It's certainly going to be an interesting dynamic on this forum having a manager who so many fawn over in charge of our arch rivals while we have a manager half our fans can't seem to stand.
Sturridges cheese strings are trembling at the thought.
I'd guess that they have but can't disclose as such.
There must be a clear indication from Klopp's camp that he is interested. Can't see that FSG would release Rodgers without at least an informal sign from Klopp or intermediaries working behind the scenes. I would assume that the Echo won't say anything official today as that could perhaps be picked apart by Rodgers' legal team as a breach of contract or something.
Or someone else than Klopp.
That whole post is based on the idea that Klopp is the only possible candidate?
I Just looked at Klopp's Wikipedia page, it says he played as a striker/defender. What the hell...
The Daily Star reckon he's in.

Dion Dublin style.
He wasn't a great striker and thus converted to a centre back.
He took Piszczek who was one of the least promising top division forwards in Poland and was actually awful for Hertha Berlin and made him one of top 5 right backs in Europe. He doesn't even need top talent to work with, he will get the best out of what he has.
A terrific manager and exactly what Liverpool need. Will stick around for 8-10 years too if he enjoys it there and he could win them the league. There isn't much quality competition in England and good manager can make a whole world of difference.
About time he joined the prem. A tactical injection like him would be good for the league with these dinosaurs all over the place.
I would love to see him in the prem, just not at Liverpool 
#Kloppforthekop is trending
"Sometimes, timing is very important." Those were his words 11 months ago.
Even Klopp has to be in possession of a quality team before he can create his magic. He would be a bigger threat at Arsenal i reckon with their style of play and pace on the counter.
So I'm not the most clued up on everything about Klopp. Can anyone compile a breakdown of how he could change Liverpool if he were to take over, maybe include anything that could go against him too
I thought in the past I'd read that Klopp isn't interested in going to Liverpool? But then he is interested in coming to the Premier League so it seems likely he'll go to Liverpool.
Mind you, if he waits another couple of weeks then LVG may be in real trouble. If we play as we did today against Everton, CSKA and City then suddenly who knows.

I can't see LVG not being there at the end of the season. Another couple of poor results for Chelsea & United would see Mourinho out the door before LVG.
My guess is that he'll try something like setting up a quick counterattacking system and pressing all the time.
The fact that the Liverpool squad is quite large could prove useful for Klopp (and for any new manager).
If you need five quality players picking up your slack in order for you to not look like a liability, you're not a decent defender.
Pro:
+ Has shown at both Mainz and Dortmund that he can take weak teams and lead them to something greater than before. While he got relegated with Mainz, it has to be noted that he was the one that brought them to the Bundesliga in the first place and kept them up there for longer than anyone would have imagined. At Dortmund, he rebuilt what had been a good team, but had slumped to mediocrity the years before his arrival.
+ Great motivator, good public handling of himself and his image
+ Able to develop young players
+ Good eye for bargains and ability to find niches for players where they can operate to their full potential
Con:
- Ran out of steam with both Mainz and Dortmund after long years of success
- Needed time to create his teams which he may not get a Liverpool
- Unknown (at least to me) how reliant he is on his staff in terms of tactics and training
Hard to predict anything (if there's something to predict, it's all speculation for now), but if he plays his cards right he could probably use this season to find a suitable system, get them a respectable league finish, then invest wisely in january and in the summer. I'd say he could be able to turn Liverpool into genuine contenders.
Not much else on the contra-side to be said as of right now. A job at Liverpool could show us if he can replicate his success other completely different circumstances (better starting squad, way more money, but also super high expectations to deliver immediately)
Be surprised if they get Klopp, there is a good chance the Bayern, Barca, Chelsea, and maybe Madrid jobs will be available very soon, also it would obviously rule him out of the United job permanently.
Is this pretty much happening then? Seems to have the same momentum as when we were after van Gaal.
Oh, don't get me wrong - he'd be the man I'd appoint as well. But United supporters here are talking as if we're talking about a young version of Mourinho or something, who until Real Madrid was the best guarantee for success and trophies. It's not quite the scenario (and to be fair, not quite the club).
He is a legend of a guy........i don't want him to go to Liverpool cos then i'll want him to lose.
Don't want him to join Liverpool. He should only take over an european elite team. Real, Barca, United, Chelsea, Bayern or maybe even City.
This is going to be so odd. I like him a lot. Pretty much the perfect character for club like ours.
I hope he fails miserably.
I hope he fails miserably.
The only thing that can save the day is if Gerrard wants to come back.
He's a nutter though. This could be entertaining. Yes he could get it very, very right for them. But last season was horrific from him, so I don't think he represents any sort of guarantee.
Timing is important. For example I bet he wished he timed his exit from Dortmund a bit better. Had he left the season before his last he'd have had a host of top clubs including United who would have had a job available for him to walk into. As it turned he stayed to lead a decimated Dortmund team who went to have a miserable season. He also doesn't possibly have the pick of clubs he could have had considering most of the top jobs are filled.
I would rather they have Klopp than Ancelloti. Although Klopp was a huge success in Germany, he has a tiny bit of a bad record in his last season at Dortmund. Something to hold on to for me.
And for me this headline will never gets old: "Klopp is a Kop flop".

If he comes back as any kind of coach/manager, hopefully he'll have the same effect Shearer had in charge of Newcastle...
I agree. He's the kind of guy who wouldn't take long to get players on his side and then put entertainment before anything else, which is what United was and should be all about.
How about Klopp takes Kop to Top?
Good one.
Like I said previously, I really hope he goes there. The work he could do from the ground up could be very interesting to watch unfold over the next couple of years if he's given the resources.
I could also see him loving it there, he seems like the kind of person to buy in the "kop cult" mentality that seems common with Liverpool fan.
Although, it would also be massively hilarious if they don't get him.
The people who will be forced to "hate" him now, I'm sure you'll live.
Don't be silly.

Or if he doesn't take the job: Klop kops out of the Kop.
He'll take it cause at the moment, "Klopp is out of job"
Let him go there, he had a Rodgersesque boom bust cycle with Dortmund, perfect for them, build them up so they think they're invincible and then relegation battle the next year..
