They don't understand the hype because they don't know where the club was 9 years ago. The club was damaged, the fans did not believe in the club, the squad was very average, the training facilities were aging, the stadium needed love. There was clear divide between the players and the fans. Klopp came in, made the very average squad play at a higher level than anyone thought possible and also challenged the fans to do better. The squad marginally improved in his first few seasons, the team became possible the best offensive team in Europe whilst also being the weakest defence - a huge glass cannon. Just about every signing improved the team, combined with youth players. The club now has some of the best players in world football in every position. The squad 9 years ago had Skrtel, Moreno, Mignolet, Joe Allen. Player that would struggle to get onto Burnley's bench. The owners do not have the money of Man City, yet the club competed with them, pretty much every year of Klopp's tenure. That is why the fans hold him in such a high regard. He leaves everyone and everything better than he recieved.

And what a journey it was!

All those sad little commentators bleating on about "too few trophies" miss the entire point(s). Firstly, football is as much about stories as anything. And boy, did Klopp leave so many of those. Moments - and games - that will live on in the memory long after the silver tarnishes.

@@Chzydawgvery well said! Exactly my points are. He has changed the mentality of Liverpool FC as a business unit, not only trophies and the way football being played on the pitch. He united and integrated all elements of how a football club should be managed, from players, coach team,support team, fans, owner, facilities improvement, financial acumen in buying and selling players, media handling, instilling never give up mentality in every aspect of LFC. In short, he turned all elements in LFC, from doubters to believers. No football manager has done that before, except probably Sir Alex Fergusson.

115 FC scraped two title wins off Klopp, each by a point and needed to be state funded AND the refs in their brown envelope subscriptions in order to do so.

The club he leaves is in a much better state than the club he joined. The clubs infrastructure, the stadium, the supporters, the staff that are staying, the players…everything has improved so dramatically. Every player on the team sheet has won something significant, has the experience, has the motivation and skill to succeed again, the same could not be said about the team he inherited. Opposition plastics and trolls will call him overrated, but the fact of the matter is he brought success back to Anfield in a time where supporters were giving up hope.

And not only that.. He did thay not once, but twice...With Borusia Dortmund, as well.. Always competing against Pep, and always enheriting run down team and brought both clubs back to former glory... Pep always enherit a champions club with a 5-time bigger budget than Klopp... People overlook that...

​@@thezoran6868Thank you! Pep always did it with big clubs with deep pockets (Barça, Bayern, City) would love to see him do it with a small club (Mainz) like Klopp did and got them promoted to Bundesliga without having to spend tons of money. Klopp the ONLY manager with a winning record against Guardiola.

@victoroliva5347 Exactly...From the moment Klopp took Liverpool as 'out of the top 4 team' to the moment Klopp won Cmapions Leagu Premier League and World Title, he spent, nett, only 80 million errors! Crazy, isn't it...Guardiola spent in in a month... 😀

That’s football, you can’t win them all.

Courtois was the reason we didn't win that CL. He was phenomenal that game

decent, nice mate

Have a word with yourself. A United fan gutted a successful Liverpool boss is stepping aside.. Jesus wept.

Thanks mate , really nice f you m

I see him winning the world cup.

Hopefully he comes back to LFC rested and energised

He does not need the money; the media is annoying; he can focus his energy in other areas where he does not have to deal with the media. Additionally, many people are obsessive and annoying. Why deal with them?

@@academicresearch2280 He's the wrong guy. He needs his players around him and not sporadically.

I think he'll get a sporting director role at Dortmund, in a few months.

115 Cheats FC

One can hope!

Let’s hope Slot doing well, with the foundation laid by Klopp.

@@SuryaSurya-re3vnI think he would do a great job but I doubt he can compete with pep and artata for the PL title

That’s my hope. Hope he comes back to LFC in 3years time🥰

Really doubt it. I think he's comfortable with the legacy he has at the club, don't think he'd want a second run at it, but you never know

🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱

Hahahahahaha. Cute, he’s not even LFC manager anymore and he still lives rent free in your head.

Relax son, forget the Kit Kat, have a wank😅

Pfffft 😂 OP clearly doesn’t even watch football. What a silly spunktrumpet

Unfortunately for you, he will be remembered 😂 😘

Overrated? Said nobody who watches football…

@@alfredchurchill2328 only liverpool fans think he is great. But to bigger clubs , he would have been sacked.

@@ih8mcfly another comment suggesting you don’t watch football. Why not dig up instead of down. You look embarrassing

@@ih8mcflyDo you want to know the reason Liverpool fans think he’s great? Because he’s taken Liverpool from an average side that barely qualified for the Europa league, to a team that challenges for the title nearly every season. He’s won every trophy possible for his club. 9 years ago no one would predict Liverpool to win the league, let alone another UCL. Klopps has to compete against an unstoppable force in the form of Man City and is the only manager to win the league during City’s peak years.

Overrated are managers like Pep. Only takes on clubs that are already winning and with unlimited funds.
