Klopp contract extension confirmed

Was meant to run out in 2024, extended to 2026. It sounds like he's going to get greater financial backing and there's an option to extend.
Its not just the future financial backing. Liverpool are a well oiled machine that are consistently moving forward. They are already replacing their star front 3 with Jota, Diaz, and probably Nunez or someone else. The midfield is solid along with the back line and the U-23s are probably going to provide some talent as well. Liverpool are a machine that need someone who can run it and Klopp is the guy right now. Liverpool will back him until he stops producing results and I don't see that happening for a while

I think it'll be Nkunku, personally. Current rumours suggest that Tchouameni is coming in in the summer, too. If they can manage those two, get Salah locked down, and get the right-back equivalent of Tsimikas then I don't think even City (even with Haaland) can stop them.

For the future, I'm hoping they don't replace Klopp with Gerrard, the best thing they could do is promote Pep Ljinders to the helm and keep the momentum. Given that Milner is coming to the end of his career it'd probably be a good idea (if he wants to go into coaching) to retain him as a player/coach.

Tchouameni and Nkunku in that midfield along with Thiago and Fabinho would be just too good. I wouldn't count City out but I think Liverpool would have a bigger edge on City if they add them to the roster.

As far as Gerrard, I don't think he will be used as the Klopp replacement right away. I think he still needs to develop into a manager with his own style right now. Rangers isn't a great place to develop yourself into a manager with a set style but Villa will probably help with that. With Milner, I could easily see Klopp doing what he did with Gerrard and giving him the 18s. There was an interview that Gary Neville did with Gerrard that kind of highlighted how he became an actual decent manager that could take on the jobs he has and I think Milner has that option if he wants it. Honestly don't know who they would get after Klopp but they have 4 more years to worry about that

Double post but this goes back to the Neymar rumor. Poch claims both he and Mbappe are going to stay at PSG next year. If that is actually true, then the Neymar rumor actually seems more legit


Edit: FFS news just keeps dropping

Ralf Rangnick will continue to advice Manchester United while being the Austrian national team coach. What a giant blow to United as a club
 
Why? Was he ever meant to have more than an advisory role?
He was meant to have an advisory role. Be someone dedicated to helping the entire club turn around. Now he just shows up on the weekend and collects a pay check while coaching Austria


:story: Mbappe wtf are you thinking nigga? Get out of there while you're still young.
More rumors. The rumor mill has begun
 
TBF international coaching is hardly a full time thing, outside of international breaks the most he'll be doing is scouting, and he'll have scouts for that anyway. So he can still advise United on how they need to get rid of everyone

There is a reason that no other national team coach does anything other than coach the national team. It requires a lot of behind the doors work. Being weighed down by having to get Austria to qualify for the Euros with some aging players needing to be replaced. Its not an easy job but trying to fully run a mid level European country into a major tournament while trying to turn around United isn't going to work
 
Liverpool continue to try as much as they can to get that title eh. Doubt Leeds United will be the one to slow down Man City. But I'd certainly welcome it!
 
Well, Mino Raiola is really dead this time. Rip.

There's a joke about him rinsing the devil in this but I'm too busy watching a video to make it myself.
 
Burnley scored all three today in the Watford clash, putting them at 34 points and with a better GD than Leeds. Because of that, Leeds are now dragged back into the bottom scrap if they fail to get a result from City of all teams. Because the only remaining fixtures they have are Arsenal, Chelsea, Brighton and Brentford. Oft.

Everton's survival chances are re-opened.

Leeds were never going to get points until Brenton and Brighton. But even with those points, it should put them over the edge. Unless Everton play like its 2010 again, they won't be picking up many points
 
So r8 me l8, m8, but Oldham is now officially buggered, and has completed its loltastic meltdown in epic style, becoming the first former Premier League club to fall out of league football, and doing so behind closed doors due to fan chimpouts. Sad. AFC Wimbledon are also dropping for the first time in their history, and I'll be genuinely MATI if MK Dons get promoted the same year, because fuck Milton Keynes, an artificial city with an artificial club. Someone convince Putin that the top secret codebreakers are still there, so that he nukes it first.

Also, if Everton sinks the same year Liverpool wins the prem, that's a low blow.
