The Mailbox believes that Jurgen Klopp’s departure is imminent given Julian Ward’s comeback to Liverpool and four anti-Michael Edwards transfers. Did Klopp unintentionally exclude his own people? It was revealed today that FSG and Liverpool FC are in the process of reuniting, with Julian Ward set to return and continue playing opportune transfer wall passes with former rondo partner Michael Edwards. Make no mistake, the leader and guitarists are still there, and they’re back to playing well-known songs. They’ve brought in a new drummer to keep things moving and a few backing vocalists to offer some extra vocals.
I see this as another proof that Liverpool employees started walking away throughout the previous several seasons as a result of Klopp moving around too many deck chairs on a sinking ship. This, in my opinion, is further proof that Darwin Nunez—and perhaps Gakpo and Endo as well—may not have been signed under an Edwards-directed administration. This, in my opinion, is further proof that Edwards did not, at least in theory, think Thiago Alcantara was a good addition to fill the Wijnaldum-shaped hole in Liverpool’s midfield during the team’s heyday, when they simply needed stardust, durability, and spot insurance. This seems like additional proof to me that Jurgen should really move on at this point.
All of this is not to diminish my admiration for Jurgen Klopp—I do, really—nor to suggest that Arne Slot’s somewhat more contemporary and data-driven perspectives on football will provide the solution to this 2.0 movement, or whatever name you want to give it. This is merely to state (or speculate) that the band is most likely reuniting, and that the reason for this could be that the former lead, who had gradually taken over songwriting, mixing, and producing responsibilities while still hogging the tambourine, chose to go off and pursue a solo career.

United made a pitiful decision to sell Fred and purchase Mason Mount, and ETH must partially accept blame for enabling it to occur. In United’s midfield, Fred was becoming into a fantastic partner for Casemiro after previously being an almost constant liability. I believe that many managers neglect their personal ties in the process of developing a side project, and this can occasionally come back to haunt them. I believe that having a young, vivacious countryman in a new squad and nation was really beneficial for Casemiro, and Casemiro’s experience had a great influence on Fred. I believe United had an abundance of midfield players if they hadn’t been divided up and Mainoo hadn’t been on the scene. Rather, Casemiro’s Ratcliffe is beginning to seem like a joke even before he signs a player. His initial actions have been to reduce expenses within the company, as though it would strengthen our defense. His next apparent obsession appears to be jobs within the organization for friends and potential friends. Although I believe Jason Wilcox was a passable talent, what team has been contacting him since he stopped competing? Even yet, Ratcliffe has managed to recognize him as a crucial component of the puzzle. If this were taking place at an other club, I would be laughing.

I concur that Man United committed its biggest error with the sale of Fred. In yesterday’s submittal, I mentioned it briefly. Fred was a member of the double pivot midfield with Casemiro that upset Man City 2-1 at Old Trafford. Ten Hag needed to keep the players in key positions to improve on their third-place finish from the previous season. As opposed to losing both legs 6-3 and 2-1 the previous season, United lost both this season, 3-0 and 3-1, respectively. That’s the starting point. 2. Ten Hag entered in place of 18-year-old Kobby Mainoo, who lacked Premier League match experience. Fred has worked with Rangnick, Ten Hag, Carrick, Solskjaer, and Mourinho. Actually, Rangnick was the one who initially How can you get rid of a player who might help you earn your money back the next season? Too terrible, because Casemiro’s usage out of position is one of the main reasons United’s midfield is struggling this year.
