Although Pep Lijnders has confirmed that he is also leaving at the end of the season have any discussions been held regarding him possibly taking over and is this seen as a viable option by Edward’s and the new sporting director.
{Ed002's Note - He is leaving and Liverpool are considering other options.}
1.) 01 Apr 2024 10:13:02
Wow - which bit of I’m leaving is hard to understand?
2.) 01 Apr 2024 10:19:15
Thanks Ed002 ?
Very clear and very obliging with your answers, it is greatly appreciated.
3.) 01 Apr 2024 11:45:34
WDW I remember Gerrard saying he was leaving once, I remember Furguson saying he was leaving once, I handed my notice in once at a previously before being offered a better package and like the previous 2 mentioned I had a change of heart and stayed put, Edward’s wasn’t back at the club and we hadn’t appointed the new sporting director, for me it would make perfect sense and simply asked with the return of Edward’s could it be an avenue that had previously not been explored! So “I’m leaving” doesn’t necessarily mean it’s set in stone
But thanks for the response Ed.
{Ed002's Note - He is talks with another club.}
4.) 01 Apr 2024 12:26:59
What do Gerrard and Ferguson have to do with anything? King Kenny said he was finishing and he did. Suarez said he wanted to leave and he did. Firmino said he wanted to leave and he did. They have nothing to do with it either. Lijnders said he wants to leave and I believe he is talking to Ajax. He’s Dutch. perhaps managing the biggest name in Dutch football appeals to him.
5.) 01 Apr 2024 12:41:51
The fact that Klopp informed fsg of his decision to step down in November and this wasn’t revealed till several weeks later along with the whole back room staff would suggest the new manager coming in is already sorted. They would have known Barcelona and BM would be looking for a new coach so it would have been stupid of Fsg to just sit on their hands and do nothing once Klopp informed them.
6.) 01 Apr 2024 12:28:27
We all used to blame Lijnders for every single defeat.
Now because we see names like de Zerbi and Southgate we’re all begging him to become manager ?.
7.) 01 Apr 2024 14:34:39
Southgate would be another Hodgson.
8.) 01 Apr 2024 14:48:52
It's quite amusing LiverpoolFC8, seeing how emotionally charged the debate has become. Gareth Southgate would be an illogical choice mind you. There is no evidence he can succeed at club level and his tactics are stagnant, putting it politely.
As for Roberto de Zerbi, I think there's been a lot of hyperbole about him from both ends of the spectrum. Some say he's a genius and the natural Guardiola successor. Others say he's absolutely useless. The truth probably lies somewhere in between. Brighton are great to watch, but I think he needs to fine tune his philosophy for a few more years because I enjoy his teams as a neutral but not sure it'd be quite so fun if I had a dog in the fight!
9.) 01 Apr 2024 15:12:31
Mc scouser 100% agreed this is exactly why I would like to see pep taking over which to me makes perfect sense and should be an almost seamless transition similar to how things used to happen back in the day with promotion from within the boot room, after alonso I’m not really that excited about anybody else coming in maybe Amorim who will have a completely different philosophy and it will take time to implement wholesale tactical changes, now xabi is no longer an option maybe Edward’s and fsg may also see this as an option, the last thing we want is a panic signing like Hodgson, amazing how people believe circumstances opinions and choices can’t alter.
10.) 01 Apr 2024 15:38:01
Acered, I very optimistically thought exactly the same way when the announcement that Klopp was leaving was made but the longer it goes on I think we are far from anything being set in stone.
11.) 01 Apr 2024 16:03:07
What if Pep doesn't want the job?
He might be perfectly happy as a coach, not having to deal with all the day to day issues that a manager does.
12.) 01 Apr 2024 17:19:49
FTR
I think Ljinders next job is a coach, just not Liverpool and I’m happy enough with that. He’s going to have to get used to the day to day issues pretty quick.
