In the Sheffield United press conference, Jose couldn’t resist getting in the fact that he predicted Liverpool as Champions back in November, when he was working briefly as a pundit for Sky Sports, but that was the closest the Portuguese got to any of his usual ‘Special One’ nonsense.
What Liverpool Football Club did in terms of supporting and backing Klopp is a matter of record. They allowed the German to run the show his way and their fans were repaid a thousand-fold.
At Tottenham, Mauricio Pochettino was not supported, not backed and instead allowed to drift inexorably until his squad that had once boasted youth and was ageing and dysfunctional.
Meanwhile, on Merseyside, there was no lunatic spending, just a calm and considered strategy from a club that knew there were only a handful of adjustments away from success.
Liverpool are European Champions, and not one Tottenham fan could possibly make a single cogent point against the way Fenway Sports delivered the best club trophy in the world, and the title.
Whilst ENIC have accrued a generational debt and won nothing, are Fenway currently wondering if they too ought to have demolished their home, Anfield, and sunk all their cash reserves into “infrastructure”?
Not on your life!
