I can imgaine that it is the other way round and has to do with players plans for next season. Surely he knows more who is leaving

Classy...
Not everybody can have pearlwhite biters like Brendan. All teeth are beatiful!
Where do you draw the line? Do you consider Barca and Real rivals? Munich or Juve?
@Dante sucks the joy out of any thread and thinks our winning form is down to Wayne Rooney's inspirational speeches. Get out Dante Beiber
Football is irrational. We have no reason to support anyone and take joy from them winning games.
Tuchel is a top, top manager in the making. Don't be surprised if he's on the hitlist to replace LVG when he retires.
I would love to see Tuchel take over. To me it seems like he would be a great evolutionary step for the club. He is tactically more versatile than Klopp and likes to rotate the team which are two traits that I always felt Klopp was lacking a bit. Tuchel might not be as much of a buddy type like Klopp but I think his more distant attitude towards his players might be a needed change for your team as well.
And apart from Tuchel I don't really feel there is a really suitable candidate available right now unless your team decides to go for a risky but promising option like Dirk Schuster.
I'm just thinking about the meltdown there'd be in here had this happened this time last year.
I really want him, too. Why can't Klopp wait for another two years ???
*insert Ando's fave curse word x 3*
On hindsight, sacking Moyes too early was a mistake.
Would make everything a lot smoother indeed! It is always difficult with managers as they are rarely available when you need them.
You must be fun at parties. "As beer drinkers we have no reason to enjoy gin tonics! I feel nothing but disdain for those rival drinks!"
City and Liverpool are our rivals. And anyone around us at the time in the league aiming for the same spots.
Teams outside England aren't really our rivals. We compete with them once every few years for 90-180 minutes. I don't think that's a "rivalry" of any sort. Maybe on the business front, Madrid and barca can be counted as rivals.
I mean, why wouldn't I watch the atletico story last year and not want them to win la liga because of some fake rivalry that Manchester United have with atletico Madrid. It makes pretty much zero sense. I'm glad atletico Madrid won la liga. Stories like that are what football is all about. Is that a small fragment of support? Then that's great.
And they'd have more of each
What has he done/what is it about him that makes him a top manager in the making?
No, I revel in my irrationality. It's amol you should be asking that question.
Football isn't irrational. You're being irrational. We have every reason to watch football and take joy from it. That's why we watch football ffs
that's why I saw the World Cup. It was fecking awesome. United didn't play it in and it still was.Thanks for that, Jaden Smith.
I'm going to be monitoring the cl thread tonight for any obvious displays of joy.
Klopp's Dortmund took the crown from LVG's Bayern despite them having an infinitely smaller budget. In fact that led towards his sacking
That doesn't make him a better manage than lvg. Just makes him the winner of that particular battle.
Could be a good thread idea here
Insignifcant clubs you hate for no actual reason other than they beat us..
Wigan for me. We would have won the league in 2012 if they didnt raise their game.
Anyway.. Klopp. One hit wonder i feel. I expect him to flop hard where ever he goes next. Did not ever want him in charge of us.
He's going to City this summer. No other jobs for him really.
I wonder what he does when he watches Bayern-Dortmund or El Classico? Just curse at both teams whenever they have a good period in the game I guessFootball isn't irrational. You're being irrational. We have every reason to watch football and take joy from it. That's why we watch football ffs
Don't understand the Madrid links, he's not going there. Klopp said himself that he envisions being in the PL because he can speak English and he feels it's important for a manager to know the language of the country he's managing in. That rules out Spain and Italy and PSG. City and Liverpool are obvious links with Tottenham and perhaps Arsenal with an outside shot. City I don't see happening, he's too classy for them. They will no doubt be interested but I think he turns them down. Klopp after what he's endured lately thrives stability and City aren't known for that. My guess is he does indeed take a year off and surveys the landscape again. In the meantime he should do some punditry. His analysis on the game would be wonderful.
Most people who don't support a team would agree. I'm happy to admit my love for United is irrational. I can't rationalise why my emotions are so heavily linked with their fortunes.
It made him a better manager that season. The next season his Dortmund set the record for points. And its more likely to go his way than LVG's if he has the better record
I don't think that they have more quality players and their football club don't have more money, their owners do but with FFP, it's the club money that matter.
Such mixed feelings about this. He was very much my fantasy replacement for Moyes last summer, and even with foreknowledge of Dortmund's subsequent awful season I doubt that would have changed. It really felt like he'd be a match made in heaven for United as a club and for the Premier League.
But LVG is doing brilliantly with us at the moment, and his hard work is starting to bear very promising fruit, so obviously that ship has well and truly sailed. It's probably a good thing for the sanity of our fans (myself included) that this announcement has come now rather than three or four months ago! All the things he's been predicting all season - that we'd start slowly but that once the players really started to get to grips with his ideas a clear system would emerge and we'd start to have some success; and that our injury crisis was caused by his changes to the way we train, but that once the players adapted we'd start to see far fewer injuries - are coming true. He's obviously the right man for the job.
It's a shame that this is how Klopp's Dortmund tenure has ended, but I still think we're all very lucky to have been able to watch the three or four great years of that partnership. Although it was Bayern who battered Barca in that CL semi, it was really Dortmund's success and the manner in which they achieved it, for me, that really put an end to the increasingly stagnant, Barca-dominated period that ended with that double defeat of Spanish teams by German.

Fair enough. But I think there are too many new factors to say right now.
True, they'll have to shift around but I think they'll do that and give him the players he needs. Which by the way, wasnt expensive players when he did it at Dortmund. The kinds of players he needs wont make them stretch FFP - unless the club insist on marquee signings, which could well happen
Tuchel would be the best choice in terms of competence in my book and certainly a change to Klopp´s approach. Paulo Sousa (former Dortmund player and currently Basel coach) and Markus Weinzierl (Augsburg) are two other names, which are brought up right now, but it is most likely Tuchel.
What's this news I hear breaking? Klopp leaving Dortumund. Righty then, No top 4 or FA cup Rodgers OUT. Klopp IN! Initiate Anfield approach now!
Love the telegraph messing up the live commentary of the press conference

I'd love to tell you what Klopp is saying. He is saying a lot. But I can understand precisely none of it. So here's a photo of him pouring some water instead:
12.39
Why can't I speak German???????
12.37
Right we have a slight issue... they are speaking in German and my GCSE in the subject isn't much help. What I can deduce is that the bloke currently speaking (I'm assuming he's the Dortmund chief exec or something) genuinely sounds like someone has died. He's properly choked. Oh he just said "fantastisch". I'm guessing he wasn't describing Klopp's decision to leave the club.
12.34
Klopp has just sat down to face the media...
I can't think of a reason LVG > Klopp based on recent years. If Klopp was available last year he would be the Caf's choice hands down.
Brilliant.In Rodgers we trust. Give him time, he will come good eventually.
Oh dear, the toilet paper seems to have run out at Anfield … again!
He can piss off
