The former Dortmund manager has reportedly been approached by the club
It may be the worst kept secret at the moment, but as Liverpool fans, we’ve become a perennially pessimistic bunch (despite those claims that we always think ‘this is our year!’) and most assume we’ll hash up the signing of the popular German somehow.
But he has apparently confirmed that he’s at least had talks with LFC today, as the MailOnline claim.
According to the Mail’s site, Klopp was quizzed by a Bild journalist in Leverkusen. When asked about joining the 48 year old replied: “There’s nothing to say.
“Neither a definite yes nor a definite no. I’m going home now.”
Former Dortmund manager Klopp was reportedly in good spirits. So, if he is – as expected – about to take over at Anfield then he’s obviously fairly happy about it.
According to the Mail, FSG are due to hold a board meeting which will effectively ‘rubber stamp’ Klopp’s arrival as replacement for Brendan Rodgers.
Klopp’s had reportedly had reservations regarding the club’s existing ‘transfer committee’, having worked under a director of football at Borussia Dortmund. The only real sticking point for the German manager was that he have final say on signings, something which the club appear happy to grant.
Should all go smoothly, it is expected that Klopp will sign a three year contract before the end of the week and take over as the new Liverpool manager.
Can Klopp be the shot in the arm that Liverpool need? Let us know your thoughts below.
Well done FSG for listening to the fans . Whilst the fans were tweeting the owners in a polite manner for a new manager they knew it would eventually turn to anger unless swift action was taken. Klopp looks like the right choice but he will need time as the current squad is just not good enough.
let us give him a chance ,and we see what he will manager to do with our team,thnx
In my opinion i think he has what it take to take the club to the next level going by his history.
Klopp,obviously, is an upgrade of Rodgers,with due respect to Rodgers. Liverpool may not have ganered trophy,but patience they have
YES, for my own thought of few he can be as good as rafa benithez for liverpool becouse he knows who a big and excellent player are.
Bring back Rafa.
Klopp on, walk on, with hope in your heart, Klopp you’ll never walk alone.
Red men we want JK.
Yes JK will want he can do it, I mean to bring us back to the table, win trophies and qualify for champion league. JK reds fans need you.
Thanks FSG, we the fans really appreciates all your effort to bring Klopp to Anfield…if for him to have the final say on transfer(I know you already agreed to that), which we all know its best for both the manager and the club, is the option then I see nothing holding us back. YNWA
Thank God FSG have listened to de fans dis time round.# Klopp for de Kop is amazing news.Looking forward to achieving greater things with JK.
You are now talking, this is what majority of us (fans) have craved for so long. Now we are sure of champions league spot. LIVERPOOL FOR LIFE. JK I WANT TO ASSURE U, YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE.
