Man United isn't the barometer here. I'd also add we have some fantastic players thats been mismanaged but that's a seperate point. I'm also not arguing he hasn't spent the money well? What does spending it well got to do with it?
Plus if you're going down the new era of spending route then Klopps net spend is bullshit because he sold Coutinho during this crazy market which padded his sales record.
You can't have it both ways. Klopp could field Allison, VVD, Kieta and Fabinho alone which has cost them almost a quarter of a billion pounds.
Whats the argument here? Its not a crime to spend money and Klopp has. It's idiotic to try to water that down as if he's this miracle worker on a budget.. The Ox, Salah, Firminho and Mane cost as much as our forward line. He tried to add Fekir to that in the summer as well!
Remember when they tried for Lemar for 70 odd million?
Klopp isn't operating in the bargain bins here.
I'm not really sure what we are arguing about anymore. Klopp has needed to spend to challenge for league title against one of the best pl teams in history. And he also managed to make a CL Final. No he's not working on a shoe string budget, but he also doesn't have silly money like City or PSG, nor the prestige of man utd, barcalona and Madrid.
He proved at Dortmund, he could win titles and challenge for CL without spending big.
Anyway I don't know what, we are disagreeing about anymore. Even though Klopp is a Liverpool manager, I still rate him as one of the best in world. That's it really. He was my favourite to suceed SAF and we got Moyes, van gaal and Mourinho instead.
Even though you don't win trophies every year, finishing 2nd in finals and in the league is still a better achievement that sitting midtable and being knocked out in the group stages.
So yeah, Klopp has won sweet feck all at Liverpool yet Mourinho who won us a glorious EL and league cup while finishing 6th has rightly been sacked because he was taking us nowhere.
