What went wrong with Ruben Amorim?

It’s hard to say at this precise juncture. Prior reports had suggested that there was a difference between the Portuguese head coach and Liverpool over the financials.

Given the task at hand in replacing Jurgen Klopp, of course, you’d hope that our decision-makers would be prepared to go big to get the best possible replacement in!

Not to suggest that Slot, by comparison, is a poor choice. The Dutchman plays an attractive brand of attacking football and similarly prioritises the development of youth on a small budget.

All things that should appeal massively to our current ownership, Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes.
