Would Klopp leave Liverpool in a stand against the super league?
{Ed002's Note - I would be surprised if his position of being against it has changed and I would expect the club will look to surpress him being asked about it today, but if he is I think it will be the same answer or a non-comittall answer. Whether or not he would leave will be another matter. There may well be two attractive jobs available to him this summer but Liverpool will not want him to leave.}
19 Apr 2021 12:36:57
Would they be the German national team and the Bayern Munich job Ed?
{Ed002's Note - Yes.}
19 Apr 2021 12:46:03
Would those be Bayern/ Germany?
{Ed002's Note - Yes.}

If ESL does go ahead, I won't blame Klopp for going and won't care about what's left behind. I will be writing to the club go express my feelings. I an under no illusion as to the futility of the exercise but at east I will feel slightly better as a consequence. I may develop an alternative interest on football, I may not but my near 50 year love of the Reds will die.
19 Apr 2021 13:07:13
Wouldn't be surprised if he left after the game. a good break before the summer for him.
19 Apr 2021 14:17:01
I can't see him going to Bayern, but I do think there's a real risk of him resigning to take the job managing the German National Team. I think a lot depends on whether or not he was blindsided by the news.

Let's be honest, Klopp is an issue with this but the main question in every fans head now should be about their own allegiance.
I support our great club because of the return from adversity and the roller coaster of being the best in the land and then facing difficulties. The club that has been loved by its fans and has loved them back.
If this proposed move to a super league goes ahead then I won't care if Klopp has moved on because I will have moved on myself.
I am a diehard Liverpool fan, but without the soul and the history, the failures and successes, the club would not be the one I aligned myself with and would not be a club I could follow with the same passion.

Suspended betting on him leaving across a number of bookies.
19 Apr 2021 14:54:22
He's given us so much, all we can dare ask for is for him to be true to himself and show his honesty, if we lose him because of this it's a disaster but the nails for John Henry's tenure will banged in for good.

"If this proposed move to a super league goes ahead then I won't care if Klopp has moved on because I will have moved on myself. "
Couldn't say it any better.
19 Apr 2021 16:07:23
Agreed.

FSG believe all of you threatening to leave the fanbase are replaceble commodities. They take you for granted and forget that if it wasn't for you, this club would be nothing. Hold them accountable.
19 Apr 2021 17:16:04
Losing Klopp at this time would really wound FSG in this moment. I think FSG, and similar owners, underestimate how significant the sport and history is to a club and it's fans. LFC supporters have always been a monumental force, so I would implore everyone with an opposing belief to speak up in a sensible way.
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool may not need a coach next season if they are kicked out of all other competitions like the Premier League.}
19 Apr 2021 17:41:29
I don't believe for one minute that the Premier League will kick the so called big six out of the league, unless they want to reduce the TV revenues by 80%, because Sky and BT will not be paying a fraction of what they pay now without the big six in.
Also, UEFA and FIFA talking about banning any players that play in the European Super League, this will just lead to the creation of an alternative association with the best players and then TV companies won't pay to televise FIFA and UEFA competitions, when they can televise the better players in a competition.
BTW the people that run those associations are all a bunch of crooks anyway.
{Ed002's Note - Can you look out of your window and tell me what colour the sky is?}
19 Apr 2021 18:02:00
What a joke that would be Ed002! Don't tempt fate.
{Ed002's Note - Well at least everyone now knows FSG don't make idle threats.}
19 Apr 2021 18:05:15
Ed002 the sky is blue, but I don't understand why you asked me to look.
19 Apr 2021 18:10:32
If Klopp were to go there's plenty that would want to replace him in this new "super league". And the more "die hards" that don't come through the turnstiles the better for all these owners. A season ticket holder doesn't visit the club shop and buy merchandise but a day tripper (I speak from experience with bringing my 2 boys on the stadium tour etc when over from here) will. Its a business now and fans are gone. We are all customers.

Im not a fan of the ESL but what legal ground would Uefa have?
UEFA executive committee member and head of Danish FA Jesper Moller has said he expects Chelsea, Real Madrid and Man City to be kicked out of this season's Champions League.
Uefa are setting themselves up for another embarrassing court case like the City FFP case.
Yet the teams signed up to ESL have not said they won't still play so what legal ground could Uefa have?
Uefa could be putting there own nail in there coffin by removing them this season.
19 Apr 2021 19:05:29
So PSG are 2020/ 21 champions league winners?
{Ed002's Note - You will have to wait to see what happens but legal advice has already been taken.}
19 Apr 2021 19:39:22
Why are people losing their minds over this all of a sudden?
This issue has been spoken about on this forum for years and years, and no one here had anything negative to say. Of anything, most here were excited by the prospect.
My tuppence is it would be sad to see us moving on from where our history is rooted but things change but I'd still support LFC if they decided to move to a local Sunday league because the club is more than about its ownership at any point in time, more than playing or coaching staff - as we frequently discuss - so for better or for worse, I'm stayin.
19 Apr 2021 20:41:38
Lots of people had negative things to say through the years now its real and more disgusting than we thought if Lfc go then the ideals of the clubs are abandoned, I doubt many will follow them for long.
19 Apr 2021 20:59:22
By UEFA or the clubs Ed002? Thanks in advance mate.
{Ed002's Note - UEFA in that instance. The clubs have already started legal proceedings to block any attempt to block the league happening.}
19 Apr 2021 21:56:22
Thanks Ed002. Going to get very messy.
