Its no different than pre-season in hockey.
If you want the money then its the nature of the beast.
They sold ~100,000 tickets to see Liverpool and United's 'C' squads, the most telling thing for me was that Klopp was looking at the positives and the growth in some of his new signings and young players and Mourinho was just complaining.
Your manager is the face of your team, if all he does is bitch and moan instead of working with his players and taking positives where he can then guess what the attitude of your team is going to be like?

This thread is great now! Klopp is the whingiest manager in the league at this point. If it’s not the pitch it’s a concussion that took three weeks to diagnose or crying that they can’t spend enough money. But you’re right about one thing...it bled through to the players pretty quickly. The endless complaining about Kane’s goal, or referees or Henderson not being captain or a litany of other issues has shown through. It’s a model of class.
