Keys backing Klopp as per usual we can spend a shitload and the year later and other shitload

He can fuck off too, the chauvinistic, hairy-handed ****!

 

[Len Rum]

Correct me if I'm wrong but we passed the fit and proper owners tests on the takeover of the club and apart from the 'slap on the wrist' in 2014 we have complied with all UEFA and Premier League financial regulations.
So what's the problem?

Winning too many trophies.

Hair handed, daughter’s mate shagging, adulterous, sexist, grimey, fat ****

Winning too many trophies.

At the expense of the Red Shirts.

its an interesting case study. Do you think that Klopp honestly believes what he says or is it a very cynical script that LFC are pushing using him as a willing mouthpiece. I tend towards the latter but it is possible if he believes what he is fed by his masters that it’s the former.

good article mate.

I'd go for neither as I think it's just Klopp being Klopp, he comes across as a nice reasonable guy but occasionally the mask slips and you can see the real Klopp bearing his teeth (literally). If it's ever discovered that Liverpool have a serial killer roaming the streets I'd seriously have a look at him for it.

Swiss Ramble has recently reported on zero owner funding of LFC by the owners over the last five years.
Maybe that's the problem Kloppy!

The dippers play Forest next week.
In the interest of balance I'm sure Juergen will be pontificating pre match about how teams like Forest cannot compete with Liverpool on account of the spending power of his team.

Wow, he maybe a bit of a wanker off the pitch but Drog should be in the top two with Yaya ;)

I wrote something on Klopp. https://ninetythreetwenty.com/blog/jurgen-klopp-facts/

For some reason I read that as “Jurgen Klopp Farts”.

This is the whole point. Managers are punished every week for saying less damaging things than Klopp. He absolutely should be charged by the PL with bringing the game into disrepute and I suspect that once the match is out of the way City will report him to the PL. Whatever Klopp's precise weasel words he has essentially accused City of breaching FFP (saying we have limitless finance) and publishing false accounts by suggesting we are state-owned.
This is much more serious than a moronic freelance hack making slurs on Twitter.

If we did report him it wouldn't just make.my day it would make my year. Obnoxious twat.

Ha

It would make sense of his recent ramblings. The man sprays nothing but verbal diarrhoea in our direction.

 

[AKA 55 year old teenager]

Should tag in the guardian and lfc Twitter accounts if be a joy of spewing of spittle every other word [emoji23][emoji1787]

That's a bloody good idea.

 

[mike1923]

We are all allowed to spend what we make - give or take

Perhaps he should ask his bosses where all the money is going?

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Pep says lfc are our greatest rival and still in for title.

klopp moans about City finances.

Says everything about the two clubs.

In a phrase, authentic objectivity vs victim mentality.
I know which one I'd put my money on succeeding best, and the evidence is there for all to see.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

We certainly don't need to go to VAR here. This is about as clear & obviously coordinated attack on our club from the usual suspects WhatsApp Wankers.

We are expected to believe that Sheikh Mansour, who has a purely ceremonial role as one of three deputy prime ministers in the UAE and no official executive powers, and is based in Abu Dhabi, should somehow control where people moor their superyachts in Dubai marina. Meanwhile there are no sanctions operating in Dubai and presumably rich Russians have moored their yachts there for decades so this would be irrelevant to any sanctions operating in the UK. And the whole story is based on an anonymous human rights worker in Ukraine.
So the Guardian have published it without any checks or balancing comments from any other parties. They have published it with no context or background and no comments to confirm if it is true or not. They are so desperate they have used the random angle that an unnamed person has "asked the PL" to investigate Sheikh Mansour. It is ridiculous, basically fake news. It is the sort of shite even the Daily Star would not publish.

Hoo fucking ray….a poster nails the lie that Mansour is somehow part of the government. I have gone on about this for years. Well done Mr Quiff.

 

[KS55]

Klopp may well think we are state owned but he didn't actually say that. It appears that the press have added some of their own comments, such as oil money and Haaland on £850,000 per week, to indicate what he may be thinking.

He actually finished up by saying "there are three clubs in world football who can do what they want financially. It's legal and everything is fine".

I really can't imagine the players or Pep give a minutes thought to what is in the press. We are not state owned but In my view even if we were, so what? Newcastle perhaps are. Good for them.

Ceferin always says “state owned, so what? They are subject to ffp like anybody else.”

This is excellent, as always. Regrettably, the WhatsApp Group won't even try to engage with the substantive points.

Their response today to Klopp's outright mendacity is manifestly coordinated. But gone are the days when they made even a cursory attempt at debating the issues, even if just to the extent of lying that City prevailed at the CAS only because certain charges against us were time-barred. No, now they just declaim that the truth of Klopp's comments is obvious, even though they actually stand up to no knowledgeable or logical scrutiny.

They're bankrupt when it comes both to ethics and to a capacity to carry out rational analysis. Organised and clear, as someone once commented.

 

[KS55]

Agreed. Legal action is a last resort and you should always go after the publishers. But there are other ways short of legal action. Formal complaints to the new regulator (IPSO) rarely result in tough action but they are disruptive to publishers. They get tied up for months in endless correspondence and have to justify what they have published so it does act as a deterrent to individual reporters. Getting lots of complaints can hamper career progression, especially over trivial mistakes. Execs hate having their time wasted. City have been seen as a soft touch in recent years but it will be interesting to see how the new regime (after the departure of Vicky Kloss) handles things.

The Grauniad, very tellingly, is not a member of either of the press bodies. Rather they have an exec who responds to such comments.

 

[whipper]

Still no mention of Greenwood, but Mendy does. Very similar charges too.
