As a lifelong Liverpool fan yesterday was an emotional one as we said goodbye to one of the greatest managers in our history, the one and only Kloppo. You could see how much he means to not just his players and the fans, but to every single person involved with the club, from it's billionaire owners to the stewards, the man has made as much of an impact off the pitch as on it. He was quoted when he joined as saying "it's not so important what people think when you come in, it's much more important what people think when you leave", and it's clear to see he couldn't be held in higher regard by most people associated with the club.
So how earth to do you follow someone that has not only delivered amazing results but is loved almost unconditionally! It's no mean feat for Arne Slot (although it certainly gives you a boost when the out going legend starts singing your name to his song!) and it got me thinking how many times people have faced this in the work environment and what you can do if you find yourself taking over from a Company's very own Jurgen!
Just some thoughts...
