Jurgen Klopp: Liverpool manager get touchline suspension - Chris Sutton

Posted : 02 May 2023
Chris Sutton believes Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp ought to get a touchline suspension for his actions during Sunday's game against Tottenham.

In Liverpool's 4-3 victory at Anfield, Klopp received a yellow card for running up to the fourth official and celebrating the winner in the 94th minute.

"For the way he acted on the touchline, he should be banned from the technical area," Sutton said.

"I don't think a fine is enough. He's got previous."

The Liverpool manager afterwards claimed that the manner referee Paul Tierney responded to him after receiving his booking was "not OK." The manager suffered an
injury while rushing towards fourth official John Brooks.

However, the PGMOL, which represents referees, stated that it "strongly refutes" Klopp's assertions that Tierney's actions were "improper".

It's a major thing, Sutton continued. There may have been coaches and children there who observed and believed it was OK to run towards and slander authorities.

"As far as I'm concerned, Klopp should be banned. He knows what he did was wrong."

Sutton's plea for a touchline suspension for Klopp was repeated by Martin Cassidy, CEO of Ref Support UK.

The organization has urged the Football Association to take harsher measures, such as point deductions, to avoid such behavior in the future.

"We believe the ban should be at least three games," Cassidy told reporters.

"We also believe the FA should look at bringing in points deductions at all levels for those who regularly abuse match officials."

After being dismissed against Manchester City in October for insulting the referee's assistance, Klopp received a one-match suspension.

The German was warned about his future behaviour and given a £30,000 fine as well.
