Simon Jordan calls for FA to ban Klopp
Simon Jordan has stated that the Football Association’s punishment of Jurgen Klopp for his enraged confrontation with referees was insufficient.
The Reds manager was dismissed during the Reds’ victory over Manchester City after his team was denied a free-kick due to a foul on Mohamed Salah. However, he won’t have to watch their next match from the stands.
Instead, the FA fined the German £30,000 after he ran from his technical area and yelled at the officials.
But despite Klopp’s admission that he “lost it” during his team’s 1-0 victory over their title rivals from the previous season and subsequent apology, talkSPORT’s Jordan says the Reds manager shouldn’t get away with his actions.
