It is that black and white for me - when Klopp does leave then i would want a proven manager at the highest level to come in
We did use to promote from within but the game has moved on a lot since then
Define highest level, for me we already have the highest level, so who is better than Jürgen, Pep G ? These two are the highest in European if not the world, up there would be Zidane but not so recently, Simeone the same ,
Flick at Bayern M would be a able candidate but would he leave Munich for Liverpool, can’t see it myself,
Anyone else for me would be a level down, unless of course the likes of a Nagelsman proves his worth between now and Jürgen hanging up his snood, and this where I think our own Pep Ljinders has a more than decent shout, no one knew for sure that Bob Paisley would have the success he did, forget the, oh that was the old days, we’ve moved on now, no sorry don’t buy that at all, who else knows more about our players than our No2 ?
Jürgen himself would admit that a lot of impetus comes from those he considers his most trusted lieutenants, Pep & Pete, along with all the others on his staff, they themselves are a team looking after the team,
I’m not saying Pep Ljinders should be our next boss, however his knowledge, his expertise & his coaching abilities should not be ignored for someone else who would have to learn all that Pep knows already, and perhaps have to reinvent the wheel ?
