Under SAF United gave him full control of everything. Since he left they are restricting their managers responsibilities more and more.
I think it’s a sign of the times really. Big clubs don’t like the idea of 1 person having so much power.
It’s really difficult to predict how Liverpool will cope post Klopp. Can they recruit the right manager, and then also replace key players who hit the ground running against the backdrop of high expectations? It’s a tall order and rarely, if ever, happens.
