Let's say they fired Klopp. Who will replace him? I think it would be unfair to think that while Klopp's progress in the champions league was very good, he should be fired because they got into this situation in the league. He made it to the final and lost in the champions league. The next level of this is already getting the trophy. I believe it will be successful. They will use the Premier League as a tool to reach the Champions League this season. You can't be a champion every year. Such drops are quite normal. I agree with what has been written and I don't think Liverpool have any plans to fire Klopp.
If Klopp leaves Liverpool it's their loss, because it will be a while for them to see a good coach as him. They did not have a great start to the premier League campaign that is why they have found themselves at their current position and other teams in the premier League this season are really doing well not giving any chance for any big team that doesn't deserve to be top four to be there. They have struggled to adjust to playing without Sadio Mane,  but now they are picking up and Mo' Salah is becoming more confident and scoring. In my opinion they still have a good chance to finish top 6.

If Chelsea doesn't get Nkunku that's all their fault, they made him so relevant even after the windows were close.
There are rumours that Chelsea and Manchester city are interested in Rafael Leão from AC Milan, Chelsea will be a better option for Rafael, he will have a better playing opportunity than in Manchester city where Haaland has pegged his mark.

It seems like Newcastle and Aston Villa are targeting to sign Eden Hazard. This transfer is likely to happen in winter transfer window also.

https://www.elnacional.cat/ca/esports/hazard-confidencia-courtois-desti-decidit-retorn-casa_912462_102.html

It is said that Hazard is eager to leave the team at the earliest opportunity. He has already said to his teammates that he wants to leave as Ancelotti doesn't seem like Hazard is a part of his plans. It would be the right thing to do for Hazard honestly. He hasn't played football properly for a long time since he joined Real Madrid. It was his biggest mistake in his career I think. He should have stayed at Inter while he was doing a great job. Anyway, it'd still be nice to see him back in the Premier League. I'd like to see him playing for Newcastle while they are this strong.

Chelsea might be likely to lose Nkunku to Real Madrid now. Because there is some new update such as Real Madrid have started to monitor his condition also. It is claimed that this interest might have an affect on Nkunku to change his mind. Chelsea were actually really close to signing a deal with him. They were trying to agree personal terms as early as possible to finish the transfer next summer. But it looks like their job will be quite hard from now on.

If Chelsea doesn't get Nkunku that's all their fault, they made him so relevant even after the windows were close. They could have done this deal in silence and surprised everyone when they sign him but no the new owners wants media attention so they leak information of negotiations ongoing to sign him and now the whole world wants him. Chelsea are yet to understand that their name isn't as big as they think, any player they're after can always change their mind if offers come from the heavyweights like Real Madrid, Barcelona and the rest.

Chelsea also aren't doing that well to attract players that are in media spotlights. Let them not forget that they're likely to lose the champions league slots for next season if they keep playing poorly as they're doing. Todd Boehly need to also step away from the negotiation table of signing new players and get someone who knows what he's doing. Chelsea had over $200m last season and they wasted all signing  players that aren't having any effect on the team. Chelsea is currently sitting at the 7th position which is very bad.

In Champions League, Liverpool is having some remarkable success. They have not lost a single match in the last five Champions League matches.
But they are not performing well in the English Premier League. I really don’t know if Liverpool has good enough success in the Champions League will it be a good enough reason to keep Jürgen Klopp?

I think he should finish in the top six in the Premier League and win the Champions League title. That will probably make people believe that he is still worthy.
I agree with @Sterbens that I have not heard anything about Liverpool sacking the coach. I don’t think they are thinking about that right now. I believe they are giving the coach some time to fix the problems that they are facing.
Let's say they fired Klopp. Who will replace him?

I agree with what has been written and I don't think Liverpool have any plans to fire Klopp.

Exactly, I don't think there is anyone who is available or wants to replace Klopp right now. Even if they do decide to get rid of him and bring in someone else, will he be able to bring better results compared to Klopp?

I really do not think Liverpool should hurry to take any decision. Rather than making a snap decision now, they should wait and make the right decision later.

Well, in this case, it's true that even if they saw their performance wasn't too good in the EPL, they were still quite happy with the result of the match in the Champions League, even though the defeat of Napoli in the first match was still a little difficult not to criticize.
Finishing in the top 6 is not too good for Klopp because in this case Klopp has been reminded that their target must be in the top 4 and when he can't run the target then there is a high possibility of dismissal.

I think if Liverpool finishes in the top six and not in the top four, Klopp shouldn't be sacked. He has done a good job with Liverpool and I think this is just a challenging period they are going through. Anyone can have those rough patches. For that, we shouldn't criticize too much.

Well, I think I should clarify that the top 6 is not going to be a problem if he is able to win the Champions League with Liverpool. Other than that, there is no exception for finishing in the top 4.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11398733/Fenway-Sports-Group-puts-Liverpool-SALE-12-years-ownership.html

That could change a lot of things as we could observe with Tuchel and Chelsea. New owners, new ideas!

