It does seem to fit rather nicely doesn't it. I can't help but think Arsenal should step in however, retire Arsene upstairs where he can't do as much damage and get Klopp in.


Not sure their philosophy's match though, as Klopp has previously said it's not all about the money for him, and buying the best team.

Madrid rumours are surfacing as well, if Carlo doesn't win any trophies this year he will be out on his ear - but not sure there is the place for him either, given that he seems to want to be at a place for a long time and build/mould a team - neither of which he will get at City or Real if he doesn't win anything in his first 2 years there!

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....

Football management is crazy, isn't it?

Jurgen Klopp has absolutely flopped this season, been a total disaster - He's basically been the German version of Roberto Martinez, in that he's turned a supposedly decent side in to a bottom half, mediocre team.

So with that in mind, Klopp should be hanging onto his job - Instead, he's happily quit his job and is now being lined up with a number of the European 'big-boys'.

Surely only in football could such under achievement be rewarded with a job promotion?

Poor Slippy G. Wont be playing in the FA cup final on his birthday.

I will just leave this Brendan Rodgers quote here...“Look at Tottenham … when you spend over £100m you’d expect to be challenging for the league.”

haha

Klopp to Real Madrid, Carlo A to Man City in the managers merry go round.

The Champions League Semi Final of Barca-Munich looks great. I prefer they meet now we get to watch 2 games! :)

Don't see Klopp at either of City or Real to be honest. Think he's more suited to somewhere like Arsenal or Atletico where he'd have more time to build the team than buy it.

Significantly different to Martinez IMO, at least Klopp built that side in the first place, as well as winning leagues and a champions league before having his squad picked over by the rich boys. Martinez still has a lot to prove IMO.
