Jürgen Klopp

[Le Chef]

Probably not in the way you hope, cos we (thankfully in my opinion) aren't the plaything of a sugar-daddy owner, but a properly run club who rely on profits (non-existent after a year without crowds I would imagine) and maintain a strict wage bill. So the only way we will buy big is if we can negotiate good, well-spread (and highly incentivised) payment deals with other clubs, or sell-to-buy.

So another PayPal summer then - Last big signing was Alison, and we've won the league and PL, the rest have been signings on the never never.

I want the owners to cash in on the leap in value in the club and match that - Give Jurgen a war chest and don't put it on the club.

But they won't ?

A lot will depend on Billy Beane i'd suspect.

The Billy Beane deal is dead they couldn’t raise the capital there’s a different deal in play allegedly but it doesn’t involve him

[Fosterbloke]

Its him sniffing his bollocks and ass cheese for me.

Who doesn't like to do that from time to time?

Bit guarded in his answers understandably but great to see him looking less beaten.

Jürgen Klopp

Jürgen Klopp has expressed his support for Sheffield UTD’s decision to sack Chris Wilder this morning. The German had clashed with Wilder on the topic of substitutions earlier in the season.

“Good,” Klopp told Soccer on Sunday. “Nobody likes to see a manager lose their job, unless it’s Chris Wilder obviously. I couldn’t be happier. For sure, this is up there with winning the league, the birth of my son and those kinds of things.”

“It’s wonderful,” said the 53 year-old. “Now Chris can sit at home discussing 3 substitutions or 5 substitutions with his wife or his dog or whoever. I don’t have to listen to it any more.”

“I’m over the wooden spoon, as a cockney might say,” added Klopp. “Overweight Frank Lampard, or some other cockney.”
