The question to Jurgen Klopp - a manager who has just committed to four more years at Anfield - was blunt to the point of being rude: “Do you believe Steven Gerrard will be the next Liverpool manager?”
Even as the subject was raised, Klopp began chortling…his humour no doubt provoked by a pre-press conference prediction the question in that exact form was coming. Initially he was asked if it was possible.
Of course he thought it would be possible. Because it is possible. Nothing in football is impossible was his implication, in the hope of swiftly moving on from the subject.
