Yep, but some players have had to play more than we would have wanted. They’re not mutually exclusive

I'm glad it's not just me that's pleased we're doing our bit to further strengthen the elite clubs. Nothing better than seeing Ali Mac in a Liverpool shirt, Bissouma in a Spurs shirt, Tossard in an Arsenal shirt. It gives you a warm glow knowing that little old BHA are doing our bit for these great clubs as fits our station, great clubs desperately short of existing talent and who always need more of it to keep the league competitive from top to bottom.
Exactly, Brighton fans are getting carried away. I am glad you agree that we should know our place.

Xabi Alonso officially announces he's staying at Bayer Leverkusen next season.

That must move RDZ up the order on a few managerial vacancy lists.

ESPN reported yesterday that RDZ is the new Liverpool "favourite" although they also say Amorim is "favoured"

And Matteo Moretto (who works for Romano ? ) says RDZ is "set for talks" with Liverpool. That's handy he can pop by on Sunday when he's up there.

Sources: Liverpool rule out Alonso to follow Klopp
Liverpool have abandoned plans to pursue Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso as a replacement for Jurgen Klopp as manager, sources told ESPN, with Brighton's Roberto De Zerbi and Sporting CP coach Ruben Amorim regarded as leading candidates.
And Matteo Moretto (who works for Romano ? ) says RDZ is "set for talks" with Liverpool. That's handy he can pop by on Sunday when he's up there.

Sensible for Alonso as far as Liverpool’s concerned. Sit tight for a while rather than be the guy that’s got to follow Klopp.

I can see Klopp back tracking and staying another season.

No one else can.
When he leaves I wonder if some of their fans will only remember their run of six home losses in a row.
Doubt it.

You mean like our fans only remember Potter beating Leicester 5-2

TB deserves a manager who comes out with comments like Alonso has 
"We have had a lot of speculation regarding my future," he said. "Until now we have had so many games, been pretty busy and focused, and I wanted to reflect during the international break and take a decision.
"The players gave me so many reasons to keep believing in the team - for their commitment, for their desire, for their hunger to have a great season. My job is not over here."

It may well be completely meaningless but it's certainly more appealing than 'we'd love to manage Napoli'.TB deserves a manager who comes out with comments like Alonso has

It is us, the fans who owe Bloom.
De Zerbi has made comments about how proud he is to manager this side and group of players in most press conferences.
De Zerbi is young and ambitious. In his eyes, he's given us a 6th place finish, but then not been adequately backed to improve on that despite in that time the club having recouped something like nearly a hundred million quid more than they've spent. I am not sure what planet people are on when they think managers should be desperate to stay at a club that's seemingly happy to finish 10th. Some will be, great. But others have had a taste of Europe and want more. You don't get that with a squad lacking im wide options and depth in the middle of the park, that is topped up by a number of senior players who can barely manage playing 90 mins twice a month, let alone twice a week.

I agree with that with the exception of the words ‘ensures’ and ‘inevitable’.

If I were RDZ I’m not sure I’d want to try to follow Klopp, I think I’d stay here and wait for another manager or two to fail there first. The next manager of Liverpool is is going to very quickly find out the meaning of ‘fickle fans’, the pressure/spotlight is going to be ridiculous.
Exactly, life IS easier at Brighton!
Agree worst option for him. But he would take it if offered of course
It doesn’t seem to be the majority view on here but if RDZ goes in the summer my contempt for him will be far greater than anything I ever aimed at Potter.
Potter did three full seasons with us, he left us sitting in a Champions League spot into his fourth season.
RDZ for all his success won’t have even done two seasons with us if he left in the summer. That for me is totally unacceptable. He would jump right to the top of my snake list.
