Tim Sherwood has claimed that ‘there is a conversation’ to be had and he thinks Jurgen Klopp could be set for a shock departure from Anfield at the end of the season, as he told Premier League Productions (24/10/22 at 2:30 pm).

The former Blackburn captain added that Jurgen Klopp might have taken Liverpool as far as he could and there may well be a parting of ways when the final ball is kicked in May, unless they can secure Champions League glory.

It has been a season of ups and downs for the German, mainly downs, with the latest low coming at the City Ground when they were beaten by strugglers Nottingham Fores

This is Klopp’s seventh year in charge of the Reds, and whenever he heads for the exit door, he will go down as one of the club’s greatest ever…and there is a serious list he will join.

From that Champions League triumph in Madrid to becoming champions of England for the first time in three decades, there have been many memorable moments.

But Sherwood thinks those times could be coming to an end because, forget about the Premier League title, it’s Champions League football that this team are currently fighting for.

“I don’t think, it’s going to be a statement, Jurgen Klopp’s is going to be there next season,” said Sherwood. “I think there is a conversation to be had – unless they possibly win the Champions League, which they are capable of doing.

“History suggests that he doesn’t do that. I mean he’s very good and he takes teams to where he thinks he can get the most out of them – he keeps talking about injuries they have, everyone has injuries, Jurgen. You are playing Nottingham Forest who are bottom of the league. You should beat them with your B team. You lost a lot of games where you should have won, Fulham, for instance.

“I don’t think they will get rid of him. I just feel there will be a conversation to have and say ‘you have taken us as far as you have’ and Jurgen might say the same to them and go for a new challenge. It’s just my hunch. It will be mad (to let him go).”
