I’m in the same boat concerning his need for a break as he looks physically and emotionally drained.
Completely different circumstances I know but look back to how Kenny looked when he resigned after the 4-4.
I’m sad but accepting and looking forward to the next step on our journey.
The thing as well is when you get that level of burn out it'll effect your decision making. Kenny recognised it, Rafa probably had it in his last year as well with all the shit he'd had to deal with.
As i've said a lot, I think Klopp had had enough last season but stuck it out because he didn't want to leave us in the shit, out the CL and needing a total rebuild. He agreed to give it another year and see which is why we had stop gaps like Ibiza Jorge. He's got us back in the CL, started the rebuild, brought more young players through and with the notice period given it's given us a chance to get things sorted off the pitch and in the dugout for the summer and next season.
Managers don't usually leave with a huge send off last game and with things in a good place. Rodgers was sacked. Kenny was sacked last time. Hodgson was sacked. Rafa was sacked. Houllier was sacked. Evans was sacked. Souness was sacked. Kenny left suddenly in the middle of the season which we didn't really recover from through the 90s. We don't want a last season at Dortmund situation, but in a way we had that last season and Klopp has managed to come back from that and get things back on track. 19/20 - great, 20/21 - a lot went wrong, 21/22 - great, 22/23 - a lot went wrong, 23/24 - a lot better. Klopp not being as fresh probably part of those two recent bad seasons that followed good ones. We wouldn't want another one.
