Unbelievable game and scenes at Leverkusen.
Team doesn't know when they're beaten.

2-1 against Hoffenheim
Form is temporary; Class is Permanent!
Liverpool, European Champions 2005.

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

How come he decided to stay instead of going to Liverpool? Is he waiting for the Real Madrid job?

BTW, site admins what happened to smileys and emoticons?

I think i prefer he stayed. Make sure it wasn't a fluke season. It isn't, but he probably needed that assurance.

I would love to see him at Chelsea.

He’s sure of his abilities. I think the alternatives are not stable, yet.
Bayern Munich and Liverpool need work. RM job is not open yet. RM and Bayern jobs might not be good for a young coach developing his own ideas.

Only fools will keep asking whether he bought his way to trophies or not.

I would love to see him coach my NT. :)

Very likely. Though you never know, given RM behaviour last season.

Championship Jobe Bellingham (all be the Black Cats EPL bound) off to Dortmund. Two seasons in, another 100Ms splashed by the Santiago for one of own. Odds on.

My money is on PSG, or an EPL club.

Jobe will be another 100M. Large. No one in the EPL has that kind of cash, nor the need. Real will be in there for the romantic connotations. The Bellingham boys bossing their midfield for a decade. Written in the stars. They should pick up Adam Wharton and Lewis Hall too. Eberechi Ezeigwe in a free-role. Give a nice English feel to the Santiago. Change the suffix Bernabeau to Britannia and bring Rory Delap in as setpiece coach. Two words. Unstoppable.
