He looks a right fecking wanker. As does everyone associated with Liverpool.
As opposed to us left wanking feckers!
Always talked a big game, interesting to see if he can back it up or if it all goes a bit Meulensteen for him.
Let's take a pause out of our misery and rejoice in the absolute disaster job this fraud is delivering at RB Salzburg 
It’s a pity Liverpool never gave this clown the gig after Klopp fecked off.

Bad result on the weekend but they're 5th, 6 points off top with 2 games in hand.
In a one team leaue ...
They had some heavy losses in the CL also but mainly because they concede way to easily...
They won 2 of their last 8 games, which is absolutely disastrous by their standards.
Same as us
3-0 defeat on CL matchday 1 at Sparta Prag, then on MD 2 a 0-4 hammering to Stade Brest at home in mid week (and these were two of their easiest opponents, the last 4 matchdays are Inter, Leverkusen, Real and Atletico..) followed by a 5-0 spanking by Sturm Graz. They are spiralling after just a few weeks..
ExactlySame as us
Mulensteen it is
I wonder how much Klopp's new job will affect him
His record in CL:
Sparta Prag vs Red Bull 3 - 0
Red Bull vs Stade Brest 0 - 4
Red Bull vs Dinamo Zagreb 0 - 2
Not sure how it is possible to be so bad

Those are all games they should be winning. 0-9 is a bad look.
Been crap in the league too.
I realised who he is when I watched a Klopp interview where every question was about Pep and every answer seemed really bizarre for a rival manager. Good to know he’s a crap manager.
I remember that quite a few Liverpool fans wanted this guy to take over from Klopp.
Winless in 4 games in the league, lost consecutive games against both Linz clubs, 14 points off first place. The guy is a textbook fraud and we all knew it when Liverpool hyped him up to be the brain behind the operation.
I get the feeling Klopp only took that ridiculous Red Bull job in order to be able to sack Lijnders with a dose of crocodile tears.

Can't he just be a good assistant but a poor head coach? Lijnders has been bigged up in all his assistant jobs, but also messed up when he was briefly head coach at NEC previously. More specifically, they loved him at Liverpool, then he messed up at NEC, and he came back to Liverpool where he was lauded again. Similarly to Meulenstein, that just sounds like someone who isn't cut out for the head coach job.
(I also wish the word 'fraud' wasn't used so cheaply, but anyway. I guess it has taken on this meaning now.)
and he's gone...
I wonder if Jurgen Klopp had any involvement in the decision to fire him, you would think Klopp would have wanted him to stay.
when the players don’t respond to your gurning, then you know it’s time to walk away.
i reckon he's a good bet and worth a cheeky fiver for Southampton's next manager
How did he even manage to have them 5th in a one team league?
The headline should be Pep sacked.
It's not a one team league anymore, Red Bull are just crap these days. They've pushed the youth approach too far, selling all their valuable and more experienced assets, and are left with more or less an academy side with some decent (Austrian) Bundesliga players. They will address this problem in the winter transfer window, but I very much doubt they will catch Sturm, even though points will be halved after 22 games. Sturm have built a very consistent and experienced side over the years, I fully expect them to defend their title, as they are by quite some margin the best side in the country now.
I admit it also depends on what type of coach Salzburg will appoint. Struber and Lijnders have ranged from underwhelming to disaster.
Weird how being a good assistant just does not translate to being a good manager. These sort of things fail more often than not.
Pep sacked after plastic club who used their dodgy financial advantage and network of co-owned clubs to run roughshod over the league for the last decade find themselves in 5th.
