"Speaking to
Lord Ping, Hamann said: "I don’t even think you can make the comparison between who is better.
Guardiola took over a title-winning side."
No he didn't you fucking bellend - we'd just finished 4th ffs! We didn't win the league the season before that either. Klopp actually took over a side that had just missed out to us in the league 17 months previous, whereas Pep took over a side that hadn't won the league for 2 seasons. Both managers came in at a time when their respective squads needed an overhaul so the situations were broadly similar. As it happens, Pep won us the title in his 2nd full season and Klopp didn't win it until his 4th full season. He also had virtually a full season and a free hit in 2015/16 after Rodgers had been sacked - a season where Leicester won the league.
Hamann has become a right bitter bastard since he left us. I get that Liverpool are closer to his heart than City but that's some proper bullshit he's spouting there. Robbie Fowler talks a lot more sense. Again, Liverpool are his team but he clearly has a soft spot for both us and Leeds.
