Thanks for your reply. And its certainly not without some merit. Klopp is a great manager, more advanced than OGS right now, and I would love to have him leading our club. But we don't have him, and never will, so measuring up to his greatness is a moot point.
However there are a numbers of areas where I think you have vastly exaggerated his achievements.
Firstly, Klopp joined Liverpool in late 2015, after being courted, on a full contract, fully briefed on his exact task. Ole got a random call out of the blue in mid 2018, had only 48 hours to get to Manchester and was told he was appointed 'just for a few months and to only improve team and fan morale'. He only really had time to plan for his permanent job since May 2018. Klopp is now into his 5th year in the job whereas Ole has completed 1.5 seasons. So Klopp has had 3 more years to experiment, coach and mould his team according to his ideas.
Secondly, Klopp has brought in more than 25 first team squad level players into Liverpool at the cost of around £600m. He was also allowed to release over 30 'deadwood' first team squad level players. Some of those were players he bought, that didn't work out, and he was allowed to try again. Klopp didn't come up with his record breaking 1st XI at his first attempt, it took 4 years of trial and error. He has been allowed to totally change the entire squad so it fits his exact purposes, and credit to him, has produced an amazing team.
Thirdly, I really disagree with your assessment of the players Klopp signed. SAF thought Henderson was talented and scouted him, Milner is renowned world class water carrier, Robertson was very highly rated, Salah was loved at Roma, VVD and Alyson had many elite admirers, Redcafe had a lengthy discussion on Mane long before he joined. Sure, none of Klopp's signings were Galatico level like Varane, KdB or Kane, but all were known as good footballers and on the up. Klopp hasn't come close to 'doing a Leicester', which is what you are implying.
OGS inherited a completely disjointed and unbalanced squad. We still dont know the end result of this window but so far he has been allowed to bring in 4 or 5 players and managed to remove 7. In doing so, he has created a first XI that won the most points post lockdown, is capable of holding its own against all top 6 teams and is already one of the most prolific attacking units in world football. His managerial reputation was enough to attract players like Bruno, Maguire and hopefully Sancho to the club, and the vast majority of fans are very happy with his progress so far. our fans also recognise that our squad players are not good enough to rotate with the 1st XI and needs substantial overhaul.
Here's the thing: we all know all of this. All of it. But because some fans dislike Ole (I don't know why), they deliberately ignore it all, and make outlandish demands like Ole win the title now because ... well I'm really not sure why. Likewise OleOUT folk cant ever produce any quantitative facts that he has underperformed and so use unmeasurable and pretentious concepts like 'pattern of play' and blah blah as the rod to criticise him with.
In summary, Klopp is indeed a great manager but it has taken him plenty of cash, patience, trial and error to get to where he has. In comparative terms, Ole is ahead of where Klopp was after 1.5 seasons, and yet started from a more difficult place. But OleOUT wont ever admit his, for reasons they only know and instead indulge in moronic meltdowns every time he loses creating a toxic atmosphere. I mean it's now a meme that this thread gets bounced within seconds of Ole's team losing. I think that's a shame for them because they are missing out on alot of excitement and joy that fans who passionately support Ole are enjoying.
