I'm surprised that people are questioning Klopp's candidacy. Here's a manager who has never had the largest budget in the Bundesliga but has over a number of seasons identified and developed talent into championship winning squads.

When last did Ancelloti manage a team that didn't have the biggest budget in their respective league?

Ed002 I've read the posts and cannot find why you believe Klopp isn't suited to Liverpool and who you believe would be a better alternative.

{Ed002's Note - Ancelotti would certainly be a better option.}

Ancelotti would be the safe option. Things under him would certainly improve and stabilise. Under klopp if it goes well we could be winning leagues and champions leagues but it could also not work out. Ancelotti will buy players to achieve success klopp will grow players for success. Both would be huge improvements on all the appointments since rafa

Ancelotti's won the Champions League three times and the domestic title in Italy, England and France. You need to be a very good manager to do that. Transfer budget and a "big club" reputation to buy players alone ain't doing it.

Let's not forget he promoted Reggiana, got Parma into the Champions League places, and Milan had dropped out of the CL and seemed to be on the downswing when he went in there. So it's not like he has no experience of improving "lesser" clubs or bringing clubs back to success. He also has experience in England that Klopp doesn't.

As far as I can tell, the closest thing to a failure in management he's had was at Juventus where they sacked him for finishing 2nd.

I'd be very happy with him.

I'd also be very happy with Klopp.

I agree with eds, I think at this moment in time I'd prefer the time and again proven class of Ancelotti. I wouldn't be unhappy with Klopp but Ancelotti is managerial royalty

I think Ancelotti's PL experience maybe more useful to LFC now than Klopp's skills IMO.

I err on the Carlo side, but would be really happy with Klopp. Just my preference.

Either will do just nice we are in this position. Can you even remember a time when two top current managers are both available for free so to speak. Although we never let Rodgers go in the summer I think it has played into our hands in terms of available options.

The squad is impressive enough for either of them to work with over coming months, and expect a keeper in January regardless of which one is manager.

To be honest I am surprised that so many people prefer Klopp to Ancelotti. Ancelotti has proven it in the Premier League! I like the way he goes about his business with minimal fuss. It was amazing at Real Madrid how he managed to fit all the best players into the same team. A job that Benitez is currently finding it hard to do. I suspect for one reason or another he has turned Liverpool down otherwise I think our board would have signed him. There is a strong argument to be made for Ancelotti being current "best manager in the world".

Klopp would be a better fit for us no doubt about that, also I don't think Ancelotti would get accepted with the Chelsea rivalry, a bit like Benitez at Chelsea.

I would love either, I think Ancelotti would bring success and stability a bit faster perhaps than Klopp, but for some reason, I don't see Carlo staying long term, maybe 2 or 3 years. While Carlo's stats as a manager and his trophy cabinet can't be overlooked, I feel Klopp will be a better fit for the club. How he had Dortmund playing was high pressing counter attack football, which is what made us such a force the season we finished 2nd, put it this way, Klopps style is much more closer to BR's style than BR's style to say Rafa's style for example. We would be getting rid of the apprentice and hiring the master. I think the owners will look to see what he has achieved at Dortmund, let's not forget, that Dortmund is also a very industrious city, with hard working people who love their football. I can see it being not too disimilar to Liverpool, i think the biggest factor though of all is that, he is a top class manager who if reports are to be be believed he wants to come here. I don't think Carlo wants the job as much, just my opinion. I would love either in charge, however i am slightly nervous until the appointment is made, i'd hate if we lost either at the 11th hour and get another up and comer. With all that said, i'd like to thank Brendan Rodgers for his service to the club. Love him or hate him, he had us playing the best football I've ever seen in my 20 years as a Liverpool fan and was the closest manager to win the league for us. I really wanted him to succeed with us, and was very lenient on his foolish decision making and poor transfers and wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt but he can't say he wasnt backed to the hilt, no Liverpool manager has ever spent as much money as he has so he can't complain much. i wish him all the best for the future & hope he can bounce back fast ad learn from his mistakes at Liverpool.

Ed002- I'm just wondering do you believe Carlo would be a better fit because of the structure of the club or 100% down to management ability? Plus do you believe Klopp is a good manager, I know he had a tough last season at Dortmund but before that he seemed to have done a great job and the players seem to really like him listening to them before the Champions league final

{Ed002's Note - Klopp is a fine manager but you need to look at the bigger picture of the remit, the ability to work within certain constraints etc.. He is clearly number one choice right now.}
