Yeah man, feels bad.You really loved her didn't you?
He brought them there in the first place, it's hardly a surprise that you're unable to continually improve when you lose your best players and you don't have the finances to bring in quality replacements.Klopp also had a massive meltdown at Dortmund after 3 very solid seasons. If he had that much influence and power, he would be able to keep building the team ad eternum.
Rewind thew time and you had entire forums making fun of Klopp being unable to lift Liverpool and how lucky we were. 1 year ago nobody would consider Klopp better than Pep, not to mention way before.
They got the quality players right, with the right type of personality to fit in the mold and things go smooth for now.
It feels like a cycle that Chelsea fans warned United fans about, we convinced ourselves maybe he had changed and now it's your turn.Really enjoyed his first press conference, he is saying all the right things and it's very encouraging. I have high hopes.
Klopp's meltdown coincided with losing his best players to Munich; it's easy to win when everything is stacked in your favor money wise and personnel wise (as is in Pep's case). Klopp can compete, and if odds are evened he will outperform as was the case during BVB and now at Liverpool.Klopp also had a massive meltdown at Dortmund after 3 very solid seasons.

The team Klopp had at Dortmund were still a lot better than their what league position suggested.Klopp's meltdown coincided with losing his best players to Munich; it's easy to win when everything is stacked in your favor money wise and personnel wise (as is in Pep's case).

The bolded part is absolutely false.
Of course, and Klopp would be the first to admit that.The team Klopp had at Dortmund were still a lot better than their what league position suggested.
The 47-year-old German asked to be released from his contract, which had been due to run until 2018.
"It's not that I'm tired, I've not had contact with another club but don't plan to take a sabbatical," he said.
Klopp told a news conference: "I always said in that moment where I believe I am not the perfect coach anymore for this extraordinary club I will say so.
"I really think the decision is the right one. This club deserves to be coached from the 100% right manager."
Referring to the departures of Mario Gotze and Robert Lewandowski to Bayern Munich over the past two summers, he added: "I chose this time to announce it because in the last few years some player decisions were made late and there was no time to react."

And ?The team Klopp had at Dortmund were still a lot better than their what league position suggested.
Exactly.And ?
I'd volunteer to arrange a taxi or even do the driving myself.Can you imagine the uproar if he tries to sign McTominay.

You don’t rate McTominay? You should’ve said.I'd volunteer to arrange a taxi or even do the driving myself.
As was their performance alot better than what league position suggested. Using expected goals or points, they were the second best team that year just behind us. That was just an insane freak season where they failed to hit the goal for tens of games in a row. That's why I'm not even sure if Pochettino is going to be a hit for his next club since Spurs actually deserve to be where they are right now.The team Klopp had at Dortmund were still a lot better than their what league position suggested.
And ?
And so the inference that him losing key players to Bayern being a major driving force behind such catastrophic form is not really sufficient as an explanation. That's what the post below (which I replied to) suggested anyway:Exactly.
Yeah, he's not expected to win the league if his key players go to Bayern. But that Dortmund team did far, far worse than that. And yes, I agree it's mainly due to it being the end of a cycle etc.Klopp's meltdown coincided with losing his best players to Munich; it's easy to win when everything is stacked in your favor money wise and personnel wise (as is in Pep's case).

