“His story in management is a story of someone who has transmitted a sense of intelligence and self-confidence in everything he does and everyone he works with.” Jurgen Klopp took over a 10th placed Liverpool, crippled by trying to live up to its own history. Today, Klopp presides over the Premier League and reigning European […]

Dublin GAA have unveiled their plan to return to play in 2020 but it’s not great news for clubs outside of Senior A. There will be no promotion or relegation in any championship across football or hurling this year which means winners won’t move up a grade, as customary. The hurling gets everything under way […]

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to represent your county. There’s pride in doing it, there’s status and there’s fulfilment at reaching those levels and wearing a crest you grew up idolising.

In the space of a year, Klopp has […]
