Klopp for Primer Minister?
“When Mr (David) Cameron (the then Prime Minister) had the idea (of a referendum) you thought: ‘This is not something people should decide in a moment.’”
“The choice was either you stay in Europe, which is not perfect, or you go out into something nobody has any idea how it will work.
“So you give people the chance to make this big decision. And then it’s a 51-49 vote and you’re thinking: ‘Wow, 49% are not happy with the decision that’s going to change the country.’
“Let’s sit together again. Let’s think about it again and let’s vote again with the right information -– not with the information you’ve got around the Brexit campaign.
“They were obviously not right, not all of them. It makes no sense at all.”
“History has always shown that when we stay together we can sort out problems,”
“When we split then we start fighting. There was not one time in history where division creates success. So, for me, Brexit still makes no sense.”
However, the charismatic German is adamant despite being touted by some for a future political career in Germany he will not be seeking to follow in the footsteps of present German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
“Angela Merkel has two weeks off a year,” said Klopp, who credits Merkel as ‘doing an unbelievable job’.
“That’s less holiday than I have which means that’s absolutely not my target.”
