The “Normal One”, the German from the Black Forest…..

My weekly market commentary may be taking on a German influence going forward, given the appointment of Jurgen Klopp as manager of Liverpool FC.

Describing himself as ‘a normal guy from the Black Forest’, Klopp is a true character that should provide plenty of material. He is also a proven winner with Borussia Dortmund, an icon in German football and particularly among the Dortmund faithful.

Of course, the disclaimer that you see on every investment fund factsheet also holds true in the football world: “past performance is no guarantee of future results”. Still, I am confident Klopp has the skill and the natural enthusiasm to end Liverpool’s premier league drought!
