Jurgen Klopp makes parting comment about FSG after his exit from Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp has now made his final farewell at Liverpool, having enjoyed a hugely successful spell on Merseyside.

The Anfield faithful will really miss the energetic German on the touchline, with things set to look very different next season.

Arne Slot has been confirmed as his replacement, with the Dutchman having been given a warm welcome by his predecessor.

He is certain to be backed early on by Anfield owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG), who have been in place since 2010.

They certainly enjoyed a positive relationship with Klopp, who fully appreciated the system they have in place at Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp praises FSG in final Liverpool farewell

The American owners will be hoping for a similar relationship when Slot arrives for pre-season ahead of his first season in the dugout.

In his final Liverpool farewell event at the city’s M&S Bank Arena, with 10,000 Reds fans watching on, Klopp has now praised FSG, with a sly dig also taken at a handful of London-based clubs.

“Can anyone imagine Liverpool as the club with endless money?” said Klopp, as reported by James Pearce on X.

“It is not us. We won what we won and we did it the Liverpool way. The owners are good people.

“We should be really happy that we have these owners and not guys who bought London clubs. I felt supported. We did it as well as we could and I’m fine with it.”

Jurgen Klopp and FSG bring success to Liverpool

Liverpool went through a rather barren and very disappointing run before Klopp arrived on the scene in 2015.

But he and FSG worked in unison to improve the club in all aspects, a job that they most certainly achieved.

Klopp perhaps couldn’t help himself in taking a dig at the spending habits of the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal, but the Reds also spent plenty of money during his time in charge.

The German needed such investment in order to be successful, with his final Liverpool XI looking very different to his first XI in the league meeting with Tottenham in October 2015.

There are a handful of academy graduates in the current squad, but overall it certainly didn’t come cheap to assemble.
