ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3


Gerrard's M.O. at Rangers has been a passive aggressive stance with his board: get a little cash, but always positioning himself as having to be disciplined where money is concerned. A company man. He's a stranger to that scene, but he knows that approach suits Rangers' culture - where deference is demanded (and tolerated by the Rangers fans).

Liverpool is a different kettle of fish on that score, and he would outmanoeuvre FSG amongst the fans, the media and the commentariat.

If you were FSG yould avoid him. However, they might face no alternative if the Liverpool base are fired up for it. It's almost Trumpian.

If I were a prediction man, I would say Ljinders first and the preparatory reign for Gerrard. Dont rule out a bit of Kenny in the middle though.

There will be enormous pressure for Gerrard, but FSG will not want him. I've seen nothing to say he could deal with their structure from his time at Rangers, especially a more austere version of it we will have.

Lampard at Chelsea is a good comparison. All I will say with Lampard though, is he inherited Chelsea in a better position than who will inherit Liverpool. They were 3rd and had just won the Europa League. They also have loads of top class young players ready to be blooded. His experience at Derby-having to play younger players is very different to Gerrards.

Lampard took them to mid table. I think slippy could go the Souness/Hodgson way.

They should probably go and get Hassunhuttl to steady the ship, though he is looking rather David Werner esque currently.

But I suspect Ljinders, who they will have a go at protecting, but it will dismally fail.

I think the King Kenny aspect is a no-goer.
The figure of a man that he cut going for the runners up medal the year Chelsea beat them in the cup final told me he won't go near managing again.
 

It would be glorious to watch. The hype then the inevitable failure.
Especially if he wins say his first 3 or 4 games, the snivelling would be at fever pitch, he’d be compared to the great SAF, his comments would be printed and ready to be etched in history similar to the great quotes from the likes of Plato and Confucius.
Sky would start the process of making a documentary about his humble beginnings to the greatest manager to have ever lived, they’ll probably get Attenborough to narrate it, then bang, the rot will start.
It will be glorious

They might look to Nagelsmann - although whether Nagelsmann would want to follow Klopp is another matter.
