A View From The Bridge

“I wouldn’t have survived a year”- Jurgen Klopp aims veiled dig at Chelsea owners for Mauricio Pochettino sacking

Jurgen Klopp says he wouldn’t have survived a year if Liverpool had Chelsea owners

Jurgen Klopp left no chance to fire shots at Chelsea owners after the club parted ways with Mauricio Pochettino a week ago. Klopp, who decided to step down as Liverpool manager, ended his nine years at the club.

The German manager was attending M&S Bank Arena and was asked some questions. He was with other well-known people, such as Will Arnett and Daniel Craig, who sent their tributes to the Germans. Klopp enjoyed a fantastic spell at the club, winning the Premier League and the Champions League.

It appeared to be his last media interaction, where he spoke about various matters and other clubs. He also spoke about Chelsea’s run under new owners and was surprised by Pochettino leaving the club despite leading them to a sixth-place finish in the Premier League.

Klopp took a dig at the owners and commented that he wouldn’t have survived if they were the owners of Liverpool. Speaking to the TNT broadcaster, he further said via Daily Mail:

‘’We should be really happy we have them (Fenway Sports Group) and not guys who bought London clubs. I wouldn’t have survived a year at Liverpool (with them).’’

Jurgen Klopp left Liverpool after nine years at club.

If you are seeing the situation from outside of the club, then we can agree with Klopp’s words because we have seen five new managers in just two seasons. From sacking Thomas Tuchel to parting ways with Pochettino, we have come a long way, and certainly, people will question what the board is trying to do with the club.

The club has spent an incredible amount of money, signed only young players, and changed managers, but its performances have been below requirements. The club has gone two seasons sans winning a trophy, which will undoubtedly draw criticism from the public and critics alike.

However, some of the board’s dismissals have been needless; Tuchel’s and Pochettino’s departures were the first, and they never made sense. Pochettino ought to have been given more time, but it didn’t seem like the board was pleased with his efforts. Any manager who accepts Chelsea’s job offer now directly goes into the jaws of a lion because, should you fail to produce consistent success, your tenure will end quickly.
