Listening to this podcast has helped heal the disappointment a bit. That he learned from his Dortmund days and sought to leave Liverpool in a far better state, shows how much he cares for our club. Of course, if he changed his mind, I’d be overjoyed but I understand. He delivered on his promises and made us happy. Liverpool FC is a much better place as a result of him being our manager.

Fantastic job by The Athletic here. I’ve listened to a lot of (Klopp exit) ‘takes’ and this was by far the best informed and comprehensive. The main takeaway I have is that as a Liverpool supporter we now (may) have to face our Ferguson moment and I hadn’t quite realised how intimidating that is

@johnmichaelwilson As I see it, Ferguson planned to go in 2012 with the team at its peak. City won it, so he hung on for a year to win again. Buying Van Persie was a risk and short-term thinking, but it got them the title. That year should have been a rebuild, but he kept the team together. Then he scarpered. Nobody could have succeeded with what Moyes inherited. It's like Liverpool 2022-2023 - too many players who were just knackered. Anyway, whatever happens, we back Liverpool FC. YNWA Alex

4 ай бұрын

I’d be amazed if they have agreed it and it’s Xabi tbh

There is now an ensuing Root and Branch change at the club,which puts FSG under unprecedented pressure from the stability of Klopp’s Tenure,the chasm left by him will be a wide as the Mersey, which will inevitably create uncertainty and a potential fall out with certain players,what is absolutely crucial in the short term though,is how we navigate our way to the end of May as a club,and a team,and what that might bring?

Managers who could replace Klopp at Liverpool Marco Silva ,Thiago,Zidane,Roberto De Zerbi,Postocoglou,Hansi Flick,Steven Gerrard,Jose Mourinho,Antonio Conte,Luciano Spaletti,Thomas Frank,and Xabi Alonso.

I'm sad, I've been sad since I heard it. There is an underlying anger, but that partis also the part of me that understands the decision. In the end, this flurry boils down to me being thankful. We wouldn't be close to where we are now without him.

Klopp will be the next England manager, Stevie G will be his No. 2. Alonso will the liverpool manager.

Never really cared about Managers before Klopp. Man's like a shining beacon in darkness. He's single-handedly turned 3 decades worth of deterioration in the squad into "Never been better than this" vigour. I am sad that he leaves soon, but happy that no one will forget "The Normal One".

Top LAD Proper Klopper 💪😉👍

The club's hierarchy is more important than any manager. No matter whos in charge, you live and die by the scouting and negotiating set up in this day and age.

If they can get Alonso, this will turn out a blessing in disguise. They will be series champions in both premier and champions league. But they have to get Alonso.

When all is said and done, none of you have a clue about what happens inside the club. You didn't see Jurgen resigning. You won't see the future either.

Why does everyone in the mainstream media suddenly use the term rock'n roll football? Originally Jürgen used 'heavy metal' football to say that he wasn't like Arsene Wenger's being a conductor of classical music, with lots of tactical tweaks and intricacy.

No1 will ever have a coach that connects with a club like klopp again maybe someone athletico is the closest 2 men you think of when you hear liverpool and athletico crazy never mind the honours there great and important but it's the journeys the passion the honesty everything

Real question should be: what followed after Fergie?

I was putting up a double shelve when I glanced at my phone is shock I wonder what I’ll be doing when pep announces

One things for sure FSG are Never gonna find another manager who can work under the financial constraints like Jürgen did! So they have to make a decision? Back the next manager properly or sell the club! Because I don’t believe there is a manager out there who can work with the budget jurgen worked with and consistently make top 4, let alone challenge for honours😄

@MrGts92

4 ай бұрын

Financial constraints, yet not mention how good the scouting department is, and how good they are at negotiating. Just as important as Klopp. Like to see how Klopp would've done if he had to still rely on a Moreno, Karius or Keita.

I think we all know why he decided to leave before his contract runs out. He's tired, he's running out of energy, and so far he's told us the truth. But why is he tired, why is he running out of energy? Because he isn't getting the backing he deserves by the owners. Klopp isn't the manager to go down on his knees and beg the owners to show some ambitions in the transfer market. Klopp isn't going to say anything at all, he'll just observe the situation, nod his head and plot his exit in silence. So there's FSG, and then you have City with Pepe Guardiola. Klopp's biggest rival. This might be the last chance Klopp has to get one up on Pep before his contract is over, so instead of staying 1-2 more seasons and perhaps win no more trophies he wants to leave with a trophy in his hand without giving Pep the change to get revenge. It's a bit cowardly if you ask me, but that's what's going on. It's the lack of initiative and ambition from FSG and worry of leaving Liverpool while watching Pep lift yet another trophy

Postecoglu has the least risk, he would hold the city and the squad united and at their best. Xabi, highest chance of a decade long success, tactical mind to take on arteta and guardiola If FSG want to go in a whole new direction for the next decade, they could get the best sporting director possible (dont know who) and nagelsmann as coach. He might lose faith with klopp era players but could build a machine in the long term. Largest risk of the three options

Would be funny if he took the England Job rather than the German one.

Jurgen will win the European and World Cup with Germany and be remembered as the manager who won it all

im a lifelong liverpool fan and i totally appreciate and love Jurgen - but we have to also be pragmatic and say that at times, i expected us to do better down the stretch - we lost two leagues by a point or two and out of three champions league finals only won 1 of them... 4 cups in nearly 9 years isnt good enough really BUT thats not the proper story of it i know that! I feel like his words are hollow after only last year saying it was "his club" and hes "where he wants to be" - 12 months later hes throwing the towel in and fckning off and all the backroom staff are going with him. I hope the club doesnt make the same mistake and revert back to that whole "transfer committee" when Brendan Rodgers was in charge, they absolutely shafted him - sold his best players and the transfer committee overruled him on who he wanted to signed and replaced Luis Suarez with Balotelli ffs! Some of the best stuff iv seen us play even now has been during the Rodgers era - he also signed some brilliant players for us which people forget... Lallana, Coutinho, Firmino all came under Rodgers, let the next manager come in and do it his way and support them the way we have Klopp!
