Topic: Jürgen Klopp

[Son of Spion]

They won’t sack him because they know that he’ll sort things out. Some journalists are talking about it as it gets them their 5 minutes of fame. Other fans are talking about it as they know that Klopp is world class. Some of our fans may be talking about it simply because they are pricks.

Klopp isn’t going anywhere.

We’ve had a very unfortunate run of injuries which is nobody’s fault. We haven’t refreshed the squad enough and so our midfield is not good enough to compete. Klopp will get the best out of the squad but he now needs help from the owners and to bring in more good players.

You've pretty much nailed it there. Klopp is world class. The best there is for me.

'Journalists' are doing what they love to do these days. Namely, create the news rather than report the news. They crave clicks and attention, and will spout any bollocks in order to get it. Many are little more than parasites.

Opposition are terrified of Klopp and even more terrified that we have him. They are just hoping to get a wave of opinion against him in order to disrupt us further. It's desperation on their part.

To be honest, I've not heard a single, Liverpool fan even mention Klopp being sacked. It's a preposterous notion. I, thankfully, don't have Twitter or Facebook though.

There's probably only one club in world football that wouldn't want him straight in as their own manager right now, and they are a political entity rather than a football club anyway.

[Son of Spion]

The ones on Twitter always have Nigeria flags against their names as well.

No disrespect to the Zambians.

Not having Twitter and Facebook the worst ones I get to see are the ones that use that little comments box you see on foreign streams of our games.

I lose the will to live after about 30 seconds.

It’s funny listening to rival fans wanting Klopp gone, people like cundy calling for it

Quick sack him before he sorts it 😂😂😂

It's absolutely ridiculous.

They're saying it knowing full well it won't happen. The ironic thing is, if it did happen they'd all be slating the club for lacking class, lacking patience etc and it would be seen as another example of the fickle nature of modern football and modern life.

Whichever way the cookie crumbles, it gives these parasites leeching a living out of the game the opportunity to talk utter shite.

There is no better way of baiting fans of all football clubs than mentioning the name Klopp.

Well, yeah, there is that. But surely there can't be many more of those type of potential owners left.

FSG model is to sell a stake to strategic partners who can help the group grow

Lebron James / Springfield
Gerry Cardinale / Redbird

if the right partner was available they could raise funds if required, it’s not required though since they have the money and it remains to be see if the valuation is going to stay where it
is after this season

[ScouserAtHeart]

Well Norway does have an investment fund...

[Stockholm Syndrome]

I always laugh at these pricks that have these Klopp out shouts.

Who is supposed to replace him then? And it is always some 2-bit, shite manager not fit to clean Jurgen's glasses.

The name I've heard shouted, which shows you how poor the depth of option are, is Thomas Frank.

From rival fans (Cundy) and Twitter knobheads like, but yeah that's near enough the quality you are looking at

Yeah, I know that. I'm talking about those Liverpool 'fans' who want FSG to sell the club.

[paisley1977]

Apart from FSG there was nobody willing to buy us off Hicks and Gillett for £300m so $4.45B we are stuck with them.

[Stockholm Syndrome]

Why would we be even considering other managers?

Utter bullshit.

Not saying we are, we aren't at all. But when talking about people to replace Klopp, the Twitter freaks and the opposition fans have managers of the calibre of Frank as to who can replace him, the quality of bullshit they can make is that poor

[StL-Dono]

You've pretty much nailed it there. Klopp is world class. The best there is for me.

I would just add to this idea that not only do I feel JK is world class in terms of football management, but he just seems world class in every other way as well.  He seems to represent the idea of LFC to a tee.  I love that he's a great coach and leader of football players, but he is a model of a good citizen as well. 

Maybe to some people all that matters is to win the most possible football matches and trophies as possible.  I get that that is important. 

But JK brings both the ability to compete on the pitch at the highest level while also being an individual we as fans can be proud to have as manager.

