Farewell Klopp: Liverpool's rebuild starts with Jurgen Klopp's exit


The injuries, fatigue, tiredness, the lack of financial backing from management, loss of form suffered by players and so on. To justify Liverpool's current failure and the manager's inability to get the best out of the player, you could pick up a lot of excuses. 

Jurgen Klopp's fisting pumping parade has ended, now he begs for mercy over his team's catastrophic display which sadly has become a norm this season. How did it change, you can ask?

 Well, Sadio Mane has left. Most of Liverpool's games have been architected by a Senegalese. His aggressive press, fantastic dribbling skills, vision to pick out Mohamed Salah in good position and off course, his goal has alluded Liverpool this season. 

Without him drifting in and out of the left flank and most times centrally, it has subdued Andrew Robertson from going forward and putting in those crosses. Jurgen Klopp bears much of the blame for Mane's unfortunate departure.

Shamefully, the manager fought hard to improve Salah's $250,000 to $400,000-a-week but fought less to see Mane's wages increase from $90,000-a-week to $250,000-a-week. That lack of respect remains the major reason why Mane had to leave Liverpool. 

His departure have seen Liverpool pay over $180m on new recruits and yet nothing of them (Luis Diaz, Nunez Darwin and Gakpo) have been able to deliver. 


Sadly, Mane's exit isn't the only issue Liverpool have failed to deal with under Klopp. The manager has refused to sign a deep and ball playing midfielder to replace his injury prone midfielders like Naby Keita, Oxlade Chamberlian and others.  

Klopp has also refused to sign a right back to give Trent Alexander Arnold a proper fight for his position. 

Finally, Jurgen Klopp's regimented training sessions have seen half of the squad struggle with form and fitness issues. Van Dijk is injured, so is Jones, Henderson, Firmino 'should be sold', Arthur Melo, 'no practical reason why he was signed' and Luis Diaz are all out. 

 To conclude, Liverpool's going to be playing Real Madrid in the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League with an almost unrecognizable team. The defending is porous, the midfield weak and attack very reliant on Mohamed Salah's erratic form and fitness. 

Jurgen Klopp's story is over, in the same way that all stories end. Thank you for everything and farewell on the path of management, Jurgen Klopp.

A Better Nigeria: What the Government must do to end food crises

What is wrong with Nigeria and its people? A sane question most people have asked for decades but little have figured out the problems. Those who have the amicable solution and well placed in positions to truly effect change are either been rigged out, threatened or even killed.   Tragic you would say, but there's more to the complex web of Nigeria's challenges and food crises is one of them which the incumbent president must deal with immediately.  Before taking over the mantle of leadership, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made a series of promises and swiftly took action by removing fuel subsidy in his first day in office. Taking that action was bold and cold because no alternative was given.  The effect was an immediate increase in fuel which resulted in an increase in the cost of transportation of both perishable and imperishable goods. Businesses which where reliant on generators for power packed up while well established businesses were forced to retrench workers or pa...

Fighting corruption: Why Nigeria must introduce death sentence for all corrupt office holders?

According to Section 33 of the Nigerian constitution, capital crimes include those relating to terrorism, third-degree murder, rape, robbery, kidnapping, sodomy, homosexuality, blasphemy, adultery, incest, helping someone who is legally incapable of consenting to suicide, perjury, and military mutiny. The following crimes are eligible for the death penalty, yet none of them address the main problem impeding Nigeria's advancement and development. The country possesses both human and material resources to rival any nation in the world but yet, the nation swallows in abject poverty; malnutrition, illiteracy, delipidated or broken-down infrastructure, communal wars, gang related violence, banditry, terrorism, and worst of all, spread of infectious disease in both rural an urban area.  Like many other countries, Cameroon has expressed its concerns about the grave extent of bribery and corruption in all spheres of the national economy and the damage it is bringing to the future of its ci...

3 reasons why Xabi Alonso should join Liverpool and not Bayern Munich

After spending just eighteen months at Bayern Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso has shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is an excellent manager who can assemble a top-tier squad on a shoestring. Leverkusen are close to becoming the first team in Bundesliga history to win the title without losing a single match.  To put it plainly, Alonso had to develop a world class team capable of preventing Bayern Munich from setting a record with 13 straight league titles. Disrupting the balance has alerted Europe's biggest clubs like Liverpool and Bayern Munich who are now want him.  With Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel expected to leave Liverpool and Bayern Munich respectively, Xabi Alonso have now become the ideal manager to replace one of them.  Alonso will likely be leaving Bayern Munich and he carefully analyzed both clubs and decide for himself which of the two can really give the time, resources, club and fan support.  Here are the 3 reasons why he should choose Liverpool: ...
