Despite the shock about Jurgen Klopp’s impending departure, it doesn’t mean Liverpool need to suffer the same trauma Manchester United had in trying to replace Sir Alex Ferguson.
I think the news will galvanise the players for the rest of this season and I wouldn’t be surprised if Xabi Alonso is confirmed before the summer transfer window for an orderly transition.
Players tend to think selfishly. They clearly get on well with Klopp, but will also be aware of having to impress the next manager.
Whoever that is will study every Liverpool match before making decisions for the following season.
