00:00 Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp announced this is his last season at the club. What's the latest you can tell us on him?
00:23 Yes, we're pretty much looking at a case of when and if not if Arnie Slott will become Liverpool's next manager.
00:30 Just this evening Jürgen Klopp in the Dutchman's come out and said that he wants to take charge of Liverpool.
00:35 He said it and the Fianna and the Reds have been in negotiations.
00:40 You can look at it two ways. You can say is it a little bit underwhelming because he's not someone that Liverpool fans will be very aware of.
00:48 Let's be frank, it's a massive step up and maybe when supporters have been getting hopeful for a while it will be Xabi Alonso.
00:57 Obviously there was a disappointment there and now it's going to be a name that is relatively unknown to them.
01:03 Arnie Slott has a good reputation. Klopp wants to hire him a year ago before they went and got Andrew Posta-Coghlin.
01:12 It was only Arnie Slott's stage of fire that they didn't get him.
01:18 Teams rate him reportedly Chelsea but we'll look at him before he hires Mauricio Pochettino as well.
01:24 He's clearly a manager who plays on a front foot, likes to play a 4-3-3 system.
01:28 That's a big thing I think because these players, there's not going to be a mass overhaul where the new manager can go in and get whatever play he wants.
01:36 Rip up the scores and bring in players that will suit his system to a T.
01:42 It's got to be a bit of a happy medium. Xabi Alonso, three at the back, wing-backs, two number 10s, Ruben Amor and plays three at the back as well.
01:50 So you may be looking at Liverpool's squad and thinking, have they got the players to do that? Have they got the numbers to do that?
01:55 Would they have to sell a couple and bring, if you're playing three centre-backs you probably need five or six options.
02:01 And then you're probably overloading midfield and where do the wingers fit in etc.
02:06 So maybe Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes have looked down for but we need someone who's, we can't get Jürgen Klopp everyone knows that,
02:14 but can we get a manager who's similar to Jürgen Klopp in the style that he plays?
02:18 By all accounts, we've rubbed up Hojinbury, he likes to play attacking football and that's massive.
02:25 In the modern day now, I think, sports don't want to see pragmatic football anymore.
02:31 It can deliver success but I think we've seen with St Marino and Antonio Conte, it can only last a short while.
02:40 In modern football, I think players are becoming a little bit bored of it as well.
02:46 Football's changed hasn't it and it's about playing on the front foot.
02:49 It looks like, unless there's a big change at Arnie Slott, he's going to be the next incumbent to occupy the Anfield's hot seat.
