    Smart Move by Xabi Alonso: Staying to prove this is not just a one-off season like Leicester, Napoli or Montpellier. He knows enough opportunities will arise in the future with Liverpool, Bayern and Real Madrid. (Especially Bayern and Madrid who are tigger-happy with their managers due to the high expectations in their leagues).

    Not often I post this but I suspect Simon has it spot on in his assessment, I'd totally agree that Liverpool have know for some time that Xabi was going to remain at Leverkusen for the foreseeable future. By the way, I'm a Liverpool match going supporter and I can assure you that this won't come as a shock to anyone, most of us have suspected that for some time now. The only other thing I'd add to that is that Liverpool FC are handling this brilliantly and keeping everything 'in house' in my opinion, all the various links to Jurgens successor are 100% media driven. We have the right people in place to make the correct call on our next appointment and as supporters our focus is on what we still might achieve in what remains of Jurgen's tenure.

    This has nothing to do with following Klopp anyone saying this has no clue it's all about him wanting to stay and work at a club that gave him a chance. Leaving the players after so short of a time isn't that cool either. He wants more experience as well. Good choice by Alonso. Respect.

    One word - SMART. You don't just happen to play in legendary Madrid and Bayern teams and win trophies, while working under two of the best managers (Jose and Pep) by fluke. He has lived different cultures and speaks different languages. Alonso is intelligent, articulate, and knows EXACTLY what he's doing.
    He will manage in the Champions League next season, where no one is expecting Leverkeusen to pull up any trees. If they do well again in the Bundesliga, he'll get credit. But if they don't, it'll be attributed to their European exertions, players being bought by other clubs, etc. He will not be faulted and his reputation will remain intact. He will also be seen as someone that is loyal and does not abandon projects at the first sight of a better opportunity. That's a win-win-win scenario if I ever saw one.
    Contrast that with going to Pool, where Klopp's shadow looms large. Let someone else step in and fail there. Also, why go to Bayern, where it's a circus? Even adding the best striker and defender in Europe - Kane and Kim - they could not win anything. They have deep-rooted problems that need sorting out. Instead, Alonso can just stay put at Leverkeusen and bide his time until Ancelotti leaves Madrid in 2026, and then he can go take over Los Blancos where he will manage Vinicius, Bellingham, and M'Bappe - all potential Ballon D'or winners!
    PS: And there is also the small matter of this player called Endrick!

    I'm.a Liverpool fan of 35+ years. I believe, if true of reports, that Alonso has made the right decision. He's not experienced enough yet to take over from Klopp. If he can continue to make waves in Germany, then, maybe in 3-4 years time he could take over the Anfield dug out.
    I'd like to see Amorim from Portugal take over. Highly rated by Pep and has a track record of giving youth a chance.

    I agree with Simon. The club apparently knew in October that Klopp was leaving so I'm not sure that Xabi would've even been an option then. Would FSG look to appoint a relatively inexperienced manager again, following the Rogers experiment? No, they have learned that the most important thing is to get the structure in place first, and then go after their man. Edwards and Hughes now in place so I have no concerns about who we appoint as our next manager. Klopp has shown it isn't about the individual, it's about the collective and that's why we'll continue to be successful where others have failed.

    If Alonso hadn’t been a Liverpool player he would simply be a very promising manager who so far has an excellent record but hasn’t been tested long term or at Premiership level. He did well at Real Sociedad and has done extremely well at Leverkusen but a move to Liverpool would be a risk both for him and for the club. Who ever does come, there are no guarantees of success but it does make sense to pick someone with more experience. In my time supporting Liverpool the next manager will be my 14th. Klopp leaving is disappointing but it’s not the end of the world and it was inevitable at some point anyway.

He wants the Madrid job which he’ll need to wait another season for and he’ll probably be able to leverage the interest in him to get more money and a clause to leave for Madrid for free. You can’t fail at Madrid, they’ve got the best young talent in the world and they’ll give you plenty of money to spend. It’s every Spanish kids dream.

    The English media are so blinded by their own league. Alonso is a Spaniard and also a former Real Madrid player. Ancelotti is likely going to leave next summer so staying at Leverkusen makes sense for that. Bayern still in transition so should have every chance of winning the league again next season. If he went to Liverpool he’d likely not be available for the Real Madrid job and may well have a harder task of finding success with the powerhouse and money machine that is Man City to compete against.

    Liverpool and FC Bayern must prioritize other coaches in Europe instead of relying on Xabi Alonso. Much obsession there, but REAL MADRID is aware and would monitor the situation until summer of 2025.
    It is highly recommended and a MUST for Real Madrid management, board of directors, coaching staff, people working in their club who are involved on the transfer-market to permanently sell who are currently out on loan to play for another football club, do not offer a loan with buy back clause or with a number or percentage rights, recall or return players that are currently on-loan by another football club to play for Real Madrid, ageing ((28) years old and above), inconsistent (due to limited playing time, never have played and always on the bench, poor defensively, not performing well) regardless of age, injury prone, those who are not comfortable playing in different position, that MUST happen on or before July 2027. We are referring to Modric, Kroos, José Ignacio Fernández Iglesias "Nacho", José Luis Mato Sanmartín "Joselu", Vasquez, Daniel Carvajal Ramos "Dani Carvajal", Courtois, Alaba, Rudiger, Arrizabalaga, Mendy, Daniel Ceballos Fernández "Dani Ceballos" Jesús Vallejo Lázaro "Jesus Vallejo", Francisco José García Torres "Fran Garcia", Diaz, Juan Miguel Latasa Fernández "Juanmi Latasa", Reinier Jesus Carvalho "Reinier", Rafael Marín Zamora "Rafa Marin", Nicolás "Nico" Paz Martínez, & Guler.
    Once they get sold these are the players should be sign based on their positions on or before July 2027.
    Right Back: Jesus Fortea, Malo Gusto
    Left Back: Alphonso Davies, Miguel Gutierrez
    Centre Back: William Saliba, Leny Yoro, Dean Huijsen
    Main Striker: Kylian Mbappe
    Lastly Real Madrid must never offer a contract to these players for a RIGHT BACK position, that are inconsistent regardless of age, poor defensively, has disadvantage of height and strength (lacks muscles), proven already that unable to stop wingers/strikers in different leagues, injury-prone, has beyond 60 million euro's transfer-market value, and ageing 27 years old and above, and turning 27 years old and above on year 2027. We are referring to Walker (33), Trippier (33), Di Lorenzo (30), Cancelo (29), Dumfries (27), White (26), Mazraoui (26), Wan-Bissaka (26), Alexander-Arnold (25), Hakimi (25), Tomiyasu (25), Royal (25), Dalot (25), Porro (24), James (24), Frimpong (23), Livramento (21), Couto (21), Bradley (20), Sanchez (20) and Fresneda (19).
