Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists the club's owners FSG are "good people".

Klopp was speaking ahead of today's clash with Newcastle United.

He said, "We were pretty much thrown into it, we had no idea what's going on, we didn't know exactly how people will react. Stuff like this. We had our own opinion. Yeah, that was not so cool but I would not say we only drew at Leeds because of that. It was just the situation. Now actually, we tried to concentrate fully on football again. But we are not there; we realise things are still going on, a lot of talks, different things happening at other clubs.

"The only thing I can say: I really hope that the bond between us and our supporters might even get stronger and we don't discuss now always bad decisions in the past. I just don't understand life like this, to be honest. Good people – and I can tell you, I know our owners, they are not perfect, like I am not perfect and you are not perfect, but they are not bad people. They made a not-so-good decision. Let me say, a bad decision, that's true. But let's carry on. But that's my point of view and I cannot tell other people how they want to see it.

"But I really try that all my life, that if there is something you cannot change anymore, 'Come on, carry on.' Carry on, make sure you are as good as possible, that you are ready for each fight as much as possible, get a stronger unit if possible and go out there and show the world that we can deal with pretty much everything. So, nothing happened and nothing will happen in the near future with the teams.

"They will not come around the corner next week again and try to do something. For sure not. They all learned their lesson, I'm pretty sure. But now we have just to make sure we don't get any harm off it, like a different atmosphere in the club – for other clubs it's the same obviously – where now fans fight with coaches and managers and teams. I don't know if that's true or not.

"But if things like this happen, that would be then the really bad thing about it. That would be the really bad thing about it, nothing else. Because the rest didn't happen. So, they tried something, it was not allowed, so come on, let's go back to the beautiful game it always was."
