FSG gesture to Klopp ahead of final Liverpool match is least they could do

Must read

Liverpool will bid farewell to Jürgen Klopp on Sunday after nine incredible years at the helm. The Reds will host Wolves at Anfield, with the club’s FSG owners making a special gesture to the departing German.

Klopp has been inundated with messages of thanks from Liverpool fans with a host of current and former players also paying tribute. He will leave a remarkable legacy at Anfield and Steven Gerrard has even called for a lasting tribute to be put in place.




That doesn’t appear to be on the cards right now but the club’s owners have made special plans to ensure they will also be present for Sunday’s special occasion.

According to The Athletic’s James Pearce, owners John Henry and Tom Werner plan to fly in to Liverpool for the match. The pair actually attended Klopp’s first home game in 2015, against Rubin Kazan in the Europa League.

Over Klopp’s tenure, trips to the UK for Liverpool matches have been somewhat rare for the FSG chiefs and Henry in particular. Werner has been present at Anfield for recent defeats to Atalanta and Crystal Palace but Henry hasn’t been pictured in the stands since the opening day clash with Chelsea.

But the decision to attend Sunday’s finale is the least the pair could do. Klopp has taken Liverpool from a side battling for the European places to winning the Champions League and Premier League. Even FSG won’t have predicted the success, and longevity, of Klopp’s tenure when he was appointed as Brendan Rodgers’ successor.
