's Note - He won't be joining Liverpool.}

2000s Portsmouth Mafia could be running the club! Gary O’Neil latest to be rumoured.

{Ed002's Note - Gary O'Neil (C) If Moyes departs, O'Neil will join the likely candidates for West Ham. I suspect he will stay where he is. Links to Liverpool are likely just to be with the input of Richard Hughes – I really cannot see the club going that way – it would be a shock and I think risky with so little experience.}

Ed25.I see you haven't lost your sense of humor.

Maybe it's because Everton are basically safe now. unless the FA decide to deduct more points.

Since you're throwing Lamps name around. why not just add Allardyce to that list? Or even Moyes since Amorim is replacing Moyes.

I reckon we are all going to be shocked by the next appointment. can't wait!

{Ed025's Note - all good candidates i would say JLC, we are talking top notch candidates here mate.. :)

De zerbi's better than people on here think, wouldn't surprise me at all to see him do great things if he went to a top club with a squad to match.

ED001, if we are way down our list of preferred managers, what do you think of Iraola at Bournemouth? Seems to have turned a relegation threatened team in to one that is more mid table (after the players bought in to his ideas) . Could he step up?

{Ed001's Note - before he went to Bournemouth he was certainly very impressive in Spain. He seems to have turned it around on the south coast as well. Like all the other options, it just seems a bit soon for him to be getting the Liverpool job.}

I have done a bit of research and Slot might not be that bad of a gamble. He plays attacking, entertaining football which also press high up the pitch. He uses a 433 or 4231 which would fit with the players we currently have.
Feyenoord have the most tackles in the final third over all Dutch teams. He also operates on a smaller budget to those clubs around him, sound familiar?
The more I read the more I like.
