Can someone please explain to me this obsession with klopp? He took Dortmund from 2nd to fighting for relegation half the year to 7th. very similar to another team I know. So why do people think he would do any better here?
{Ed001's Note - because he has done a lot more than your post points out. His record over a long period of time is excellent.}

Edd001 it's heartbreaking we have not even approached klopp yet. If Rodgers is our man then we have a probably but if he isn't we seem completely unprepared.
{Ed001's Note - it just seems the club want to go in a different direction, which I don't understand.}

The fact that we are not even trying to get him is baffling.

The OP conveniently fails to mention the strides BVB have made since 2008 as well as the two Bundesliga titles, and German Cups he has won before this average season (one where he will win at least one more trophy than BR) and how he made a name for himself by defying and beating big clubs like Bayern, Real and the like. Comparing Klopp,to BR is the poorest excuse for support for BR to be kept which smacks of desperation and dishonesty.

lfcohio- To answer the question, I would recommend watching Dortmund play a few games. Klopp sets up his teams pretty well, his in-game management is good, and he makes good substitutions, all of which are things BR is suspect at. I watch Dortmund quite a lot, nearly as much as Liverpool, and even in this their worst season in a while, I have never seen them look anywhere near as disorganized as Liverpool have many times this season (e.g. against Villa and Palace) where we looked more like my over 40 Sunday League team than anything remotely of the Premier League standard.
In addition to which even in this admittedly poor season, Dortmund have already won one trophy and may well win another as they are in a Cup final.

I think Klopp would pretty much unify all lfc fans, be great for box office and the quality of football. Do the right thing FSG!

Apparently there is a genuine concern that Klopp's method has been "found out" after Dortmund's disastrous league campaign. That's why Klopp is not getting offers from "top " clubs.
This is what I have been told

Jurgen has a difficult first interview question:
Owner: You publically asked to be released from your contract mid season because "you were no longer the best man to coach Dortmund". Why do you think you are the best man to coach my club?
He did himself no favours with his press statements about leaving Dortmund, he was hawking himself out all over Europe and it hasn't gone down very well.
19 May 2015 06:59:20
Ed001 do you know who the club are looking at as a potential replacement for BR? I can't see him being here much longer with the sterling situation and other players being unhappy and wanting him gone. I appreciate any reply. Thanks
{Ed001's Note - they haven't been looking as such, I don't know why they haven't, but it is true.}
19 May 2015 07:54:26
As opposed to Rodgers doing himself plenty of favors when in front of a camera, Ron?
{Ed001's Note - ah but he was hawking himself to people that would never have an interest in hiring him, such as Barcelona, on a daily basis, so that must be different.}
19 May 2015 08:39:02
Thanks for your reply Ed001. I would have thought the owners will need to make a new manager a priority now as you have confirmed several players are unhappy and want BR gone. It won't take long for the fans to really turn on him the way he is going and once the other stuff you mention comes out. I just hope we at least try for Klopp. No harm in asking him once the season is over.
19 May 2015 09:29:24
Adrianp74.can you please tell me who these players are that want him gone?,because I haven't heard one current player criticise him l.in fact quite the opposite I can understand if you want him gone but please don't make up facts to suit your argument
19 May 2015 09:48:28
Red since 64 - it's not me saying it. Ed001 has said this on the rumours page under one of the sterling based threads. I tend to believe the eds as they know far more than we do.
{Ed001's Note - pointless speaking to since 64, he just won't believe anything, even when it is proven true, unless it fits his beliefs.}
19 May 2015 09:52:59
I would imagine the following players would be amongst a list of 'unhappy players'
Sterling
Markovic
Can
Lovren
Borini
Lucas
Lambert
Manquillo
Balotelli
That's quite a list of players who 'potentially' dislike the manager.
Certain players will be because of game time, others constantly out of position and the rest never really given a proper chance.

Thanks ed001 keep up the good work mate!
