ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

davek said:
Simon Jordan on Klopp:

"He’s operating at a level which makes him omnipotent around every aspect of the technical area, whether it’s bullying the opposition, bullying the fourth official, bullying the media…I don’t like to use the word ‘bullying’ because it invokes dynamics of others being weaker but he’s very, very strong and is moving into a territory where I’ve not seen many managers operate."

I heard this and Jordan then also went on to say that because Klopp gets away with it it is emboldened him even further. Danny Murphy then replied Klopps not the first manager to do it and pointed out Alex Fergusons behaviour. Now, wheres that carpet and brush.

Whataboutery from Murphy.

He has seriously over stepped the mark on a number occasions. He thinks he can tell the England manager what to do, the PL, the FA...a guest in this country might I remind you.

The thing about him I've noticed though...and this is common with all bullies...when someone seriously challenges him and makes him justify himself (a reporter like Des Kelly or Sean Dyche a season back or so) he's backpeddling and squealing like a stuck pig.

His arrogance is breathtaking. He is scornful of our domestic cup competitions and tells us how to run our game even though he knew how it was prior to coming to this country. He clearly rubs up opposition managers more than anyone else. Do Frank Lampard and Mike Arteta strike you as confrontational people? They don't to me, yet both have had altercations with Klopp.

He's all sweetness and nice when he's getting everything his own way but the veil slips instantly when he doesn't win a game. There are now signs that the public and press have woken up and are seeing him for what he is. An absolute abortion of a human being.

I've always believed that you truly see someone's character in the way they treat those folk over whom they have the upper hand in the power dynamic. Jurgen Klopp is simply a very unpleasant person.

I think bully is the correct word

He's a snide.

He was hated in Germany eventually. It'll happen here soon enough, even if it takes longer because of the Kopite media spinning what a laugh and all round great guy he is. He cant help himself, though. And he'll continue to alienate people.

Is he hated in Germany? Don’t think he’ll ever be hated here. You get away with a lot when you’re being successful and when they finally go into decline he’ll leave and manage the German national team.

I was just responding to a post that said it's going behind closed doors.

After Boxing Day it will though.

Anyone thinking of going into a stadium now need to consider their family and friends who may be vulnerable. If you cant keep them and yourselves safe, dont go.

True, just right now, I'm not sure I'd want to stand / sit in a stadium where theres a guy 18inches behind me, shouting at the top of his voice...and more than likely spraying droplets at the back of my head.
Just sayin like.
