Well, that's Rodgers gone. Can't say I'm surprised, Liverpool have been awful this season. Klopp will be the favourite to replace him I imagine.

I'd like to say he's been hard done by, but spending £200m on a bunch of players that don't really fit your system (whether that was his decision or not) and coming in 6th every year is never gonna end well.

Now begins the weeks where every manager linked with the job slowly starts ruling themselves out and they end up with Sean Dyche or someone.

Yeah, you can talk a lot about him losing some important players, but it's not like the club didn't know it was coming.

When you replace one of the best strikers in the world with Rickie Lambert and a guy with quality but massive behaviour issues, what do you expect.

Be interesting to see who they get in, and not liking that Tottenham is gonna be the next managers first game. No better way to kick off a honeymoon period than smashing Spurs

He's not really spent £200 million. Yes that amount may be in the spend column, but when you have sold quality players to get that money then you are in deficit. In reality it was more like £12 million the last window.

I've never seen a Derby like it. No passion, no heart, no commitment. Just as bad as the time when we had Roy Hodgson. Nice bloke, just not good enough. Timing was right. Gives the next manager time to evaluate what is needed and to spend as appropriate. When you look at the bench and it's full of kids that nobody knows then something is wrong.

To be fair, he's at about 90 million net spend so far over the three years, which considering the transfers is awful.

Never really looked a list of them before, considering the costs of some of them, way too few successes.

Our next match is against Liverpool. A team with a new manager and a team full of players eager to impress that new manager. Why does this always happen to us? It was Pardew's return to Palace last season. They won. Just as I expect Liverpool to do here

We didn't need a new manager to beat Spurs.

Last 5 games: 3-2, 3-0, 4-0, 5-0, 3-2.

Hey, we got it down to 1 goal difference last time! We might've even drew this time.

I just hope Klopp hasn't learnt their names yet so he accidentally picks all the reserve players thinking he's picked all the first team players

Confirmed.

And it looks like the end of the road for Septic Bladder and Platini.

I'm keeping quietly optimistic about the Blatter/Platini malarky. Whilst the news is all good at the moment, they're slimy as fuck and rich which suggest they'll be joint president by the end of the year.

And shit towards the Klopp thing. Hopefully it'll be more of Mainz relegation season/Dortmunds 7th place, than the two title winning seasons.

And if there isn't a huge banner with "Klopp End" at the Kop end at his first home game I'll be sorely disappointed.

Don't know why everyone's excited about Klopp in the Prem, it's big Sam's return to the league with Sunderland that's going to set the league on fire

I like Big Sam, but Sunderland bore me as a team, so I kind of hope he's a failure. I really want to see them relegated.

It will be interesting to see Klopp though. Everyone's talking about winning the league, but I think that's a long way off.

I still wish we had Big Sam, saved us from the disaster that was Paul Ince and then made us formidable at home (although the annual tanking at Old Trafford took the piss a little).

As for Klopp, I'm a bit torn. Love the guy but don't really like Liverpool, but he may be enough to sway me into wishing them a bit better luck over the coming months.
