Peterborough United Director of Football Barry Fry has told Football FanCast that Jurgen Klopp will need backing in the summer transfer window by Liverpool’s owners if he is to learn to trust them again.

The Reds were, of course, at the centre of the European Super League storm at the beginning of last week.

Along with Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Manchester City, Liverpool attempted to form a breakaway league that would have taken the place of the Champions League.

It also led to the prospect of the Reds being excluded from the Premier League, and led to furious fan protests from across the country.

Klopp gave an interview to Sky Sports before their clash with Leeds United, when the Super League was still on the table, and could not hide his displeasure, insisting his previous opposition to such a league had not wavered.

Fry thinks that FSG’s decision to involve the club in the plans will have severely affected the trust Klopp has in the owners, and believes the club will have to spend this summer to help rebuild that relationship.

He told FFC: “He’s got a great relationship with everybody and I think no matter what, it has soured that, however he is a football man and if they back him in football terms, i.e. his recruitment in the summer, which he’ll have to do some, I think he’ll be alright.

"But I’m not sure he’ll trust them the way he trusted them before this came out, I’m not sure any manager will.”
