Wengy is just such an odd case at this point.

He is a good 10-15 years older than most managers plus staying at the same club for so long with no breaks is bound to lead to a certain narrowmindedness in terms of playing style, coaching methods etc.
A new manager would bring new ideas to the table and get modern methods in place where they might be missing but they'd likely make different mistakes from Wenger due to lack of his experience (and skills).

Not sure how it's related to your point either. The fans still turned up to Anfield during Hicks and Gillet's tenure, even if it was to shout abuse.

I'm going off of the commentary on RAWK, other fan sites, and the Liverpool reddit. I know there's a big gap between that audience and the more normal match going fans, but I feel like the usual "at least we're not where we were in 2010" sentiments have definitely died down and people seem pissed about the lack of winter transfers. People seem pissed, but admittedly that might just be a tiny number of very loud fans rather than a significant number. I feel like some pundits have felt comfortable going in an anti-Klopp direction too (like Hamann and to a lesser extent, Carragher).

My main point was that I don't know where the breaking point is. Fans get mad about the club but it takes a lot to get them to boycott to the point that owners will respond substantively. Even then, there's usually some fans wiling to take the place of those who decide not to go.

Reminder that all of this started with Arsenal thinking he would be out for a few days.

Insanity. They were asking him if he'd stick with them if they got relegated when he interviewed for the job. Fans are not likely to forgive them for this unless the new manager (I assume they must have lined one up already because otherwise this really would be farcically stupid) turns things 180 immediately.

Their league next match is against a club that drops a lot of points to relegation battlers year in and year out, so maybe this is a stroke of genius.
