He has said his dream is to manage Man Utd... Kopites are keeping stum on that though.

Well Man U have been known to make silly offers, no reason if Klopp has a good season why they wouldn't make him a silly offer, especially now its pretty obvious Van Gaal has no idea what he's doing... to be fair, it doesn't seem like they are even his signings, but a lot of the gossip coming out of Man U is that he's a bit of an authoritarian and i doubt kids these days like that sort of treatment. His tactics are bizarre at best. He's more suited to a cup competition than a week to week league manager.

But I agree with what Warrington Blue said, the Lolpool squad is such a mess right now. Over 291m euro spent and not one of them world class, most are barely mid table quality. It will take a while for Klopp to turn it around (if he's given time). Shittest Liverpool squad Ive ever seen. I remember saying a few years ago, that the Liverpool squad was really bad, its even worse now. Should have beaten them on Sunday, but missing three of the regular back four, I think the team did ok. Again it seemed like the team gave Liverpool too much respect when they barely deserved any. McCarthy said it after the game - gutted that they didn't win and more than deserved it.
 

Not many German managers have plied their trade in the Premier League. The majority preferring to stay in Germany.
Interesting to note that the last eccentric character to have turned around the fortunes of German League sides with a very good reputation and won titles was Felix Magath. He had an excellent track record on paper.

Now if Klopp does take the job it would be a dream come true to see him match Felix Magath's achievements at Fulham.
 
The worst thing about it is I like him a lot.

Also I can kind of foresee him and Martinez forming some sort of rivalry bromance. Just seems like they'd really get along.

I think he's a bit weird, tbh. Jekyll and Hyde loose cannon sort.

The quiet dignity of a Martinez is preferable to the 'look at me' antics of that big Teutonic tit.
 

I honestly just don't get the whole "he's a character so he fits Liverpool" thing.

The thing he has going for him is that he is a name, named managers can attract players.

E.g Liverpool wanted Sanchez after Saurez went but he chose Arsenal, Klopp may have more pull then Rodgers.

All this "funny quotes, touchline stuff, wears a cap etc etc etc stuff is very Tim Sherwood really.

Three things players of that class want:

Massive wages
CL football
London

If you haven't got at least two to offer you dont get them. Liverpool have none to offer.
 
They are already becoming completely embarrassing about this appointment. I think they will be unbearable soon. I didn't mind it with Rodgers as I could laugh at them but it is already exceptionally annoying.

They remind me of the "loadsamoney" types who are the norm across sections of the south of England. They are not content with just having a nice car, house, dress etc they want everybody to know just how brilliant it is and want to have the feeling that they are richer than everyone else It's the same with them and Klopp.

I could forgive them being happy with a new manager. Who wouldn't be happy with Klopp, who wouldn't be? The fact that so many of the comments are akin to (or exactly) "everyone else in the league is going to be so jealous" "we are going to be the envy of every club" "our manager is a legend" "you are all going to hate us because we have a better manager than you".
It is not enough to just be quietly happy, they desperately want to belittle everyone else in the process.

The simple truth is nobody will really care Klopp has gone to Liverpool. Of all the teams we are the ones most likely to be frustrated by it as it means they might overtake us in the league table. There is some frustration there, but the viewpoint is fairly nonplussed. That will eat away at them that we don't spend our time indulging their narcissism. As for the top teams, I doubt a single one of them will be in the least bit bothered. There is no way any of the top teams would have traded their manager for Klopp.

The narrative is already being created though amongst some of the more delusional that "Klopp chose us over Bayern". I can see him manipulating that one. It plays into their ego's perfectly and makes them think they are a big club again. They will chase any dream. FSG will also get lots of extra credit from it.

Essentially Klopp is the wet dream for Kopites. He is the embodiment of Liverpool. He is an out of towner who has fallen for their "charm" or more accurately their delusional lies and spoilt teenager behaviour. This is the essence of Liverpool FC now. They are a club that services out of town supporters who are desperate weirdo's searching for a bit of meaning. That is Klopp all over.

It will be unbearable for a bit of time. They are going to project their own neurosis onto him so just be prepared for that. Also be aware none of the happiness at getting the manager is about him being good for the team, it is just an excuse for them to try and belittle others. They have bought a range Rover from having a Fiesta. To us sat in a Mondeo that is quite frustrating. But just content yourself that they are going to be driving past Bentley's making knobs of themselves telling said drivers how jealous they must be.

As for Klopp he is a decent manager but he was found out a bit while at Dortmund. The premier league is a hard league. It could go either way.
