Klopp: No chance to flash cash

FROM BACK PAGE must review their transfer plans because revenue has been hit.

“At the moment all clubs are losing money,” said the Liverpool boss. “Without spectators we have to pay back season tickets and probably sell none next year.

“The VIP areas won’t be packed and the tickets won’t be sold. This will have an impact on other partners and things will look a bit different.

“Discussing with the players things like salary waivers, and on the other hand buying a player for £50-£60m, that has to be explained.

“There are a lot of good players. Timo Werner (above) is a great player. Kai Havertz is a great player. There are all sorts of rumours, but it’s rather quiet here at the moment.

“We act as if everything is already settled, but it’s not settled. We use this little loophole we’ve been given to play football again. Everything else we have to see the moment it happens.

“We cannot pretend that everything is going to be fine in the future.”

“When someone has found the vaccine, when someone has found a solution to the problem, when infection rates are zero, that day will come eventually.

“Then we have the right to celebrate what we want to celebrate.

“If this is the 12th or 13th match day of next season and we want to celebrate it, who’s going to stop it?

“Then we still have the trophy and then we can drive it around town and stand on the bus.

“If other people then think that we are completely crazy, I honestly do not care.

“Can it then still be a special celebration? No question about it.

“It is different, but different is sometimes absolutely OK.”
