Talking to my friend from the USA, he thinks or has been told we are looking for an elite manager, in their 50s, excellent track record and previous trophies, able to handle dressing room of egos.
It is felt that the turmoil this season is partly down to a young (ISh) manager, unable to cope with the dressing room.
Names therefore in the frame are Conte & Klopp.
The appointment will definitely not be an young up and coming manager (No Hoeness, Gerrard etc).
He also expects Slot, Hughes & Edwards to depart in the summer as well.
I'm dubious but hey this is an rumours site.

Conte is as far from a Liverpool manager as you can get, and Klopp's Mrs won't let him back into the management game.

No ex Chelsea rubbish, thanks, particularly not Conte.

That's an opinion, not a rumour.
We want the best manager available, and there is no age on that. Conte is not good enough, Klopp aint coming back, and there is more chance of a Bob Hope resurrection than there is of Enrique coming.
From my sources, Hoeness is the current leading candidate for the role.

I see a change in the wind. The press and media are becoming more and more on board with Slot standing down. Long overdue. Fingers crossed...

I really don't understand why we haven't signed Alonso?
