Liverpool scandal, Klopp could be sacked, here's why

It seems incredible, but for the first time since he arrived from Borussia Dortmund in 2015, Jürgen Klopp is in the doldrums. Public opinion in the Reds' camp says so, and there are even rumours that the English club is thinking of replacing him if the downfall continues.

What happened to Klopp and Liverpool is a clear example of the cruelty of sport and football in particular, that which binds big projects and their million-dollar businesses to respond to the present time. Nothing more; memory is useless. Let's remember that it was the German who brought Liverpool back to the top of England by giving them their first Premier League (they had never won the league under that nomenclature), a competition that, as such, was founded in the 92/93 season. Not only that, but Liverpool could be crowned with him in the top continental competition, the Champions League, in 2019, breaking the hegemony of Zinedine Zidane's Real Madrid.

But yes, it is disputed and it is a reality that is spread across different parts of England. For example, Caught Offside highlights it and even dares to propose how to save it from burning: the World Cup in Qatar. Jon Smith, a key figure in the Premier League, has expressed himself in these terms in the aforementioned media, arguing that the debate is on the table and that only the World Cup can give it enough time to stop the bleeding and reverse the situation.

Critics of the German are critical of Liverpool's results in the Premier League, where they lost 2-1 at home to Leeds United last Saturday and were coming off the back of a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at The City Ground. It's true that the Reds have solved the problem in the Champions League, where they beat Ajax (0-3) and Napoli (2-0), but they have finished second in the groups; then, they will have a difficult match-up in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Klopp in doubt for next season

In the Premier League, meanwhile, they have lost any chance of challenging for the title, sitting ninth, 15 points behind leaders Mikel Arteta's Arsenal. Needless to say, Klopp's status and CV place him among the most sought-after managers on the planet and his move could generate a backlash across Europe that is hard to predict.
