Klopp has three more seasons left. Do you suppose Gerrard will be ready by 2024?

Jack Dunn is a free agent again and looking for a club. He had just signed for Prestatyn Town but it fell through for whatever reason (probably Covid).

Rafaā€™s really not making it easy for himself, is heā€¦

I think he gets a lot of joy from it. Bar the little spells at Inter, Madrid and Chelsea heā€™s always spent his time at clubs that tended to have fanatical support but major problems and thatā€™s where heā€™s stayed longest. I think itā€™s fair to say that Rafa could have won more had he been less anti-establishment but I doubt he personally has any regrets about it.

I get the feeling heā€™d rather walk out on the pitch to a mad mix of 50 000 in Liverpool, Napoli, Newcastle or Marseille and be the underdog than work for a club thatā€™s pretty much guaranteed to win but have very little soul either. He hasnā€™t taken the easy road in his career, thatā€™s for sure but I doubt heā€™d have it any other way.

We are in agreement, I think that fans of almost all of his former clubs, bar Chelsea and Real Madrid (heh, Chelsea and Real Madrid - I see a few similarities there), love him very, very much. Thing is, all these clubs have had pretty tumultuous board rooms, they didnā€™t act in unison, they didnā€™t back him with big money and Marseille seems the most chaotic of all. Iā€™d love him at club that operates like Leipzig, for example, with fine scouting department and solid finances, and with a crowd like Dortmundā€™s. Sadly, I donā€™t see such a club being in for him at this moment.

Doesnā€™t he and his family still live in the vicinity of Liverpool?

Glad we didnā€™t sign him. Heā€™s finished.
