Jurgen Klopp Sack Watch

As disgraceful as the officials were, I’ve got my popcorn and front row seat for Klopp to find something to moan about.
 
Hoofball FC now adding 1970s Leeds-style tackling to their repertoire.

What a horrible shower.

They are absolutely shite to watch yet nobody in the media will dare say it. Instead we get wall-to-wall Scouse-fellating on a daily basis. I wonder who’ll be the first pundit to break ranks and rightfully call this shit for what it is?
 
Other managers need to start applying pressure to referees, Liverpool get too many favourable decisions, they've got so brazen they're actively endangering opposition players. Vile team.

And ironically it was an ex liverpool last night intentionally trying to injure our players last night as well
 
I can see him quitting and citing burnout basically. It feels like he either stays and stagnates like Wenger at Arsenal or moves on for a fresh challenge like Guardiola does.

7 years is pretty long in terms of the modern football manager lifespans. He’s won everything there and I don’t think he’s got the desire to do it all over again under the same club. Ferguson is like the exception to the rule.
 
He usually does. Probably will go to another ‘underdog’ club after a sabbatical, where the expectations aren’t so high.
An underdog that will let him spend spend spend

I think so, I think he’ll quit citing he’s taken them as far as he can and now someone else can reignite them

He isn’t going to quit and miss out on the biggest pay day of his professional career. People need to stop painting Klopp as the patron saint of footballing morals. He was probably fired from Dortmund but they let him phrase his exit after what he won while at the club. No one just quits when there’s millions on the table and all you need is the guy on the other side of the table to say “this isn’t working out”.

I’m not painting him that way, I happen to think he’s a quitter, whines when things don’t go his way
 
I kinda hope they appoint/promote Pep Lijnders if Klopp left. It says something when a lot of Liverpool fans think he’s a douche, when he went on a mini tour about his book among other things.

He did quit both the Mainz and the Dortmund job. You might speculate that he got kind of a graceful exit granted by Dortmund, but he definitely wasn't fired in Mainz.

Puts Fergie's longevity even more sharply into focus. Not anyone can take a highly successful side, gut it, and reinvent it again. I don't think even Pep is up to the task with City.

My level of respect for Klopp will increase tenfold if he sticks around and rebuilds after the Mane, Salah, Firmino, Fabinho, VVD era. Some of the pieces are there (Robertson, TAA, Alisson, Diaz, potentially Nunez if he ever comes good). The midfield is a trainwreck though and it's hard to imagine they'll find pieces that will fit perfectly there.

Pep's already done/doing it with City, I'd say. Kompany, Aguero, Silva, Fernandinho, Sterling etc formed the backbone of their past few titles and they're no longer at the club.

If they get some billionaire state take over in the summer it could rescue him.
But then they just spent £120-130m on 2 strikers instead of addressing the midfield with that money. So who knows.

Is TAA actually a piece in the sense you mean though?
This season feels like he's utterly been found out. Subbed again today before 60.

It's not like he'll struggle to find another job, he could potentially get more money somewhere else.

I wonder if he fancies managing a club with real financial backing like Real Madrid. He seems to be really frustrated with all the spending by other clubs, and maybe it's time for him to manage clubs like Real or Bayern where he can go for everything year in year out.

Anyway, I think he might wait to see what the new club owners will be like.

But he didn't bring them all in, then rebuild once he had them worn out. They were all brought in by someone else.

Fergie built a squad and won, then changed the squad and won. Multiple times.

Klopp built that Liverpool team and it's now time to refresh. Can he do it?
 
I can't believe how much of a pass he gets from their fans. RAWK especially is hilariously deluded (as it always is, to be fair).

Any time they play poorly, have a bad result and tactically look all over the place, it's always the owners fault. It's the crap players fault. What they never fail to take into account is that despite those things, he still has a far better squad than the teams he's dropping points to/being eliminated by. Brighton, Leeds, Brentford, Nottingham Forest, these teams don't have the luxury of guys like Salah, van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold, Robertson, Thiago, Alisson et al.
