Borussia Dortmund's poor start to their 2014-15 Bundesliga campaign continued this past weekend with a 2-1 loss to Cologne. It left them with just seven points from eight games, placing them 14th in the table.

While the club's chief executive officer Hans-Joachim Watzke scoffed at the notion, it was still fascinating that talk of Klopp resigning from his job even emerged.

"I have always said that it's up to our coach to decide when his time at BVB has come to an end," Watzke told Bild, via ESPN FC's Stephan Uersfeld. "It will stay like that. He is not tired of office, not even for a second; he has the same energy like on his first day."

The CEO sensibly pointed out this was the "first real sporting crisis" in the tenure of the manager who won them the 2011 and 2012 German titles and took them to the 2013 Champions League Final.

Dortmund have not suffered the same form problems in Europe so far this season. Nonetheless, the ease with which they saw off Galatasaray was a further reminder there is still life in Klopp's methods yet.

His team brimmed with energy in the first half, closing down the Turkish side at every turn and pulling them apart with speed and precision passing.

There are obviously bigger issues with the black and yellows right now—fitness problems and the process of successfully integrating new and returning players. Klopp deserves the time to see things right, though, and positively, it seems like he will get it.
