Topic: Klopp leaving at end of the season * - keep your conspiracy theories to yourself

[meady1981]

O

Of course, im just speculating as it's extremely weird timing.

Would you rather Klopp told you, or some dick head from the Daily Mail

[mkferdy]

He wasn’t joking when he said her wouldn’t be part of a Liverpool fly on the wall documentary. You have to think they have someone lined up, especially with other coaches leaving aswell.

[Crosby Nick]

Stuck on a work call which I need to hurry up and finish so I can have a good old ugly cry.

[Fiasco]

He told the club in November but it being announced today indicates that we have a replacement lined up and it will be announced today.

That would be a lot to process! But in reality it does make sense, the longer the replacement gets left to announce or even be appointed the more speculation mounts and the circus will just continue (for want of a better word).

Fucking hell. I think we all knew it would be in the next couple of years, but when it hits you like this. Gutted.

[Wabaloolah]

I think the timing is because of the News breaking in the last few days about the behind the scenes TV series.

Klopp is on record as saying if it happened he would leave. So it would almost certainly come up in a press conference and Klopp is just too honest to lie about it.

was thinking that myself but if that is the case wouldn't he say that was the reason for doing it. Sounds from his interview that he told the club he was stepping down in November.

It could be a coincidence but I'm sure it will come out if it was the reason

[Max_powers]

Shocked to hear this. Just feel sad right now knowing this is going to end.

[Chris~]

When the video came up on Twitter and started playing I genuinely thought he was going to announce he was signing a new deal so it was pretty devastating the turn it took

[Redley]

News Conference expected at 3pm

Is that legit or just people speculating? Or just the normal press conference for a weekend game?

[Claire.]

Thanks, tears started immediately.

Fucking hell.

I'm glad he's done that, it's good to hear it from him and helps to accept it. Now it's just about making sure we play our part in giving the team all the support so Kloppo gets a lovely send off in May.

[lfc_col]

I cant take this in gutting news

Or maybe that talk has come about after he announced he would leave and the wheels have been put in motion for the documentary after Jurgen is gone.


Jurgen said he has lost the energy he wants to put in. I’ll believe him. he is an absolute role model and hero for all of us, in football and life.

[Red Beret]

I've a bad feeling this has something to do with the club being bought out by the Qatar cartel and Jurgen refusing to work under them. If that's the case im done supporting this club.

Nah. A consortium led by Steven Gerrard is about to buy the club where he will become owner and manager, and it'll just be a massive coincidence that his money is coming from a Saudi investment company that is in no way related to the Saudi royal family, or Newcastle.

[Cu Chulainn]

Can't believe it.   :'(

[ABJ]

The day that none of us ever wanted to see is here, gutted beyond belief  :'(

[redgriffin73]

Cannot deal with this. Absolutely heartbroken.

[Fiasco]

It isn't just Klopp, it is the change. And how everything relates to him. He's the root of it all. The players, the style, the work ethic, everything. It all changes. People don't process change well understandably.

[MNAA]

Personally devastated but having listened to his interview, completely understood and very respectful of his decision and the timing to make this public. Thank you so much Jurgen for everything that you have given to us fans and the club. Thank you for the absolute pride and joy that you gave to us after those many years of hurt

Wishing you all the best Jurgen. Let’s finish the season in style and then we shall celebrate you like no other club could. We shall give you the best send off ever and that is a promise …

[Andar]

Whats he achieved. I dont want to talk about it much because this is devestating and i almost dont want to think about a new manager but Alonso hasnt won anything.

What did Guardiola win when joining Barca? What did Mourinho win when joining Porto? What did Klopp win when joining Dortmund?

You look for the best manager. Not the best trophy winner.

If you looking for a trophy winner, who do you want? Zidane? Mourinho? That won't exactly work out.

[jj2005]

Is this how the rest of the country felt when the Queen died?

🤣🤣

You have to take Klopp at his word on this. He deserves that respect.

Plus it would be incredibly stupid to let the best manager in the world walk over some stupid documentary that no one will care about in 2 years.

[Red Ol]

Says in the Guardian piece that he told the owners in November. So wheels have been in motion for a replacement for at least 2 months.

You’d hope.

