    I totally respect Alonso’s decision to stay put and grow as a coach but for Balague to tell us that he will manage Lfc when he is ready is misguided and unrealistic. Football doesn’t work like that. He will manage whatever club is available for him when he decides the time has come. Unless Lfc are looking for a new manager then, he’s lost the opportunity to manage Lfc.

      @@MikeL-7 Experience. Alonso is a LFC fan, and it is a life time opportunity and he is not going to let that pass to manage Leverkusen, that he has no attachment to.
      Alonso is needless to say concerned about the squad being unsettled by speculation about both LFC and their direct competitor. They almost exited from EL due to it. So he settled the squad to get them over the line. He repeatedly used phrases like, "In this moment in time...", which is speak people either consciously or subconsciously use to have an out.
      If Alonso doesn't get them over the line, he will asked questions that he isn't asked now, and his value/attraction would decrease.
      So in other words, he is doing his best to get everyone focused on the tasks at hand. In the summer when very real offers are on the table, these things naturally change. He is a natural fit for LFC, and they him. So Edwards will get him on board as we hit summer, and everyone with experience will not be surprised one bit by this "180" turn.

    Ballague says "when (Alonso) comes to Liverpool, which will happen"...I'm sorry, the world doesn’t work like that. If LFC need him now and he declines, LFC would naturally move on and hopefully whoever comes in now becomes successful in the present and future, so Alonso would be out of the equation at any point in time. When LFC calls you, you answer, you don’t decline and think you can waltz in whenever you feel "ready".

      This is what I can’t understand why Liverpool didn’t have any targets lined up for when Klopp also wqs meant to leave in 2026 like Ancelotti. If Liverpool had targets lined up they could have talked to them and just brought them in earlier. But looks like we weren’t prepared and just living in the moment with Klopp. This whole situation we are in is because the club did not have post-Klopp plans in place. It’s all damage control now. We shouldn’t blame Alonso or Klopp’s but understandably we were all just in love with Jurgen living in the moment not thinking long term.

Not to mention we may not want him in a given situation in the future or that he will be Real manager for years to come, then he goes elswhere (potentionally Bayern) and we may never have the oportunity to hire him.

    I wasn't surprised when Xabi decided to stay with Leverkusen. When he played for Liverpool, the vibe I got from him that he was the sort of man who honours contracts and commits himself to whatever project he has in front of him until it comes to a logical conclusion. He came to Liverpool with Rafa Benitez with the aim of winning the Champions League; he did that and when that was achieved, he moved on. He's on a contract at Leverkusen and he is building a very special squad there, who are on the verge of winning their first Bundesliga title in their history and I feel he wants to lead Leverkusen into their Champions League campaign next season, so I really think the Liverpool job vacancy came up too soon for him. Nobody on the face of this planet expected Klopp to make the decision to leave Anfield for pastures new at the end of this season, especially since he still had 18 months to two years remaining on his current contract. I doubt if Xabi knew the job was going to be up for grabs.
    Will he ever be Liverpool manager? Well, I would say he would have had a better chance than Stevie G has. Gerrard's managerial career hasn't exactly been worthy of critical acclaim, has it! Yes, he won a league title as manager of Glasgow Rangers, but managing a big fish club in a league where the only serious competition is their Glasgow rivals, Celtic, doesn't cut it in the real world, as we saw when he flopped as manager at Villa Park. Stevie G was a great footballer for Liverpool, but not all great players make great managers. However, I reckon I can see Xabi Alonso taking over at the Bernabéu when Ancelotti decides to move on. I think the chance to work with the sort of squad that Real Madrid are building will be too much of an opportunity for him to turn down, being a former Real Madrid player. Who wouldn't want to work with the likes of Mbappé, Camavinga, Vinicius Junior and the rest of them? (And no, I am NOT a Real Madrid fan, when I say that!)
    I'd love to be proved wrong, but realistically, it's not very likely to happen now. The Liverpool job doesn't come up for grabs very often and the club is well known to be the sort of club who don't go give second chances to those who turn them down. So Xabi has most likely lost his one and only chance to be Liverpool manager.

    In all honesty, it appears unlikely that he will assume the managerial position at Liverpool in the foreseeable future. It is anticipated that Bayern will secure the Bundesliga title in the upcoming season, maintaining the status quo. Given his decision not to accept the position at this juncture, particularly in light of Klopp's departure, the probability of him ever managing the club seems remote. While it is true that circumstances can change, and paths may intersect in unexpected ways, it is essential to acknowledge the reality of the situation. He has made his choice, and it is highly improbable that he will reverse it.

