decent list but mate it took a lot to continue after you mentioned Ten Hag ?.

It will be interesting to see what Liverpool do should player power wins out and Alonso gets the boot at Madrid. “IF” he was our top choice last time but lost out…. given our current struggles and if the club are considering relieving Slot of his duties but not fully committed to that strategy- if Alonso becomes available and would be interested in LFC job would that convince Hughes and Edwards and FSG to make the change.
Alonso is struggling with his high press and hard work rate demands in Madrid. Ancellotti warned him that would be the case and said that Madrid was the hardest dressing room he’d ever managed - for someone with that kind of experience is saying that then it was always going to struggle to win them over.

Thank you for the article. For me, I wouldn't be interested in Gerrard or Conte at all.
I would be interested to see what any of Alonso, Inzaghi, or Irraola could do. I find the Stuttgart Coach as an interesting option as well.
Thanks again!

AZ, believe me. I was as shaken as you when the AI spat out ETH as an option.
I don't think he's a terrible manager, but would not likely take the job on an interim basis and hasn't got what it takes for a long term appointment.

Appreciate the analysis, but there is no way Gerrard improves the dressing room.
Squad would think he’s just a passenger; no charisma. A sergeant major talking about a previous war.
Not a manager I particularly want, but I am amazed de Zerbi has so dropped off the radar. I think he ain’t right at all for the club, but I would expect him to be a front-runner, along with Ireola. But I would stick with Slot.

I was never much for Gerrard as interim but if Ange and Eric are the alternatives, he is looking a far more attractive option I must say.
I think there are more managers than we can think of to be honest but I personally quite like the idea of Klopp were he to be interested only in interim.
If Carra said that Inzaghi would be willing to take interim, that would be another choice I'd be very interested in.
Maybe interim does not appeal to both and that has to be accepted too. I just have a bad feeling Gerrard will end badly. Not sure he gives the lift people think he will. Maybe the fans for a tiny bit but not sure he has it to turn this ship.

For clarity, my comments are at the very end, the suggestions about managers are all from the AI so don't shoot the messenger ?.

I asked AI to come up with some names, Peter Boaz was the one it mentioned as the best pick. Some interesting names on the list, Zidane, Rykarrd, Xavi, Flick, Rafa, Blanc, Sousa, Setien, Valverde, Fabre, Tedesco and Martino. What do you think Ed’s, would you have anyone on that list as interim?
{Ed001's Note - which Sousa? Because Paulo Sousa manages my local club here, Shabab Al Ahli and is very reminiscent of Klopp, but it is a bit of a leap to put him in charge of us. He does play a high aggressive press and high intensity footie though and he has charisma too. Won 4 trophies last season as well.
Rijkaard is hopeless, lazy bugger who does little. I wouldn't touch Tedesco either, despite him graduating top of the class above Nagelsmann when getting coaching badges. Zidane plays terrible footie, no thank you.
Flick, Xavi, Setien and Martino are interesting suggestions that I would put as maybes.}

Have things got so bad that Ten Hag is even a remote consideration by AI?
Alonso would be my wish, and if that means Gerrard as interim until the summer then so be it. We would at least have some fight under Gerrard and that it what looks to be sorely lacking right now.

Quite frankly, defecating into your hands and clapping with your mouth wide open is a far more palatable option than Gerrard, ten Hag or Postecoglu managing us. All fail merchants and shouldn’t be remotely considered.

Monster: “Gerrard is so terrible, but hey where is De Zerbi” utter garbage you’re spouting.

VV Gerrard done terrible… he went unbeaten for a season at Rangers, no easy feat ina league dominated by Celtic.
