Honestly, Klopp vs Pep debate shouldn't even exist. It's so simple:
Under Klopp, Mainz went from German 2nd division to 13th in Bundesliga on zero budget:
- Can Pep go to Mainz and do that?
Under Klopp, Dortmund went from 18th in Bundesliga to 2 titles and a UCL final on a shoestring budget:
- Can Pep go to Dortmund and do that?
Under Klopp, Liverpool went from 8th in the league to winning all trophies in 6 years, majorly on the back of selling Coutinho and finding gems like Salah, Diaz:
- Could Pep ever do that on Liverpool's net spend?
Now see the reverse...what if Klopp went:
- To Barcelona with Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and Barca's budget
- To Bayern with Robben, Ribery, Lewandowski and Bayern's budget
- To Man City with De Bruyne, Kompany and City's budget
Seriouly, what is there to debate? It's like comparing an actual, proven Football coach and a little boy playing FIFA Manager Mode in real life.
