He's in charge of Liverpool Football Club. Hating him comes as easy as breathing, even if he never says another word.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Will Klopp get full control on transfers? I assume this would have been one of his conditions?
Agree with this. But then again when they did almost win it, they had the X factor player in suarez
He had a veiled pop at them today, I think mostly the media were too thick to realise it was a dig, but in a months time, when they've processed it, they'll probably turn on him.
Of course he won't. He's never had that at a club before and it doesn't seem like he wants it.
So far so good for him, but him elevating Liverpool to new heights is still far from a sure thing.
Great appointment for them however you want to spin it. He is an upgrade. He will attract better players to the club (at least initially).
However, this league is a far cry from the german league. The top teams will be difficult to overtake given spending power alone. I think he will be shocked at how hard this league is, much the same as LVG has. Even with the wealth of experience managing different leagues in Europe, LVG has struggled to cope. I think klopp will be much of the same and needs to be given a lot of time to even get them back to the CL.
It might be a possibility that he will get top 4 for them but winning the league would mean the stars have to align. He is in for a difficult ride and expectations over there are ridiculous. Almost as bad as our club.

Also with the media lapping up his "Maybe I am the normal one?" line - didnt Avram Grant say that when he took over at Chelsea?
When Spurs beat Liverpool in the match a week on Saturday, the headline will be "Klopp Clipped"
I really don't get the furore over this. Klopp is a quality manager that's for certain but it takes quite a few boxes to tick together to achieve success in PL.
His English massively improved already during the CL season 13/14. He started really poorly and ended up a lot better. It was a bit surprising to me that a man of his age and education (A-levels with about 7-9 years of English lessons, university degree in sports science) spoke so little English when he started with EL and CL pressers.
I start to hate him now, the fecker!
Didn't watch it but did he say the title or a title? The latter would sound more like Klopp who aimed for reaching every German cup final.
Well he did a Moyes there last year.
In german they use the title loosly like a trophy. He is probably refering to winning a trophy in next4 years. Which isnt too wrong. If wigan can win the f.a. cup...Winning a title in the next four years
Okay yeah if he meant winning a trophy then that's possible but no way are Liverpool winning the league title in the next four years. Klopp is a great manager but he's got his work cut out for him at Liverpool.
Yes.
Fair enough. This thread has been so full of posters behaving like teenage girls would if they heard Beiber is getting married, it is hard to differentiate.
I think they will win the title within the next 4-5 years.
Sounds like we're going to be jealous of their football style soon...
I will have my Harry Kane jersey on
More importantly he does not have a suarez and an injury free sturridge/coutinho or a midfield of alonso/mascherano/prime gerrard and pre shit torress. He will have to find and mould one which is very difficult.
No matter how good a manager he is, players wont simply come to liverpool to play under him. Money, champions league and better area to live will be important considerations. They cant offer same money nor champions league yet and certainly not the area to live.
Totally agree with this. Seems like some Liverpool fans are under the impression they can attract the big names without CL football which I can't see them doing. And like you said, Liverpool can't compete with the likes of United, City, Chelsea in the market when it comes to money.
The players must be absolutely buzzing though.
I can't remember any signing, player or manager, as big as this for us.
That's a great first interview. fecking hell, seeing him at Liverpool is such a massive kick on the nuts. Really like the guy.
The Klopp love in kicks into overdrive before he's taken charge of his first match!
The state of it.
The state of it.
Not even the return of King Kenny
Sounds like he's going to absolutely Traveller his players; expect Sturridge to explode in a shower of bones, springs etc.
These sort of lines are only really relevant when they're said with hindsight.
He doesn't have the playing staff at Liverpool to pull off miracles. As I've said before, I'm a huge fan and can't deny my disappointment but he's going to need a 'make-shift' solution until the end of the season.
Implementing Dortmund's strategy just isn't going to work I feel. They'll get battered like that.
There's an awful lot of players on the books at Liverpool that are not Klopp type players at all. As an example, I'll be shocked if we continue to see Milner in midfield.

[RAWK mode on]
Mignolet > Weidenfeller
Moreno > Schmelzer
Skrtel = Sokratis
Sakho = Hummels
Clyne >> Piszczek
Milner = Gundogan
Lucas = Sahin
Coutinho = Reus
Firmino = Mkhitaryan
Ibe > Kuba
Benteke = Lewnadowski
Excellent. And if he scores a brace for a 2 - 0 win, the Daily Star will surely go with: "'Pool bent double as they take one in the Klopper"I will have my Harry Kane jersey on
Difference being Avram Grant looked ugly as shit.
Klopp is Liverpool's best signing since Luis Suarez.
Why do people are so worried?
I'll gladly dig up some quotes about LvG from people on here if you think it was any different back then
That's just the way it is with football fans in general, not only at Liverpool.''I don't want to spend ££££ that the club doesn't have'' - they're skint, Brendan has skint them!!! Well done Brendan. Good work.
"All I heard and read and felt when I saw matches with Liverpool. I love football and the intensity of football in Liverpool is very, very good for me. I always thought about England and working here because of the style of football and Liverpool was first choice."
Unfortunately with no other options left he has to say those.Right now i don't have any hate towards this guy,lets see where this all go.

Can't stand the way since Mourinho declared himself 'the special one' it seems like every single new manager to the PL gets asked to provide a catchy soundbite for themselves, feck off with that shite please.
