"Klopp was caught red handed tapping up VVD - what did the football authorities do ? [/QUOTE]

Liverpool said, oops, sorry, we slipped up.

Statement in full:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40194862

"Liverpool Football Club would like to put on record our regret over recent media speculation regarding Southampton Football Club and player transfers between the two clubs.

"We apologise to the owner, board of directors and fans of Southampton for any misunderstanding regarding Virgil van Dijk.

"We respect Southampton's position and can confirm we have ended any interest in the player."

The football authorities looked the other way and saw nothing.

Doesn't appear that Klopp was asked about this at his midday press conference

I'd be annoyed if it was reversed and Pep was asked, it has nothing to do with klopp he wasn't there then.

It doesn't have anything directly to do with Klopp and his own conduct but I think it is worth asking him for his comments because it affects the image of the club he manages.

Exactly why we, the fans, should be pestering the FA, the Premier League, the ECA, UEFA and FIFA demanding answers.

I take it you have done so yourself?

I can confirm City have been asking questions of why the media hasn't picked this up and ran with it more?

Bemused, isn't the word.

I've spoken to some people at said outlets, the lame response being if City had told us at the time...

Nothing to do with legal threats, The Times haven't been hit with anything since they published.

Simply the City haters sticking together.

Chills my journalistic soul.

All of them are in with Liverpool. Whether that’s through fear or through brown envelopes I don’t know but the media is just littered with a bunch of snivelling, soft, arse licking, sycophantic little shits who will not have the name of Liverpool dragged down.

Is correct.

If this was the other way round, Pep would have been burned at the stake in his presser.

Yep

Why are these envelopes always brown?

If it were me, I’d use a nice little pink one with pictures of unicorns.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Yep

Well in.

What did they reply with?
