When did you join the forum and why?

Yep RedNoodle... I think Dicko - another old timer poster...met him I believe. I remember when most of us were really worried at Noods long absence after telling us how bad he was getting... and Dicko was certain he had passed.

🤦*♂️ doesn’t pick fight or go out looking for arguments 😂😂

Anyway I’m not entertaining his nonsense trying to ruin what’s been a thoroughly entertaining thread

I think I might start going through and making a list of all the former greats

That would/could be cool

Because big net spending is not really Klopps football philosophy. As shown, net spending decreased on Klopps arrival compared with BR.

Our relative net spend in the PL

3rd highest under BR
9th under Klopp
5th under Slot

Thats Klopps impact on the club. Thats his philosophy.
You've tried to paint this as Klopp being hoodwinked by FSG

The great man who left Dortmund where he net spent FUCK All, had his choice of clubs, and was hoodwinked by a big spend promise by JWH.

I've posted your Arteta overtaking Klopp post & Slots more complete form of football post from August & September 2024 !!
Klopps barely left the fucking club at this point.

This is the 1st year where, if cituae win the league and Arsenal lose it, I will be happy. And that's largely down to you shit talking Klopp.

More generally, you probably want more wasted on transfers & wages,
so you can moan about ticket prices going up

Net spending decreased under Klopp because for FSG... winning the big prizes is NOT the goal. It’s just a lucky byproduct of the miracles Jurgen worked on a shoestring.. This was MY claim for years.. in case you forgot..?

The fact we spent so poorly while at the top of the mountain just proves my theory on F$G’s "stewardship".. The better Klopp did... the less he got. It’s a tax on success.. and you’re here trying to call it a "philosophy"? .. it's nonsense.

No surprise that with the Admin - handicapped after being outed... you’ve stepped into the fray to jump on my answer to him.. It’s a tag-team act that ple clocked by now.

We’re finally getting a clear view of the tactics on this forum.. the reason for your presence and your never-ending rebuttal of ANYTHING detrimental involving Uncle John...

It’s transparent...hopeless.. and it’s why real fans can see through the script.

What’s the real reason you’re so desperate to cover for them? .. What are you really protecting? ��.

Well you can look at figures and see Klopps latter days at LFC were by far his bigger spending days.

Klopps later years 2020/21 to 23/24

Total 303.85 net.
Gross spend 493.6
Gross sales 190.25
Market value shift +181.15

Klopp early years 16/17 to 19/20

Total 93.35 net.
Gross spend 456.15
Gross sales 363.8
Market value shift +81.6

Klopp at Dortmund 08/09 to 14/15

Total 63.41 net.
Gross spend 184.68
Gross sales 121.27
Market value shift *cant be arsed doing it now

7 full seasons at Dortmund.

Over Klopps Dortmund tenure

They ranked 31st in Europe on gross spend, LFC were 5th.
They ranked 31st in Europe on net spend, LFC were 9th.
Now that's obviously inclusive of pre-FSG times going back from 08/09 to 14/15. But this is about Klopp.

Klopp had success at Dortmund. He had his choice of clubs, and he chose LFC. What a time. Polling at that time was 70% for Klopp & 30% for Carlo. N4C didnt believe we could entice Klopp, a doubter, but not in Klopp himself. Just the ability to land him.

Klopp arrived and turned a net profit in his 1st full season. Small. But thats Klopp.

LFC BR 12/13 to 15/16.

Total 173.86 net.
Gross spend 406.63
Gross sales 232.77
Market value shift +4.1

In Klopps 1st 4 years he spent about half (53.7%) of what Rodgers did net in the previous 4 seasons.

And look at those market value shifts....

Br +4.1 & Klopp +81.6

Spent half as much & improved the squad way more.

If you want to see the pure impact of Klopp look at his first 4 years. BOOM

Alisson
Trent Matip VVD Robbo
Hendo Fab Gini
Salah Firmino Mane

And in those 1st 4 years where that side was put together.
Klopps LFC was 15th for net spending in the PL.

This isn't a coincidence.

BR's LFC was 3rd
(a disaster by my analysis by the figures)

Slot's LFC 5th after our 1 big summer.

As said, you must think Klopps been really hoodwinked....

Or simply accept that effect, is Klopp arriving at LFC.

He took a 3rd in net spending LFC, and turned it into a 15th placed net spending LFC in his first 4 years.

He was a straight up WUM still posts now and then taking a pop at me,

I thought he was taking the oiss out of me with that user name because of my constant boooooom’s in natch threads

That Dortmund game Lovren got the late winner made my day when Klopp came out with “Booooom” too, maybe that’s where he got it from 😂

Guess who I found on another forum

You are better behaved over there. No spamming multiple threads with the same shite. Yet.