      We’re really going to criticise him for wanting to gain the experience to be able to take on the Liverpool job properly, rather than just take it, like a child who want sweets for dinner? It’s a job, not a marriage proposal, and we don’t know if their was even an offer to turn down.

    • @melv5816
      @melv5816 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​​​@@Dude0000You are taking this comment all wrong. OP is not criticizing or dismissing Xabi Alonso for not taking the Liverpool job because we are hurt about it (though I'm sure some are). It's more about the timing really. Usually FSG sign our managers with 2 to 3 years contracts and then give them 2 to 3 years contract extensions if they continue to do well. It will be no different for our next manager. If he does well, he may be at Liverpool for 3+ years, and by then, Xabi would be ready to or already have moved on from Leverkusen. If Xabi develops into a world class manager, he won't wait around for the Liverpool job to open up. That would be madness. Liverpool is a uniquely tough job as our managers are required to be more than just a football manager but a influential figure in the city. By the time the Liverpool job is available again, will he have the energy and youth to take it on?
      Also, it's understandable that Liverpool fans are sad and hurt that Xabi rejected to manage our club...are we not allowed to feel let down??? I know some fans are too sensitive about it, but the majority, although gutted, are not. Most of us respect his decision and wish him the best. We just don't have time to dwell and wallow in self-pity just because he said no. We are still in a title race, the Europa quarter finals, still trying to come to terms with our beloved manager leaving, and now worried about the potential new manager we may sign. We don't really have room to give this anymore. It's done and dusted, and we move on.

      @@melv5816 I’ll keep this short, cos I have to go to work soon. So it’s an inferiority complex about if Xabi becomes ‘world class’ that eliminates us from his considerations? I totally disagree. This is where City are actually a good thing, they’ve raised English football, especially the top 3, up to the best in the world. In fact those three, with RM, are the top 4 teams, by a distance, in the world right now, and I only see Bayern keeping in touch with them in the short term.
      I have to see it as it is, and recognize they’re doing what we did in the mid 70’s to mid 80’s for English football by dominating Europe, forcing other English clubs levels up, then they won to (Forest twice, Villa, Ipswich and Spurs in the UEFA etc).
      As for being hurt for his rejection, I have seen nothing to even suggest anything was offered, nevermind (not Neverkusen thanks to Xabi, lol) turned anything down. And he’s 42 (?), managed 50-70 matches at the top level. Do you not think that it shows humility and foresight to turn down one of the best young squads in world football, because he recognises that he doesn’t yet have the skill set and experience to take it on and do the best job he is capable of doing? Respect, too, no?
      Red men Tv which I hardly watch, and was their 2nd channel, had a guy on who said the same, his respect for him went up, but everyone else are ignoring him, at best. Give the guy a chance, judge him in 3, 5, 10 years. Is that not more reasonable? I know it’s football and an outlet for our emotions, so no emotion is wrong, but what has he done, really, to elicit all this negativity? It’s the media who crowned him Klopp’s heir from day one and built all our hopes up, including mine.
      I was only Alonso all along. I was stunned, and a bit shaken at first. But then I slept on it, and came to the above conclusion. He knows what he’s doing, he loves Liverpool, as he does, RM and Bayern, Sociedad obviously, and now Leverkusen. Who can blame him? Just at Leverkusen he’s lifting the equivalent of the ‘Spursy’ curse, the Neverkusen tag, as they’ve never won the Bundesliga, and the German cup since the early 90’s.
      The guys human, after all, who has gone through more in football, than Istanbul, and we need to recognise that, don’t we? Or no?

    Tbh, I doubt that he will, certainly not within the next 5 years. LFC don't fire managers when things go wrong, they understand things take time to truly blossom. Worst case scenario is that Ruben is shite and lasts 2 seasons. By that time Alonso is probably at Madrid. If Ruben ends up working well, then I for see at least a 3 year deal with renewal past 5. I think if Alonso skips on LFC (which its looks like he has), its very unlikely that the door is open within the next 5 years for him. Madrid has had 18 managers in the last 24 years. LFC have had 6. Madrid will always be there, LFC won't. Also, Madrid will very likely discard you if you aren't winning the league every season (expectation there is horrific and bordering entitlement), whereas LFC will give you time.
    Sure coming after Klopp is a big job, but the LFC fanbase are the best in the world when it comes to sticking with a manager and being patient and I'm not even a LFC fan, you get time to really develop your craft at the highest level with a club you know and a club that will give you that chance and time to work. Madrid won't give you any of that, and with the money they are spending on new players, they will be expecting a CL every year.

