If flick doesn't work we won't go for another German manager, we'll go right back to barca DNA and rightfully so.

Plus flick is entirely too happy with finishing 2nd, he's not built for Barcelona or Madrid in that respect.

I'm really not a fan of Ferguson as a manager or a man at all, for many reasons.

One thing that makes me laugh about his achievements though is clueless modern fans saying 'he beat Real Madrid with fucking Aberdeen!'. It was pre-Bosman days - back then Real Madrid were nowhere near as good as they have been in recent times, and Aberdeen were miles better than they are now. Scottish football was much better than it is now. It was before TV money had destroyed smaller leagues. The football landscape was totally unrecognisable to today.

Also, go back and look at some of the clubs who won European trophies back then - clubs who are minnows now (just like Aberdeen). So it wasn't as amazing a feat as we are led to believe. Yet you listen to these thickos talk - they speak like it's modern Aberdeen beating modern Real Madrid. They talk up that achievement yet I bet they couldn't even name a single Aberdeen player from back then (Willie Miller, Alex McLeish etc), or how the backroom staff really helped Ferguson. Like I say, just morons and viewing 80s football through the prism of the present.

Klopp had some lovely things to say about do’s and don’ts in anticipation of Liverpool winning league.

Love him. You can just tell that he's not even a lil bitter about Slot's immediate success. Klopp never chased success, trophies or all time great status. He doesn't give a fuck about how highly he's ranked in the best managers list. He could literally join ANY club in the world. Madrid, Barca, Bayern, etc would all welcome him with open arms but he chose ridiculously difficult projects and consistently performed miracles. GOAT stuff. @Birdy

Yeah, Klopp gives the opponents more of a chance to win than Slot because of his style of play but we never got dominated under Klopp. You'd never see a team destroy us like PSG did under Klopp. We were always the superior Footballing team regardless of the scoreline.

Maybe Slot's style of play is better for certain trophies or a one off tie but Klopp's style of play was the definition of entertainment. Box office football. 🍿
