The implication with this suggestion that I've seen many people making is that we have a bunch of players who are pathetically weak-minded and soft that the news of the manager leaving - even if it comes in the middle of the season - is enough to make them lose all focus, confidence and purpose as to watch their season collapse.
I don't want players like that playing for our club.
I don't know why the club and Klopp did it this were, or more likely were forced to make the announcement when he did.
But fact of the matter is that it would have come out anyway as soon as they started talking to prospective replacements, and then what?
What else would you have them do?
Wait until the end of the season for him to announce and for them to start their search for his replacement - even coming at a time when at least three other big European clubs are likely in the hunt for new managers with possible prospective candidates at risk of being scooped up before then?*
(*not that it matters now, since I highly doubt Slot was in Bayern or Barcelona's radar as their manager replacement. But that's a story for another way).
I think it comes down to the players and what they're made of, because how they've reacted now tells me that even if he hadn't made the announcement when he did, they still would have collapsed anyway at the earliest convient excuse to do so.
Some of these a weak players and don't deserve to be in the next version of the Liverpool team, and others need to move on before the ManUre "players-too-big-for-the-club" syndrome begins to set in before Slot arrives, and as we saw today with theinevitable end result of all those years of Klopp coddling Salah rather than having a firm hand with him earlier.
He's one of the first who should go (Mo , I mean.).
That was just disgraceful what he did today. I don't care what Klopp said or did. You don't sully the shirt like that.