13.) 01 Apr 2024 19:24:08
Given that we haven’t signed a manager yet we can, logically, hardly be accused of making a panic signing. The way it was presented by the club was that they were looking for a DoF before they looked to sign a manager. We now have a CEO in place and a DoF. It would seem logical that they are now looking at options, and taking advice under consideration in selecting a manager. In the meantime, after Jurgen’s announcement Lijnders and other members of the back room staff said they are leaving too and, ‘the people’s choice’ has stated that he is staying at Leverkusen. We (the fans) are now leaning towards Amorim as our choice but, in terms of what FSG are thinking, who knows?
Of course, it’s possible that Klopp or Lijnders, as examples, may change their minds but neither seem like they are reconsidering - the former reiterated last week that he is taking a sabbatical and the latter seems to be in talks with another club. With Lijnders, and as has been said by more than one of us - perhaps it is as simple as him just not wanting the job?
14.) 01 Apr 2024 20:55:41
I think FSG will leave it to Edwards/ Hughes.
15.) 01 Apr 2024 22:21:24
What a problem Southgate would have with Trent if he became manager of LFC or would that mean that Trent is off?
16.) 01 Apr 2024 23:04:02
WDW what have Gerrard and co got to do with it? Well they said they were leaving and changed their mind. It’s not inconceivable that Pep could have a change of heart if it suited him. At this stage it’s all unlikely, but stranger things have happened in football.
Personally I’d go for someone fresh, I don’t always buy the assistant angle. I recall Sammy Lee taking over Sam Allerdyce at Bolton and that was supposed to be seamless and it was dire.
17.) 02 Apr 2024 06:48:55
Southgate has never been considered by FSG as an option to replace Klopp that is pure newspaper nonsense!
18.) 02 Apr 2024 09:34:17
Even FSG get that Southgate would be a deeply unpopular choice to be the incoming manager. Suspect it will be Amorim, which is the best of the rest by a very long way.
19.) 02 Apr 2024 11:39:41
Big Sam and Sammy Lee, what a dream team.
Isn't Pep rumoured to be in talks to take over at Ajax? Personally, I think that is a very smart choice for him - big, historic club which he would likely be familiar with but also slightly out of the limelight of the PL, allowing him time and space to develop.
27 Dec 2022 16:19:10
So it was this morning when I read about Gakpo signing, I've tried to look through the recent posts and archives to see when the rumours started circulating before the news actually dropped and who was first to post it? Was somebody or any of the Ed's actually in the know before it became public knowledge and secondly is anybody or any of the Ed's in the know about any other signings liverpool might be currently working on?
Many thanks.
{Ed002's Note - December 13 saw an approach for Gakpo as I understand matters. The player was keen on a move to Manchester United but they made no offer and Liverpool did.}
1.) 27 Dec 2022 17:29:00
Are the club looking to sign a midfielder in January Ed002 if one becomes available and do you think one that the club is looking at will become available. Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Yes and I think a couple of options will be available as previously explained.}
2.) 27 Dec 2022 18:03:37
Hi Ed002, my apologies for asking this question. I did try searching and couldn't find the note. Can you kindly repost some of the available January midfield options that may interest Liverpool?
{Ed002's Note - I can only say where I know of interest, I cannot say about the timings of transfers with any confidence Davey.}
3.) 27 Dec 2022 18:07:34
Great.
4.) 27 Dec 2022 17:49:16
Have we bid for Enzo eds? Reports say the release clause has been met by 2 clubs.
{Ed002's Note - He has no pre-contract with Liverpool and no agreement has been made over his buy out clause at this time.}
03 Apr 2014 20:46:39
Dear ED's, its been a while since I've been on but I've had a good read through tfp and all I see is Liverpool are not interested, he won't be joining and no chance, do any of the ed's know of any players at all that Liverpool are showing any serious interest in.
cheers eds
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool are looking for a wide forward, one, perhaps central midfield players and seemingly a left back. Anything else will be driven by folks leaving.}

Darwin is still a kid give him time.
1.) 20 Apr 2024 09:28:51
He's nearly 25 ?.
