Brendan for the chop & Klopp for the Kop

Brendan for the chop & Klopp for the Kop.

  I think Rodgers' days at Liverpool are well and truly numbered after that FA Cup semi-final defeat, I do think that he is a good manager but he is not cut out for a club of Liverpool's stature and expectations. His 'brand' of football is pleasant enough and he speaks very intelligently about the game, but when all is said and done its results and trophies that he will be judged on,

No silverware in three seasons is just not going to sit well with a club like Liverpool, they will not afford any manager the kind of time that Arsenal have afforded Wenger. Steven Gerrard's departure at the end of the season will not harm the football club anywhere near as much as it would have had he left at the peak of his power, but his departure could signal a major change at Anfield. It could very well be treated as a time to start over, to re-build.

The saga surrounding Raheem Sterling will be resolved over the summer in one way or another, but if he does leave then Liverpool will have to spend some serious money to compete with the title chasing sides next year. That being the case, will Rodgers be trusted to invest that money wisely? Looking at the players he has bought in, I would suggest that he will not be.

So who would be tempted to take over a club with such expectation and history?

One chap who might just have the ability to build a new, vibrant Liverpool is Jurgen Klopp. He looks unlikely to take the reigns at Manchester City and with Van Gaal finishing the season strongly it would seem that Liverpool have become the obvious destination. Klopp would not only galvanise the current squad, he would be able to attract quality players keen to work with him. With no champions league football, attracting quality players can often be a struggle but you feel that Klopp could well be a solution.

Klopp would be a very popular arrival, the Kop would love to see him in charge next season and I think that the Liverpool hierachy will not be able to let the oppurtunity of luring him pass by. It would certainly make some fantastic managerial battles with the likes of Mourinho and Van Gaal already present, the premier league needs characters like Klopp and I for one hope that Liverpool make him an offer that he cant refuse.
