Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has come out to say that the clubs that were involved in the Super League should not be punished. He recently revealed that he sees no reason why they should be punished because nothing happened.
According to him, when Bury and Wigan got points deducted years ago, it was for a different reason, so everyone should be reasonable.
Klopp, however, added that if the league decides to punish the teams involved, he won’t be able to stop them.
His words, “That’s above me,”
“What can I say about that?”
“I do not see a reason to punish the clubs because nothing happened. We are in the same situation as we were before.”
“For what reason did Bury and Wigan get points deducted? That’s slightly different, I would say.”
“If someone wants to punish us, I cannot change that.”
On the love of the game, “Never!”
“Never, never with the game! Never with the game. Just with the things around it.”
“We were all waiting for something like this and now we cannot stop talking about it and writing about it. I get it, 100 per cent. It’s a big one, but I cannot constantly talk about it, think about it.”
“Yes, I have a clear opinion about it, what I didn’t like about the idea. I thought I made it clear. All the rest, is not for me. Let’s really focus on the future.”
“We had so many things going on this year and we always tried to get through.”
“If someone asked me ‘What are you missing from this year?’ in terms of what could have happened on top of all the rubbish that happened to you, I would have said ‘The Super League coming up!’.”
“But I never lost my love for the game. The things around it? Come on! We spoke two weeks ago… we spoke about social media and racial abuse. Is this really a planet I want to live on where people say things like this?”
