He's a rich man's Martin Allen. He'll ruffle a few feathers that need ruffling initially bit it will soon turn to dog shit and the fans will hate his style of play. Winning isn't enough for them.

Excellent appointment for them. But no doubt he'll fail like the rest of them.

Slot and LFC will be parting company shortly; not sure of the time frame yet!

Yes, heard this suggestion as well. Hoeness or Nagelsmann could be favourites to replace apparently :?

Seems Mo’s “departing tweet” might have concentrated minds?

Heavy metal football :lol:

He must love a challenge. No European football likely either, should see them favourites to win the PL next season.

The tributes and near eulogy of it all is going to be absolutely nauseating

Still just a rumour but seems to be getting stronger as time passes. Can’t see anything being confirmed officially either way until after the end of the season on Sunday.

I reckon I (like most on here) could do an average job of football management.

See what players you have, try to have them playing in their favoured positions as much as possible.

Only implement your 'ideas' over time

The difficulties would probably stem from the players and fans being fcuking tw@ts.

And a sporting director who insists on the playing style you have to conform to.

I always wonder if the biggest challenge to a manager being successful is having a changing room of players who are mostly absolute idiots

The usual musical chairs starts again in Serie A.

I wonder who will be the first to complete the set

Are we the only country where managers don't seem to manage lots of the top clubs or is Italy the odd one out?
