CR3 12,707 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Hypothetical. BUT, when you think about it Klopp has won the Champions League, Super Cup, Club World Cup and Premiership already with Liverpool now who are regressing a bit with injuries and form. Where else can he take that team, that are now in a fight for Top 4? I know Gerrard is on the brink of winning the league title, still in other competitions and about to do something very special with us. For talking sake and debate: do you think Stevie would walk out to grab the Liverpool position IF it was his only chance to become their next manager as bad as the timing was either: 1) if Klopp left anytime before the end of the season. 2) The end of the season Having not had a crack at the Champions League with us, it would be gutting not to see that or even bear thinking about but I'd have to say that for him it's probably a job he couldn't turn down. Scary thought for what he has built for us over the years that we would maybe have to replace him if he was made that offer, that he couldn't refuse. We were probably expecting this to happen around the contractual ends of both managers in 2024 but I'm doubting Klopp will see it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 74,199 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Don’t see why Liverpool would go for Gerrard at this moment in time if Klopp did leave. They could have any manager in the world at the moment tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brackley Bluenose 4,479 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I think that’s a long way off but in answer to your question I don’t see him going anywhere else but to Liverpool. Too early for him yet though, id have thought they’d want him to experience management in the champions league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights 2,526 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Yeah. I’d imagine so. Don’t think there are many jobs he’d leave us for but Liverpool is the job he’s wanted since he got into coaching Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,583 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 If they actively seeked him out yes. If the manager’s job is up for grabs I don’t believe he’d throw his hat in the ring just yet. At this moment I think Liverpool expect more success. He’d be mental to go just now and basically expect to build a brand new forward line considering the age of the front 3. He’ll probably give it another 2-3 years before he considers it and hopefully in that time he’s won multiple trophies here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,815 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Probably sooner than he would want, but if they came calling I don't think he could or would turn them down. He'll leave a hero on my eyes whenever he does go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDB14 2,766 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 With blue tinted glasses I'd like to think he would stay but the reality is whenever Liverpool come calling he will be off. And with all our best wishes. So let's just enjoy this whilst it lasts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brackley Bluenose 4,479 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Btw this hadn’t even been on my radar and it’s really got me thinking now. If their poor form continues and Klopp was to go, surely Gerrard would actually be their number one choice? All seems too early though, I think he’s got at least a season or two left with us before he goes there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluedoo 2,652 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Not now because I think the prospect of taking us into The Champions League would lead him to stay but the problem we will have is if Klopp doesn't pull them back to the level they were at and Gerrard does well in C L they could come knocking 🤔 so not for a year at least 👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,957 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 The answer is - in a heartbeat. But I don't think they will come calling yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 If he leaves with the title in his back pocket, then so be it. Think we would all have wanted that at the start of his reign, struggled to see it at times. Clearly, he is the best manager out of his generation of England players - smart move coming up here compared to Lampard and Rooney. However, Klopp is ingrained within the Liverpool fans - and will probably stick around to see them back at Anfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
superallysbears 7,663 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Obviously he'd go if he's asked, he's basically done the job he signed up for with us, restoring us as the top side in the country, what else can he achieve, might have done better in the cups but he's basically achieved his remit, IL always appreciate Stevie Gerrard for what he's done for us and if he goes at the end of the season to Liverpool then fair doo's.

JWAC 2,246 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 No offence to the op but i see this stuff posted everytime liverpool have a bad result. He's got plenty credit left in the bank at liverpool and would take a huge collapse for him to get sacked or leave. Gerrard isn't ready yet either and said himself he's not planning on going anywhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMRFC 4,786 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Klopp isn’t going to get sacked, and I don’t see him leaving Liverpool on such a low, he’s gonna be there until at least the end of next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueVanguard 6,708 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 If Gerrard left us to go to Liverpool there would be no complaints within our support unlike the beasts from the east when Rodgers got a dream move down the EPL and they wanted him to die in his sleep etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Will Follow Rangers 12,946 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I think he's smart and honest enough to know its too soon, he'll have been looking at his mate Lampard and seen whats occurred in a similar scenario. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You suggested him taking us into the CL could play a big part in a decision to stay here. Liverpool are in a CL spot at present and the OP is asking if we think he'd leave for Liverpool.

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 It's too soon for him and I think he would be reluctant just now anyway after seeing how things went for Lampard at Chelsea. I reckon he's with us for at least another 2/3 seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brackley Bluenose 4,479 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Those saying it’s too soon for him.... if he gets asked, he’s taking it all day long! He’s never turning around to Liverpool and saying “I’ll take it but it’ll need to be in a year or two! Thanks very much for calling anyway!” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDB14 2,766 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I don't think the Lampard thing would bother him much as he said he wasn't surprised as it's what Chelsea do. I can actually envisage Stevie going down to Liverpool and when it inevitably goes tits up at some stage ending up back at Rangers for a second spell.

Yes but there is a chance that they may fail to qualify this year and we go straight in, if he has a good run then Liverpool could come knocking am just playing hypatheticals like the op Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
