Eau de MacGowan posted:i can understand making the decision, why announce it in january? Maybe I'm being naive but to me, from the two minute twitter video, it looks like he simply thinks it's the right thing to do. Especially for the fans.

Fabrizio Romano tweeted that Klopp informed the club (and, presumably, the players) of this decision in November, so maybe he’s announcing it now is because they’re finalizing a replacement already.

Cpt. Mahatma Gandhi posted:Fabrizio Romano tweeted that Klopp informed the club (and, presumably, the players) of this decision in November, so maybe announcing he’s announcing it now is because they’re finalizing a replacement already. An article I was reading about it had more of his comments that weren't in the video: quote:Klopp said there were no underlying health issues for his departure. “I am OK. I am healthy, as much as you can be at my age. I told the club already in November. I have to explain a little bit that maybe the job I do people see from the outside, I’m on the touchline and in training sessions and stuff like this, but the majority of all the things happen around these kind of things. so yeah, told the club in November, and he says it isn't a health thing it's just that burnout symptom where you're thinking about the future and you think "ah but I could be gone by then" and it gets more and more appealing

I'm wondering if he regrets (for lack of a better word) signing the extension which carried him from 2024 to 2026 a little bit, and he's decided to go out on the original date. Last year (and the 2020/21 season) was pretty rough, I wouldn't be surprised if he decided that was enough for him. Joke answer is that he's wanted to leave for a while but he had to make sure that it was impossible for Gerrard to be his replacement before he confirmed it.

This sounds ludicrous, and even like a joke, but it's not. And I don't even mean Klopp, he's just the catalyst. But I imagine burnout is common, even if few are as upfront about their own needs and desires as Klopp. But it'd be really loving cool to see a top men's club managers who's done all he feels he can do, at least for now, go to a top women's club. Not for a rest or step down (which I don't think it'd be) but for the new challenge.

Just saw that Lijnders is leaving too, which I'm really surprised by. I honestly expected him to be the replacement next season, given how much he's been involved on a tactical/personnel level.

vyelkin's quote makes it sound like he's been seeing the writing on the wall for some time but just didn't want to leave the club in a bad situation (old and busted midfield needs a complete rebuild). now he feels things are in a relatively good spot to hand over to someone else and he can give the club enough time to do a proper search in public and the fans will hear it first from him and not from some scoop on Twitter.

Klopp can be a terrifying rear end in a top hat but I will miss him. I think we were all waiting for Pep to go first, so this is a real surprise.

Until someone makes a Xabi Alonso fanfic thread, I guess I have to post this here: As the players arrived at training, they noticed a cloaked figure already out on the pitch. He seemed to float through the morning fog with the ball attached to his feet before unleashing a blistering strike into the top corner of the goal from 75 yards away. "Wow, who is this new player we've signed?" Mo Salah said in an absolutely perfect way because he is absolutely perfect. "We'll surely win the league with him in our squad!" "I don't know," said Virgil, also in an absolutely perfect way. "Now all we need is a manager and we'll win the Champions League". The mysterious figure walked over towards them and pulled back his hood sexily. "It's me, Xabi Alonso", he said handsomely. "And you're right...we are going to win every trophy", he said Kloppishly. Then he sang "You'll Never Walk Alone" in an absolutely perfect way and Liverpool went on to win the league.

I feel like time off could bring back motivation for him to atleast comeback once. If he is done, he was one of the greats of this generation. Great football and kept up with a cheating Man City toe to toe.

In ten years, liverpool under klopp have won: 1 (one) FA cup 1 (one) league cup 1 (one) champions league and 1 (one) league title with the biggest asterisk since the advent of written language not sure if they can find another manager who can also reach these dizzying heights tbh. truly a once in a lifetime savant nawilo_420 fucked around with this message at 15:34 on Jan 26, 2024 |
