It’s simple, he is without doubt the best manager on the planet, now others will say Pep G for what he has won over the years with the clubs he has managed/managing, but for me as good as Pep obviously is, he is a cheque book manager, same with Maureen, they rely on their clubs cheque book to buy/sustain successes wherever they have managed,
With City in particular he has to date reached the £1bn mark, that’s One Billion pounds, that’s a sick amount of money, and he’s far from finished either, contrast this to what Jürgen has been allowed to spend and it’s less than half of that at approximately £480m over a 6 year period, chicken feed in comparison, but with that colossal amount of money we have won the EPL, a UEFA Champions League, club World Cup and a European super cup, and we aren’t finished either, but the difference is tantamount, when you consider the financial clout of both clubs owners,
Jürgen can’t rely on owners cheque book because even if those funds were freely available as they are at the Emptihad, Jürgen prefers to build sides and the successes that come with it, and that for me and for most is far more rewarding than chucking money hand over fist buying your successes,
But more importantly is the fact that he is totally engrossed in Liverpool, the club itself the community, we the fans, everybody associated with our club, from tea ladies to boardroom, everyone is treated exactly the same, and everyone is as important as the next person, there are no ego’s, there are no big I am’s, and everybody sings from the same song sheet, he is a incredible human being and he gets us totally and unconditionally,
And this is why he will win us another league title, this why he will take us to yet further Champions League glory, on paper and pundits opinions it will look like Pep G, but give Jürgen enough time that will all change, I honestly believe Jürgen WILL extend his time with us, he has built his best side ever, and I can’t see him giving it all up before he is completely and utterly satisfied.
I think it’s hard to discount the similarities between Shankly and Jürgen, both have/ are building foundations for future successes, Shanks for whatever reason decided not to see it through and handed over the reigns to Sir Bob, we have our own Pep who for me is as a equally good & loyal lieutenant as Bob was to Shanks, and capable of taking us forward if required, but unlike Shanks I don’t think Jürgen will fall on his sword as readily as Shanks did, and if you read about it you’ll learn that Shanks regretted his decision after a few weeks. It won’t happen with Jürgen ! !
