Fenway Sports Group had a big decision to make in 2015. Owning Liverpool for around five years, the Reds struggled to succeed on the pitch and Brendan Rodgers had just been sacked.
FSG needed to find a replacement for the Northern Irishman who could bring important silverware to Anfield. After analyzing the landscape of potential options, three names topped Liverpool’s shortlist in Jurgen Klopp, Carlo Ancelotti and Eddie Howe.
Candidates were vetted behind the scenes and after much deliberation, Klopp was given the role and the rest is history. Over his seven and a half years to date, the German manager has won virtually every trophie, from the Premier League to the Champions League and everything in between.
Klopp was an undeniable success. His love for the club has grown over the years and seems to be perfect. The 55-year-old is in many ways a foreign Scouser and has even been awarded the Freedom of the City of Liverpool as a reward for his outstanding work with the Reds.
Now regarded as one of the best in the world at what they do, the FSG has no regrets about the management decision they made in 2015, but this weekend they will receive a reminder of what could have been. Klopp’s men will travel to Tyneside on Saturday afternoon, with a high-profile duel against Newcastle United on the agenda. The Toons are currently enjoying a memorable campaign and are fourth in the Premier League, with next season’s Champions League looking like a real possibility.

Strangely, Howe is the man at the helm, competing with Klopp for the Liverpool job almost a decade ago. English was named by the Magpies in late 2021 and has made a number of notable improvements. Newcastle United have scored fewer goals than any other top-flight English side so far this season, and by some margin. They conceded just 13 goals, putting them five goals ahead of second-best Arsenal, who are currently flying high in the Premier League.
The Toon has shown energy, desire, teamwork and struggle since Howe took charge, and many of his players are better than they were before his appointment, particularly Joelinton and Miguel Almirón.
The Magpies will be a severe test for Liverpool this weekend, but the very fact that Howe is doing well casts a positive light on the FSG and their ability to identify managers who are better than average.
In general, managers tend to come and go with little impact on form and performances, apart from a short-term upfront boost, but Liverpool look capable of picking the names that exceed their squads’ expectations more than the sum of the numbers. their parts. Rodgers, who has never won a trophy at Anfield, also fits that bill due to his time at Swansea City.
The Reds are lucky Klopp isn’t going anywhere anytime soon – having recently expressed his commitment to the cause – but when he finally leaves Liverpool will do well to find a capable heir to the throne.
Regardless of how much Howe has impressed lately, Klopp hopes to remind him of exactly why the FSG favored his signing in 2015. There’s a reason the latter got the job, and this weekend fans are hoping to see him. .
