Richard Keys has laid into the Liverpool manager claiming that he will walk out on the club if they lose to Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Jurgen Klopp is currently in the middle of one of his worst seasons ever as a professional manager. His Liverpool side started the campaign as title contenders but now, just over the halfway mark, they sit tenth in the league.
Despite Klopp’s incredible record at the club, there are slight murmurings over his potential exit, no matter how hushed they may be.

One person who isn’t afraid to lay into the German is Richard Keys who slammed him on his website.
‘There’s only one winner when a coach falls out with the press – and it’s not the coach,’ he posted on his website.
‘My guess is Klopp will walk. Not now – but if they’re knocked out of the CL (Champions League) by Real Madrid I think he’ll be gone before the start of next season. Liverpool are way off. A shadow of what they once were – and it’s no good blaming FSG (Fenway Sports Group). The downfall is Klopp’s responsibility.
‘He didn’t start the re-build soon enough. That was one of Fergie’s greatest strengths – that he would rip apart successful teams.
‘What were Liverpool thinking keeping Milner, Henderson and Firminho? Tiago [sic] is past his best – not that I was ever a fan. He was the wrong player at the wrong club at the wrong time.
‘He slows Liverpool down. In fact, the entire midfield is too old or not good enough. Robertson is past his best. Whoever is in charge next season has a massive job on his hands. Do we believe Klopp is up for it? I don’t.’
The Merseyside team have two huge upcoming games that they must win, first, they must face rival Everton in the derby before travelling up north to Newcastle.
