Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp rejects the idea that he is angry with owners because of the budget restrictions
Jurgen Klopp maintained that Liverpool is “his club”, rejecting the idea of being angry at the owners about budget restrictions. The 56-year-old has continuously built the teams under a restricted budget while other managers enjoyed a continuous influx of money.
The budget restrictions have indirectly allowed the Reds to act wisely in the transfer market, using shrewd negotiations. Liverpool applies good scouting and acts as an opportunist, only striking the deal when they are certain about the player.
The Reds have enjoyed a lot of success and praise for their activities in the transfer market under Klopp’s tenure. The restricted budget leaves no room for big-money failures like we regularly see at Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City.
Klopp used the summer transfer window to revamp his midfield after buying attackers like Cody Gapko and Darwin Nunez previously. The Reds long-admired Jude Bellingham but opted to make a shrewd transfer decision, bringing multiple players for Bellingham’s price tag.
Liverpool exploited the release clause of talented players like Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai immediately to bolster their midfield. The Reds’ new signings have played a critical role in their successful start to the current season.
Speaking to reporters (h/t Independent), Klopp insisted that he is not angry about lacking the financial power that other managers possess. He said:
“It is clear other clubs can do in some situations more than us. I am the wrong person to ask about that, but that’s it. I am always here explaining it, and that is the bit that is not so cool, to be honest. It is not my money we are talking about. You know how the process is, what you want to know is as I sit here, am I angry that we can’t do this or that? No, I am not. I don’t agree all the time with everything we do but I am employed here. I am not here to be angry about things that will work out or not work out.”
Klopp also responded to a blunt question by a reporter, suggesting him to join a club with more financial aid. The Liverpool boss maintained that he is loyal to the Reds and that this is “his club”. He said:
“But this is my club. This is my club. You want to suggest I quit here and wait for the next top job?”
Bellingham has been a sensation at his new club Real Madrid but Liverpool covered both quantity and quality. The Kopites have accepted that Liverpool are not like other high-spending clubs and they feel proud about it.
The situation ensures conducting business wisely and proficiently without inflating the football transfer market. Whereas, other big clubs have damaged the transfer market with their careless spending power and poor code of conduct.

Klopp enjoys working at Liverpool because of the family environment and emphasis on developing talent rather than buying readymade ones. We think that there are times when the owners could’ve backed Klopp better than they did. The Reds could have won more trophies and Klopp has earned enough faith for them to be less risk-averse.
However, a small section of the Liverpool fanbase have been impatient and too critical of the owners at times. Furthermore, asking the manager to stand up to the owners is simply a silly and unnecessary demand. Klopp is a Liverpool employee at the end of the day and we should be grateful about how he likes to work.
