Shanks wouldn’t be too impressed with just the 1 league title in 9 attempts, and even that with an asterisk after it as it was behind closed doors.

Shanks went 7 years without winning anything and still had the full support of the Liverpool fan base. I thought a knowledgeable English man like yourself would’ve known that.
Shanks won 3 league titles. Shanks took over when Liverpool were near the bottom of the second division and had been just knocked out of the FA Cup by non league Worcester City.
Since Shanks got Liverpool promoted in 1962, they haven’t finished outside the Top 8 in 62 consecutive seasons.

As an avid reader of sports literature I’ve been well aware of all of that since the age of about 9. He built Liverpool up from a very low base in a meteoric rise similar to that of Clough at Forest. But I’m sure he would sympathise with the plight of Jurgen having gone through that 7 year barren patch between 1966-1973 when he often came up agonisingly short of winning major silverware. It’s a great compliment to Jurgen that he’s been compared to Shankly.

I’m a complete neutral on the EPL and by extension Klopp. You’d have to say one league title in ten years goes down as a serious failure given the vast sums of money he’s thrown at it and the rabid fanbase with unquestioned loyalty behind him. You can’t put a price tag on dreams though.

Amazing.
I think i posted up Klopps first match day squad the other day.
Another sobering fact.
They could end up fifth yet.
How long is it since united bought the league?
1.4bn spent since
I will miss Jurgen. And so will the other forum footix. A remarkable man. Its amazing what he has done. A failure to some but by god he certainly got the attention of rival supporters. He will be truly missed. Soup and sangwidges on the final day of the PL in the Ratoath Inn. I saw the lads with the banners and buntings setting up in the back bar.
