As others have posted something definitely going on yet not a peep from the media or any sort of leaks it’s as if something is being suppressed..

He's given out hints but the media are too thick to pick on them, in his last two press conferences he's pointed out that they are to blame for the noise and drama and also the bombardment of inane questioning have tired him.

Even back in November, Plopp said the home fans need to cheer the team on the pitch instead of waiting for him to gurn at the officials or touchline antics with opposition managers to gee them up which he has now found exhausting.

I would agree to a degree...in that I think the timing of the announcement is all about the transfer market. However, my take on it is that there was a view that transfers would be difficult if it was known and planned that Klopp was leaving at the end of the year. Any player talking with the club would be asking questions about manager, his plans, how long he was staying and how they would fit in. If he was going then telling players/agents in advance would cause issues and mean that word would get out.
As for the future of VVD or Salah, once again its a case of the media wanting anything to make a story. New manager will come in and may want new players, new style and so no player is going to say that they will be 100% about their place or what they will do. That said, FSG have often sold players on big money to save their bottom line profit, so its entirely possible they will try and sell valuable "assets" whilst they still hold some value.

And away from all the media speculation and bullshit, it's back to the football tonight...and 2 games that could well determine whether we are going to run you lot close come May. Failure to get 6/4 points out of these next games could well be the difference.

I don’t agree with your first paragraph on the basis that you can circumvent those potential issues by already having a replacement lined up. I’m sure the board would have preferred to announce klopps departure and then announce a decent successor…..that didn’t happen which suggests to me that the timing was out of their hands for some reason.

There was a lot of talk about Salah leaving/being sold through Nov/Dec, and the recent headlines about VvD suggest not all is well at Anfield…..

As for the league, I think you’ll run us close anyway …
 
A consortium led by FSG are about to invest $3bn in the PGA tour. Interesting.

Presumably a lot of golfers will now suddenly be struck down by asthma, or will be complaining that they didn't win because the grass was too long, it was too windy, their feet were cold or a witch had placed a curse on them.
