Pundit explains why Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp's 'seven-year curse' is a non-starter LFC
AdvertisementKlopp’s ‘curse’ first began at Mainz whom he took into the Bundesliga in 2003/04 season, but left when he failed to secure promotion back to the top flight in 2008 – his seventh season – following relegation.
At Dortmund, after two league titles in seven seasons and a Champions League runner-up spot, he left at the end of the 2014/15 season with the club in seventh place, 23 points behind winners Bayern Munich.But Brassell believes Klopp’s situation at Liverpool is different, despite the Reds struggling in his seventh season.
“I think firstly you’ve got to bare in mind what happened to Dortmund didn’t happen suddenly,” he told“It happened over a period of time. You know sometimes in our minds I think we think they went from being the champions of Germany and being in the Champions League final to being bottom of the Bundesliga on their backsides. That did not happen.
“They won the title in 2011 and 2012, they got the Champions League final in 2013 and were unlucky to lose to Bayern and Wembley and were certainly the better team in the first half of that game.
