Liverpool Shouldn’t Make The Same Mistake MUFC Made When Sir Alex Ferguson Left – John Aldridge

Former Liverpool forward, John Aldridge has warned the club against making too many changes in the squad ahead of the arrival of a new manager. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, whenever a club changes a successful manager, it is always a risk for the club, so Liverpool must avoid making too many changes that will affect the balance of things at Anfield.

John added that we saw MUFC make the mistake when SAF left, and they are still paying for it.

His words, “I don’t know what to expect, I really don’t know. Whenever you change manager, it’s always a massive risk for any club. Man City when Pep Guardiola goes, see what happens there. We’ve seen it with Manchester United when Sir Alex Ferguson left. They dive-bombed and haven’t been back since. We just have to hope that we’ve got the right man to take over and keep it going on.

I think we were all surprised because he wasn’t even in the running. Whether it’s a good thing or not, we don’t know. It’s always going to be a risk when a manager goes and another one comes in. We’ve seen that ourselves with certain managers in the past too.

Jurgen came in and did a great job so you want it to continue smoothly. You don’t want him to all of a sudden come in and get rid of four players, then bring four players in. What’s happened in the past month, doesn’t make us a bad team. We’ve got really good players, really good young players. Everything is in place, except we don’t know the management and staff yet.

They’ve got to try and take it over comfortably. Too many changes, it’s like baking a cake. You put in the wrong ingredients and it goes wrong. It’s got to be done in the right manner, and that’s down to the owners and Michael Edwards, to make sure the change goes smoothly.”

On Salah, “Obviously there are going to be new players coming in, maybe Mo going out and one or two other players. We don’t know. You don’t want to see too much happening all of a sudden because we have got a really good team, a really good squad.

We’ve not scored goals for the last month or so and that’s what has cost us. We’ve missed far too many chances. It’s there in black and white, everyone knows. The forwards haven’t been doing well, but they did well prior to that.”
