Klopp threatens to leave Liverpool, decision made after FSG sale

The Liverpool story without Jürgen Klopp would not be the same. Since his arrival at Anfield on October 8, 2015, the German imbued a style of play that the loyal fans fell in love with. That love affair led to domestic and international titles, Liverpool's rise to the top of the world. Klopp has become a club legend, with his own songs and murals around Anfiled.

In his presentation to the media, Klopp was direct and sent a hopeful message that turned into success. "My message to Liverpool fans is that we have to change, from doubters to believers," he said that October evening at Anfield, where the Reds would change their history. Klopp took over the club with a losing season; sixth in the Premier League, eliminated in the semi-finals of the FA Cup and Carabao Cup. Added to the embarrassment in the UCL.

After leaving Borussia Dortmund, Klopp embarked on his third club managerial adventure, where he signed until 2018, then even extended it to 2024 and now, his stay at Anfield will run until 2026. Now with reports from England, where the club is set to change owners, key figures are reportedly leaving their posts, and this is not sitting well with Klopp, who is already thinking seriously about leaving.

Fenway Sports Group, head of The Pool, has confirmed that Jürgen Klopp's key executive ally, Michael Gordon, is "stepping down" from day-to-day duties in a power shift at Anfield. Gordon is understood to be recognised by those around him as the architect of Klopp's renaissance, who would leave in a move where he is to delegate much of his power to chief executive Billy Hogan.

The issue is a delicate one, as Gordon and Klopp have become friends as much as colleagues, so there will be inevitable concern as to how distant their professional relationship will now be. For now FSG is in the process of selling the club for no less than £4 billion, taking away the Red's, the Americans would focus on their business in America, including the MLB Red's Sox.