I think the same way that Klopp shouldn't be sacked unless the season ends in a devastating way. Top 6 should be ok, but do you think that new owners would keep going with Klopp when he fails to qualify for the CL? I doubt that he would remain the coach in that case unless the new owners understand that Klopp is a popular figure in world soccer, much more than Tuchel. But still they are in it for the business and the only thing that might count for them is nonstop success.

Messi still has a chance to return to Barcelona, moreover Laporta and Xavi have openly said they want to bring Messi back to Camp Nou.
that wish could have been realized when Barca was in better shape. if their finances are still the worst, forcing to send Messi back will only make things harder for the player.
not because of the quality of the current squad. I think Messi can adapt quickly to the squad. but if Barca's finances are not in order, it will complicate things. not to mention the money to pay PSG.
for now, Messi will be better at PSG. he played great there.
Barcelona finances are the determinant to bring home Messi, Barcelona which is still not fully able to improve its financial condition must arrange a plan to sell several players in the January transfer market. Actually Barcelona can increase the club's income if it can go further in the UCL, due to failing in the group stage, Barcelona must be content to be thrown into the Europa League and the opportunity to get club income in the UCL is closed.

Barcelona can still wait until Messi's contract with PSG expires to bring him for free, especially since there is currently no agreement between Messi and PSG for a contract extension. The drama of Messi's return to Barcelona is increasingly being fried by the mass media, whether this news is true or they just want to make hot news to lead readers to increase the company's income.

It looks like Manchester United have started to be in search of a striker already now. Because I'm hearing about some names such as Dusan Vlahovic. As for him I don't have very positive thoughts about this transfer. Above all else Juventus wouldn't like to let him go this quick. There hasn't been even a year since he joined Juventus. He has a satisfying level of a performance now and he is one of the talented and young strikers. Manchester United had better look for other alternatives.
For example, Harry Kane would be a great choice. He is a solid striker and very experienced at the same time. However even if they convince Tottenham to let him go there would be Bayern Munich also on the line to sign him. In this case I don't know what Kane's choice would be.
I don’t think Dusan Vlahovic will be going to Manchester United anytime soon, Vlahovic still has a long term contract with Juventus as he is the main striker leading their attacking lines so this transfer speculation is not likely to be realistic in January because like you said Vlahovic is a key player for Juventus and they wouldn’t want to let him go. Harry Kane would also be a good alternative for United but they will face competition with Bayern Munich if Tottenham eventually decide to sell. In the end it would come to who comes with the best offers.
I see the possibility of Harry Kane being transferred from Tottenham to other teams low.  Vlahovic, on the other hand, seems pleased to wear the Juventus jersey.  I don't think Manchester United will sign him.  Juventus keeps Vlahovic in the team.  I don't think Manchester United need a striker.  I think it would be more important for them to strengthen the defense zone.

I don't know if Harry Kane is willing to be interested in moving to Manchester United. Harry Kane wanted to leave Spurs because they were not bringing in trophies. Keeping that in mind, there is no way he is planning to move to Manchester United. This is because there is no way Manchester United will be able to bring in trophies anytime soon because they do not have a trophy-winning performance/squad. 

Vlahovic will probably think about switching to Manchester United because Juventus is not doing very well right now. But at the same time, Juventus is not going to want to let him go, he is a key performer for them.

So, I don't think Manchester United is going to be very successful if they look for these two players. They should start looking at other options.

if it was harry kane who urged his team to sell him to another club then tottenham couldn't resist his desire and what I saw was the issue of bayern being very interested in kane already circulating widely. vlahovic will definitely refuse to move to Manchester United, but we'll see what happens in the transfer season next year. MU has money and many players are very tempted by money.

Chelsea still need to improve their attacking line I think. I still don't see it good enough despite signing Aubameyang. They need a more reliable striker on the front to increase their effectiveness in scoring goals. One of the reasons why they are losing points is definitely related to this issue.

But statistics have already been cited where it can be seen that Xavi's performance at the end of 50 games is at a very low level. I would not compare the fall of United and Barcelona - in England the level of competition is excessively high and if you fall from the top, then you are not in second or third place, but immediately in 7-8. If there was a similar level of competition in La Liga, then I'm not sure that Barcelona would have kept a formally "decent" lag with Real Madrid.
The competition in both leagues differ, the English Premier league is a lot more physical and intense compared to the La liga. If Barcelona were competing in the EPL they surely won't be sitting second place and a point away from the league leaders. The Laliga is not as tough as the EPL that is why Barcelona are not able to keep an impressive performance competing in the Champions league this season. It is a shame they will drop to the Europa league this season.

That is why Barcelona's summer spending raises big questions - 200+ million spent and the result is the same as last year with a "weak" squad. By the way, in view of the results of the draw, the strength of Barcelona relative to English clubs can be assessed directly - in the play-offs for the right to play in the 1/8 Europa League, Barcelona will play with United. I'm a United fan so I'm biased, but it seems to me that United should win without any problems.