[Chris~]

Legit, club announced it

You're just making up a scenario that would anger you. He's outlined the reason he's leaving. FSG will still own the club in a decades time.

[Pie Eyed]

Absolutely fucking heartbroken.
I don’t know what else to say, other than “Thank you”.
This feels like Kenny all over again.

[paulrazor]

I cant even start to say what I think

I am gutted

I have no other words

[PatriotScouser]

Devastated. Gutted. Thankful for the memories.

A mixture of emotions. I'm at a loss for words really.

[rawcusk8]

Oh dear Lord, I’m devastated.

We knew this day would come and dreaded it but to be sprung upon us like this is shocking. But if there is one man that deserves to do what he wants and how he wants it Jurgen, love the man to bits.. I’m heartbroken but respect his wishes.

[AndyInVA]

He said he's having at least a year off, he thinks he won't like just sitting around, but he also said he's never had that in his life so he doesn't know.

Also said he'd never manage another club in the PL.

Didn't his wife persuade him to stay on last year.

I don't blame the guy at all, looks like an exhausting job.

Sad to see him leave but happy it is for the right reasons and am happy for the great memories



Shame Stevie just signed a new contract at his club (that is a joke by the way)

[Barneylfc∗]

Sorry I did watch the interview. I understand all his reasonings but I’m surprised he didn’t push himself through to savour one last full season attacking on all fronts at the absolute highest level. Maybe bizarre was the wrong choice of word, but the end of his contract seemed a natural opportunity to part ways.

I’ll certainly be taking a lesser interest in things after Jurgen’s gone. It remains to be seen where my investment goes after that.

Klopp - "I've got nothing left to give."

SenorGarcia - "Give me more"

[Claire.]

Shocked to hear this. Just feel sad right now knowing this is going to end.

Look at this way, would you rather he took us into a new season and then regretted it and walked away? This is best for everyone, the club can prepare and he's still in it 100%.

I know it's shit, but we have him until the end of the season, let's make it memorable.

[meady1981]

A couple of years into his reign, I watched a youtube of his final day at Dortmund and it was fucking devastating to watch. I knew one day it would happen here, no matter how long he stayed for. So I tried to come to terms with the fact it will happen, Im just glad its on a high, not on a whimper. Better to burn out than fade away when you're a great human being, let alone manager. I'm more sad about the character going than how we'll pay football again.

[stoa]

He has done it all. The Barcelona game, winning all sorts of silverware, some of the most dramatic matches, great nights at Anfield. He doesn't NEED to keep pushing himself to experience stuff he already has experienced. That's basically what he's saying in the interview.

[PaulKS]

De Zerbi would be my pick

Must be joking

[darragh85]

I think that's end for me regarding football. Klopp and this liverpool team were the only thing keeping me interested.

The worst thing about it is that we didnt achieve what we deserved. We had great success but we were cheated out of more.

[Tony19:6]

I absolutely adore Klopp, but unfortunately this was going to happen one day.

The club have known since November and will have been working on a succession plan since then (if not before).

Im hoping its Xabi, Ancelotti has just signed an extension at Real so maybe they knew his preference ?

Klopp takes the German job after the Euros when Nagelsmann's contract is up?? All very easy this stuff isn't it ?

At the end of the day we are Liverpool FC and we move forward.

I just hope we build the great man a statue or name one of the other stands after him, he deserves it 

Danke Jurgen.

[jizzspunk]

Wolves @ home again on the Final day
Is it 3rd time lucky and Fate at hand here? 🏆🤞

Ah fuck, here we go. Was wondering how long it would take you 

[RobbieRedman]

Was always going to be a horrible moment no matter when it was going to be announced.

Just grateful we've enjoyed some of the best moments ever with him and hopefully a few more to come.

[Bobsackamano]

Says in the Guardian piece that he told the owners in November. So wheels have been in motion for a replacement for at least 2 months.

They will have everything sorted on the replacement front already, sets in motion one big heave ho from everyone to make this season the best it possibly can be. Gonna be a special next 4 months, we should revel in it.

[Fiasco]

He'll be back in 3 years when we need a caretaker for 6 months when Stevie has won one game in 10 and we're in the relegation zone. Don't worry
