There’s a huge difference between selling a player to a Saudi club and being owned by them. It was a sad way for Henderson to depart in particular. It reflects badly on Hendo but I don’t think Liverpool are sullied by it at all tbh. They didn’t even really recoup anything above the going rate either. £40 million is standard enough for a player like Fabinho who’s still only 29.
Selling a player to a Saudi club is similar to the £49 million sale of Raheem Sterling in 2015 I suppose.
Klopp has done a good job at Liverpool no doubt but that team he built should have won more - they should have won at least another EPL title. At their pomp for about 2-3 years they were fantastic. I see them behind now Man City and Arsenal and there’s every chance Man Utd and a rejuvenated Chelsea will pass them out this season too. If he’s to do anything again at the club it’ll essentially be with nearly a new team and I’m not sure he’s one for long term rebuilds.
Will be serious pressure on ETH to deliver next year considering the money he’s spent.
Minimum requirement - top 2 finish, SF of the CL and an FA Cup / League Cup trophy
8 seasons in charge broke all their transfer records and has won the equivalent of what rannieri won at Leicester With a cup final win v spurs thrown in.
He said last summer he’d the best squad in the world.
5th in the league and humiliated in all the cups.
Hopefully he doesn’t leave or they might get a decent manager in.
