Liverpool Fans Go into Overdrive as Club Deny Carlo Ancelotti Links

Liverpool fans were sent scrambling for their keyboards as the club officially denied rumours of an approach for former Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti on Wednesday.

"

Liverpool could not be any firmer this morning. The club is adamant there has been no approach to Carlo Ancelotti.

What made the denial so interesting was that the club felt no need to comment on weeks of rumours concerning Jurgen Klopp, yet were quick into action once Ancelotti talk started to circulate.

The distinction was not lost on a number of Liverpool fans...

"

The Klopp talk has been going on for months and hardly anyone has said anything about Ancelotti but the club felt the need to comment...😏

Klopp is linked repeatedly for weeks. No comment from FSG. Ancelotti is linked. A denial of any talks. Hmm.

Do people not think it's strange that FSG have denied Ancelotti after a number of hrs yet were silent on Klopp? Something may be happening.

"

Klopp rumour for months, FSG say nothing. One article on Ancelotti & LFC firmly deny it the next day. Something is brewing #AncelottiLFC

"

But why come out and formally deny it? Klopp rumours have been ignored for weeks? One day of Ancelotti and suddenly FSG speak? Don't get it.

Some fans seemed pretty excited by the possibility of Ancelotti taking over at Anfield...

I personally believe Ancelotti will be better for Liverpool than Klopp, right now

Would genuinely prefer Ancelotti to Klopp if Liverpool were to sack Rodgers

While others seemed more keen on Klopp...

Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool would be a good Fit

Whatever the truth behind the rumours, current incumbent Brendan Rodgers is sure to be feeling the pressure...
