England would never appoint a German as manager of the national team.

I can't get my head around why they would announce this mid season. Nothing positive about this for the club. |
I'm pretty sure the general impact of announcing the manager leaving early is that the team falls apart. This is a terrible move for Liverpool. |  |

Maybe to start with, absolute breath of fresh air when he first got here. In more recent times he's done nothing but bitch and moan about every aspect of the game here, and done a lot to undermine its traditions and what's good about it (cups, Christmas games etc).
He's 'only' won the FA Cup and League Cup once, I believe, which isn't great for a club of that size and budget, and has spent his time chipping and undermining and moaning about them more than almost anybody else. Doesn't want a replay when his £800m team somehow fails to knock over Exeter City. Doesn't want the Third Round to be the first week of January. We've now got the fifth round being played in a midweek so him and his precious Prem stars get a week off in Dubai in January which they've griped about for years. We're losing replays, they'll eventually ditch the League Cup altogether in return for a bit of extra Premier League money, we've got U21 teams in the EFL trophy - the cup competitions are part of what makes football in this country great and unique, and Klopp has done more than most from a position of extreme power and influence to chip and chip and chip away at them.
Him and his club are the absolute worst for constantly banging on and on and on about how many domestic games they have to play, particularly over Christmas, and how a 20 team Premier League is too much and there's too many games against idiot scum like Burnley, Sheff Utd and so on. While at the same time chucking their lot in with the European Super League, and the new reformed Champions League which is basically a bloated, money printing machine for the already super rich like them. They're the worst for spending what down time they do have flying all around the world to play games they don't have to on fcking baseball diamonds in the US and Far East. A week before this season that's apparently so hectic Klopp and Liverpool could never possibly cope with it they were playing Man Utd in Bangkok for goodness sake. Absolute fcking hypocrite(s). Any journalist who asks him a difficult question about any of this he basically flips and becomes a complete arshole.
He rightly bangs on about how FFP just doesn't seem to apply to Man City, but never once acknowledges that Liverpool have myriad advantages over 99% of every other club in the world. He's spent nearly £1bn on his team, but all you ever hear from him is how unfair it is that he's got to play West Ham at midday on Saturday when his poor little lambs had a Wednesday night game. With the players and budget he's got you should be beating West Ham if you had to play the game straight after on Thursday morning FFS, get on with it.
I absolutely loved him when he got here and you see him with the fans and in the community and whatever and he's still great. He's also clearly a fcking incredible manager. As said, could be an amazing and transformative option for England. But he's become a pretty joyless misery in more recent years (takes one to know one) and done a fair bit to undermine the traditions of the sport in this country. Perhaps that's a reflection of his mood and energy levels, hence this decision.

Can't stand Liverpool, sanctimonious club and fans. Klopp was a perfect fit, all front. Plays the nice guy card, but you can tell the c*nt in him isn't far from the surface.
In recent times what's really annoyed me about Liverpool 'fans' is the narrative that they've taken on 'oil money', like they haven't got a pot to p*ss in, like they're doing it for all the little clubs.
I work with so many of those so called 'plastic' fans. Worst people to talk to about football, they embody nearly everything I hate about modern football. It's astonishing listening to two Londoners (one a Liverpool fan the other a Man Utd fan) talking about their 'rivalry'. Obviously neither have watched their team live or have any connection to either city or region, but yet they somehow have a deep love for the club. Makes me dislike Liverpool even more than I already do!
To be honest, I have been a bit mean about this at work. After Liverpool won the league, there was some general football talk and a few Liverpool 'fans' were talking about how great it was that 'they' won the league. I agreed with them and said it must feel great for Liverpool fans, I went on about how great it feels to be in the ground to see a last minute winner at Wembley or see your team lift the league title at home - all of which I have seen. I made it very clear that if they haven't experienced that then they don't know how it feels. The pure joy of celebrating with fellow fans in the moment, there is no substitute. Their experience is some c*nt pundit on Sky parroting every cliche under the sun as they watch other people living the moment.
Thankfully it doesn't occupy my thoughts, but when news like this comes up it gives me an opportunity to rant.  |  | | |

I mean as said Dave I don’t really buy that he has been brilliant.
Ultimately Liverpool broke the world transfer record twice, blew €175m on duds, admitted hacking City’s scouting portal yet twice finished outside the top 4 and won nothing in the majority of Klopps seasons.
In the time Klopp has been at Liverpool, he has won as many FA Cups, as many PLs and as many CLs as Chelsea’s revolving door of clowns. |  | | |

Going to be in a whopping minority here but I for one am sad to see him go.
I appreciate that I’m also influenced by my best mate who follows Liverpool around the world so there is that.
I’m also a huge football fan as well as a huge QPR fan but I’ve enjoyed watching Klopps Liverpool play over the years . Also been very noticeable how prickly he had become over the last 2 or 3 years especially . He didn’t do himself many favours but maybe a little was understandable when they have been picked to play lunchtime weekend games for tv over double the amount of the other teams in Europe and when the league orders you to play a cup game the same DAY as you have to play a Club World Cup match !
Playing a weakened team was really not an option .
But anyway I’ll get the tim hat on .
My mate came with me to the recent Cardiff game . He isn’t rushing back 😂 |  | | |

Best manager currently in the Premiership imo. His net spend at Liverpool is less than a third of Guardiola’s. And he inherited a far weaker squad. This was the first XI he picked at the club:
Mignolet
Moreno
Sakho
Skrtel
Clyne
Lucas
Can
Milner
Coutinho
Lallana
Origi
They’d finished 6th the season before he joined, 25 points off city. He’s beaten Ferguson’s record point total in a season a couple of times and been very unlucky to only win one title.
In 2019, Liverpool finished on 97pts with only one loss all season and still finished second because City have created an unfair advantage by making a mockery of FFP.
Agree that he’s bitched and moaned in recent times but that’s because he’s essentially trying to beat a club that have cheated (115 charges etc) to get ahead. I’d be fuming if I was in his shoes. |  | | |

Brilliant post.
He has been really chippy with almost every question put to him in the last few months that Sky have to get Kelly Cates to ask him questions because she's the only one he wouldn't dare patronise or intimidate.
Thoroughly unpleasant man - maybe he isn't, and maybe he's realised that's what he's become, and if he has, that's greater self-knowledge than I could ever muster.
He never seemed to understand that if you manage a successful club you play more games, because, you know, that's how Cup competitions work. |  |

I do agree he can be a right arse at times but really enjoyed watching his teams play. He does seem to have got more and more angry the last 2 years so can see why he wants to call it a day.
Been lucky to see his team and Peps in the same era, they are both brilliant to watch regardless of how much money they've spent. Chelsea spent similar fortunes and were never as entertaining as these 2 sides |  | | |

Joe, my thoughts exactly. I hate those plastic fans so much, all of them, Liverpool, Arsenal, Man U blah blah.
I can't even talk football with them. It's two different things, they just don't understand and I have no clue what their "passion" really is.
If someone ask me if I am a football fan, I say no, I'm a QPR fan. Then I don't have to talk to some Arsenal tosser who once got tickets and took pictures the whole game whilst wearing a half and half scarf. [Post edited 26 Jan 15:25]

Cream in its heyday was something to behold.
Took a US DJ there circa 1994 and was asked before his set what kind of style the crowd was into. I had one word for him: piano. Cue slightly strange look. Early in the set he drops a tune with a big piano break, room erupts with every pair of hands in the air, big laugh from the DJ. |  |
