  1. Could’ve pushed back against Hendo’s shade and the supporters would’ve backed him, yet he decided to take the high road. How can you not respect this manager?

  2. Klopp is so impressive when presented with awkward questions. Honest, transparent and puts this one to bed. Reality was he was not going to get the game time he was seeking, straight up.

  3. Much respect to Klopp for his handling of this. Henderson was hurt by the reaction of some fans to his leaving and choice of destination. He should have stayed quiet but decided to try and justify his actions. Now Klopp says he understands what Henderson meant and we can all move on and get back to enjoying the footy.

  4. As always, says it hasn’t it is…Hendo wanted guaranteed football!
    Klopp knew whaat was coming in and let’s hacienda it right! Hendo v Szorbo/MaCAllister/ Ryan G and Endo…he’d have struggled to keep up with these players in training!
    Stevie G, done us a massive favour…

  5. Honest by nature, generous in his judgments and elegant in manner – Jurgen is a world-class human being (even if he thinks he's "the normanl one"). ❤

  6. Klopp has had the same conversation with Henderson as other managers have had with players season after season, year after year at every other club. Henderson made a financial choice for his own future and best of luck to him. What pisses off some fans and pundits (hypocrites) is that Henderson put money before so-called integrity. People shouldn't be so hypocritical because many would have done the same. Klopp handled the situation like a proper manager and his relationship with Henderson was not damaged because of his correct handling of it.