      Liverpool fans really do stick and back their managers. When we don't, then we have good reasons as to why not. Usually we end up being right i.e. Roy Hodgson and Brendan Rodgers.
      I also think Alonso managing Liverpool may not ever happen now. Whoever we get as manager after this season will at least be here for the next few years unless they royally screw it up. I don't think that will happen though. By then, Alonso would've probably already moved on from Leverkusen. And if our next manager, does very well, he'll probably stay for 5+ years. Xabi will DEFINITELY be gone from Leverkusen.
      😮‍💨 Though I'm sad about it, I actually respect him for staying with Leverkusen. It must have been a somewhat hard decision to make to deny a club he clearly still loves. Oh well...no matter what Liverpool moves on.

      The problem is that there are no available managers who fit the profile we would want, ie isn't a flaming arsehole, plays good attacking football, won one or more titles in a top European league without being at the highest spending club and went far in the CL. There is literally no one who fits that bill available, every candidate has one or more black marks against them, whether it is experience or something else.

    Managers don't last long at clubs unless they're elite like Klopp so by the law of averages Alonso probably will end up here one day. He'll need to be close to perfect beforehand though, if he's another Gerrard then no chance.

    I think if Alonso has been offered the Liverpool job he is extremely fortunate, I loved him as a player and wore the number 14 shirt in my Sunday league team, he’s been amazing at Leverkusen and can’t take that away. If he has turned down the job as being reported, I don’t think he would ever be offered the chance to do it again. If Liverpool win the league this season, as a lifelong red I want to see Steven Gerrard given a chance to prove himself. I know many disagree and say negative things about stevies time at villa, but he is Liverpool and he’s our best ever player.. I would take a chance on him and I’m certain Liverpool fans would all get firmly behind him, rival fans would hate on him but real reds would be over the moon for him. We need someone who understands the club and who better than our captain and leader Stevie G.

    the obvious decision is to ask pep lijnders to act as caretaker manager for 1 season, failing that hire someone else who has the club in their heart as the interim coach such as gerrard (stevie can't do that much damage in 1 season realistically, worst case would be that we finish 6th or so) AND THEN have xabi sign an agreement to join us at the end of next season. make no mistake about it, xabi is the next great coach and to let him slip through our fingers without exhausting all options is the biggest mistake we will ever make in the modern era. you can say he has no big club experience yet but what he has done at leverkusen is no small feat. he has MADE them a big club. mourinho had no big club experience when he joined chelsea in 04 but look what he did with porto and what he went on to achieve. if we want to build on klopp's success we need xabi. if we want to go back to settling for 3rd/4th place each season then yeah hire de zerbi or whoever

    Liverpool's connection to Xabi has been in my opinion, over-hyped. Yes, he spent 5 years with us, but he also spent 5 years at Madrid and considerable time at Bayern. Bare in mind he was also treated a bit poorly by Rafa at the end when we tried to sell him for Gareth Barry of all people. There's plenty of interviews where he talks about himself as a "Madrista". I always thought it very arrogant of us to assume we had him in the bag. I personally don't want Amirom, I want Naglesman but I dunnoh if he's available.

    • @Vayanovic

      You are right, unfortunately Liverpool fans are entitled, delusional and arrogant to even think that it is "destiny" for Alonso to come to Liverpool. Why should he? He won more trophies at Madrid which is the capital of his home country, it's the biggest club in the world, and the biggest job in football. Ruben Amorim would be a good fit for Liverpool.

      @t.muller825 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Nah, I think he has something else in mind. I believe he first wants to continue with his project in Leverkusen and see what he can do with them. I mean, it is a financially stable club with the Bayer Group in its back and now with extra Champions League money. Additionally, every win for Bayer Leverkusen is much bigger than a win with Liverpool or Bayern. And then, I think he wants to succeed Ancelotti and coach Real, a club that is probably even closer to his heart than Liverpool or Bayern.

    • @FreshAlchemy
