Just a thought that when it was going wrong or players fell out with the previous manager it was deemed that they had been Brendaned. If the same things happens with with the new manager will they have been Klopped?

It should be Juergened actually.

Every player has been given an opp to prove himself so far and I think that will continue under Klopp. If they can't hack it, they have themselves to blame. So if Allen is shown the door, he would have Allened himself.

You got Brendaned, when you were clearly a superior player and had proven it, but still didn't get a game, and were trated like the scum that builds up at the edge of your mouth when dehydrated.
Examples of this are.
Martin Kelly promised a chance of game time after a year layoff and re signing a new contract with LFC only to be dropped in pre season and Sold.
Wisdom, promised a chance in pre season, and game time, only to be loaned for 2 years, and have a loanee replace him.
Carragher clearly superior in his final 2 years to Skrtel yet, demoted to the bench, and Europa league fixtures, BR manages to swallow a bit of pride and plays him for the final 6 months of his career to stop us leaking goals.
Ilori, promised a clean slate and chance to prove himself in pre season, only to be loaned out.
Sakho, clearly a superior player to Lovren in everyway, brought in to be the left of centre back, 1 year later BR brings in Lovren and attempts to freeze Sakho out the team.
Add to this all the Raheem, Sinclair, Suarez stuff, regarding contracts, promises, training on their own.

you got brendanned when you were on the wrong end of his vastly inferior man management skills.

Agger. Brendan ruined Agger as well. Even Reina to an extent.

JK has not bought one player as of yet and using the players at his disposal has brought them together; as of yet no one seems to have been treated unfairly or not been given an opportunity if they are giving their all in training.

It amazed me that BR would buy players then not play them as he didn't fit our style / he wan't sure on them.

Anyway back to the point; I do not think anyone will be "Jurgened" or "Klopped" as it will be left to the players to decide if they are around the first team by their performances - that's not to say JK will not sell players or bring better ones in for a position - however that's football right?

Klopp is going to make some tough decisions, as managers always must, and some players will find themselves outside looking in. And Klopp will also make some mistakes along the way, as managers also always do, but

But highly doubt there will be any Klopp equivalent to being "Brendaned".

That's not just because I trust Klopp's judgment, but also because BR was quite special in this. he seemed to let ego and personnel politics get in the way of the proper management. This often led to idiotic decision making on countless players.

Bobatron has provided an ample listing of examples (Bob and I disagree on whether Firmino should be included among such examples, but that's fine) . Overall, I entirely agree with his assessment here. I would also addd BR favouring Allen over Lucas in many games over the last year.

The most egregious example, I think, is the Sakho/Lovren affair. Watching Rodgers favor Lovren over the clearly superior Sakho, game after game, was incredibly painful. Truly imbecilic from BR.