2.) 20 Apr 2024 09:41:09
He’s had 2 seasons.
3.) 20 Apr 2024 10:17:34
I'm not convinced about him. Hope he proves me wrong.
4.) 20 Apr 2024 10:21:01
I believe and the data is there to prove that Darwin has already improved massivelly from last season and that is clear for all to see.
It is also true that he needs to go up a level or two in his finishing, decision-making and composure in front of goal. If we quit on him now, we will regret it, IMO.
However and I love him to death, he AIN'T no kid. That's just not true.
5.) 20 Apr 2024 11:11:00
I think the move came a season or 2 too early for him, and he's playing catch up in development.
On the other hand, playing this slow turgid footy the club seem to be obsessed with doesn't help him either. he needs more direct game with balls over the top, crosses being banged in, game played at pace so he has to act more on instinct rather then over think.
Maybe whoever comes in, with a new tactics might be the one to bring out the best in him more consistently.
6.) 20 Apr 2024 11:17:04
Nunez is a tricky subject. for all his hard work n never giving up his finishing for a top striker is poor, I go the games n there's a fella behind me who says captain chaos equals chicken head, while others praise his talents. think he worth sticking with for at least another season, if he put half of his chances away he'd be unstoppable.
7.) 20 Apr 2024 12:10:39
I’m starting to give up on this front line.
8.) 20 Apr 2024 12:29:30
I like Nunez as he’s plays with his heart on his sleeve and does bring energy to the forward line.
I’d love to see him more composed in front of goal because in occasions he’s scored some screamers and then missed some sitters.
His goal record in the league this season has been ok where he has scored jn 9 of his 30 games but he hasn’t quite managed score against any of the big boys when you want your forward to turn up.
His record is
Newcastle - 2
West Ham - 1
Forrest - 2
Burnley - 2
Brentford - 1
Sheff Utd - 1
Bournemouth - 2
What we do know though is will be a new manager in charge next season so could be a new system and way of playing that suits him or it could be the polar opposite and he’s not a regular CF or gets moved wide.
9.) 20 Apr 2024 13:53:58
Nunez needs the ball being played faster than it often is. Some of the problems are down to team mates not getting there heads up quickly enough. Trent and Macca can be the making if him.
10.) 20 Apr 2024 14:53:24
What do we think Nunez really needs to bring our the best in him? IMO it's better crossing and better balls slipped through from midfield.
At the minute I see hardly any decent crossing and our corners are pretty poor. I see lots of tidy passing in midfield but little in the way of decent through balls for a striker to run onto. I reckon Haaland would struggle for goals playing this way.
It's easy to pick holes from afar but small tactical tweaks could probably see a higher goal return from Darwin.
11.) 20 Apr 2024 15:31:25
I don’t know, composure in the box doesn’t rely on the perfect ball. You can see composure and you can see a lack of it. He lacks composure, he puts his head down and his foot through the ball. He doesn’t look up to see the keeper, or his position in relation to the goal. That’s why he’s not clinical. He relies on pure power. At a lower standard it’s enough, at the top level, it isn’t.
01 Apr 2024 08:58:49
Regarding the new manager whoever it will be I worry that the pressure of trying to gain instant success may lead to the youth players being overlooked, the youth development system we have in place has been brilliant and utilised by Klopp to great effect, my question is will the youth team coaches remain in place or are these also on their way out with Klopp at the end of the season and is Amorim utilising the youth players at sporting?
{Ed001's Note - they are staying.}
1.) 01 Apr 2024 09:58:30
From what I have read is amorim has used youth players because some of his more established players get sold after having a good season.
2.) 01 Apr 2024 10:16:52
Has to be part of the new manager recruitment process surely.
Klopp and team have created a good set up. Chelsea - for example- have shown that throwing money at superstars is not the recipe to success.
I do not believe FSG have a desire to increase debt.
We need to keep producing players for the squad through youth development. Whether they are first team regulars or superstars or fringe players we need to still produce them.
