- Six English clubs that backed split will face anger, Klopp says
- Angry Leeds fans made feelings known on Monday
Jürgen Klopp believes the abuse Liverpool received in Leeds on Monday is merely a foretaste of what awaits the six Premier League clubs involved in the Super League fiasco when crowds return to stadiums.
The Liverpool manager was stunned by the hostile reception that greeted his team’s arrival at Elland Road and their customary pre-match walk in the city. On Friday he appealed to Liverpool fans to move on from the latest controversy caused by Fenway Sports Group, insisting the owners had made “a bad decision” but “are not bad people”, and said there was no reason to punish the clubs involved in the collapsed project. But he accepts there will be no escaping the consequences of their owners’ actions, and the widespread anger within football, when fans are allowed back.
