Question for ed001 if he is around.

With klopp extending his contract I was wondering if you knew the reasons behind his extension? He has only signed his first contract at the start of the season at we only finished 8th. Don't get me wrong I am pleased just wondering why you think the club though it was necessary with him only just signing?

{Ed001's Note - I have no idea sorry.}

There is definitely a reason behind it aswell it's nothing to do with what fsg statement says. You don't give a manager another contract after 8 months in charge and an 8th place finish.

Yes klopp has done great things and I'm happy he's our manager but this is very strange.

Memory/ nightmare of Brendan Rodgers maybe? : )

I speculated yesterday that it ties in with FSG's ownership plans over the next few years - all in on Klopp in the hope of some success whilst keeping the finances under control, raise the club's profile and worth, and then a sell-off?
I'm not sure what FSG have gained over their tenure at Liverpool, but Klopp offers the potential for a profit on return otherwise it's more of the same for FSG - watching the super clubs disappear further over the horizon.

And what is it you would like rhino? What's wrong with controlling the budget and hoping for success? I think you play to much fifa this is the real world and klopp And his team are the best people for the job in FSGs eyes and most of the supporters to. So they have tied him down and are creating stability something we have lacked for years.

He had 2 years left on his contract. If he was a player this wouldn't even be a discussion. If we had left it this summer, then next summer he'd have just a year left and our bargaining position is severely hampered.

I think it's all a lot of talk over relatively nothing, personally.

Some people are never happy.

Why give him a short one in the first place then mk? He hasn't proved anything yet. Your well off imo.

Lucky, not sure how you got to that conclusion, but let me clarify my position if may. What I meant is that LFC management need only to remember Rodgers time to realise how good Klopp has been. I am fan of the Kloppster, and some of the best games (emotionally) I have seen in recent memory has been under his management, and things are looking on the postive.

They only done it to keep the fans happy to what's going to happen in the transfer window. Hope I'm wrong but I don't think I am.

Maybe it has to do with the fact that Klopp wanted peace of mind that he'd be here for the long run. He likes projects and he spent 7 years at Mainz, 7 years at Dortmund and if he stays till 2022 which is how long the new contract is for, then he'd have spent close to 7 years with us too!
