@datadev01 If you’d like a full bespoke proposal sent over, drop me a message Richard. I’ll need a couple of details to collate this and then I can get it shared with you.

Was ignoring the Scousers on the TL. But the way they have been behaving all week is genuinely weird. They are rattled & have lost all sense of propriety. So like a good Utd fan, I must rattle them more.

Let's start with their claims:

1. Klopp is better than SAF

This take is so dumb that it doesn't even justify a response. Klopp with 1 PL title is no better than:

Carlo Ancelotti
Antonio Conte
Kenny Daglish
Roberto Mancini
Manuel Pellegrini
Claudio Ranieri

2. The Pep-Klopp rivalry is the best the PL has seen in the PL

This is literally a childish take. And I mean literally. Only a child will not remember the SAF-Wenger rivalry or even the Mourinho-SAF rivalry. To give you context

SAF-Wenger
Between 1997-98 to 2003-04

Man Utd: 4 PL titles
Arsenal: 3 PL titles
Many of them were decided by 1-2 points. This does not include the visible animosity between the two sides, including various narratives like treble wins, invincible run, Keane-Vieira.

SAF-Mourinho
Between 2004-05 to 2007

Man Utd: 2 PL titles
Chelsea: 2 PL titles
United were the team to stop Chelsea from winning 3 PL titles in a row.

In comparison, Pep-Klopp
2016-17 to present

Man City: 5 PL titles
Liverpool: 1 PL title

Sure if losing the league 83% of the time is considered a rivalry, then so be it. After all, they need to find something to be happy with.

3. Liverpool are so much better than United

This is Man Utd's worst era in a long long time, make no mistake about it. And this is Liverpool's best. The funny part is, when you look at the league finishes:

Man Utd have finished 4 times above Liverpool in the last 8 seasons since Klopp joined the club. Meaning they couldn't exert proper dominance even at their best.

4. Klopp doesn't spend money and he had to work with very limited finances

Well, the fact of the matter is the 3rd highest-spending manager with €935m in the Premier League EVER after Guardiola and Pochettino.

Had the Caicedo deal happened last summer, he'd have safely breached the €1bn mark and would have been just behind Pep.

So even that claim does not hold up, does it?

5. Klopp produces world-class players

Klopp certainly produces players who can play his system well but you take them out of his system and they fold like a pack of cards. Consider Alexander Arnold for example. He has never been able to do well for England. But they'd want you to believe he is world-class.

I can list many more things to say about Klopp but think this will be enough to quash all their claims about him being one of the greatest ever. He isn't.

Newcastle United use to switch managers and nothing changed until Mike Ashley sold the club.

Now look at them. Ownership and environment is everything, if you can’t see that you’re blind.
