In the year 2014, Jurgen Klopp was at the helm at Borussia Dortmund a team he built and was noted for their gegenpressing which Klopp calls the "heavy metal football". Watching Dortmund play when Klopp was their manager was exhilarating.
At the time, Manchester United were looking for a Moyes' replacement after he had an ardent time at the club. It then turned out that United did actually pitch for Klopp which he turned down. In his new KLOPP BRING THE NOISE,
Raphael Honigstein has revealed why Klopp turned the offer down. He stated, "'Klopp gave the offer serious consideration, but found Woodward’s pitch ‘unsexy’, he told friends.'
According to Honigstein, Ed Woodward who is the executive vice chairman of Manchester United, likened Old Trafford to the Disneyland, saying, 'Woodward told Klopp Old Trafford was ‘like an adult version of
Disneyland, a mythical place where the entertainment was world class and
dreams came true’.'
Liverpool fans would be head over heels should they get to know this but must also be thankful as well as grateful to Ed Woodward for pitching badly.
As to whether Klopp made the right decision, time will tell.
