New Liverpool boss sees funny side of lunchtime slot after Klopp criticism
New Liverpool head coach Arne Slot joked TNT Sports selected the Reds' opening match of the new season at Ipswich for a lunchtime kick-off because Jurgen Klopp was no longer in charge.
Klopp was a constant critic of Saturday 12.30 starts, especially after midweek games and international breaks, and in one of his final press conferences last month said they were "a crime".
But while the man in the top job at Anfield has changed, things have stayed the same with an early start at Portman Road on August 17.

"They've told me it's going to be 12.30... from what I know, Jurgen complained a lot about this so probably they thought, with Jurgen being out let's put them at 12.30 again," he told the club's website.
"It's different to a normal 12.30 because it's not after a game in Europe. Looking forward to it. A promoted team so it's going to be special for them as well.
"I think every team might prefer a home game to start with, but we're going to face Ipswich and we are looking forward to that.
In Klopp's eight-and-a-half-year reign at Anfield almost 14 per cent of their fixtures were at Saturday lunchtime, comfortably more than any other Premier League team.
Last season they had six - Manchester City and Manchester United had three apiece.

Slot: I waited until after Klopp departure to contact Liverpool players
New Liverpool manager Arne Slot has revealed how he has contacted some of his new players already, but is keen to meet them in person rather than over the phone.
He added that he waited until after Jurgen Klopp's departure to begin any conversations.
In his first interview, given with the club's media channels, he said: "I've reached out to a few of them - all of them after Jurgen left, because I thought that was really important to be fair to Jurgen and to the players.
"They had to end the season and I don't think I would be really happy if my successor would have called players before I left the club.
"Then I think it's normal to start with the captain, which is Virgil [van Dijk] - which is an easy one for me because we could speak Dutch.
"I called a few others, but not many of them because most of them are playing at the Euros, and some others are at the Copa America.

"The best way is to keep a certain distance but also be interested in them as well, and hope most of them - especially the Dutch - will still be as long as possible away so they will reach the final.
"Then afterwards I will get to meet them and I think that's a better way of getting to know each other than by phone or Zoom meetings."
When questioned on transfers, Slot added: "[There are] still one or two positions to fill in and we are talking about this and having meetings about this as well."
