Was Ericksen ever pressed over Sinawatra?

Yes, he's a big fan of Strangers In The Night by all accounts.

I don’t agree with the ‘Howe just being a simple football man’ stuff. He’s the only representative of the club who will face the media every week. He should be asked about the owners of the club at any and every opportunity. He chose to become manager after the regime took it over.

Should Klopp have to answer questions on Standard Chartered money laundering & sanctions case? They are often tied to terrorism and illegal activities. 
 

Klopp signed his new deal after the were fined >$1bn. 
 

I wouldn’t expect Klopp to answer questions on that, it’s nothing to do with him.

Whataboutery aside - which in itself tends to suggest that no wrong should ever be addressed - I’d be pretty confident that Klopp wouldn’t have pursued Howe’s particular career choice.

Appreciate the different views and comments, but still not sure what kind of a country expects a higher standard of morality and discourse from footballers than ruling politicians.

I wouldn't have an issue with Klopp being asked about Standard Chartered. He would say in a polite manner that all banks, insurance companies and gambling firms are wankers so what are you to do. Once he answered the question that would be the end of it.

 

Eddie Howe has never uttered anything other than I'm just here for the football. The guys asking the questions also happen to be the same profession as the pieces in the black sack. SC haven't dismembered any journalists as far as I know.

I have seen Klopp cut some media folk to ribbons.

I totally appreciate your points and can see where you are both coming from. I don’t think either of you are “wrong”, you just see it different to me.

 

IMO, football is a release from the monotony of day to day life / work / politics etc.

 

I don’t really like the two crossing. However, if somebody who has the platform and feel they might make some sort of difference (Hendo’s sexism advert, Fowler / Dockers, Rashford etc) then I’m not against that either. 
 

I know the Saudi’s are shadier than most, I just think look at banks, gambling, crypto, oil etc sponsors and think how far could we go asking these questions to people who have no influence on the owners / sponsors.

 

When posed the question, Klopp has answered questions on Brexit, COVID-19 & vaccinations incredibly honestly and eloquently in recent years. Howe has been asked the question on the Saudi’s and more or less ducked it.
 

IMO, neither answer is wrong. Klopp answered his questions as he did because that’s who he is. Likely Howe has done the same (let’s face it, Howe comes over as a pussy). Ultimately non of that is their business, their job is to get results for their respective clubs.

If he’s been a Liverpool fan since the early 80’s then he was 30 when he started following us.

Ah, the Twitter brigade.  Like I said previously, some people care far too much about Twitter and the gobshites on there.

Stop getting bogged down with what gets said on Twitter and just enjoy the football, would be my reaction.

Top six rivals net spend this summer(transfer market)

Spurs = £57m

Chelsea = £160m

Man United = £56m

Spot the odd one out. Not including City as it doesn't include Haaland agency fees

Jurgen Klopp seems genuinely happy with them as owners. He's been here six years and will thankfully be here for a few more. He seems a smart and honest fella. Do you reckon he believes that FSG limit his potential for success? Should he be more vocal about them and call them out as leeching frauds? 

[Harry Squatter 14,064]

Arsenal fans can't moan about their owners. They may dislike them but at least there's money available to the manager despite them being out of the Champions league for about 5 years.

That's not why you're not included City's figures. The truth is you don't like what it looks like and it doesn't suit your argument.

No one has ever had a remotely good answer to this question.

Six weeks? Are you aware that the month of January has only four weeks in it?

The big difference is that SC don't own the club and aren't his bosses, FSG are.
