Welcome Jurgen

[Fallon]

I love how the media is dismissing his "Title within 4 years" comment as a misspeak, suggesting that he meant just a piece of silverware. Never mind that he referenced twenty odd year waits in the sentence prior.

He meant it, he believes it, and I love it.

With that line he's saying we're still a big club, and that if we can't get a title by then he's basically not doing his job. Terrific.

I believe him as well.

TSD: not to disagree, but I think it's more a comment on the quality of the existing squad as a basis to work from, rather than a comment on LFC's status. He already made it clear that he still regards us as a big club by being keen to come here.

It isn't often that I quote Ginsoak but I like the fact that he's said he's worried by the appointment. 😎

Can definitely be read that way. Either way, Klopp is awesome.

Until we lose.

It is a bit too much - he has won two German titles, and so did Rafa. If we contrast this with other coaches who have won titles in more than one country plus European titles then it is not really a big deal is it ? people may differ on this. There is no guarantee of success with this guy - the risk is as big as Chelsea took when they signed AVB. Some will say - yeah but they took Jose when he only won the title in Portugal - but he (Jose) also had won the CL.

The positives from this is that we have a new manager who will freshen up the squad and the change will be good as I don't think we were getting anywhere with Brendan, other than losing our best players from one season to the next, and being totally inconsistent from game to game. The second thing is that we know he is capable of creating a team and working with players, and if rumors are to be believed then we know that this is what the players want - an approachable and available coach. Other than that everyone - as I have said in the other thread - don't be upset if only get 2 points from the next 5 months.

If we get 2 points in the next 5 months we're fucked

He looks as made up as we all do.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Red cafe is in meltdown since we got Klopp.

Its hilarious...

Aaaargh, a woman with high heels on the pitch.

I was hoping that might happen. They really wanted him when Moyes was given the boot, and Ginsoak's been saying he's concerned Klopp will be a success with us. Sweet.

 

[Mamma Mia]

Is this the best ever start for a Liverpool manager before his first match?

 

[gene hughes]

It feels like the dawn of a new age for all mankind.

 

[Gary25]

Like everyone else it seems, I'm thrilled with this appointment. Buzzing. And still in a state of shock he's our new Manager.

There'll be a few teething problems along the way, but I've no doubt Klopp is the man to bring the glory days back. I honestly can't see how he'll fail. Players won't want to let this man down.

Bring on Spurs.

It's definitely been the most positive appointment of Manager I can remember. No doubt heightened by the social media madness of 2015, but still.

 

[cloggypop]

I love the massive cunt.

I find it hard to fault him.

 

[Woland]

One good thing about when he loses it and everything goes to shit and he gets fired will be reading this thread.

Nooooooo

This seems like our last proper crack at it to me...as in the Title, not this season, but in the next few.
The days of not being able to touch United, Chelsea and Arsenal, City in recent years are gone. They're all a bit meh, and we need to capitalise. Bringing in a man of Klopp's calibre is a start, and a significant one, get the transfer dealings right for a change and we're laughing.

Rosco has already set that thread up.

 

[Y1]

Now that I have time to read and listen to what he has to say, this is what I have to say, "WELCOME JÜRGEN!!!"

He is definitely no Brendan Rodgers or Mourhino. What a breath of fresh air. Let's now see some proper football. Consistently.

 

[Squiggles]

This feels better, but arguably Rafa's record was stronger before he arrived in the sense he overhauled Barcelona and Real Madrid whereas Klopp had to overhaul Munich. I know there's little in it, but there's certainly in gulf in the difference between the good feeling following the appointment. It's probably down to Klopp being more open and likable, initially, and the fact we're in a worse standing than when Rafa took over.

Pre-LvG appointment.

 

[Leo]

There's likeable and then there's this fucker.
I've looked in the eyes of an Alaskan Malamute and it doesn't compare to Jurgen.
I absolute heart this man.

Drinking at the Old Blind School. Great taste.

Better than fucking Garlands at 2am anyway...

3 days later and it still feels as though we've won the lottery.

Just fantastic.
