Let's throw in names lads.

Of course we've been speculating for the past few months already but now that it's official it warrants a thread.

I would be very disappointed if it isn't Klopp or Ancelotti.

Mazzarri would make me very sad and I will give up on this club.

Will be very unhappy with De Boer as well.

And if it's one of Monk or Howe well same thing as Mazzarri.

I just hope its Klopp. Ancelotti will have a fine eye at the proceedings at Chelsea, They adore him there.

If it's not either one of the big two, then well *bleep* me, chances it won't be, so FSg will have their dick in their hands soon.

Big Sam

Dick Advocaat has resigned. Coincidence?

Ancelotti's a better manager, Klopp knows how to use a budget. I hope its one of them.

I don't want Ancelotti. I do rate him, but I rather have someone to whom the Liverpool job is a step up, not a step down.

I think Carlo is professional and he can do well, will attract very good players to our club.

Klopp also is fine with me but he will have to prove himself with the current squad and in EPL:

why would you want Ancelotti lol. Doesn't make sense.
He's fantastic with huge stars and in the CL.

You have neither.

You're getting the perfect manager for your club. Be happy.

just because Carlo worked with Stars doesnt mean he wont find a way with our players ! This argument is not so true when you look at his management from Milan till date.

Carlo is my personal choice over Klopp. But it doesnt mean that I am not happy with Klopp !

For Liverpool, Klopp is by far the better choice than Carlo.

I love Carlo, would love him at Bayern at some point but he's not exactly known for his promotion of young talent and his league performances.

Klopp has shown at Dortmund exactly what is needed at Liverpool. Punch above your weight so consistently that your club becomes heavier.
He's got nothing to prove, and if he becomes Liverpool manager that would be the best bit of news Liverpool have had in a decade or so.

the other concern is, if Klopp bleeps up by not finishing in top 4 this season and we lose the likes of Coutinho, I wonder which good players will come to join us !

In other case, if Carlo somehow finishes 5th and in case we lose the likes of Coutinho (very unlikely if Carlo is there), I think he can better players compared to Klopp !

Klopp doesn't need to buy stars, he makes stars

AVB is available.

Sky Italy (the first to say it ) insists on Klopp . It'd be fantastic

Either of Klopp or Carlo would be fantastic. I personally prefer Klopp just ahead of Ancelotti but won't be complaining either way.

Anyone else and it will be a massive disappointment.

Agree with Hansie that Klopp seems a better fit given Liverpool's current circumstances.

Has to be Klopp or Carlo or FSG can follow Rodgers.

Atleast someone agrees with me.

So is it Christmas yet??

There is also politics at the club. We dont quite know yet how the things are running behind the scene. But in FSG tenure till now, I guess that it is complicated. So Klopp is kind of verrückt guy and if he gets pissed off with the politics, he might well leave as the club even without a notice . He had a very constructive and nice set up at Dortmund. He could concentrate on his job well because of his other team. Right now we do not have a good structure.

Carlo on the other hand, has worked in complicated atmosphere before. He has a lot of experience and I also think he can contribute more to build a solid foundation (off the pitch). He can handle everything professionally and will still be able to manage on pitch results.

If Klopp wants to succeed at the club, he has to make sure that he is on clear terms with the owners. He needs to define his own responsibilities and make sure that others are also clear with their job/assignments. Otherwise we fans are being deluded that just changing the coach is going to bring automatic success to the club.

If it's between Klopp and Ancelotti I'd rather take Klopp.

Would also be happy with McCarthy, Allardyce, Pardew or Lambert.

I haven't got a clue who is better (or worse) between Klopp and Ancelotti. I'm simply not that knowledgeable in this issue. I do fancy Klopp simply because a hip-hop lookking and acting manager is more endearing to me than a formal looking, somber-faced one.

Both are immensely competent. But Ancelotti perhaps has an edge from managing Chelsea few years back.

I would never argue that Klopp is better than Ancelotti.
I would argue that he's a better fit than Ancelotti in your current situation.