3.) 01 Apr 2024 10:25:21
Spot on, @gmil. I watched a podcast where they were talking about Amorim and how he came up the coaching ranks in Portugal and how he has improved Sporting with a Portuguese La Liga specialist and he said that players like Joao Palinha, Matheus Nunes, Rafa Leao, Diomande, and so on, all came came up under his tutelage after they came up thru the Sporting Academy and how most have been sold for massive fees. Working with and improving young players to perform at the highest level is one of Amorim's biggest strengths, aparently.
4.) 01 Apr 2024 10:43:24
The Europa league this season has been a godsend for allowing squad rotation and the opportunity to blood youngsters.
CL next season with a new manager will likely see less rotation but the youngsters who have stepped up this season should be very much part of the squad and aiming to impress the new man to be starting these big games.
01 Apr 2024 08:47:33
Any idea of potential return dates for Trent . Jota and Curtis, and more worryingly Bajcetic who looked to have such a bright future but with so many injuries and time missed at such a young age, he was obviously well thought of by klopp i hope he can get fit and stay fit soon so he doesn’t potentially get overlooked by the new manager.
1.) 01 Apr 2024 10:34:38
According to klopp yesterday Curtis should be fit for Thursday.
Listening to trent himself yesterday he talked about couple of weeks away yet, i had thought he be available end of week against utd According to reports.
2.) 01 Apr 2024 10:53:17
It’s unfortunate how injury prone Curtis and Diogo are.
Both been great this season when fit. Konate too. Just can’t seem to ever stay fit.
3.) 01 Apr 2024 11:31:00
Yeah the injuries all 3 of them players sustain probably stops them from going to the very top.
All 3 excellent players imo but the constant stopping and starting is a killer for there development.
4.) 01 Apr 2024 12:45:56
To be fair, jota was unlucky with this injury.
5.) 01 Apr 2024 13:22:23
Curtis was unlucky too. But they should be back for the run in.
6.) 01 Apr 2024 18:26:51
Both players got unlucky, indeed.
7.) 01 Apr 2024 19:36:18
Jota actually improves the atmosphere within the stadium just because of his song. Bobbys song was another that was an absolute fan favourite and just seems to lift the crowd.
12 Jan 2024 19:21:29
I think we will see at least one surprise signing this window regardless of what pep says.
1.) 12 Jan 2024 19:29:11
You'd be naive.
2.) 12 Jan 2024 19:48:36
What naive thinking that we might bring I a surprise signing in January like one of these that dropped on without anybody have the slightest idea Diaz gapko coutinho vvd saurez sturridge carol, that type of naive?
3.) 12 Jan 2024 21:14:22
We needed players when we signed those guys.
4.) 12 Jan 2024 21:36:53
I won’t believe any stranger rumour until our very own guru speaks.
Last Jan was “fans will be crying when the transfer window closes and we haven’t signed anyone”. 2 days later Gakpo signs.
Then in the summer it was “people need to wake up from their heads in their porridge if they think we’re going to replace the whole starting midfield”
4 weeks later we replaced the starting midfield.
Clearly he or she’s in the know and likes to tease us.
5.) 13 Jan 2024 08:12:37
JK23 - I’m with you on the crying part, some of our “ so called fans “ during the transfer windows are embarrassing.
Re Gapko, one of the Ed’s mentioned that Klopp had been tracking him along with Diaz. We opted for Diaz first and when Gapko became available, we swooped in Jan rather than wait until the summer. He’d had a good World Cup so would have received a lot of interest in the summer.
6.) 13 Jan 2024 08:44:00
Exactly JK. It’s certainly not naive to think there may be a signing this month. Personally I don’t think there will be, as I do every January and end up pleasantly surprised. You just never know.
7.) 13 Jan 2024 09:03:38
I'm surprised by your comment L5. Particularly as you are a rumours guy. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you were going for humour and hit send too early.
