AncalagonTheBlack Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) Horrible news. Why now? He could easily have stayed another year and developed the team further. I'm disappointed with Klopp. Doesn't he want to watch n more than 1 PL? Edited January 26 by AncalagonTheBlack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Klopp's comments do make it sound as though his thought process right now is to retire from management altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) He probably would have more league titles if Liverpool were also able to conjure up fake sponsorships and breach 100+ FFP regulations. Anyway, questioning Klopp's ambition after he turned Liverpool around from laughingstock to serious contenders for top honours is pretty pathetic.

baxus Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 He seems like he really, REALLY needs a break. Quote "If you ask me 'Will you ever work as a manager again?' i would say now 'No', but i don't know obviously how that will be because I've never had the situation. What I know definitely I will never manage a different club in England than Liverpool. 100%. That's not possible. My love for this club, my respect for the people is so big I couldn't, couldn't for a second think about it. There's no chance."

What makes you think he could? And if he's at the state he appears to be at now, it would definitely not be easy for him. 19 minutes ago, AncalagonTheBlack said: I'm disappointed with Klopp. He did his best with what he had at his disposal. There's nothing more you can expect from him or anyone else. I'd rather he left and found whatever new purpose he feels he needs to find than watch him wither away on our bench.

ljkeane Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 58 minutes ago, BigFatCoward said: Also it is madness to announce it in advance, why not wait until the end of the season. I would guess they want to nail down his replacement and don’t think they can keep the recruitment process quiet. It’s better he announces it rather than it leaking out. 29 minutes ago, AncalagonTheBlack said: Horrible news. Why now? He could easily have stayed another year and developed the team further.

He’s more than earned the right to do whatever the hell he likes. The Winged Shadow, Iskaral Pust and Corvinus85 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has obviously been brewing for a while, though we can't know for sure when Klopp informed the board and/or the owners. If they kept a lid on it they might have already held some talks with possible replacements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartofice Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Klopp hasn't looked like he's enjoyed the game for a while, I'm surprised it's taken this long for him to call it quits. It must be a struggle to mentally keep going after the past couple of seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah exactly, he's hardly cheering goals Liverpool score, instead I just see him almost violently do his fist pump move in a sort of 'fuck you' motion. He's always look a bit angry, but certainly it's gotten pretty consistent over the past couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iskaral Pust Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Very sad to see him leave. Thanks for all he brought to the club, we’ve been very lucky to have him. I hope a break helps him. I wonder if the players can stay focused for the rest of the season — I still remember how Kenny’s announcement derailed the title challenge all those years ago. Now the club need to recruit a DoF, manager and coaching staff. It’s a pity we don’t have an institutional DoF for continuity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boey was also left out of Galatasaray's squad for their game today. Looks like Gala have managed to negotiate a better fee. Reports now saying that the fee agreed is €30m + add-ons.

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Burnout in high pressure jobs is a real thing. It's worse when it's a public facing job and it has to be even more magnifying being the coach in a rabid sport. Announcing early isn't a bad thing. It might motivate the team to get one more title for him while allowing everyone to plan for the future. It only looks bad if he quickly takes another gig, but based on his comments he does seem stressed out to the nines and needs a vacation.
