Jurgen Klopp hits out at TNT Sports as Liverpool boss vows to 'never watch' channel again

Jurgen Klopp unloaded on TNT Sports and the English football schedule in a remarkable press conference.

Jurgen Klopp unloaded on TNT Sports and claims he will not watch the channel anymore in a explosive press conference on Friday.

Klopp has just three games left in his tenure at Anfield, starting with Sunday's visit of Spurs.

But while previewing the upcoming game, the German proceeded to hit out the English football schedule.

Klopp's men recently had to play eight games in a 23-day period and he believes players in the English top flight are over-worked to the point where it is "insane."

He has made his feelings clear on Saturday 12:30 kick-offs on many an occasion, as has his captain Virgil van Dijk.

And Klopp let rip into TNT Sports - even joking that Amnesty International should get involved because the TV schedule demands are a "crime" and claiming his team often have the quickest turnarounds between matches.

The 56-year-old also called for TNT to remove him from their list of subscribers as he will "definitely not watch again".

“I watch a lot of football all over the world, the Premier League is the best league in the world," Klopp said in his presser.

"So it’s not overrated. The players are over-worked. Easy as that. "You can talk about that until everybody realises finally, but somebody needs to help the people.

“I had a discussion only the other day with colleagues from our favourite TV channel which I will definitely not watch again, TNT, and said it’s always a conversation they have, saying they pay you, they give money to football. It’s not like that. I really don’t see it like that. It’s exactly the other way round, football pays them. They broadcast it, they deliver, but it’s not that TNT is not doing extremely well, or Sky or whoever, is doing extremely well.

"That they dare give Thursday, Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday 12.30 is a crime. I was actually waiting for Amnesty International to go to them. Somebody sits there - you love this press conference - so just somebody sits there and decides there. I would like to meet, I would like to once be part of that meeting where somebody says, ‘Liverpool 12.30’, and the whole room is bursting into laughter. ‘Again?!’ I would like to be there.

"In a whole world, we have the quickest turnaround between games. That is absolutely insane. But they are still happy and they like subscribers. You can take me off that list! But if you’re looking for a pundit, I speak English! I could do it.”

In addition to the clash with Spurs, Liverpool also face Aston Villa and Wolves in Klopp's final stretch.