I think it's highly unlikely we see a signing. It would have to be a top target and I doubt they are available. We are just not in a position where we should overpay for secondary targets mid season.
But hardly naive to think it might happen. Who knows what's cooking in the background.
8.) 13 Jan 2024 10:06:04
L5, what's naive about thinking there could be a surprise signing when there is already empirical evidence over the years to support such a notion? In fact, it is you who is being naive, based on the evidence. Strange and really dismissive comment, really.
9.) 13 Jan 2024 10:08:14
Still think the big difference this window is that we’re not really in a position where we have gaps that need desperate attention. Like even with Mo. if we knew he was off in the coming summer and then a target became available now then I could see it. But yeah not seeing the same need this window.
10.) 13 Jan 2024 11:11:31
My reply wasn't Inteded with venom, apologies on my behalf.
11.) 13 Jan 2024 13:45:57
Reading my reply again, I sounded like a right b*****, not my intention, I simply mean Liverpool don't work like that, they don't keep transfers a secret and then surprise everyone, they simply work on players they like every day, they're constantly looking at the market, and if a player they like becomes available, at the right price, they will go for it, none of the players they are looking at are available in January, so I'd quite simply say I'm 99.9% sure there won't be any made this window.
12.) 13 Jan 2024 14:44:54
I would expect us to act in January if and only if we are (a) confident about needing to replace someone in the summer, and (b) have a target player available at a reasonable price, and maybe (c) if someone is also interested in this player.
To be honest - with the quality of some of the youngsters being blooded in and the potential of the likes of Beck, Quansah and Bradley - I am almost hoping we don’t buy someone to block their progress. Only area where we don’t have good backup is right wing - but again we have Doak and the other kid whose name is missing me right now.
13.) 13 Jan 2024 16:26:32
No sweat, L5. We can all be guilty of this. I know I am so no harm, no foul. For me, we're good.
14.) 14 Jan 2024 08:21:59
Just out of curiosity L5, you mention we don’t do anything in secret and none of our targets are available! apart from mac and vvd I can’t think of a single player recently that didn’t fly in under the radar, so who do you think our main transfer targets are?
15.) 14 Jan 2024 22:33:04
All I'm saying is they have been very clear they don't intend to bring anyone in this window, and they usually don't in January with a few exceptions when timing and opportunity was right, I have no idea on finalised targets but I do know that they have been looking at options in the defensive areas of the team, a center back and midfielder are the top of the list, their main priority in attack is to offer salah another contract extension and players are being looked at in case that doesn't happen.
30 Nov 2023 16:37:44
Any news on potential return dates of Conner Bradley and bajcetic.
1.) 30 Nov 2023 18:51:49
Looks like Bradley is on the bench tonight.
2.) 30 Nov 2023 18:52:12
Cancel last, Bradley named on bench, great stuff big hopes for that kid, hopefully he can kick on and make the right back position his own while moving Trent into midfield.
3.) 01 Dec 2023 09:53:50
Bradley actually played last night so that's definitely progress.
4.) 01 Dec 2023 18:34:27
What is not so good is that Alisson is due back by mid December and Jota only by the end of the month. Thiago by end January (has he had body parts replaced or what is going on exactly? ) .
01 Apr 2024 15:38:01
Acered, I very optimistically thought exactly the same way when the announcement that Klopp was leaving was made but the longer it goes on I think we are far from anything being set in stone.

But thanks for the response Ed.
{Ed002's Note - He is talks with another club.}
30 Mar 2024 07:13:22
Langland, I’d give O’Neil a chance.
21 Dec 2023 16:39:37
I pray it doesn’t because I for one want absolutely no part of it.
11 Apr 2024 08:40:37
Baj is far from breaking back into the first team he’s played barley a handful of games two whole seasons, at this stage he cannot be relied on.
14 Mar 2024 12:43:59
Hi current contract is up to 2026.
26 Jan 2024 11:16:59
Yes I pray it’s Alonso.
14 Jan 2024 08:21:59
