Come to think of it, I’ve never seen him and Amber Rudd in the same room. Must have been difficult keeping up that double life like that.

2 draws in the EPL, crunch match away to Chelsea coming up and Roma, Liverpool's season is unraveling.

Sky Sports now reporting it, I was waiting for somewhere more reputable to report it

Slightly concerning tbh

Yeah, looks like it's true. Odd timing but who knows, could even be a good thing if they've not been getting on? (Always look on the bright side....). :)

Hopefully it’s not a health concern that’s forced this.

If this guy is the one behind their attacking football, and previously Dortmund's, we should snape him up.

Yeah, I'll get my coat.

That’s an absolute disaster to have a few days before a CL semi final.

Just about every newspaper and tabloid is reporting on this now, it has to be true.

Odd that Castles beat all of the Liverpool-based hacks to this - a case of them deliberately not reporting it so as to avoid negative consequences for the CL campaign, perhaps.

Regardless, it looks to be true.

Would be weird as it'd be pretty obvious come matchday vs Roma. I agree it looks to be true - there's way too much smoke for there not to be some fire here.

Feck, Kloppy and the brain are parting ways. who is going to drive home their only tactic?

Brainvac: We must prepare for tomorrow night. Kloppy : Why? What are we going to do tomorrow night? Brainvac: The same thing we do every game, Kloppy - pass the ball to Salah!

They're Kloppy, and the Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain!

Very strange timing.

Hope it’s due to a fall out and not anything health related, as I don’t see why he’d leave at the moment.

Nice one Big Dunc, breaking the Scouse bad news embargo. Jose will see you handsomely rewarded for this.

He hasnt left though
He probably has. Why would an assistant manager not work on the first team? Will leave at the end of the season.

As if Castles was gonna lie about such a specific issue. Not everything is fake news.

So Castles distorted things as usual. Says something about the media that that bald cnut is still employed as a journalist.

Could do without the distraction, but the squad will have been drilled all season. Losing him would have been more of a long term negative than anything - but it's hopefully nothing health related and he returns to pre-season reinvigorated.

Liverpool journos all saying personal reasons.

Could be that they're just covering till the end of the season, but equally wouldn't be surprised to learn Castles heard half a story and saw a chance to stir it in the most damaging way possible without considering the severity of the situation. I still find it strange that friends and colleagues of 17 years could fall out so dramatically in the space of a week.

This is more likely posturing by Liverpool and he'll end up leaving at the end of the season. Why would an assistant not work with the first team?

Looking at last summer and now, Castles definitely has a source in Liverpool. Could be Buvac himself.

If it was personal issues, he wouldn't be involved at all.

Yeah, assistant not working with the first team sounds normal?
Something has happened between him and Klopp.

Suddenly you decide to trust Duncan Castles as reliable. Hmm, not suspicious at all. :)

When has he not worked with the first team?

All of the LFC sources are stating that it's a break, as a result of a personal issue. That could be a range of things - bereavement or ill personal health. If he was leaving permanently why would they put off confirmation?

Big match two days later. It'd be quite unsettling if they'd put out this news surely. If there was a bereavement, don't you think there's be an announcement at official website rather than leaking news through the favorite journalists?

Why does it have to be a bereavement?
