BEING away on holiday with limited internet access while Liverpool Football Club sacked Brendan Rodgers and appointed Jurgen Klopp was a strange experience, writes NEIL DOCKING. Admittedly our villa in Menorca had a pretty good wi-fi signal. But then I used up the...
EMOTION isn’t much of a buzzword in modern football, writes LIAM BLAKE. It can’t be quantified or measured. You won’t find an entry for it in Opta stats, and football hipsters don’t turn to Squawka for a breakdown. But that’s not to say...
IT has been, without doubt, Fenway Sports Group’s boldest move since assuming control of the club five years ago. But even if Jürgen Klopp never wins a game as Liverpool manager (he will), even if his time in charge is an absolute disaster (it won’t be),...

NEIL ATKINSON and Gareth Roberts were joined by BBC Sport’s Ben Smith to chat about the impending confirmation of the appointment of Jürgen Klopp as new manager of Liverpool Football Club.
JÜRGEN Klopp is Liverpool manager then. He can’t buy any players for the best part of three months so, as a consequence, he’s going to have to make do with what he’s got. And I think he should be encouraged by what he’s got. He’s got a pool of strikers that any...
EVER since April 30, 2011, I’ve wanted Jürgen Klopp to be manager of Liverpool Football Club. That was the day that his Borussia Dortmund side won their first Bundesliga title since the charismatic German had taken charge. He had won the fans over with his attitude,...
