Simon Jordan claims Jurgen Klopp does NOT deserve spot in Premier League Hall of Fame
Simon Jordan says Jurgen Klopp has NOT done enough yet at Liverpool to earn a spot in the Premier League Hall of Fame.
Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and ex-Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger were inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame following their legendary managerial careers.
The latest inductees prompted Jordan to discuss the topic as he brought up Manchester City's Pep Guardiola as a future Hall of Famer.
But he argued AGAINST Klopp being inducted into the Hall of Fame, claiming one Premier League title doesn't warrant a future spot.

On talkSPORT, he said: "When you look at Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson that have had this longevity, but you look at the fact that Wenger - how many Premier League titles did he actually win?
"Then you look at Pep Guardiola, and he will compress, probably twice the amount of titles that Arsene Wenger won into half the amount of time.
"So, I think it's undeniable that the next cab off the rank to go into this hall of fame, would most likely be Pep Guardiola."
Jordan continued: "I don’t see how he can’t have done [enough], because if you have won the Premier League four out of the last five seasons, I think that is a remarkable record, and I think it will put him right up there.
"It will supersede what Arsene Wenger did. Wenger's record is ‘The Invincibles’, and the fact that Arsenal and Manchester United were the two poster boys for the Premier League."
On Klopp's chances of being inducted into the Hall of the Fame, the former Crystal Palace owner added: "And then you start to run a little bit dry, because I don’t think you could suggest winning one Premier League gives Jurgen Klopp a scenario."
Klopp has forged a stellar career as Liverpool manager, having won the Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup.
And, of course, the Premier League title in 2020, where his side amassed a staggering 99 points and lost just three games all campaign.
Despite his brilliance at Anfield, Jordan isn't convinced he deserves a future spot in the Hall of Fame.
