Klopp faces chop as Liverpool look set for drop
Klopp faces chop as Liverpool look set for drop
Let him go there, he had a Rodgersesque boom bust cycle with Dortmund, perfect for them, build them up so they think they're invincible and then relegation battle the next year..
What has Rodgers archieved? Almost a premiership with an underdog and getting humilated in the Champions League the season after.
What has Klopp archieved? Back to back Bundesliga titles, a double and a Champions League final, beating teams like Real Madrid and Bayern back to back and a team which were playing the most exciting football in whole europe... with an underdog and probably not even half the budget Liverpool has had.
Well yeah, Klopp had an 'Rodgersesque' boom bust cycle.
Umm, no.he got sacked from Dortmund didn't he?

Umm, no.
Mutual consent for a separation.
Was edging relegation for most of last season. Ended up the season ok, finishing 7th in the league and getting to the cup final.What was that for? What went wrong?
It's certainly going to be an irritating dynamic on this forum having a manager who so many fawn over in charge of our arch rivals while we have a manager half our fans can't seem to stand.
Two things are likely if Klopp goes to Liverpool:
- The endless Caf love-in for him will finally stop, he'll become a figure of resentment from United fans within a year.
- He will never manage United.
Will the love-in stop? Or will some people constantly compare LVG unfavourably to Klopp in a way that makes me want to repeatedly bash my head off a wall? I suspect I know the answer....
You'd imagine Liverpool could attract some quality from Germany if Klopp takes over. Reus, Hummels et al
Guardian comment:
They said no to United and renewed their commitment to Dortmund. What kind of disillusioned person would believe Klopp can sign such players with Liverpool if they already said no to us?
Could the manager have been the deciding factor? They would know of him.
from Dortmund to Liverpool isn't exactly an upgrade so no.. Reus has won feck all with Dortmund, if he wanted to leave, he would choose some club that likely challenging for the titles, Real Madrid, Barca, PSG, Bayern and the like ...Could the manager have been the deciding factor? They would know of him.
I agree that Jürgen thrives more on building rather than maintaining or refining, and that he prefers a history-rich club like Liverpool to Chelsea or City. Generally speaking, I believe it would very much matter to him how much club officials buy into his idea of football and would not dare to mess with him about it.dortmund supporter here. i could very well see this happening. i'd in fact say that klopp would rather be tempted to manage a prestigious, yet struggling club like liverpool over a club like city/chelsea or probably even united, tbh, as it would be more...ambitious!? liverpool and dortmund are also somewhat alike, with regards to fandom, tradition, potential...
i for one had always seen him as the designated successor to wenger tho
Implies to me that the Guardian is not necessarily close to Klopp or his former players. There's only one scenario in which Reus or Hummels would consider a second spell with Klopp in the very soon future: If he accidentally ends up at the (prestigious) club they had planned to join anyway. They'd join those despite Klopp being at the helm, not because of him.Guardian comment:
Why? I thought players generally enjoyed working with him and liked him as a manager.Implies to me that the Guardian is not necessarily close to Klopp or his former players.

If you need five quality players picking up your slack in order for you to not look like a liability, you're not a decent defender.
Many do but not all or not enough to follow him wherever he goes.Why? I thought players generally enjoyed working with him and liked him as a manager.
- He will never manage United.
Can you explain with some points as to why it will never happen?While Liverpool still has the football structure FSG introduced, we can rest assured that no manager will ever be a success there.

The transfer committee thingy? Why is that? It's pretty much a continental structure. Southampton has almost a similar model and they have been doing pretty well.
Also, BR has mentioned many times before that he has the final say when it comes to transfers, so it is just silly to blame his failures on the TC.

The problem with your other post was that it's just nonsense that he had much better stuff to work with when he came to Dortmund. What was insane wasn't what he had, but what he created there out of practically nothing. Dortmund had finished in 13th place before he took over, for once. He then proceeded to build the team and managed to identify lots of foreign talent that he brought in for cheap (apart from a few players they brought through their ranks): Kagawa, Subotic, Piszczek, Kuba, Barrios, Lewandowski (none of which are products of the german youth system) and also brought in Hummels from Bayern for a pretty high fee for a then young unproven CB.
Compared to Dortmund in 2008, Liverpool have a great squad and huge funds. The prerequisites for success are much better at Liverpool, at least. Doesn't mean he will succeed, of course.
I'm desperate, I'm panicking. I have to try and find something negative to say because Klopp is a great manager and the thought of him being at Liverpool is worrying. Why can't they just hire Paul Lambert instead?!He took Piszczek who was one of the least promising top division forwards in Poland and was actually awful for Hertha Berlin and made him one of top 5 right backs in Europe. He doesn't even need top talent to work with, he will get the best out of what he has.
A terrific manager and exactly what Liverpool need. Will stick around for 8-10 years too if he enjoys it there and he could win them the league. There isn't much quality competition in England and good manager can make a whole world of difference.

Funny reply. I expected some kind of explaining why no manager could extract anything out of the current structure.Can you explain with some points how it's been successful since its introduction? It won't take you very long.
