Things only said on a Manchester United forum. Nowhere else is this believed. You don't have to rebuild a team after it's cycle is over like Fergie to be a good manager.
So what… you just crumble? Don’t change anything and walk away from a team where the fans think highly of you?

I mean, most managers get sacked nowadays before they get the chance to rebuild. But still, it's a batty standard to hold off calling a manager good until he's built a second successful team at the same club...

If you reach the end of the road it's the right thing to walk away, yes.

Klopp has given the green light for 2 more midfielders in the January window, despite there being 10 options already. Bellingham and Musiala are the two names being thrown about in that article by the way. Then I scrolled down and saw that "Heung Min Son could move to Liverpool this summer".

Absolute nonsense!!
Liverpool’s owners aren’t paying £100m plus for Bellingham, let alone paying out more cash for additional players.

Four Four Two is terrible for transfer news anyway.

Let's say he walks away next summer or not so long thereafter. What's the consensus on his next move?
Real? Barca? An Italian club? Another English club? Bayern/German club? German NT? Takes a year or two away?

I don't think he goes to Bayern. For all his faults he comes across as loyal, and I remember him being irked by having his best players being poached by them while he was at Dortmund.

Real is a possibility if/when Ancelotti retires or moves on. But before that I honestly think he takes some time off. He looks absolutely spent.

Which would fit as a timeline, Ancelotti isn't gone until after next season, so Klopp would have time before starting there

Those are definitely not his kind of clubs in terms of ethos/positioning.

IMHO Atletico Madrid, Inter and Marseille would be the most fitting in the other big leagues he never coached in.

Latter two never happening, Atletico could really be an option if and when Simeone pulls the plug there.

He's done the underdog thing so far but I think his next job will be for a side that's dominant in the league.

Imagine Atletico fans having endured shit on a stick tactics for years and then getting heavy metal football.

I think the heavy metal bit actually came from Buvac. It's quite visible that after he left, they've become a long ball side bailed out through moments of individual brilliance. It helped that the players like Van Dijk, Salah, Mane were in their physical prime and having won nothing of note till then, were super hungry. There's no heavy metal being produced by their new crop of attackers like Nunes, Elliot, Diaz, Jota.

Think he’s already stated he won’t manage a club where he can’t speak the language as a big part of his management is communicating with players. Think his next job is most likely the German national team job, Bayern maybe or retirement.

For some reason I’ve always pictured klopp joining Madrid one day. Spanish won’t be that hard to learn if he doesn’t already know it.

Say what you will about him as a Liverpool manager, but he’s fundamentally in the right place when it comes to his wider view on things. He’s great.

Could not agree more. He is spot on in that video above.

The journalists acting as if they all of a sudden care abt the situation in Qatar and trying to put these footballers and managers on the spot. They just want drama and are looking to create stories. Effin assholes.

Not sure that’s correct. I mean what playing squad these days all speaks the same language?

Bet he ends up sucking on the teet of an oil baron before he retires.

That's why opposition fans hate him. Because he's not what they hope he turns into.
A couple of years ago he said he'd never spend big on players. Then promptly signed VD and the keeper. Then Nunez this summer.

If you think he'll turn down some immoral club's massive offer in years to come you must be pretty deluded.

He had no problem going to Qatar with Liverpool in 2019. The guy is a total hypocrite yet again. Asking others to give up their world cup while he had no problem going to Qatar for his own competition.

Like the time he said he would retire from football before spending Pogba money on players and then went and broke the transfer record for a Goalkeeper and transfer record for a defender over the course of two summers?

He literally said to let everyone get on with the World Cup as the questions should have been asked when it was first awarded, when did he ask anyone to give up the World Cup?
