Jamie Carragher Defends Klopp's Red Bull Appointment

Jamie Carragher has defended Jurgen Klopp's decision to join Red Bull as their Head of Global Soccer, labeling the criticism he faces as 'rubbish.' Klopp's move has drawn ire from fans of his former clubs, Borussia Dortmund and Mainz, due to Red Bull's controversial business practices and bypassing of the 50+1 fan ownership rule in Germany. Carragher argues that it is hypocritical for fans to criticize Klopp while their clubs benefit from player transfers with Red Bull clubs. He asserts that Klopp is not taking a managerial role but rather an overseeing position that allows him to engage with the sport at a high level. Carragher emphasizes that financial incentives often influence career decisions, highlighting that even those who oppose Red Bull may take opportunities if offered enough money. He also reminds critics of the previous player transfers between Dortmund and Red Bull clubs, questioning their stance on the matter.
