Klopps to Leave at the End of the Season

[JonesyRed]

Wow this hits hard, WTF

Did not expect that

 

[Atlas]

Right, Jose it is.

Listening to his interview, and it really sounds like Klopp needs some Klopp hugs. I'm absolutely gutted about this, but you can hear in his voice that he's gutted too, that he loves the club and the players, that he doesn't really want to go, but he knows he needs to.
He's doing the responsible thing, he's leaving us in a good place, and he's guaranteed that we as a supporter base will be 100% behind him and the team all the way to the end.
And he leaves us not only with a strong squad, with trophies in the bag, great memories, but also state of the art training facilities and a 60k+ capacity stadium, none of which we had when he came, none of which we could have afforded if he hadn't managed his transfer budgets the way he did, whilst winning trophies as much through coaching as transfers.
I love him, he is a fucking legend, always will be. I'm glad the first question they asked him was if he was OK, that was what I wanted to know too. Sounds like he's just knackered. Shit managers can go on forever as the keep getting sacked and have time to recharge their batteries. Klopp is a victim of his own success, poor bugger.

Now we can all say, "We know how the folks who were alive for Shanks' shock resignation felt" ...

"Are you concerned that this news will disrupt the season"

I'm 100% in the season

 

[Jürgen4PM]

I'll be expecting a call shortly.

 

[Fabio]

I'm just numb

 

[dee]

Christ this is a hard watch!!!!!!

 

[the count]

I'll be expecting a call shortly.

Have you finally been sacked and are available?

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Have you finally been sacked and are available?

It's the only job I'd consider leaving for

 

[King Binny]

Is there a source for whole coaching lot going?
Would suggest board disagreement rather than I'm tired lads

Any possibility of new ownership + overhaul?

 

[Markeh]

What I’m reading from the vid is that we fucked him by lumping on more work when we should’ve been doing the opposite. No director of football and all that, he was given a lot of extra responsibility that he was happy to take on but in hindsight wasn’t good for him.

"I just don't have a normal life, I need to give it a try to have a normal life"

 

[refugee]

Fuck.

 

[Beamrider]

This must be like the first time you seen Master Yoda die.

Maybe Jurgen's force ghost can turn up and do the team talks on match day.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Genuinely gutted! I actually love the man for what he's done for us!

 

[dee]

New ownership + overhaul?

Oh FFS - it can't get any bloody worse can it!

 

[Richey]

I'm surprised that the coaching staff are all going too. In that case, you do have to wonder if his replacement (and their own coaching staff) is already decided.

 

[binomial]

I think that's reading into it too much.
He's sad cos he's leaving now cos he's gonna die come May

Maybe, maybe not. Truth is no one knows what's going on but it's not exactly impossible a middle aged man has been given some bad news by his doctor. Maybe it's not him but someone close in his family and feels he has to step away to be with them until he can come back. Like I say I hope not.

 

[Hansern]

Quite normal that the assistant managers are leaving though.

 

[Woland]

Any possibility of new ownership + overhaul?

This means we already have a new boss

Maybe Pep is taking them to his next gig

 

[Athens]

Maybe Jurgen's force ghost can turn up and do the team talks on match day.

It'll be a real life version of the Brendan Rodgers "how am I doing boss" picture.

 

[dee]

Hmmm - wonder if this will decide Mo to move on?

 

[Hansern]

Klopp seems honest in his interview but still people are speculating about everything else. I think its just as he says it is, if not this would have been worded differently.

 

[Woland]

I think Klopp got the call from the WEF as the planet needs to cool down and lots of wars need fixing. He's the only man for the job. Can't stand in his way really

 

[Red Mullet]

Hmmm - wonder if this will decide Mo to move on?

Yeah Mo will go

 

[King Binny]

Germany job after Euro 2024?

 

[dee]

"When you ask me if I'll ever work as a manager again - now I'd say no" "I'll never manage a club in this country" "Definitely won't be a manager for a year"

 

[mark1975]

Quite normal that the assistant managers are leaving though.

It is, but they do also stay sometimes especially when there isn't a plan for a successor in place. I'm hoping the announcement means we've already agreed something ahead of the Summer. Knowing these lot in charge though, I'd be just as unsurpassed if we're sat here in August watching an X Factor-like TV face off between Jose and Fat Sam.
