European Super League: Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp against idea but will not quit

Players not to blame for Super League - Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp

Jurgen Klopp is determined to remain Liverpool boss and "help sort it" after reiterating his opposition to the European Super League.

The Reds are one of 12 clubs to agree to the breakaway competition.

In 2019 Klopp said he hoped there would never be a Super League and before the 1-1 Premier League draw with Leeds he confirmed his opinion had not changed.

"I heard I will resign. If times get tough it makes me even more sticky that I will stay," he said after the game.

Reds vice-captain James Milner was even more critical of the new tournament - which has threatened to cause a schism in football.

"I don't like it one bit and hopefully it doesn't happen," he told BBC Sport.

"It [the current system] has worked well for a long time. What has made it special, what we have done over the last few years, is we have earned the right to win the Champions League and the Premier League. The product we have currently is very good.

"It is difficult. Coming into the game today Leeds fans were making their feelings shown. As players we don't really have a say so it feels a bit unjust."

Former England captain Alan Shearer said it was unfair for Klopp to have to address the ESL and end up in an awkward situation.

"He doesn't want what his owners want and that is a really powerful voice," Shearer told BBC Breakfast.

"Where are these owners? Why don't they come out and tell us why they want a closed shop that no-one else can get into">
