But it's ok to stand by and except under performing owners?


That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

Do you think they have asked Klopp not to spend, I heard him say that he has money to spend but will wait for the right players. Otherwise, do you think Swansea and WBA have spent more on their respective clubs? We have spent 75m on a CB, a world record probably more than the value of the Swansea or WBA teams

Our owners are not the greatest, but Klopp has spent over 200m in 2 1/2 seasons, so we cant argue that he's not been able to chase for the players he wants, yes we've also sold players, but it would be ideal to replace them with talented players.

I suppose that's why we're 4th and those teams are fighting relegation.

I think Klopp is fully aware he has a budget every season. It's around £30-40m. If he overpays for a January target, or gets someone who's not his no. 1, he'll have nothing in the summer, since Keita needs paying for too.

How many more windows will it take for people to realise this?

I've give him another season. Our position is 4th - 6th so shouldn't be sacked outright the first time he doesn't maintain CL positions.

But why can't we beat them? Now if as you say his budget is limited, why spend so much on a CB? Why would you give him another season, are you condoning a bad 2nd half of the season, we would be 4th 2 pts ahead of Spurs even if they beat United and I don't think they have spent more than us.

We can beat them, we just didn't this time. It happens. If we weren't beating teams lower than us we wouldn't be 4th. All the top teams lose against lower opposition from time to time.

I just think it's crazy people putting the transfers on Klopp when it's been this way since they arrived.

Spurs/Pochettino have done exceptionally well, mainly through 2 young cheap players in Kane and Ali. They won't keep coming through though. We can hope to finish ahead of Chelsea, United and City, but there's no justification to question Klopp if we don't.
I'd begrudgingly give him another season due to PC going, budget restrictions and the fact I've no idea who we'd bring in better.

The owners run the show, and the buck stops there. However I thought Klopp was made of sterner stuff than to agree to the selling off and shipping out of important players in the midst of a season when we're competing on three fronts. This policy has already cost us progression in the FA Cup, and looks as though it may well cost us progression in both of the C L and PL as well. So for me if we fail on all fronts this season, it's a plague on both their houses.

Going out of the FA cup had zero to do with losing Coutinho. We still scored two goals but yet again our inability to defend and our utterly shitte keeper came to West broms aid.

You can't keep blaming the owners for the managers failings. Unless you blame the owners for hiring an inept manager.
