Steven Gerrard has signed a new deal at Rangers until 2024.
A coincidence?
I hope it's a coincidence, I want Klopp, at the end of 2024, to sign a new contract, whatever may happen in the interim.
Same, a few weeks back, I was thinking if Klopp won the title this season, he might walk away for a rest but now we are being linked with a player or two, the contract is making sense.
Yeah Klopp even said today that he signed a new contract to assure any potential new signings that he was there for the long term. A lot of players would be drawn to Liverpool because of Klopp so it's a good way of ensuring their signing.
Reminds of Robin van Persie when signed for United, he signed with the understanding that whiskey nose would be there for a few years more, but left after van Persie's first season, which disappointed RVP
If it is only a coincidence and Stevie Gerrard does big things with Rangers over the next few years I can't see how he couldn't turn down the offer if it was made to him at some point, from Liverpool. I think it would be a natural transition for Liverpool.
Ideally Stevie G is the next manager but football is a funny old game, he wins a trophy this season or next and a few Prem clubs will be after him. Xabi Alonso is another, I always wanted him to become assistant to Klopp.

Xabi Alonso might in time, he is eager to get into the coaching/managerial side of the game from what he said recently, managing a lower tier team in Spain at the minute.

Good to see Klipperty Klopp signed up for another extension, it would be madness to leave this successful ship and its crew.
Klopp loves him.
Wonder which other players might get a new contract....
Lallana will leave at the end of the season....finally!

Yeah especially if Minamino comes in, just don't see a place for Lallana, maybe if he had been fit the last 2 seasons it would be different as Klopp loves him and his style of play, but probably for him and the club to move on.
On the issue of new contracts; Salah, Mane, Gini, Trent. Basically everyone who hasn't signed a new contract in the last 9 months could and should be angling for a new one, especially if Liverpool win the league and who knows, maybe even the double with the Champions League. Now that would be a dream come true
I guess if they knew Klopp was now staying they know how well he gets the best out of them, they would.
