More fool them if they expected things to change overnight.

if he does it's as much luck as anything else imo lumba. His only hope is if he can persuade FSG to drop the remnants of their silly policy and if he can eradicate the remaining influence of the committee, and then convince them to recruit proven PL ready quality players. We know they're well and truly bruised and battered with this stupid policy, but Herr Klopp will do well to get them to eat humble pie. This for me must be his priority, and if he fails he'll do well to better any of his predecessors, especially our last incumbent with that 2nd place to his name. I wish him well for our sake but I don't envy him his task or his likely sentence I two years time or so.

With a top man in charge and the extension completed it could be the precursor to the for sale sign going up. Wishful thinking i know but i'm going with it.

That makes a lot of sense FSG probably expected champions league status in their spreadsheet by now that's not happened Klopp on the prospectus would increase the price vs Rodgers there is sound logic behind that

I see I'm not the only one.

It's something to hang on to, even if we are clutching at straws, as they say; hope springs eternal and all that. The problem is though, if Klopp can do no better than his first two efforts, potential buyers may prove to be scarce as hens teeth, and I don't fancy his chances on Sunday or the following weekend either. The thought tarnished goods comes to mind, and our friends at FSG could be running out of road sooner than they think. Don't misunderstand me, I'll be rooting for a win on both occasions, but far from confident.

I'd like to think/hope that a for sale sign goes up soon. The down side of that would be that Klopp would likely be given little or nothing to spend in January.
125m of Rodgers spending money came from the sale of Suarez and Sterling, we don't have anyone left to sell (Coutinho? I'd hope not)) to fund a spending spree, so a refusal in January on FSG's part might just be an indication of their intention to sell.
Catch 22.

Said that very early Sixty along with a fair few others on here and I've seen nothing to suggest otherwise up to now. As with most of these buys- big fish small pond players who've flattered to deceive.

Klopp is no magician but will improve some players. Some cannot be improved like Allen and Leiva IMO, problem is, they are our only more defensive CM. The forward department can only get better as Origi is the worst we have and defense has already improved IMO.
