Annoying Sky non story

Former Germany and Bayern Munich manager Jurgen Klinsmann has remained tight-lipped over rumours that he is to replace Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez next summer.

 

The 108-time Germany international has long been linked with the Reds and the club's co-owner Tom Hicks has admitted holding talks in the past.

 

Benitez signed a new long-term contract before the start of the current season, but speculation has suggested that the ex-Valencia boss' almost five-year tenure could soon end.

 

Liverpool have been dumped out of the UEFA Champions League group stages and are off the pace in the Premier League, renewing speculation that Klinsmann could replace Benitez.

 

But the German said in Bild: "There are always rumours."

 

Klinsmann does not want to return to club management in Germany and has indicated that he could make a move abroad before next season.

 

He said: "For us it is relatively clear. We will not embark on another adventure in the Bundesliga.

 

"After the World Cup, I will possibly be somewhere else."

 

 

 

 

 

What a f***ing load of s*** from that bunch of c****.

The caption below his picture says 'Klinsmann does not want job in Germay' Should read, Klinsmann can not get job in Germay !

[Andy @ Allerton]

Jurgen Klinsmann still makes me laugh as a proposition for Liverpool manager.

 

I think that it wouldn't take too many losses for everyone to be wanting him out if it ever came to pass.

Why give it publicity then? Just let it die a natural death. It's clearly got you riled so it's worked to some extent.

At least we can sleep easy in the knowledge that we've got owners who can tell the difference between a good and a bad manager.

.can't we ?

[Raj]

Apparently this story was in the Sunday People.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Another non-nonsense story

 

Its a slow day at Sky Sports Towers - Ray Wilkins informing us that Ancellotti is a funny guy, tells jokes, gets personal with players and tells some more jokes during the good times - is apparently news.

 

Montse better buy Rafa a joke book for Xmas, its clearly the future.

[Chili Palmer]

I like Klinsmann, always have.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

I like Klinsmann, always have.

 

What do you like about him ? But more importantly, does he tell a good joke ?

I like Klinsmann, always have.

 

 

I think he's a good bloke and he was a hell of a player, not sure about the rest

[Chili Palmer]

What do you like about him ?

 

 

He was an amazing player and I like the way he handles himself.

[Chili Palmer]

yep, no idea if he is good manager or not, but as a player he was brilliant and he seems a decent bloke.

[Leo No.8]

I still think Klinsmann may make a good manager in time, but he is far too inexperienced to be managing the top clubs. You look at all the top managers, they've spent years getting to where they are.

 

He needs to spend some time learning the art of management, but he wouldn't be ready to manage us now or anytime in the near future. He'd most likely be a disaster for us at this point.

 

He got thrown in by Germany for a World Cup finals on home soil; he was valuable as a figurehead leader then, but that was a completely different situation to the day to day management of a top football club.

 

Its like because he's managed Germany he's a candidate for top level club sides, but his stint at Bayern proves he isn't.

[Beardsley]

I like Klinsmann, always have.

 

 

Still remember his answer when asked who would win the CL final in Istanbul where most high profile players said Milan. Klinsmann said: "The best team will win, and the best team will be Liverpool". So I guess he has some time for our club. Wouldn't want him as a replacement for Rafa, even though I like him though.

[The Hitman]

That above quote proves that he's not got it to be a manager.

We were never the best team!!!

General concesus now is that he tried to change too much too soon at Bayern and wouldn't do things the way their holy trinity of Hoeneß, Beckenbauer and Rummenigge wanted them doing. His approach was described as too modern and too new. And so when results went against him (though he was better placed than Van Gaal has been for most of this season) they sacked him .

 

That said, I still wouldn't want him any where near Liverpool this side of the year 2020

Personally I wouldn't give him that long.

[Duggers]

Same here. I think he'll eventually be a top coach. Shame he's become a bit of a joke figure thanks to the mess with the yanks. Bayern is never the easiest job either as we're seeing with Van Gaal.

Souness would say the same about his time at liverpool

Guardiola has done well for a rooky.

[growler]

This story is important.

 

In fact, I will also, at thi stage, not confirm whether I am or am not interested in a management job at liverpool or another club in england or potentially in Europe.

[Raj]

 

Is the correct answer.

Great player - shameful cheat.

[Stevie H]

Guardiola has done well for a rooky.

he has. he has also been steeped in the traditions and operations of the club so could hit the ground running.

[Rimbeux]

Is the correct answer.

Great player - shameful cheat.

 

Who isn't?
