Alyson Rudd in today's Times...reflecting on Klopp/Salah and dispensing these paragraphs of laxative regards their departing "breath of fresh air......."
This is not the finale the club had hoped for once Klopp announced he would be leaving at the end of the campaign. But break-ups, no matter how amicable, will have negative repercussions. It feels as though we are watching the divorcing couple that are so desperate for their children not to feel upset or at fault that they become extra loving, take the kids to the zoo, buy them the latest consoles and laugh extra loudly when watching Pirates of the Caribbean together.
The Carabao Cup victory at Wembley in February was meant to be just one of many such outings before the split became all too real. Back then there was even equanimity about the future because the signs were that the beloved and admired Xabi Alonso, with a ready-made connection to Anfield, would be Klopp’s successor.
I prefer "Herr today....Arne tomorrow".