He said it coincided, which it did.And so the inference that him losing key players to Bayern being a major driving force behind such catastrophic form is not really sufficient as an explanation. That's what the post below (which I replied to) suggested anyway:
Mostly Eric Dier, I reckon, but yes Kane is another.Kane, yes.
But also we were after a Spurs' centre back (probably Toby A), last season. Woodward said, "no" and that our CBs were as good. Woodward also said the same about Maguire (ie. that our CBs were just as good and would later do a 180, get rid of Smalling and buy Maguire).
We then played Spurs at OT, with all CBs on display and our CBs were absolute dog-shite. Everytime Spurs attacked, they got a shot off on goal.
Our attack that day, wasn't bad, though.
He had same quality players at Chelsea, and OT, but he seems to after a while alienate those players, ie Hazard, Pogba etc he so engineers the sack when he's had enough, it's been a pattern in his last few jobs, and I can see the same with spurs.I think he is still a good manager, how well he does depends on how he handles himself after being denied what he thinks he needs. Even last season when he had lost the dressing room and was in total meltdown there were few signs that he still knew what he was doing - I am think of that Newcastle comeback and the win away to Juve.
At Spurs he has Son, Kane, Moura and he will like the Belgian duo at the back. There is every possibility of him doing quite great things with that side.
What's interesting is that within a few hours of his appointment Spurs are going after Campos. Exposing the lie that Woodward briefed about Jose not wanting a Sporting Director in and how much of a joke our attempts at recruiting one are. If they pull it off then it proves once and for all that Woodward is the one blocking this appointment.
No one's beating him with a stick. I was simply pointing out that his squad post losing players to Bayern was still of a high quality and expected to perform much better in that season.He said it coincided, which it did.
Furthermore, the effect of having to replace key players again and again shouldn't be underestimated either. After a long period of being competitive, the entire team collapsed and Klopp felt he wasn't in the right state to continue.
I have no idea why anyone would use this as a stick to beat him with anyway, he was a key part of turning that Dortmund side into a quality side that set records in the league, won two league titles, the double, reached a champions league final.
Yes and as pointed out earlier, the performances indicated that they were still the second best team that season. The repeated losses were just a statistical anomaly. That's why both Dortmund and Klopp with Liverpool did well the following season.No one's beating him with a stick.

What happened with him? I liked him as a poster and didn't see his posts in the RWC threadThat squishy guy deserves Mourinho's boring ass Football, for disrespecting my country before the Rugby World Cup final. Feel sorry for other Spurs fans though, they are quite a likeable bunch.
It feels like some guy took my ex girlfriend.
You’re weird.Feels like I got dumped and now she's getting dick off someone else.

Not sure if serious...So not liking to lose makes you a winner? Pretty low standards
Let's back up a bit though...He was a bad fit at United though.
Tell that to SAF. His 2013 title winning squad on paper looked a good squad but the reality was there were a lot of players on their last legs. Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Giggs, Scholes being called out of retirement. A midfield including Cleveley and Anderson and Rooney blowing hot and cold. The only 2 consistent performers were Carrick and RVP. So no. I don't agree with you that people are exaggerating too much the impact a manager has on a clubs success.He has to share responsibilities, but people are exaggerating way too much the impact a manager has on the club's success. And this also applies to Klopp and Pep.

If it sounds like a stick and looks like a stick, it's probably a stick
Baffling comments from them considering how much of monumental failure moroniho and his signings have been. He was meant to win us major honours not two tin pots.RAWKy

I can guarantee you that spurs fan's won't be bitter if he wins what he did for United. We have totally different expectations and levels of appreciation than what United fans are accustomed to, as we've had only 2 cups in the last 30 years or so.I'm going to enjoy watching all the resident Spurs fans get their hopes up and then gradually descend into bitter hatred just like what happened to us.
Imagine Fergie saying this?Let's back up a bit though...
He was a bad fit with the current Utd board - but the club itself I don't think so. He's the most similar manager to Fergie we've had post Fergie, so to say that he didn't ft United itself is untrue.
We currently have a manager who plays utterly shit footy, gets crap results and is a proven failure in top level management - surely more of a 'bad fit' for Utd than Mourinho.
Read it back mate.Imagine Fergie saying this?
No, didn't think so!
Jose is all about himself, fergie was magnanimous.Read it back mate.
Where did I say that everything Mourinho says will something that Fergie would've said...?
My statement was that Mourinho is the most similar manager to Fergie that we've had post Fergie - which he is, by far.
