I know it was a different time and different owners but Rafa was widely regarded as one of the best coaches in Europe when we got him from Valencia, having led them to 2 La Liga titles ahead of Real Madrid and Barcelona if I remember rightly.


The only time we have gone for a 'big' manager was when we got Mr Benitez. Historically, we have always gone for the unproven or unknown managers. Considering we are the most successful club in English history, it is hard to argue with our approach.


Houllier also was somewhat proven, maybe not as Rafa, but credentials were much better than Rodgers.

Not because of Klopp leaving Dortmund, why would he come to Liverpool? I can't think of any serious reason he would come to Liverpool.

Well let's hope he thinks differently to you IF Rodgers is sacked as I think he's a step up.

Now if you put yourself in Klopp's shoes, would you choose to manage LFC if and when given the chance to manage bigger clubs? Probably not, but I wouldn't be surprised if he does as he seems to be the kind of guy who might cherish the challenge just for the hell of it.

Actually, I would. He's of an age where he would have been very aware of how great a club we used to be and managing LFC in europe would be a big thing.

I'm also not sure that a "BIG" club would be interested in him considering his team have fallen even further from grace than we have after last season's heroics.

The only 'Big' clubs that would be looking for a manager are City and maybe PSG, though this is not certain. I think we should act fast.

He isn't the top top manager we need and I have my doubts if he can be an upgrade on Rodgers.
