I know its a bit conspiracy theory, but I remember he said that if we went down the Netflix documentary route, he would leave.  there's been reports that FSG have been talking to TV companies.

 

Deffo something gone on I reckon, he has made a big play of Liverpool 2.0 and how it has reinvigorated everything, and then to announce he is going?

 

They wouldn't do anything to risk Klopp leaving. They have probably only started talking to TV companies after he announced that he was going.

Can we have a parade?

 

We'll be having one anyway with four trophies to show off.

[Carvalho Diablo]

This announcement reminds me of the BBC guy talking to stunned fans, breaking the news of Shanks' departure.

Hopefully our next boss is as successful as his replacement proved to be!

 

 

[Special K]

I have to believe something's gone on behind the scenes

The timing is very suss indeed.

Could easily be that somehow info was leaked, and they knew it would get out anyway. Better then to reveal the news yourself.

 

How can we say the timing is wrong when we don't know the facts?

I doubt it. But it's not impossible.

 

No way they can do a doc with a new coach trying to follow in his footsteps.

Anyone speculating about motives, falling outs, anything like that, just watch the video

And my birthday. How's that for a present when you're 15.

There was no better fit than Jurgen for us. Just glad we had him.

The guy made us as fans feel 10 feet tall, let alone the players.

I'm with you, I reckon FSG chose a few million quid from HBO/Netflix/Amazon over the 100's of millions they get from the best manager Liverpool have had for years and years.

 

(Klopp didn't walk in this morning and decide this, he says himself he decided it early into the season and told FSG in November).

As if things couldn’t get worse Radio is playing Father figure by George Michael.

 

I’ve just got something in my eye….,

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Football is like life, euphoric highs and desperate lows.

 

Thanks for the ride Jurgen.

I’ve only watched half of it so far, I agree.

Nice. Paying attention

[Baltar]

The timing of this announcement really is poor. This will crush the morale of the players in the middle of a title challenge.

Maybe they’re doing it because he is leaving? Last chance so to speak. That is not why he is leaving.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Don't like fucking football anyway just wanted to see what the fuss was about anyway I'm off back to supporting that thing I love that always wins.

[niallers]

The biggest fear is that there's no continuity. Whoever comes in will be starting from scratch,no matter how many good players are here and that klopp will leave him with a brilliant squad.

What are virgil, Alison, trent and salah going to be thinking?

At least with the boot room, there was continuity. Shanks Paisley fagan Kenny.

They say its the hope that kills you. In this instance, its the not knowing what the fuck is going to happen.

Who in the name of fuck can take over from living legend and continue to keep us at the fucking top?

 

[Vincent Vega]

The pod on this news will be like group therapy.

[Fallen Angel]

Feels like Kenny the first time. Something very odd with the timing - as many have pointed out. 
 

Very odd the entire back-room going too. Thought Lijnders might have fancied a crack (no thanks). 

 

It was always going to happen - I expected another season minimum as the 2.0 project developed. 
 

Going to roll a fat one and let it sink in. Alonso for me - hard to see who will be making that call however. 

[BeefStroganoff]

Are people for real? He signed a contract until 2026. Not just him but his whole staff are going AS WELL.

 

Something clearly has happened behind the scenes.

It's hard to know if it's good to know now or at the end of the season. Pros and cons. I'd prefer to know as we can make the absolute best of him and also the fans &, players can use it to help us in the last few months of the season. 

 

I hope George plays 'Galvanise' by Chemical Brothers against Chelsea.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Shit when does Alissons contract run out? Give him everything he wants.
