He’s given us memories for a lifetime! A well earned break for a legendary figure.

I believe He wanted to fulfill His full contract when He signed contract Extension, but the plan B was to get Liverpool into a very good Position when He found out the Energy was not there anymore

I'm a bit older and the freedom to get up when you want do what you feel like doing is good, but after a habit of a lifetime we still need something that gives us purpose and that's the no 1 hurdle to get over. The amount of drive we have to get things done lessens with age, adapting to this is a challenge, for me, probably you, and even probably Jurgen. I hope Jurgen gets the Germany job if and when he chooses, I think it would be a wind down but still a pinnacle to his stellar career

I do not see a completely retirement,of Jürgen Klopp,but beeing a English Premiere League Manager is a real demanding Job that is to much for him i guess. You might have read that Klopp builds a House in Wiesbaden(Sonnenberg) , that is strategically good choice not to far (40km) from German Football FA Headquarters and Not to far from Mainz next City across the River

Klopp is not linked that much to the black Forrest, actually He builds a House not to far from the DFB HQ (Germany Football A..) and Mainz . It is more in the Frankfurt area. I guess Pep Guardiola knows that Klopp builds a House in close area to German FA and there for He predicts Klopp will work again after a Long sabbatical

Weren't Liverpool fans desperate for FSG to sell to Qatar just 14 months ago though? Hard to claim a 'morale' high ground when you were so keen to sell out. Also Klopp and integrity doesn't fit quite well the way he makes excuses for losses and barks at officials etc.

All managers bark at referees. Football fans across the whole country agree that the standards of officiating in the game are appalling. The moral high ground comes from being able to compete at the highest levels of the game for the last few years whilst spending far less than rival teams, or worse, resorting deliberately breaking the rules and self sponsoring etc etc. It shows with the right people in charge you can still compete.

@@jamesg2090 so then why was the majority of the liverpool fanbase so desperate for Qatari ownership when FSG publicly mentioned the possibility of selling? Do you see the contradiction? Also Klopp cant have integrity when he's constantly blaming everything else when he loses. Other managers put their hands up, which is true integrity IMO. And also not all clubs/managers have openly written to the Prem to imply conspiracy and ask for games to be replayed. Only Liverpool have. I could go back further into the clubs history if you want to talk about morales by the way. A certain t shirt comes to mind straight off the bat. All clubs are shady and are imperfect when it comes to morality. Its impossible to be squeeky clean with the money thats involved. To claim to be high and mighty is laughable. But i will give you that LFC are 'better' than City due to their blatant cheating - if that was the main point/comparison you were making. On that we agree.

I would say it was a vocal minority of fans in the FSG out brigade. Most sensible supporters recognise that whilst not perfect, FSG have put Liverpool on a very stable platform. They've invested in additional stadium capacity, new training ground and revenues have grown massively compared with ten years ago. Liverpool are now right up there with the biggest clubs generating over £550m a year. Liverpool used to lag way behind United and others on this. The club has never requested that the spurs game be replayed. That said the 'controversy' involved in that game was clearly different from the kind of subjective mistakes that referees make all the time. The correct process was not followed when a legitimate goal had been scored. Its not the same as Arteta complaining about subjective decisions in the Newcastle game. A recent game in Belgium will be replayed for a similar mis application of the rules. The error in the spurs game could end up costing Liverpool the title.

Ironically after the debacle after the Spurs game, Arteta and Kompany both said words to the effect of "the referees have a tough job and we must try to support them" rather than actually getting behind Liverpool and making it clear that the clubs won't tolerate such unprofessionalism. Then within weeks both managers were calling referees for everything because they didn't agree with subjective decisions that went against them in certain games. Blatent tribalism.

Talkin’ kop & TLC are the best 2 LFC pods at the minute

Or maybe Klopp just thinks he's a great assistant manager? Plenty of great assistants have flopped as head coaches. They're different skill sets

Read that in his voice tbf

Jaysus Can't make out wether your parodying Copey or honest shaming the lad, either way think you need a day off lol😂

I fear you’re right! Will half of scousers now start supporting Germany? 😂
