So if Klopp takes over Chelsea or United next year, will you say the same? “Career goals change?”
No one forced Pep to make that promise and put it in his book - he did because it made him look loyal, when in fact he is not. I’m not overly bothered about him joining the other Pep, but he’s revealed himself as a cunt.
This is completely ridiculous! It's clear from the context that he meant that he'd only be a manager from that point on - something that had been his long term goal for years. He was clearly determined to do that and only harsh reality has stopped him. The idea that he was professing undying loyalty to Klopp - who isn't even managing anymore! - is bonkers.
Obviously he's going to go back to what he's actually good at. I doubt his financial position is remotely as comfortable as Klopp's.
surely his book sold really well?
I'm sure it did but it wouldn't be retirement money.
Learning from Klopp and learning from Pep on how to be a trophy winning manager sounds like a good idea when you have aspirations to be a trophy winning manager, no?
There is nothing wrong with what he is doing professionally. I am sure being number two to Guardiola will help him, no doubt about it. I guess everyone is getting a bit tired of the "I am a Liverpudlian for life, yada yada yada, please buy my book, engage on social media" messaging. I guess it is up to us not to fall for that.
I am pretty confident he will be financially secure even if he does not work for a single day from now on. But I don't blame him for wanting to learn from Guardiola and develop professionally. Also, saying yes to the City group could open up other interesting opportunities in the future, given that they are buying up clubs in different countries and continents.
I actually have no idea how much the coaching staff earn. A pretty small fraction of the manager's salary, though, I'd have thought.
Gary Ablett was on £100k/year when he was with us and that was at youth level back in 2009. I’d imagine Linjders would’ve been on about a million a year plus bonuses. A phenomenal amount but not enough for him to say “yea, fuck it”.
I have no problem with him taking other jobs in the Premier League but the die is cast when you choose City or United and slightly less so with Chelsea or Arsenal.
He's got to make choices that work for him and his family but, like with the Trent situation, those decisions may have consequences. He will not be wished well in this next stage of his career.

Well that's not a viable simile is it!
At that time it's probably how he felt. Times change.
They do, but it's on anyone considering such emphatic public announcements to factor that possibility into his thinking. Fail to do so and you deserve the catcalls that are going to follow when you go back on yourself. I happen not to think Lijnders is a cnut, and Klopp thought enough of him to fetch him back after he'd already left the club once, but at the same time this episode shows him to be a bit of a poser.
My bad, he was the key to winning everything, I just wished we sacked Klopp now and just retained him as head coach.
Well yes I agree 😂
No one will be clapping him, I won't, but it doesn't matter to him. Times have changed and he's doing what he feels is best for his career / family security.
I am ambivalent on this.
Worked well with Red Bull
Psssst Pep and Trent bum dogs together whilst wearing rat masks. Pass it on.
