Klopp more or less said that the TV companies are out to stop the ten double.

An unhinged mess. Plenty of clubs play Wednesday/Thursday and early Saturday/Sunday.

:D Nah, he went nowhere near saying that.

Playing abroad midweek and playing early game Saturday is what he was objecting to. Most clubs aren't doing that. And he doesn't argue that anyone else should.

Rangers and Celtic have done it for years. In fact Rangers are doing it in a couple of weeks.

Guardiola and Solskjaer have also moaned about playing at noon or 12.30 on Saturday after a mid-week game.

All the “big teams” do. If they don’t like it, maybe they shouldn’t be as successful as they are. They should contrive to become a mid table run of the mill side if it bothers them that much.

I think he's well aware of what the broadcasting money does for them, that doesn't mean he can't have an opinion when it comes to player wellfare. He's warned before about the injuries that would result from the schedules, and argued for things like continuing with 5 subs. Kelly's well aware and still acts like an incredulous toddler.
Kelly seemed like he was just doing his job, asking tough questions of managers. Klopp had a personal go at him twice, which really isn't a good look.

Didnt see it as personal. Kelly defends his employer's right to select whatever game they like, nothing unexpected there. Klopp doesnt want to play midweek and get selected for the early Saturday game. No, it wasn't a great look, he could have ended the interview when Kelly started the wind-up and not got drawn on it. I'd rather see him make his point though that be one of these managers/players who are media trained to say eff all in every interview.
