The Liverpool Thread 2017/2018 featuring Jurgen Klopp

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I think he'll be on a list.

But he'll be low down.

Not least because he's power hungry and would have the ability to turn the fans against the owners and behind him, should a situation arise. I don't think they'd take that risk.

That's a good point.

[Liverpool's search for a new manager has been dealt a fresh blow after Jurgen Klopp made it clear he does not want to leave Borussia Dortmund.Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers has already rejected an approach from the Anfield club, who are looking for a successor to Kenny Dalglish following the Scot's sacking on Friday.
Klopp is thought to be one of the 12 candidates who are being targeted by Liverpool, but he is committed to Bundesliga champions Dortmund after leading them to a league and cup double this season.
The German 44-year-old is one of the most promising manager's in Europe after achieving success on a tight budget, but he is under contract at Dortmund for another four years.
And Klopp is staying put amid plans for a better challenge in next season's UEFA Champions Leagueafter a disappointing bottom-placed finish in Arsenal's Group F this campaign.
The previous Chelsea target said: "I have been made aware of interest from England, and it is an honour to be linked with big clubs in the Premier League.
"But I have a contract with Dortmund until 2016 and am going nowhere. I love it here and have no intention of changing clubs."

Sky Sports understands former Denmark star Michael Laudrup is a contender for the vacant manager's job at Liverpool.Liverpool have begun their search for a new boss following the board's decision to axe Kenny Dalglish earlier this week.
The Reds are believed to have a shortlist of up to 12 people they want to talk to about succeeding Dalglish at Anfield.
Wigan's Roberto Martinez has already been given permission to enter discussions with Liverpool, while Swansea chief Brendan Rodgers declined the opportunity to hold talks with the Merseyside giants.
Danish icon Laudrup is thought to be in the frame for the post, with the 47-year-old believed to be keen to try his luck in England.
Former Barcelona and Real Madrid star Laudrup is highly-regarded in Europe as one of the best young managers around with his brand of exciting attacking style of play.
Laudrup worked as Morten Olsen's assistant with the Danish national side before he took charge of Brondby in 2002.
After four successful seasons, he left Brondby for Getafe, leading them to the final of the Copa del Rey and the quarter-finals of the old UEFA Cup.
Laudrup has since had spells with Spartak Moscow and Real Mallorca, who he left last September.
Laudrup has been linked with a move to England in the past and the Dane is thought to have admirers inside the corridors of power at Anfield as they look to bring in a new man to get the club back on track.

LIVERPOOL have made Ajax boss Frank de Boer their No 1 target.De Boer has shot to the top of their wanted list after winning successive Dutch titles.

Liverpool contacted the former Holland defender in the last 48 hours and he has asked for time to consider their approach.

The move will come as a shock to Roberto Martinez, who was given permission by Wigan to speak to the Anfield club following the sacking of Kenny Dalglish.

De Boer is considered the Dutch Pep Guardiola and is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most talented coaches.

Liverpool have targeted the 42-year-old because he has the knack of providing instant success.

He took over from current Fulham boss Martin Jol in December 2010 and, within 18 months, had rebuilt the Ajax team and won two titles.

As a player, De Boer won 112 caps, played for 10 years at Ajax and five seasons at Barcelona.

He also had a spell at Glasgow Rangers.

But Liverpool will face a battle to land their man as Ajax want to keep him.
