The Liverpool boss has once again hit out at the UK plan to leave the European Union
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has hit out at Brexit yet again, saying that the UK is stronger as part of a unit than it would be alone.
After a referendum in June 2016, the UK is due to leave the European Union on March 29, with a deal as to how that departure will look yet to be agreed upon.
In April 2018, Klopp told The Guardian that Brexit “makes no sense at all” and he has again criticised the plan in an interview with the BBC.
"What do you want? A not-perfect situation alone or a not-perfect situation as a strong partner in a very strong unit?" Klopp asked.
"That's only common sense. That's only common sense because history taught us that if you are alone you are weaker than the unit.
"I'm 51 years old so I have never experienced a war. We are really blessed in our generation, but the past showed us that as long as strong partners are together, Europe is a much safer place.
"The past showed us that as long as all the strong parts are together Europe is a much safer place and that's what we all have. Yes, we have problems but let's solve them.
"We live in wonderful circumstances; yes, we have problems, but we sort them. I don't like that it is starting to split again."
With the details of Brexit still uncertain and several prominent figures in England calling for a re-vote, Klopp is hoping that all sides can come together and produce a sensible outcome.
"I still hope that someone will use common sense at the end," Klopp said.
Liverpool face Leicester tonight and have the chance to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League after former manager Rafa Benitez led his Newcastle side to an upset over champions Manchester City on Tuesday.

As they are leaving so shall Biafra leave Nigeria because self determination is not only meant for some people and others are meant to be slave forever, that right Britain has to stay on their own is the same right Biafrans have to be a nation of their own. Unity by force is slavery.

He has the right to state his view on any political issue that may affect him directly or indirectly. Do you know how much he contributes to UK economy every year in form of tax?

It sounds like Klopp is a political analyst outside football. My question is! Was the interview relevant when a football manager is asked for opinions and comments on issues related to International politics?I have seen Pep Guardiola and Garard Pique several times receiving a lot of criticism when ever they give their opinions and support in matters related to politics.This article is biased as the writer is.Instead of discussing football the attention turns to European Union

So it’s OK for Jurgen to give his opinion but not Neil Warnock...

Logical arguments really. Differences between Klopp and say Warnocks views on this perhaps paint a picture.

if Klopp was there it would be ran properly. The United States If Europe was Churchill’s vision. Man is greedy, lazy, dishonest. Slothful. How do you prevent some doing less ? Klopp would drop them... or sell them if there was NO reaction

History also shows that you don’t need to be in an economic and political union with an anti-democratic institution to achieve things together and work cooperatively.

What a silly comment by Klopp. It depends on who is in your “unit” (or, who is in charge of it).

And the UK currently has a full veto over the creation of an EU army. If we leave, we can’t stop it’s creation and what will then become of our (comparatively) tiny, underfunded military compared to that provided by the rest of the EU?
