Do we deserve Jurgen Klopp’s vote of confidence?

Rodgers is out and Klopp is in. I guess it’s not enough to provide streams of pompous piffle to the men from the press; you have to act eccentrically and have a cool name as well.

Just think of the fun we’re all going to have sifting through those headlines. It rhymes with Kop, top and flop. Even with drop and chop, if things should become especially perilous. It’s practically a gift from God.

I seem to have been writing Brendan Rodgers’ eulogy since May, so much so that when the axe finally fell the predominant feeling was one of boredom and burnout. Not this again… To be brutally frank, he never really seemed like the right man. The dumping of Kenny Dalglish, though entirely understandable for any big club that felt it could do a lot more, was executed badly and left a sour taste for anyone over 40.
