LFCMadLad Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I know im biased but here is my take... In Germany Pep took over the dominant side, bought all the leagues best players. Klopp built a team and made Pep look like a cunt. In England Pep took over the dominent club and outspent everyone in the league. Klopp meanwhile built a team and is yet again making Pep look like a cunt. Who is the best manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Forgot the part where Klopp broke the record in buying a CB and GK and was basically made to look like a hypocrite from his previous comments when he spent money to challenge for the league.

Spike Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Every manager has their down days, Guardiola has won everything and done it several times, now we are questioning his ability? What is next? A thread about how Brian Clough was rubbish because his Forest was relegated? Guardiola is one of the hallmark managers of all time, he along with Luis Aragones revolutionised the sport and it's approach in the late 00s and early 10s. Klopp is a great manager but this argument is boring and pointless. Two fantastic managers, that have vastly different approaches to the game. Klopp didn't win anything when they were both managing in Germany. And what does 'Klopp' built a side even mean? Let's not pretend he didn't break several transfer records for Liverpool for crying out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 This is generally a dumb argument full of dumb arguments. Klopp is having a good spell at the moment, Pep isn’t. When it all goes tits up for Klopp at Liverpool like it did at Dortmund do we start the argument again and say Pep’s better than Klopp? This is just short term arguing In Spain Pep took over a side that previously took 67 points in the league and went on to create a treble winning side who are arguably the best side to have ever been put together in his first season. But that doesn’t fit the Pep narrative of being a fraud etc etc In Germany he also made history by being either the 1st or 2nd manager to win three league titles in a row. Both managers offer different things, Klopp hasn’t proven himself at a club with big expectations and Pep hasn’t proven himself at a club with low expectations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats all irrelevant mate, a manager goes into a club and builds a team to suit his style etc. Pep has certainly had the advantage of funding whilst Klopp has probably outshone him on much limited funds.

I dont know how people cant get their head around us selling well to buy well? Over the years we have consistently sold our best players. We just reinvested well this time after selling Coutinho etc. Look what City have spent compared to us, then look what we have won. Anyway, if tomorrow it came on the news that Klopp had gone to City and Pep come here... id be fucking gutted!

Rick Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Allison - 60m Van Dijk - 75m Salah - 40m Keita - 50m Fabinho - 40m Ox - 35m We've spend a shit ton. Klopp has had money to build this team, lets not pretend we are fucking Burnley. Michael Edwards has done an excellent job of offsetting a lot of that with the sale of players but Klopp has had investment. He's done amazing and I think he's better than Guardiola, but lets be honest with the facts. Guardiola is a massive cunt, albeit a supremely talented one.

You always make it a point to say that Liverpool reinvests which makes them better than ManCity, but where did the money that bought Coutinho come from? Was that also reinvestment? Or was that money from the owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of talking about money spent, why dont people just give there honest opinion on who they think is best? The argument of net spend is only relevant if the discussion is on which club actually operated the best. Managers can't control how funding is available for the club so its a silly argument to bring up if the argument at hand is which manager is the best. Personally, Klopp for me is the superior manager at this point in time. But I'm not going to beat around the bush and pretend he made a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Both managers had a substantial amount of wealth at their disposal. Klopp spent a ton and broke a couple transfer records on the way to get where Liverpool are at. This argument is always humorous to me because it makes Klopp look like an absolute hypocrite given his previous comments back in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
