Speaking on Monday Night Football, Jamie Carragher has made a claim about FSG and Jurgen Klopp after Liverpool announced their participation in the European Super League.
The Reds are set to be a part of the breakaway league, and as we all now know, that has sparked something of a reaction from the wider footballing world.
Jamie Carragher is one man who doesn’t agree with Liverpool’s participation in the competition, and he believes that Jurgen Klopp could leave the club because of this, and he claims that if that happens, the owners will be run out of the club.
“From my club, the only reason Liverpool are in this is or have a chance in being in this Super League, is because they’ve won six European Cups and 20 league titles. Only one of each came under FSG,” Carragher said.
“They have used everything Liverpool have done in their history, going to even before Bill Shankly, to line their own pockets.
“The biggest thing is that everyone’s against it tonight. Jurgen Klopp spoke about this in 2019 and made his stance very clear.
“If Liverpool lose their manager on the back of this in the next 12 months, then the owners will be run out of that club in a week. I can assure you of that.
“It hurts me more because this ownership bought Liverpool on the back of other American owners who ran the club badly and the fans got them out.
“These got the club for a steal. It is now six or seven times bigger, they’ve made their money and they won the lottery with Liverpool.”
Klopp has said that he’ll stay at Liverpool, but the point still stands.
It’s clear that the Liverpool manager isn’t a fan of this proposal, and if he does consider his position at the club, there will be a fan backlash like we have never seen before.
Carragher is spot on about fans kicking off if Klopp goes.
Time will only tell if the German sticks around for the Super League.
