i get the effect of klopp's charisma but charisma does not score goals-- having gotze, lewandowski and reus prowling the opponent's goal does that. of course that was ripped apart but there was an expectation to rebuild.
now forget the champions-- the problem is at this point they might not even make the europa league-- they're 7th but hanging by their teeth so it's a tossup. i think (i read) there's 30 million euros revenue in that-- that's 10% of their 300 million target. they're far from poor and of course they have a big fanbase. so i'm not too worried about the financial side.
also they're about to play the dfb pokal final vs wolfsburg-- who just beat them 2-1. they got there by beating a bayern which is doing worse than them right now. but anyway, SATURDAY MAY 30.
so it's just how they came crashing after soaring to such heights. and after waiting for the 2nd coming of the klopp messiah he just couldn't cut it and now he goes. so that dream is done for. call it nostalgia.
