Good news. Good move for Liverpool, and for Klopp. Think he will be a big success there. Can see him winning a league title in afew years given the time

Which they can easy afford too. I always when folk say about managers at big clubs splashing loads of £Â£Ã‚£'s. If they've got it to spend, they'll spend it. The only one exception is Wenger at Arsenal. All these big English Premier clubs are absolutely dripping in cash. Doesn't matter much who the manager is, they will spend
Financial Fair Play is a joke too. City and PSG just flaunt it regardless of what UEFA say. Might even have beaten it in court if I'm not mistaken

I'm not saying they can't afford it, just think it's laughable how much they've blown for the shite they have. Sure they are like the 3rd most expensive team in the world over the past 5 years or something mental like that.
He's a great manager clearly but I don't think he'll do well at Liverpool. They'll expect instant success and I think that squad will need to be almost completely rebuilt. It's not the cash or the managerial ability, it's the patience and time - managers always say they need time to build teams and fans/boards just refuse to even listen.

No chance IMO. They are ganting and absolutely riddled with mediocrity. It'll take him til the summer to sort them out I reckon.

They're terrible, they have scarcely any good players (Coutinho, Sturridge if fit, and... um....?) - yet all things are still possible for Liverpool this season, purely because the league is so fucking awful.
Liverpool are looking at Europa League at best, and even then I'm not convinced they'll make that. They're riddled with mediocrity from top to bottom. It'll take Klopp 12 months at least to make a real difference.
History is made. Germany, Brazil (who were abject) and Argentina (who were hilarious) have lost on the same day for the first time ever. And in Argentina's case, it was at home.
For the record: no South American side has ever qualified for the World Cup after starting their campaign with a home defeat. A record which, unless Argentina decide to impersonate Holland for the next 17 games, must surely go now. Surely?

Exactly why I think they will. If they can be only 6 points off top despite being rancid at this point you have to give them a shot with a coach like Klopp who is known for his man management. He will get these guys working as a unit.
