Jurgen Klopp

Jurgen Klopp has signed a new contract with Liverpool today. He’s credited his wife Ulla, she wants to stay and ‘his most important contract is with her’. He’s also said in interviews that women in their 50’s are amazing. He seems to be an incredible manager and be a man of the people. I wish he ran the country.

He comes across as a genuinely good egg.

Libertaire · 28/04/2022 22:52

Well I think Klopp is a complete toss…

Only joking! I think he’s amazing, too. 😉

Jurgen and Liverpool are a perfect match of manager and club. His unpretentious down-to-earth ‘I’m a completely normal guy’ character is ideal for a club so firmly rooted in its working class community, just as it was at his previous club Borussia Dortmund. I’m not surprised he has chosen to stay. I couldn’t see him fitting in with the poshos at Real Madrid or Chelsea.

I just googled his wife - she’s gorgeous too!

He seems like a really good sort.

motherofchihuahuas · 29/04/2022 20:33

I'm really glad he is our manager.

He's just lovely. We all love him in Liverpool

As usual MN doesn't realise people have feet of clay. He's a brilliant manager and inspires great loyalty but I'm not quite sure that he's a saintly type

TokyoSushi · 29/04/2022 20:58

Big Liverpool fan here, he's just wonderful. I'm beyond delighted that he's staying, what a brilliant team and all just so lovely too.

I was at Wembley a few weeks ago, it was incredible.

"I'm so glad..." 🎶

AskingforaBaskin · 29/04/2022 21:15

I'm a Liverpool fan through marriage my husband and children through birth. And he is known as God in our house 😂

My son once said "shh God is talking" during his post match interview.

He seems like a genuinely good person which is reflected in the team and support staff retention. I haven't heard a single player slate him.

motherofchihuahuas · 29/04/2022 21:22

There is a bar named after him on Liverpool I've not been as it's not my scene but it's nice

Ringmaster27 · 29/04/2022 21:22

My DP has a deep rooted man crush on Juergen 😂
I genuinely believe that if he was placed in a room with me and Juergen and told he had to choose one to spend the rest of his life worshipping and would be forbidden to ever see or speak of the other again, he’d choose Juergen without a moment’s hesitation 😂

Ringmaster27 · 29/04/2022 21:23

@motherofchihuahuas ive been! They do a banging full English 🤌🏻

I'm glad it's not just me who has had to realise that I may not be the love of my husbands life...

motherofchihuahuas · 29/04/2022 21:39

@Ringmaster27

I will have to go! I've been to meet above it. They do a banging steak. Best steak I've ever had to be honest.

We always drive past it but have never been.

Probably because that bit of the road is always so packed! Why. Why is it always so busy! Then we park in Liverpool one or the docks and we forget about it! I'm going the next time we are on a child free day!

Ringmaster27 · 29/04/2022 22:24

@AskingforaBaskin Ive come to accept Jurgen has the third person in our relationship 😂

TheDogsMother · 29/04/2022 22:28

If I didn't already love Jurgen I love him even more now. I love his cheery and positive nature.

I think you’ve entirely missed the point of this thread! 😬

I’m slightly gutted he’s not got his glasses any more

Yes, I prefer him with glasses too (sure, he's gutted)
Damn that laser eye surgery.

RJnomore1 · 30/04/2022 00:06

I’m a liverpool fan. His hair teeth and lack of glasses are disturbing but he is both a lovely person and a great manager. I love him and aspire to be like him.

see also Celtic manager ange postecoglou.

LadyJGrey · 30/04/2022 00:39

He’s just sublime.
His “I’m in love with here and I feel fine” quote just summed him up perfectly!
He’s got Liverpool - the city, the club, the humour. He’s ace. 😍

burblish · 30/04/2022 01:10

Love him and, as a Liverpool fan, am stoked that he is staying on!

WeasilyPleased · 30/04/2022 01:13

I have a secret crush on him 😳

Cleebope2 · 30/04/2022 01:53

He is an amazing man but my only gripe is that he has over whitened his teeth. But I hope he stays with Liverpool forever.

CJsGoldfish · 30/04/2022 02:11

I love him ❤️

JacquelineCarlyle · 30/04/2022 09:30

I love him too Grin
