fair enough, i think vast majority of fans for every club would never allow a ref to handle their games if they called the team and manager that.
I think it needs perspective, he did not call Liverpool and in fact said he liked Milner, he called Klopp who is now an ex manager.
He’s opinion of Klopp is from personnel opinion as opposed to a dislike because of who he managed.
A lot of fans disliked Klopp, but may have liked him if he managed their club.
This is not that, he did not like him because they had a professional disagreement which Klopp made public and probably caused him issues.
The issue is both set of fans will assume in a 50/50 this video has determined outcome, against Liverpool because Klopp is a C, or for Liverpool because he is too scared to give anything against them.
The truth for me is this video puts in question his judgment, talking on film, back at some kids house a lot younger and it does have at best after the pub vibes a few more drinks, to possibly on the coke.
Apparently his defence is he doesn’t remember it.
That for me is his issue, if he had been caught on camera saying it without knowing he was filmed etc.
I would have more sympathy.
For the record I think most refs probably think most managers are C’s at times.
They probably think us fans are too.
They still want to get decisions right.
