Do tell.

Mind you, Pep Guardiola comes across as a ruthless bastard as well, and I hope Carlo Ancelotti is because Everton need one. And Fergie, we all know about.

I meant it as a compliment. I think Klopp is a great manager. He has shaken Liverpool to the rafters, a bit like Mancini did at City. When he came into Liverpool he upset a lot of people there who had become complacent in all areas of the club. Apparently he is a total bastard to work for with the backroom staff and the players under constant pressure. He is said to be moody and difficult.
He is exactly the person LFC needed after years of failure. With the media he is mostly "Mr Happy" but sometimes the mask slips.
I rate Ancelotti as well but he may have mellowed too much with age to turn Everton round. I hope he does though.

Klopp is very clearly a massive serial killer in waiting.

'Wack'...or 'Wacker' is an older term. A bit like saying 'Mate'. I do remember older guys saying it but I have not heard it said for years.

Thanks perhaps l got mixed up with what she said.
It reminds me of going to a match in Liverpool at a time when you would be asked the time and if you replied in the wrong accent you were in bother.
My mate's master plan was to reply 'l don't know, wack' but it was all in a Manchester accent.
A bit worrying but more so that this genius worked for British Nuclear Fuels!

Oh yeah, I was agreeing with you. All the best managers are arseholes, they have to be in this job. I wouldn't want to get on Pep's bad side. Not that I'm suggesting he's a bully or anything, he just comes across as very strict.

I hope he does as well because Everton suffer from the same complacency. There are players who've been here since Koeman who only seem to perform when they feel like it, and there's a bit of an old boys' club mentality with our backroom staff, though I blame Kenwright for that. I honestly don't think we'll ever progress much while he's around.
 
Has the result from last night been ratified yet?
I thought Herr Klopp was appealing like Trump
 
Nobody at work is talking about it, probably 70% scouse fans, odd that football is off the agenda today, wonder why?

I used to meet Kenwright quite a bit via a mutual friend. You couldn't meet a nicer man or a more ardent Everton fan. But he's the last person you would want to run your football club. I believe Everton's demise was because he clung on for too long. In my view fans are almost always rubbish at running football clubs because they make too many emotional decisions.

The actual result was "Liverpool was unable to score more goals than their opponents."
I recall many years ago, a new employee at Rolls Royce, being given his first sales lesson "Remember, our cars never break down, they merely fail to go".

Atalanta shouldn't have even been playing at Anfield last night. They dodn't have enough 'istry to qualify for the champions league.

Bang on, it is teams like Atalanta that are ruining the Champs League. They don't care about 'istry, fancy not letting li'pool shoot never mind scoring and then having the cheek to score themselves at the world famous ground*

*That's not the one that cost them 50 mill - that one was never built. It's the one where they forced out local people from their homes to build a bigger stand
