Ed002 you are spot on as usual, being reported that xabi will be staying at leverkusen like you’ve said. Do you think Amorim is the most likely now?

{Ed002's Note - I expect he will now be first choice.}

Ed2 you have been confidently relaying this message to us all along so not surprised in the least, but just curious what occurred over the last few hours that has led the media to form this opinion all of a sudden? The Bayern president has said something but that’s his view of the what could transpire in relation to Bayern. Does that same sentiment apply in relation to Liverpool too or there is still a chance for Liverpool regardless of where Bayern stand in this?

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of anything specific but the reality of being 10 points clear of Bayern with I think only eight games to go has resulted in Bayern accepting they will need to look elsewhere to replace Tuchel. Liverpool have perhaps now grasped that same thought process and will concentrate their efforts on others.}

Ed, would Liv be willing to pay for his termination clause? Or would Sporting be willing to negotiate his termination clause? I assume negotiation with Sporting is out of the way for Liv.

{Ed002's Note - If Liverpool wish to sign him they will need to pay the termination clauses of him and his staff in full and in a single payment - they know that - and it will be the case for any manager/coach who is currently employed. Nagelsmann would not require any termination clause to be paid.}

We only want people at this football club who want to be here.

Such a shame that we have burnt our bridges so much with Sporting that there is not even the prospect of getting around the table. If Amorim is to be the manager though hopefully we can convince Inacio to come as well if we pay that buy out clause.

Eds - it seems like Amorim does have a lot of interest round him, do you think he will be a good fit for the club in terms of personality and style of play? Having watched Sporting last season in the Europa League campaign seems as though they were very attack based but really not massively clued up on him,

{Ed002's Note - I don't know anything aboiut his personality but the style of play would cause a change with playing three centre backs, four in midfield then two and one. He has done well but at one of the leading clubs in a league which is not as competitive.}

I could see 3-4-2-1 working quite well with our existing personnel. Darwin up front, Trent becoming a genuine midfielder with less risk of a Vinicius situation developing.

I would love to see us play an attacking back 3.

So something like:

Ali
Gomez/ Quansah Konate VVD
Bradly Trent Endo Robbo
Szobo Maca
Darwin

That could work. I think it would make things quite tricky for Diaz as he's a proper winger.

Amorin is a tricky one. Has good brand of football but seems too inexperienced for such a big challenge.