Looking at those countries that have jumped on the F1 bandwagon as part of their sports washing program both Aberzaijan and Bahrain haven’t got a football club yet. And Kuwait haven’t even started so there’s hope yet.

[Mighty_Red]

The wort thing anybody can do is bring quotes from twats like Cundy onto RAWK. I've seen the graphics comparing our start with Chelsea's completely ignoring their results were influenced by the instability at the club and a new owner wanting to stamp his authority on the club.

Simply, the headlines that would otherwise have been reserved for Utd have gone to us and Chelsea. It's just a game the papers and pundits like to play.

[mercurial]

We can blame owners, spending, not buying a midfielder etc but the last few games we lost is not due to those reasons. Forget the results, we have played better when we had a worse team in 16-17 and 17-18. The performance of the current set of players is to blame and that’s on the football side of things not the business aspects or transfer aspects. Could we have put out a better team? Of course yes, we soend more we get better players. That doesn’t translate to a better performance always. So let’s look at what we have as a team as of now. I don’t think owner’s ability to spend has any bearing on the performances we saw. The team should have performed better.

I am also confident that Klopp understands football better than any of us. So he will find solutions to this. The performance issue is squarely on the players and coaches. They need to find solutions. Given the levels we have seen the team perform, I am more surprised at the performance or maybe taken aback at the lack of effort. I think the break will do all of us good, Players and fans alike. It’s possible we tried some tweaks in our plays which has backfired. Klopp and the coaches deserve that leeway to experiment. Worst case we lose the league. I am sure we will fix our issue by the next CL match. I am confident we will return to more acceptable levels of performance to qualify the group.

We can start blaming the owners for the next transfer window again, it’s fun to read but frankly they haven’t done too badly so far. We don’t have a arab sheikh or a mafia boss but that’s fine with me. We have a new stadium with 60k capacity, not bad as we were looking at going into administration as a club 10 years back. We are stable, good income, great infrastructure in place, football operations are enviable. Those are the facts. Al may spin up many theories but compared to the top 10 teams we are doing pretty good. The last 6 games has nothing to do with owners. Even if thiago was dancing a tango at Napoli, we might well have ended with similar results as almost everyone else was below par. If we have to look at conspiracy theories, I suggest we investigate who is spiking our asthma sprays with marijuana as players  look spaced out.

I couldn't agree more.

He's the complete article. Clough and Ferguson were great managers, but quite repugnant as people. I'm sure there are other examples too. But Klopp has it all. He's an elite football manager, but also a top class human being too. Fantastic with people. Humble and respectful. Honest and self aware.

The man fits this club like a glove. I'd go to war with this man. You'd have his back, because you know damn well he'll have yours too.

Though so far the state owners have only bought clubs for peanuts and then ploughed money in. I don't think a regime has yet paid anything like the amounts FSG would want. Which is a good thing.

Well Norway does have an investment fund...

The Norwegians are cool, but the reason they have such a healthy sovereign wealth fund is that they don't blow it on dumbass money-drain purchases like PL football clubs

[markedasred]

The Oil money. Funnily enough, the British offshore oil business was worth about the same, having estimates of similar amounts of resources to it. Margaret Thatcher very kindly sold ours for us to her husbands mates. All these decades on, it's interesting to compare the state pensions of the two countries, around £18k for them, £7376 here. despite us having way more other resources, seems like nationalising the oil revenues was quite sensible.

Yep. He's everything I want in a football manager and a human being. Even if we were relegated I'd still want him as manager.

Nail on head.
Said this a while ago but people who don't look beyond the money should be asking themselves why the Norwegians don't feel the need to "invest" in football.

I mean they could not even if they wanted to. That wealth fund is not managed by some singular entity like an Emir or sheik and Norway has no need for these dick measuring exercises of the likes of Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Qatar.

I understand that. But as you said it's the fact there's no need for them to do it that's the key thing.

Klopp and sack should never be mentioned in the same sentence, like seriously.

I find it hard to believe that its a thing.

Modern sport, journalism, and just modern journalism in general, is disgusting. Fuckin sickens me.
