I just cant take to Klopp as a person, whenever something goes against him he turns nasty. His defenders will say it's a high pressure job, but he trades on this "nice guy" persona but he clearly isn't. I'll still remember his weird comments after the draw in our relegation season.

All that said, if I needed a manager to both win the league with a topclub, or keep a no hoper up on a small budget, I'd pick Klopp over anyone in world football. He is the ultimate all rounder - the Sebastian Leob to Guardiola's Lewis Hamilton.

Yeah I agree with Baggies about Klopp. Great guy when things are going his well. Total opposite when they are not.

How people handle tough times usually gives you an approximation of their real character

Chris Wilder says a very senior PL ref warned him to expect every tight 50-50 decision to go against his team. That's disgraceful if true. Have a listen to this on the back of Sheff Utd's defeat at Palace.

Spurs come from behind to beat Brentford and knock vile out of the CL places.

I agree, but also think a lot of the top managers are like that. You could say similar for Guardiola, Mourinho, Ferguson etc.

Let’s all laff at dingles

I wonder if Neto will be penalised for diving in the same manner Gayle was for us all those years back. Of course he won’t…

Mourinho is by far the worst, his antics in the final last season were a disgrace. Football is better off without him, hopefully his latest sacking no one in this country is foolish enough to take him on

I'd take Klopp moaning about the wind or dry pitches anyday of the week

Palace losing 0-3 to Brighton Hodgson be lucky to survive that

Wolves 3-1 up at Chelsea. Puts even more perspective on our 2-0 defeat.

Finished 4-2. But Chelski are awful

Good on him. Never know we might see him back at The Hawthorns in our colours one day.

Game over and Utd win 2-1 always feels good when the claret and spew get turned over.

Not if FFP has anything to do with it. They are under very tight rules which may harm their potential to grow/improve. It is quite cruel when teams of the past (such as Man Utd) have got away with it. However, it may not be as bad a move as you think. Historically Ashworth seems to move around quite a bit too.

I know DA has history (good) with Dave Brailsford, who is now at Man Utd, but "the biggest club in the world" REALLY need to be brought down to earth.
