I really like Klopp.
Trouble is I remember the media frenzy when they last went close and it was sickening, with Klopp there it would be that times ten thus forcing me into hating a manager who looks like the kind of bloke you'd love to work for.
I actually supported Chelsea for a game last time too, for which I still wake up feeling more guilty than a member of the glitter band who turned a blind eye.
It's hard not to like Klopp. The media do go a bit overboard but he's charismatic, seems to have integrity, represents his club well (not like Jose - lol) and his teams play great football. He's a great fit for Liverpool - exactly what they needed.......unfortunately!
Over on the other board I frequent (yeah, I know...) I started the following thread, and I thought I'd post the same thing here and see what happens...
"I've thought long and hard about this and I know I'm going to upset a few by saying how I feel, but if Tottenham don't win the Premiership this season, then the club I'd like to see win it is... Liverpool.
City have won it recently, Chelsea have won it recently, United have won it recently, and there's now way I could ever hope for a scum victory....So if we don't win it, I would choose Liverpool, who are playing fantastic football and who've never won it.
There, I've said it.
So if not us, then who would the rest of you like to see win it"?
It's an interesting question and will shows a lot of different mindsets how people respond. (I'm guessing you have the attacking football should win out perspective)
Personally I think Liverpool winning would be the worst thing from a Spurs perspective. I see them as a direct rival for making the top four. They have the fan base and media focus along with high sponsorship deals but what they don't have is recent success that could make players want to go to them. If they were to achieve that success then I could see them becoming a new power in the English game as they could potentially attract a better standard of player than they currently can (and they could afford the wages as they have high sponsorship deals and turnover).
Personally I'd want City to win as it would have little to no impact on Spurs. They have a bottomless pit of money and can already attract top players so this wouldn't adversly affect us. They are the epitome of everything that's wrong with the modern game but them winning would have no impact on Spurs as it's expected.
Compare that to other contenders
- Arsenal (another season without the title)
- Utd (even Jose can't get them the title)
- Chelsea (souless club with success the only reason for players being there)
- Other clubs - Yet another rival to us making it into the English elite
City, I don't fee anything for them, no malice no jealousy, nothing. And in my mind they should be winning it anyway so when they do win I couldn't really care less.
