TNT Sports have issued a light-hearted response to Jurgen Klopp's rant regarding the broadcasting company.

The Liverpool boss has frequently criticised TNT, formerly known as BT Sport, during his reign on Merseyside due to their tendency to assign the Reds 12:30pm kick-off times, which do not allow for sufficient player recovery time in the eyes of most managers.

Liverpool have received a total of 37 early start times on a Saturday afternoon since 2017/18, more than any other side in the league, with Tottenham Hotspur next on the list with 32 and Manchester City third with 30.



Chelsea have been given 27, the same as Manchester United.

I was actually waiting for Amnesty International to go to them."

Ending his rant in less serious fashion, Klopp added: “But they are still happy and they like subscribers.

Making light of Klopp's comments about one day being a pundit, the TV company have mocked up an application form with three boxes ticked: Champions League winner, Premier League winner, multilingual.

The one box left unchecked on Klopp's imaginary pundit application form is 'available to work 12:30pm on Saturdays', hinting they have seen the funny side of the frustrations of the Liverpool manager in respect of their kick-off choices.
