Seeing Slot being interviewed set me back, not gonna lie.
I will miss Klopp. A lot.
The reality is, club footy is a money game and has been since the 90's. Every club's supporters like to think their team is the greatest "the world has ever seen", but the reality for everyone is success is measured by trophies.
Sadly, the way the game is these days if you don't spend you don't put yourself in a realistic position to lift trophies.
Spending does not guarantee success, true. But without real, consistent spending any success you encounter becomes the exception rather than the norm.
Klopp was a meteor. That once in a generation phenomenon that blazes by, you hitch yourself to the ride, made you live waaay beyond your means and sit at the big table until he's burnt out and you find yourself crashing back down to the realities of modern football.
I know we don't want to admit it, but we're not the favourites for the league or the CL anymore, we haven't been in decades, but Klopp's magic made it a realistic possibility.
Will Slot do more of the same? Could be, dunno.
I'm just tired of the state of the game, where brilliant managers burn themselves out against a horde of financial doped armies that re-generate every summer, while every (rare) big spend we make has our season riding on them.
Constantly re-arranging chairs on the Titanic is no way to exist.
I'll miss the guy.
