Klopp's career at both Mainz and Dortmund followed a similar trend.

At Mainz he got them promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time, and the next season got them into Europe. The next season they were relegated and he couldn't get them promoted the year after, so he quit.

At Dortmund he took them to the title and the final of the CL, but then it all went wrong and once again he stepped down.

His Liverpool tenure could be very similar to Rodgers. Liverpool will have to hope he's learnt from his last two jobs and has fresh ideas on how to stop the decline when it begins.

Allardyce confirmed as Sunderland manager.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34491345

One of Sam's biggest challenges imo, if not the biggest. We had a far better team than Sunderland when he took over from Ince.

He must have been given assurances about having cash to spend in January. How long before Nolan is a Sunderland player?

Liverpool is a real difficult job as the fans expect the team to compete with the Manchester clubs, arsenal and Chelsea but they just don't have the resources and ability to sign top players since they dropped out of regularly qualifying of the CL. Also the Sterling and Suarez money has been largely wasted.

A few years ago a legitimate target would be second (which Rogers achieved against the odds, and nearly won the title) but now fourth would be an achievement.

Don't think the majority of scousers will see it that way though. Not ready to think they are in the same bracket as Spurs and Everton but that's really where they are.

That's Sunderland free from relegation then. No chance they will go down with Big Sam in charge.

Added pressure now on Villa and Newcastle.

I think this may be a bridge too far for Big Sam. He is inheriting a poor bunch of players and supporters that exit the stadium when they go 2 down ^_^

Is it a worse squad than Bournemouth or Watford? If not then he's only got to pick one more off like Villa or Newcastle.

Rodgers spent £291m in his time at Liverpool, hardly slim pickings when it comes to resources.

Net spend was around 25million a season right?

Okay he spunked it up the wall good and proper but what could SAF or Mourinho do with those figures?

True but they can't sign the likes of Diego Costa, Schweinsteuger, Fabregas, Ozil etc. They just won't come because they are not a regular CL club any more.

Moneys part of it, but the main issue is they are no longer perceived as elite. Same as Spurs.

The rise of man city has knocked Liverpool out of the CL cartel.

25m on one or 2 good players per season is sufficient to build on, instead he was spending £15m on the likes of Borini, £4m on Lambert etc...

They may not have been in the champions league but they are still have massive pulling power, and massive financial muscle.

The longer he was there the further he was away from getting a team together, or looking like he could.

Saw that article yesterday. They've loads of fans, but that's genuinely it, so many of them with a sense of entitlement it's ridiculous.

This was my favourite quote:

'It would be difficult to find another set of fans in world football who have been so badly served.'

Swing and a miss there lad.
