I'm very sad

You're going to find plenty of United fans who are trying to say he's ****, in the same way Pool fans would if ye were linked with someone and then they went to us. But regardless of what those sorts of fans say, a lot of that negative reaction will come from the fact they are overcompensating for their true feelings.

He's a major nab for you lot. Going to be paying far closer attention to Pool matches now, and am envious ye got him.

Congrats....

I swear to Fowler, the first time Klopp runs up the touchline and jumps head first into the Kop after we score an injury time winner against Man U, i'm going to punch somebody in the face.

Even if that face is mine, i don't care.

Same thing has been said on here numerous times by United fans and a 'non United' fan.

I hope Klopp knows what he's doing, he's about to go from being highly coveted to overrated quicker than Clyne did.

To be honest, I think Clyne is a bit overrated. He's solid at the back but doesn't offer much going forward. I'd prefer the socuse cafa (flanaghan - I genuinely forgot his real name and he'll prob be crap if he ever gets back) in there but then he'd be better utilised at left back instead of Moreno.

When its confirmed I might just have a tear in my eye.

He's an absolute coup, there's no doubt about it. The only people almost as happy as Liverpool fans are the British media.

Great appointed if it happens(I don't want to jinx it....). You can tell by the reaction of opposition fans. The sensible ones are very worried and would have much preferred someone else while the stupid ones are spending their time telling us how over-rated he is. I can only imagine the reaction if we'd hire someone like Gary Monk, opposition fans praising it in their droves.

BMMachine · 07-10-2015 08:40PM

I always thought those RAWK pictures were trollbait made by anti-liverpool supporters (you know, those guys who follow Man Utd as an excuse to sh*t on everybody else). If they are actually made by Liverpool fans than they need to take a step back and think about what they are doing. Terrible Terrible lemon Terrible

Im very excited though with Klopp. It almost seems like a perfect fit. We still have massive problems in the players we transferred - namely having no real wingers, but anything was better than the past few weeks. Reminded me far too much of Paul Konchesky, Roy Hodgsen and Christian Poulsen... horrible stuff

J Mysterio · 07-10-2015 08:40PM

OH MY GOD ITS SO EXCITING!

Most people forget all about Steve Finnan, but he's one of the finest right back's we've ever had. He'd get into any Liverpool team. Defensively solid and he was superb going forward and whipping in a cross.

You can't be saying a player is overrated and then say you'd rather put a player in there who is even more overrated.

Caovyn Lineah · 07-10-2015 08:53PM

Is this the first time in the history of this thread that everyone has been excited about anything?

P.S I'm cautious but fairly excited.

While there is no doubting the credibility (or lack there of) of the majority of the English press, the last two comments came on the back of BD winning two leagues, coming second and getting to the champions league final. As perfectly illustrated by BR, 2 years is a helluva long time in football nowadays and can ring massive changes of fortune. Still doesn't make Klopp any less of a great coach of course but football pundits and fans alike are at the best of times a fickle bunch.

Rob Jones was outstanding too before his dodgy back stopped him. He'd have kept Neville on his toes in the England side.

Why would you possibly be cautious?

We're on the verge of a MASSIVE upgrade in manager. It may not work out, but we've a better chance of being successful than we had last week

Because I'm open minded enough to realise that his form in Germany simply might not transfer to England. The players we have might not take to his way of playing, as someone else said earlier, can you see Sturridge pressing from the front for 90 minutes?

Nothing would make me happier than seeing him succeed but it's OK to be slightly worried too.

Of course it mightn't work, but at worst he doesn't perform and we're flipping about between 5th & 8th and therefore no worse than Rodgers.

He is a proven winner though, something we've been sorely lacking.

As I said, this switch improves our chances of success therefore it seems silly to be worried, particularly when you weren't about Rodgers at the helm

I do get your point, but what Klopp achieved gives him a hell of a lot more time than what Rodgers achieved.

If i was a Dortmund fan, there's not a chance i'd have been calling for him to be sacked during that final season simply because of what he had already achieved.

If the following season was going the same way, sure, i would then have doubts. But even then, i'd still be backing him.

Id have to agree with all this, I'm very excited to see him manage in the PL and i reckon he will have Pool challenging for the top 4 this season no doubt.

Im still hoping that Klopp is a smokescreen for Gary Monk :pac:

Francie Barrett · 07-10-2015 09:10PM

Klopp now 1/50 with the bookies - it looks like this is really happening!

Turtyturd · 07-10-2015 09:10PM

Maybe 'The Klopp' could change his name to 'The Rodgers' then everyone is happy.

Magico Gonzalez · 07-10-2015 09:10PM

Happy he is coming, had a small preference for Ancelotti, but on board with zee Kloppmania.

Does anyone actually know what went wrong at Dortmund? What was behind the collapse of fortunes? Champs to struggling back up to 7th?

I've said it already, Klopp isn't a surefire thing at all. And if that turns out to be the case, then we'll deal with it down the road. But now is the time to be excited.

This is our best appointment since Rafa.

Tipsy McSwagger · 07-10-2015 09:11PM

It's more than likely the deal was done a few weeks ago, probably after the United match, but FSG are respecting Rodgers by waiting nearly a week before they announce Klopp as manager.

The loss of Lewandowski coupled with a ridiculous injury situation.

Absolutely.

If he isn't given a minimum of 2.5 seasons then there is no point giving him the job. It will take time to get rid of the dead wood, gets in some of his players and get them gelled.

Im quite looking forward to seeing his first presser tbh. Managers of his ilk bring more attention to the league and by extension make it more attractive to the upper tier footballers in the world. Not necessarily to sign for LFC but it makes the league a more exciting proposition in general imo.
