Klopp to leave Liverpool at the end of the season

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
In terms of what he achieved with English sides, the Porto and Inter stuff doesn't come into it.

Ok fair enough.
Completely over the top reaction to the goofy weirdo leaving, shouldn't be surprised seeing as it's them lot.
Excellent manager no doubt about that, but you'd swear he won the league 13 times, 2 CLs 5 FA cups in the time he's been here.
Charisma and passion they call it, I'd call it snide back handed compliments and a constant bullying of officials.
Good riddance.

Every top manager does that though.
What do you mean “after Mourinho”? The currently active Mourinho hasn’t been a top manager for nearly a decade.
“The data department has been profiling replacements since November”
the data department on 1/11/23 -
“errrrm ..Xabi Alonso? …. Yeahhhh… pub?”

No one gets away with it like he does though.His deranged antics on the touchline are a disgrace, but he flashes those gnashers and everyone says how great he is.
Anyway, I'm delighted he's going for obvious reasons.
Nice guy off the pitch probably, professionally he’s a total cnut. Good news for us.
SAF did often.
Winning the Champions League is impressive but it's a tier below willing EPL and UCL in the same year.
You can't call yourself "European Champions" because you won the UCL if you aren't even the best team domestically.
Applying the same logic would mean Wigan were "English Champions" for their 2013 FA Cup win despite finishing 20th domestically.

I was simply re emphasizing the point. Rather than intending to shout. My bad
Many people tend to try and play down what he did like it was piss easy because had deep pockets on the spending front. Yet arguably its harder thanks to the added pressure expense piles on. I mistook your initial response for that. I'm glad we are finally on the same page.
I'd take anyone from anywhere that improved us. Just as well football was less tribal about these things in the days of Busby and Law!
Like your passion, but that's just such ludicrous logic it's hilarious.
Obviously English champions would be the English league winners.
As there is no European league, obviously the biggest European cup gives the European champions.
Whether they can claim to be the "best" team in Europe is more up for dispute, as they'd not come ahead of another team in the English league, that'd be a better angle for your argument.
Well you can't call yourselves the best team in Europe for beating fecking Spurs.
European Champions 2018-2019*
*Beat Tottenham Hotspur in final.
It's like he has been given more credit for finishing second than actually wining trophies. A bit like the Leeds team of the 70s.
What about beating Bayern Munich, Barcelona and coming through a group with Napoli & PSG?
We had an easier run to the final in 21/22 and 17/18.
21/22 was perhaps the most insanely easy run to a CL final I've ever seen.
Looking forward to Liverpool starting next season minus Klopp and (I think this will happen) Salah too. No matter who they get it's only downhill next year.
He’s finished 8th, 5th, 4th twice, 3rd, 2nd twice and won it once and being heiled as some messiah.
In a 9 year spell they had a good 3 year run after he’d spent on record signings where apart from winning one league he won points total trophies.

Glad he is going, good riddance to the horrible cnut.
As others have said, the fact he only finished second twice to City appears to have gone over the Scouse-fellating media’s heads completely. You’d think big, bad City stopped Kloppo the Great from winning six titles on the spin the way he’s been feted. Mourinho and Solskjaer both finished second to City too and were caricatured as figures of fun.
Klopp did well at Liverpool but not deserving of the deification he’s receiving but are any of us genuinely surprised? On the plus side, Klopp cutting ties after eight years at the helm and not fancying a shot at a squad rebuild is only enhancing Ferguson’s sheer magnificence. Nobody comes close to the Great Man and let none of the Scouse gobshites suggest otherwise.

honestly, you’d think he’d gone on some mad five year run of winning the league and champs league with the way they’re going on about it. Most of them are certain he’ll get a statue… a statue ffs!!!
Pep has surpassed anyone who’s ever coached at this point. I don’t think SAF would be able to coach in this day and age with the way players are now with salaries, agents and the like. It’s a new sport and the Peps and Klopps of the world know how to deal with it.
Barca bound?
He definitely hasn't. He had one impressive run with Barca, failed at Bayern (in the sense that he was signed to improve them and he never reached Heynckes' last season) and got results totally on par with City's financial power.
Still fishing I see.
He really hasnt, its unbelievable how over-rated a manager who has never worked in a job where he actually has to manage the players he has got rather than having a virtually unlimited budget to buy any new player he wants is.
No it isn’t, when a team cheats it makes their achievement totally irrelevant, so winning by 1 point or 101 points it doesn’t matter.
Well no, Klopp obviously doesn’t know how to deal with it, otherwise he wouldn’t be leaving Liverpool at such a young age.
I am very surprised he is leaving if I’m being honest, considering how little he’s won and how much he’s spent. I thought he would have at least tried to win a bit more before he left.
SAF literally retired as league champion around one whole year before Klopp took charge at Liverpool.
What utter nonsense. He didn’t retire in the 90s for feck sake
His PL finishes :
8th
4th
4th
2nd
1st
3rd
2nd
5th
A good manager but terribly overrated.
Liverpool fans and the media are acting like they're losing Fergusons equal.

He's nothing short of brilliant. Those 2 seasons he finished 2nd it was incredibly unlucky not to earn a PL given how Liverpool played, and he hit the CL final twice too (?) whilst winning it once. He has won one of each cup and transcended players and milked their quality.
What I give him most respect for however, is his juggling his personal struggles and still being able to rebuild his teams. He lost his mother during the phase of those less impressive finishes and still managed to keep fighting. The spirit of the manager is very much seen in the way Liverpool have played under him, and Dortmund before that.
In the words of Liverpool’s own most vaunted legends, 2nd is nowhere
Highlighting he got to CL finals also emphasises how many finals he lost. Which is also an element that shows how overrated he is. Like winning finals isn't even important to judge him - the mere fact of reaching those finals is apparently a gold medal.
Not quite what I was eluding to. Liverpool were broadly a nothing club with a fluke Champions league in 2005 before him. He went in, spent a fraction of what Pep did (?) and won the CL in less time, whilst also winning their first ever PL. He also pushed Pep all the way despite having fewer resources 3 times. It's not just about what he won, but how he had Liverpool playing and how efficient he was. The points tally even in the seasons he came just short was insane.
He rebuilt the squad which was much needed after last year and would be unbeaten if not for that dubious Spurs loss earlier this season. All whilst grappling big personal losses.
So yeah, he's pretty good. I regard him as the best manager in the world and am quite sure Pep wouldn't achieve the same at Liverpool if the money hose were swapped. I don't think Klopp is overrated.