While Messi is currently focused on the World Cup, which both him and his team's goal, and PSG management has already stated that they are happy to extend his contract, which is set to expire at the end of this season, most chances are he will stay here for longer. After all, at the end of this season. Like Barcelona is developing squad for long time future which needs youngsters instead of player like Messi same happening in other clubs so with this all current situation most chances he will be ended his career at his current club PSG because they are only those can afford his salary and bonuses with good time for him in first team as well. Due to the fact that Messi's current club, PSG, is the only one that can afford to pay his salary and bonuses while also giving him a chance to play for the first team, and that Barcelona is building a team for the long term that needs youngsters rather than players like Messi, there are high chances that he will end his career there.

Is Messi that ambitious with his salary? I don't think so, even the reason he left Barcelona was a lot of rumors about financial problems. But the fact is long before Barcelona's finances were destroyed, Messi already had the plan to leave. It's just that the decision and the moment of his departure were right at the time when Barcelona finances began to collapse. Now PSG has made so many offers with raises to keep Messi afloat. But until now, neither Messi nor his manager has confirmed the final decision. We will see that decision after the world cup is over.
It may be true that Messi is not too ambitious about the amount of money he will receive wherever he is. But it is an agreement for both parties to agree on what salary is suitable and not detrimental to each other. It is undeniable that in player contracts, money is one of the factors that cooperation goes well. I don't think that Messi will want to be paid a salary that is way below his current market price. So it can be concluded that money is an important factor in a deal.

Snip.
when talking about Barcelona's financial collapse it was very detrimental to his players but Messi probably already knew that Barcelona had unstable financial problems so he preferred to leave and at this time I believe he doesn't want to return to Barcelona because Messi's suspicions about Barcelona's finances are right for him.
Actually Barcelona and Lionel Messi have reached an agreement and a clear intention from both parties to sign a contract extension for the star, previously there were rumors that Messi was willing to stay at Barcelona even though he had to get a salary cut of 50 percent. However an internal agreement between Barcelona and Messi could not be realized due to financial and structural barriers to the La Liga regulations.

At that time Barcelona was in a financial crisis, plus the rules for limiting wages in La Liga were the trigger. Messi departure from Barcelona was not solely because of money, it was Messi decision to leave Barcelona because he wanted to save Barcelona from La Liga salary restrictions.
Messi still has a chance to return to Barcelona, moreover Laporta and Xavi have openly said they want to bring Messi back to Camp Nou.

There's a news in a while ago if Vlahovic would join Arsenal in the next year, there's no reason for Manchester United to sign more striker because they're currently have too many strikers right now. There's a chance Juventus will let Vlahovic go considering Juventus's performance is really bad in this season.


Dusan's performance at Juventus was not as good as he did at Fiorentina but with this I don't see any interest in Dusan going to London because at the moment it looks like he is still focused enough on being at Juventus to improve his lost form at the moment.
But it is not impossible for Juventus to push for a move for him because we know Juventus are currently struggling financially, so it is not impossible that some players are allowed to leave at a suitable price.

Things are definitely heating up in EPL, clubs are desperate to be on top and do not mind changing managers in the middle of the season. There are rumors that Klopp’s reign at Liverpool may come to an end if they continue to perform badly but come to think of it Klopp is one of those coaches who have been outstanding in Europe, I would advice they retain Klopp, this things happen to every club, it is a phase and it will definitely pass, a little more patience and I believe things will get better.

They really shouldn't sack Jurgen Klopp. First of all, if they do, they will have to bring in a better coach. Actually, I don't know if anyone is currently interested right now in Liverpool. I know that Liverpool has been struggling through a tough period right now but somehow they will have to manage. You know, Liverpool is also doing quite well in the Champions League thus far.

So, I think they will also be able to make a comeback in the English Premier League. They just need some time. But if Liverpool decide to sack Klopp and bring in Zidane, that's another story.

I don't think so. It's all about money. Barcelona has a very big debt. Even if it's not even getting paid by the team. Barcelona could not afford to give him a new contract with salary expected by him and so he was deciding to leave from barcelona.
If you are thinking he doesn't care about money and he can still play for barcelona for free like what happened with pique. Money is far more important compared with your loyalty for your club. Messi has family and did you think he was a robot? I hope you read again about that. PSG was coming with contract that was worthy for him and he decides to take PSG's offer. he will not be coming back again to the barcelona.
barcelona can't even bought great player for the next season due to the financial condition. Barcelona will be searching for free transfer player.

If I observe, PSG currently has more attention than any big team. almost every week, there are always rumors linking PSG's star players. if not mbappe who became a hot rumor, none other than his teammate who became a news rumor from this PSG-owned star.

Currently, we have a hot conversation that always relates Messi's return to Barcelona. in fact, several other rumors circulated, Pep Guardiola was interested in signing Messi after his contract expired with PSG this season. however, so far no official statement has come out of him regarding his future with PSG, for sure he still has a contract until the end of this season.
So far, he has only focused on the world cup event. and yes, we will know the decision later after this world cup ends.
