Jurgen Klopp has often made his feelings clear about the Premier League’s difficult fixture schedule.
The prevalence of early kick-offs at the 12:30 mark has been a particular source of frustration for the German tactician during his time as Liverpool manager.
The 56-year-old went as far as admitting he would ‘never watch’ TNT Sports again whilst discussing fixture congestion, in comments relayed on X by David Lynch.
The former Borussia Dortmund boss is set to call time on his Anfield career this summer.

Jurgen Klopp in sensational form
What a way to go about spending your final weeks as Liverpool manager!
To be completely fair to Jurgen, he’s absolutely spot on – as we’ve noted countless times – to point the finger at the broadcasters.
We’ve seen a ludicrous number of injuries across the English top-flight (never mind us alone!) that have only increased owing to a rising number of games played at a domestic and international level.
How many times have we heard players complain about a game being played at a certain time or a certain day beyond that?
It’s all become a bit of a joke, and we can’t really blame Klopp for being utterly fed up with the whole mess.
