I was expecting loads of navel gazing opinion pieces in the media today, predicting the death of football.
After all, Jurgen klopp, the big hearted man of the people, working class hero, anti-corporate trail blazer, spouter of "this means more" Scouse spoofery, champion of "doing it right", has taken the sugar-coated pay check, from a multi-club, financially doped, no history, billionaire's plaything.
Where are Miguel Delaney, Eamon Sweeny, Henry winter, Dan Roan, Barney Ronay? Nothing to say lads? Hypocrisy, filthy money corrupting the game, a nothing franchise trying to buy prestige? Anyone anything to say?
You wouldn't waste time before knocking City for similar. What does it mean when Jurgen goes to work for Red Bull, so soon after the adoration of Anfield? The totemic figurehead of all that's good about football, the purveyor of real passion, the symbol of a City, it's people, club and culture. He heads up a sugary drink owned, recently formed, football conglomerate. Does it mean more? Let's hear from ye lads.
