According to his ex boss. Glad he hasn't fulfilled that dream.

Klopp dreamt of managing United
- Thread starter Fridge chutney
- Start date
Can't blame him. Who wouldn't.
He aimed for the top and got the Kop.
Wanted to rule, ended up in pool.
Correct.
He dared to dream.
Glad it was just a dream not turned to reality.
I remember a lot of United fans dreaming about him taking over after SAF. Especially after that 12/13 season with Dortmund. Funny how things have changed.
In an alternate universe there's a thread on here praising Klopp's psycho outbursts on the touchline.
I know a lot of people like to give him slack, but there were A LOT of posters on this board praising him wildly when he was Dortmund. Some wanted him to replace Moyes.
And a lot of you would have been excited if he became our manager.
I'd love to have said Moyes
And I wonder how that would have turned out. Would we end up with Matip as our CB and Karius in goal? Do you think he would do better than he is doing at 'pool with our resources?
In fairness some people wanted ME to replace Moyes, it was a low standard.
I imagine. We would still be playing with Cleverley in midfield.
To give somebody slack means you're being less harsh, not more... I think you mean give him stick
Everyone will have a dream to manage Manchester United and yet funny enough we gave that position to Moyes of all people.
I'd want his sideline charisma and personality combined with Mous tactical brilliance and squad management.
But can't get to the top. It's uncanny...
I was one of the many that wanted him back then, Dortmund was the flavour of the month and I thought his style suited us to a tee back then, he was my first pick to replace SAF and Moyes (anyone would have done then really).
Now he's obviously like tainted meat, and I can't stand his mannerisms, maybe I was just looking through a small window at him at Dortmund, at 'pool he's a raging lunatic second only to Rafa in the lost marbles department.

To be honest Klopp at United with our funds he'd have done well. He's obviously a top manager whether people want to admit it or not.
For some weird reason on October 8, 2015 people here just all of a sudden stopped rating Jurgen Klopp. I can not possibly guess why.
Easy to forget, but Klopp was the hipsters favourite back in 2013. I thought he would have been much better at Liverpool than he has. Not improving that defense and excusing mediocre performances will be the end of him eventually.
I think many stopped rating since the start of this year. I always thought he was one of the best managers but having seen him in the league which I follow week in week out , I do not find him anything special.
I wonder where we'd be if he was our manager, with this squad this season? We'd probably be poor defensively, but would have de Gea to bail us out.
I wanted him after Sir Alex, but from what we’ve seen of him since that time then he doesn’t seem like a manager ambitious enough for a really big club.
I suspect he isn’t capable of coping with the pressure and expectations of such a club, otherwise he wouldn’t have signed such a long deal with a club like Liverpool when the likes of us, Barca, Real, maybe Juve not to mention the sugar daddy clubs could have come calling for him at any time.
He seems to have limited himself with his choice of club, which I suppose is his prerogative.

Well, that explains why he is so bitter about everything related to United these days. Poor guy is jealous of United and Jose.
That's not true. I remember it being a day we were all jealous and angry that Liverpool got Klopp and we were still stuck with LVG. Nobody stopped rating him, maybe they started hating him or at least true to, but the lack of rating him started in the new year after we realised Liverpool were all fart and no shit.
He wanted to be "the man", got a job with no dental plan.
Agree. Liverpool is a shit club. Thier only recent semblance of success was based on SAS and they sold the best two players of that combo.
His dream, our nightmare.
This.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANTo give somebody slack means you're being less harsh, not more... I think you mean give him stick
Don't understand this weird consensus that's after forming which suggests Klopp isn't a top quality manager.
Liverpool haven't had a great month but they are a very good team that will do well.

There's still time.
Lunatics led by a loon. Agree.OP said:
I dream of managing united too... Seriously, who doesn't?? 
Liverpool dont have the money and secondly there are five other top teams vying for one position. Something has to give.
one of very few candidates who is a very good fit. If he'd been willing to spend, I think he'd have built a fantastic team. Major weakness though is lack of winning big trophies experience, which I think is essential for our club.
Not sure it will happen in the future now, especially with Pottechino and Zidane likely to be still working whn Mourinho eventualy leaves.
