Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has insisted he will not resign from the position.
Klopp’s men are struggling for form this season and have already lost six times in the Premier League.
The Reds were only beaten four times in 63 matches in all competitions last season.
Liverpool are also 10 points off Champions League places and their poor run of form have seen calls for Klopp to either resign or be sacked.
But the German, speaking ahead of a FA Cup replay against Wolves on Tuesday, said: “I will be here for as long as I am wanted.
If no one tells me to go, I will not go, It is something for the future, in the summer, not now.
The only thing I want is to fix this situation – that is all.

ReplyDeleteSo Emefiele has enough FX at his disposal to chillax in UK and the US while Nigerians who are International students seeking to pay school fees via cbn/form A platform are suffering and loosing admission. Whoever did this to Nigerians, it shall never be well for you.
ReplyDeleteStella I de vex. You can’t imagine the number of people being deported after a semester bc the fees have t been paid by cbn but their naira accounts have been debited.
Oga dragging people to court for dual citizenship please what is the color of your problem? Which of the past presidents don’t hold such? Even the current contestants of the notorious parties hold same. Were you paid to search for a something that didn’t go missing? And please, how does it make you a better contestant? If you know your international relations very well, you won’t be sounding clueless?
ReplyDeleteGod help Nigeria. Amen 🙏
