Nah.. he is a winner.. Given the resources he has had and the dominance of Bayern.. he has done exceptionally well..
Except they gave us glorious wins and trophies, he's just given us a fart in a lift.
He who shall not be named..
Bold prediction..
West Ham will become the next City..
60,000 seater stadium with plenty of corporate hospitality.. in London too..
Some Sheik will buy them before you know it...
If this was a Dortmund forum there'd be multiple threads about why we should/shouldn't appoint Rafa Benitez.
Not if it would be a forum with mostly reasonable posters.
This applies to almost all club forums.
Because we're Liverpool fans, albeit ones disorientated by finding ourselves in a Dortmund forum.
To me thats the biggest risk with Klopp, his heart wont be in it anywhere else, hes an emotional guy and he clearly had a very strong connection with Dortmund and their fans. It happens to managers all the time, Rafa has been treading water since he left us
Agreed, but the other side of the coin is that, if he *were* to rediscover that kind of connection with another club, it could work really well. It may be unlikely that that would happen straight away at his next club though. Rebound relationships are rarely if ever a good idea.
Maybe Rafa should go back to Valencia - so as he can re-boot that emotional attachment.
The other thing with Klopp is that hes done his time working miracles on a tight budget only to have his best players picked off by the megabucks rival club and its clearly affected him, in Germany there was only one club he had to worry about, if he came here it would be even worse with several clubs easily outspending us. Im just not sure he will fancy that same uphill struggle again, I think he will want a club that has the financial clout to hold onto their best players
The weird thing about his time at Dortmund is that he did all his good work when they had little nett spend. When they finally opened the purse strings, shit happened.

They were still losing their best players though.
Regarding the emotions part, he left Mainz, where he spent his entire senior playing career (11 years) and another 7 years in managerial role for Dortmund.
So he is emotionally attached to German teams.....

Nevertheless, it was important to me to take the opportunity to say goodbye with all of you and to all of you.
The seven years of our life together will come to an end next week, but this is the last time we’re here together at the Signal Iduna Park, which has been my home. It’s an extraordinary stadium, an extraordinary place but of course it’s only that extraordinary - not because it was constructed so superbly - but because all of you have made it what it is. I’ve enjoyed every second I’ve been here, not only here in the stadium but in general with you, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
My coaching team and I were fortunate enough to come here in 2008 and if ever there was a ‘win-win’ situation in football then this has been it. We’ve spent a long period in our lives together, experienced things together and gone through things together and those things stay in your memory in a positive way. I’m taking a huge sack of positive memories with me [loud cheering from the crowd] and I hope you are too.
Those are the things you say thank you for. My thanks also go to [president] Reinhard Rauball, [CEO] Joachim Watzke, [sporting director] Michael Zorc and every single employee at Borussia Dortmund. Believe me, you can be proud that people like that are taking care of your club because every single person who works for BVB is also a fan of the club. I don’t know if that’s the case everywhere but it is here. They do everything wholeheartedly and they’re the best at what they do.
It’s given me great pleasure working with you, and it’s been a huge honour to work for this club and to work for you. Now that time is over and as a little tip from someone who has already had to say farewell to a fantastic club before, namely Mainz, I can only advise you not to draw comparisons with me because comparisons diminish the wonderful memories there are and make a wonderful future all the more difficult. And this club will have a wonderful future, I’m absolutely sure of that.
You’re all sensational and you’re getting a great coach. But we’ve still got a few plans because next week we’re in the DFB Cup final and ideally I’d really love to have a party in the city centre next Sunday. It’d be great to end things in such a way. I’ve had great fun here and again, many, many thanks for everything and we’ll see each other again, we definitely will."[/article]
4/5 to be our next manager.
Our hopes are going to be crushed aren't they.

Oh fuck, I hope not. The bookies can be wrong but when odds go that short it's usually for a reason.
Then why would you hope not?
Ive been pro Mr Rodgers since day one but if Klopp would come id be chuffed as. Thats just common sense. Like selling Mignolet if Courtois wanted to come here.
Nah. The bookies often go that safe when they believe they see something (BR's record this season) and 1+1=3. It's not a near cert until we start getting to 1/5 on etc.
I'd love Klopp here, though the chance of that happening is remote to stay the least, and drop I'd BR in a heartbeat.
Aye, this.
Let's not get rid and not have a replacement lined up. Otherwise, it's Rafa -> Hodge all over again.
