    Passionate and his teams play attractive football.

    Correct me if im wrong but once pep leaves hes the most successful manager in the league?


    "in the league"?
    (as in,....based on the success they've achieved in the Premier League).

    Arsenal fans would (legitimately) argue it's Arteta
    (....although he's won just the two trophies).

    Emery is an overall more successful manager, (.... and arguably a better tactitian,when you consider the resources he had at his disposal when he achieved succes...) but most of his success - of which he has won more than Arteta - has come outside the Premier League and primarily in European competitions.

    True - Arsenal fans would call Arteta…. and for comparison between Arteta & Klopp

    Prime Klopp Liverpool wipe the bloody floor with this so called Prime Arteta Arsenal.
    It’s a poor failure of the rest of the league to have a half decent season, that Arsenal have won the league. They are a hideous team to watch and play cowardly football, fouling their way in front with a set piece goal then do what they are actually good at and defend for the rest of the game.

    There’s a real opportunity going forward with Pep finishing, there’s not much to beat.

    That's another frustration. When we had the best manager since kenny we were up against prime pep.

    No - that old chestnut completely lets the owners off the hook. NEVER forget they acquired this club for pennies on the dollar.

    Our net spend has been puny compared to our rivals, yet we still missed out on the league by one point twice. The subsequent drop-off wasn't inevitable.... it was a direct result of penny-pinching. Klopp was forced to manage a razor-thin squad because club revenues were being diverted to fast-track repayments for infrastructure loans.

    This is exactly why Klopp highlighted the stands and the AXA training ground in his Diary of a CEO interview, explicitly stating, "I had no idea there was this money." That’s as close as Klopp will ever get to calling out FSG. They haven't injected a penny of their own capital. They sit on billions, leveraging the club's success while forcing it to self-fund capital projects at breakneck speed because they were positioning it for a sale (which only collapsed because United went on the market simultaneously).

    Let's be real here - we would have at least three league titles under Klopp if he had been backed properly instead of being handicapped by the owners.
