    Jurgen talking about his need to take a year off when he leaves us. His current contract expires in 2022.

    FSG, do whatever it takes to keep him -- a blank cheque so he can set his own salary to renew, give him a sabbatical so he rests up and then come back to us, whatever the hell it takes.

    Klopp, who joined the club in 2015 and has a contract to 2022, told Germany’s Kicker magazine: “I have absolute energy. But I have one problem. I can’t do ‘a little bit’. I can only do ‘all or nothing’. When I decide that I cannot do it any longer then I will take a break for a year.”

    They were just stunned, overwhelmed, befuddled, used to having more room and time.

    Liverpool dug deep to win on Sunday and become the first team to take maximum points from their first six games in successive seasons.

    Klopp's record in domestic affairs is formidable, with his tally of 92 victories in that time span only bettered by Jose Mourinho, who won 105 of his first 150 Premier League games.

    He very likely wrote this himself. In German, and then got it translated properly

    This article is 3-4 years old, written shortly after Klopp was appointed. I thought then and still believe it was a piss-take, but with serious undertones. However, I didn’t think it was possible for it to become more ridiculous, but oh, how it has aged. ;)

    If we did a poll around here for the worst contributor in this forum, s/he would still be light years ahead of this muppet.

    (A friend who thinks he knows the author, says if it is him, he’s a YerNited fan, which explains only a little).
