For discussion, who would people prefer to be our next manager next season?
Seems to be out of
Alonso.
Hoeness.
Ariola.
For me Hoeness.
Also, who would people prefer as captain next season? Tougher question for me as hard to decide with a lot of the old guard leaving.
Szoboszlai.
Robertson if there, but wouldn’t play as much.
Allison, never been a fan of a keeper being captain and has more injuries lately.

Manager: Alonso (although his style won't be too dissimilar to Slots)
Captain: Ehhh VVD? Where's he going?
05 Apr 2026 12:53:46
Iraola.

Alonso is the least experienced of the 3. I'll support him, but there's plenty better out there, I believe.

Re Xabi - He is the only coach, bar Klopp with Dortmund, to break Bayern's dominance of the Bundesliga in the last 15 years, along with picking up multiple trophies.
He's worked under Rafa, Mourinho, Guardiola and Ancelotti.
Why are we saying he's inexperienced?
05 Apr 2026 13:38:06
Iraola for me. I think he's done wonders with Bournemouth after they sold half of their first team.
I'd stick with VVD until he leaves end of next season, and then I'd go for Dom.

Slot doesn't have a style. So, I'm guessing Alonso doesn't either.
05 Apr 2026 13:40:01
I'm just done. I want the season to end.
In an ideal world, we sack Edwards, Hughes and Slot. Jurgen steps back in for another 15 years without Pep Lijnders, and we go back to Heavy metal Fist pumping all out War.
Second best scenario, they all leave, and we have an overhaul anyway.
And if not, then the FSG pitchforks will, and should, be back out.
It's got to the point now where nobody cares, and our best player this season is seemingly blaming the fans. They all can go for me. Every single one of them.

Enrique.

Alonso, hands down, his achievements are by far the most impressive. Hoeness is the clear 2nd choice. Iraola if needs be.
Dom for captain with the current squad, he's the only one out there playing like one, but I fear he doesn't have the fire we need.
A Souness/Keane type figure could take this team to the next level, trying to find one these days is no mean feat.
funky061, VVD clearly isn't up to the task.
Incredible Bulk, less than zero chance of getting Enrique mate.

Manager = Iraola - the most similar to Klopp, in my opinion. His Bournemouth team press like Klopp's. They are one of the teams which do the most running in Europe since Klopp.
New player to be captain, someone with high standards in fitness and professionalism. If Newcastle are in the mood to sell, forget Gordon and go and get Bruno.

In fantasy football world, what Liverpoolfc8 said,
Klopp for 15 years, with no Ljinders and all out heavy metal fist pumping war, couldn't have put it better myself.

Alonso for me. Excelled at Bayer, held his head high at Madrid. Just feels like the right fit at Liverpool, and if his reputation for driving the RM players hard at training is correct, he could be the antidote to our current lethargy on the pitch.
