JURGEN KLOPP REFUSED to answer a question posed by a journalist working for The Sun following Liverpool’s win against Barcelona on Saturday.
It is as yet unclear whether the German manager’s decision is related to the tabloid paper’s controversial coverage of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, which has since been widely condemned and which prompted the publication to issue a belated apology in 2012.
Speaking to the journalist in question at a press conference following the 4-0 defeat of Barca, Klopp said: “I don’t talk with The Sun anymore. I don’t speak with The Sun anymore. You can listen.
“It’s not because I’m with Liverpool now. It’s because of a few things that will happen in the next few days or few weeks, I don’t know.
“It’s not personal. You’re still working for The Sun, right? That’s it. You can listen and you can write what you want.”

I think most fans, LFC supporters or not, would applaud such a stance against that filth of a rag and wish all managers n all sports would do likewise – that paper is a turd-stain on society.
True, I also refuse to talk to Sun ‘journalists’
Good man
I’m jealous of how well he tans!
Strange reply from Jurgen? I will, like all Liverpool supporters that were around, never forget what that rag printed after Hillsborough.
The can stuff their apology.
Is that why so many players and ex managers have given interviews with the sun over the years is it?
Who. Enlighten me please.
“It’s not because I’m with Liverpool now. It’s because of a few things that will happen in the next few days or few weeks, I don’t know.
oh yes it is Klopp you fool
FORA its to do with an affair he had with a dortmund players wife in 2015 roughly around the same time as Dortmund where hovering above the relegation zone , it must have neen common knowledge at the club as it had a clear effect on the team
Thats right just some guy , and will he ignore the other newspaper journalists when they get wind of it and print it
That rumour bout affair at Dortmund is old news
Think this is about Seperate incidents involving Clyne & Lovren
That true ron very abuse of power then
Why what happened between them
“Its not becsude im with liverpool’is it because they have something on him or one of his players very strange from him

Another article about Liverpool where most of the comments are from gob shite United fans. And you have the neck to accuse others of being trolls.

Leave it out “Emily” You’re just as bad as the rest of the trolls with the scutter talk. Can’t wait until the mods start banning you lot
You have to keep up with the Jones Mick
How do you keep up with years old vines?
Are you admitting that they have been saying that for years Mick ?
What’s the clash got to do with it?
Imagine a fan being optimistic about his teams chances. Shocking stuff!
And I don’t think you get when stuff is said tongue in cheek
Don’t hear much from Liverpool fans about Heysel.
