Today the news broke that Jurgen Klopp will put pen to paper and become Liverpool Football Club\u2019s new manager, with a press conference announced for 10am tomorrow. The 48 year old becomes the first German to take control over the club and only the third non-Brit to sit in the Anfield hot seat.<\/p>\n
What will he bring to Liverpool? What does he need to do to get the Reds back on track? Is he the season changing appointment that many think, or will he prove to be a disappointment like other managers before him? We ask all of the big questions about Liverpool\u2019s new manager and explain why we think he\u2019ll be a great addition to the Merseyside club.<\/p>\n
When Brendan Rodgers arrived at Liverpool Football Club he was always going to find it difficult to win over the doubters. The club had been in a state of flux for too long, fighting too many battles on too many fronts to come out swinging without hitting a couple of speed bumps along the way. From Rafa Benitez running himself into the ground to save the very soul of the football club, through to Fenway Sports Group needing to go to the high court in order to rescue the club from the hands of two cowboys desperately trying to bleed it dry, Liverpool FC has been put through the wringer in its recent history.<\/p>\n
When they arrived in 2010 and realised that Roy Hodgson was an absolutely clown who should never have been allowed anywhere near the Anfield dugout, FSG apparently wanted to try to persuade Jurgen Klopp to leave his post at Borussia Dortmund and see if he could work his magic again on Merseyside. They failed in their attempts to lure him there then and they also failed when they tried it again in 2012 \u2013 Klopp, it seems, is a man of loyalty.<\/p>\n
