I really don't know how i feel about this which is usually an indication of a bad idea. I agree for what small benefit we get we are exposing to a whole lot of trouble Gerrard is a big presence this can only interfere with klopps influence good and bad to this but my instinct tells me steer clear Only weak charactered people would be worried with big presence of any player and I don't think Klopp will be. THIS.

Well I am sure Klopp won't be phazed by Gerard's presence but that's not the point us it ? Why give yourself that problem for little gain ? What's the point of doing it ? That's the point and frankly I can see no point other than he was once a great player for us. If he had some unique coaching skills or other experience then it's different but in the absence if that it just seems to be creating an unnecessary complication.

So for that reason I'd agree any return "in this moment" is premature.

The guy needs to stay fit and if the club he has dedicated the better part of his carreer to (he could have gone elsewhere and won more money and trophies) cannot support him, then that would be mean. A guy like Rodgers might have felt threatened, but I am sure Klopp is bigger than that, only weak characters would be afraid, not people who a full of self confidence. I would be very happy if the club could support one of it's greatest servants.

Maybe a good 30 mins left in him and we all know how he can change a game, and I've seen RFC's comment above, but Stanley's point stands imo, we don't need any distractions as Klopp works on the players mindset, so for me any return before next season is premature.

You keep missing the point I am not disputing Klopp won't be phazed by his presence but what's the objective of this excercise from the point of view of the club ? He is no longer an employee it's his problem if he needs to keep fit his and his new club. Being mean does not enter into it he is no longer anything to do with us. It just seems no gain and potential distractions for LFC unless we are now a registered charity ?

Well, my whole point is that the club should keep links with its former employees especially those former great and support them whenever possible. You think that Arsenal was a charity when they took Thierry Henry on the same grounds? What does Bobby Charlton do at United? SG is part of the recent history of the club and will end up at least being an embassador. You had the same reaction when KD came back as Director. What is LFC for you then, walls and green turf? I am sure the club and Klopp are not as mean as you. Let's see how it goes.

Bobby charlton is a Manchester United director Kenny dalglish was an employed ambassador this is different. I understand the point about ex players and culture but I am wary of this if he comes and trains I won't get too excited it's just a distraction we could do without at the moment with Klopp trying to get his message across
