“I have big concerns”- Liverpool icon doubts Jurgen Klopp can succeed again under FSG

Didi Hamann has doubts about Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and his future at the club

Former Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamann has caused a stir with his recent comments about the club’s current struggles and their future prospects under Jurgen Klopp. Hamann expressed his doubts about Liverpool’s ability to compete at the highest level in the future, citing the owners’ reluctance to spend money on new players as a major obstacle.

The German’s comments come at a time when Liverpool find themselves in eighth place on the Premier League table, with just nine games remaining in the season. Despite being the reigning champions, the Reds have struggled with injuries and poor form this campaign, and are currently in danger of missing out on a Champions League spot for next season.

While many fans and pundits have been quick to lay the blame at the feet of Jurgen Klopp, Hamann was quick to point out that the owners of the club also need to take responsibility for the team’s struggles. He noted that Liverpool’s owners have been notoriously reluctant to spend big on new signings, which has hindered the team’s ability to compete with the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea in recent years.

Speaking on German football podcast Sky90, Hamann suggested that Liverpool and Klopp should call it a day before things get even worse He doubted if Fenway Sports Group (FSG) will back him properly so he can achieve success at Anfield once again.

“I’m afraid that if Klopp decides to continue, it won’t be better next year because the owners in Liverpool never spend the money like other clubs,”

“He didn’t deserve that and this wonderful marriage between Liverpool and Klopp didn’t deserve that. That’s why the best thing for both sides would be to make a cut in the summer.

“If you listen to Klopp like this: He wants to do it [carry on], he thinks he can do it – but I have big concerns.”

Is Didi right or wrong?

Despite the criticism, Klopp has remained steadfast in his commitment to the club and his belief in the current squad’s ability to turn things around. The German coach has repeatedly called for patience and support from fans and owners alike, as he works to rebuild the team and restore Liverpool to their former glory.

While Hamman is known for being a controversial figure when it comes to his comments on Liverpool, his remarks do raise some valid concerns about the club’s long-term prospects. With several key players set to leave in the summer, including Roberto Firmino, there is a clear need for new signings to bolster the squad and provide Klopp with the depth he needs to compete on multiple fronts.

Whether Liverpool’s owners will be willing to open their checkbooks and spend big on new signings remains to be seen. However, if the club is to maintain its position as one of the top teams in Europe, it will be essential for them to invest in the future and support Klopp’s vision for the team.

Despite the challenges, there are still reasons for optimism at Liverpool. The summer of 2023 brings about a lot of change, and hopefully, the Reds get on board a few of their transfer targets and get challenging sooner than later.
