Transcripts

it is an incredible resume when you look

at what he's achieved at Liverpool

looking at the team he took over and the

team he'll be leaving at the end of the

season it is quite the contrast as he

welcome it Mark Ogden's with us as is

Frank lauff and live from his first day

on

holiday Steve could have done it

yesterday Steve n joins us uh Stevie

let's get your reaction

first you know the first thing that came

in my head when I when I saw the news

was what do we do now I mean that that

was exactly where it went what do we do

now you know this is not just a change

of a manager you know Jurgen Club has

put himself in a position where a club

the size of Liverpool it's it's almost

when you think of Liverpool now you go

straight to Club you know the club's

nearly nearly 150 years old there's only

been three managers that regardless of

whether you're 100 years old or a year

old you think of shankley you think of

Paisley you think of D le well now young

and klopp is in that group that's that's

how good and how important this guy has

been to Liverpool you know the holy

grail for 30 year was to win the English

Championship which was then now the

Premier League and outside of Liverpool

you don't understand how much pain

Liverpool find and teams and managers

and coaches went through with that

question of when you going to win the

league when you going to win the league

this guy answered all those questions

and I mean how do you replace them as I

said the the first thing I said was what

what now and and I don't know what the

answer to that is quite honestly and

we'll talk about who's next in a moment

Craig what was your initial

reaction well obviously it was

surprising news

because nobody saw it come in middle of

the season a season where they've

recovered from last year and are flying

at this moment in time but when you hear

when you heard them talk and it was from

the heart and he's not doing this

because he wants to leave Liverpool with

the issue that Stevie talked about he's

doing it because I think he feels it's

just taking its toll on him that he's

not run out of gas but he's running out

of gas and he doesn't feel that he'll be

able to give the commitment that he's

given for this eight and a half years of

turning this club around into one of the

big you

know this team around into a team that's

won the Premier League won the Champions

League won domestic Cup competitions in

England just seems to be going to Cup

Final after Cup Final and has played

some of the most amazing football uh and

energetic football when you think about

Jurgen klopp's Liverpool side you think

about watching a game at anfield and I'm

pick out say the Barcelona game the the

game where they were losing and came

back you just think about a club side

you think about energy MH and he's

brought energy and dynamism back into

this Liverpool team this Liverpool crowd

and I think he's just he's run out of

that a little bit and the press

conferences the travel the day-to-day

grind and and so yeah the big problem

for Liverpool is is where do they go

next I'm sure they'll figure it out but

I can totally understand him just saying

do you know

what there is more to life than just

bashing your head away at it day after

day after day year after year and so

fair plaum he's decided to take a a step

away and do what's right for him which

is you cannot argue with that Shaka you

told me your first thought was of course

Stevie I think many people are like

Goodness Me Oh Stevie going to handle

this news he's already got his hands

full weird weird Disney um like most

here in the East SCH of the US wake up

to this news and it it it just doesn't

make a whole lot of sense if if Jan

klopp had said this uh at this point

last season when Liverpool weren't

having a good season you could

understand but Liverpool sitting top of

the table as they are right now um and

and you just felt that it it it just it

just didn't seem didn't seem to add up

and then you go and I I I switched on

that that interview that he did with

Liverpool TV and it it struck me um how

genuine he was how how human he was

about it all and then in in a sense

where the normal progression of things

is for managers to run steal and their

teams to run Ste alongside them so and

that it leads to the eventual dismissal

of a manager here he is coming out and

saying listen I'm running still I don't

want the the club to follow in that path

time to time to take some kind of an

action now um so at least you can keep

some of this momentum going and I

thought that was was that was Brave on

his part um and and one that again just

kind of as he always seems to have done

keep the club as a priority and and as

much as he's saying that and he then

goes on to say let's not make this about

me we I'll answer your questions and

from there on WE it's business as usual

and and I thought again that

was you know controlling a narrative

about a manager who continues to put the

club before himself in so many ways just

just briefly one of the things he said

one of the quotes I've seen from today

was he said you know nobody else knows

and can tell me how I feel he said it's

like driving the car at 150 160 mph down

the motorway he says clearly the gas is

starting to run out he said but I'm the

only one that can see the needle moving

right and so for him where this decision

came was it a week ago was it a month

was it at the start of the season was it

through last year I I don't know but

he's the only one that can can see the

needle moving and and as I said I don't

think whil else there be a lot of worry

and frustration back in Liverpool I

don't think anybody will have a problem

with the fact that he feels it's right

for him uh Mark Ogden was at the press

conference today after this announcement

uh was released did he announce it today

because it was going to come out

Mark we don't know that but that that

would seem the obvious conclusion but

it's told Liverpool in no M so the

alternative theory is that Liverpool in

that time have been looking for a

replacement and they are now making

progress and they didn't want it to come

out at the other end you know they are

looking at potential successes so now

that the secrets out there the game is a

gossipy industry and but once lipol

start asking questions about the

availability of managers then clearly

the question is going to be why you

asking that question so I do get the

sense that klopp wanted it out there but

also it felt a little bit like that it

was a a nudge towards this he had had a

press conference yesterday when he could

have announced it and he didn't so it

does feel like it was about to break

somewhere and Liverpool thought the best

way to do it is to control it ourselves

but like I say when they are looking for

a new coach a new manager obviously

people are going to talk because agents

managers siblings chairman all all know

so it would going to come out eventually

so they had to they had to move today so

the concern for Liverpool fans is how

much of a distraction could this be

between now and the end of the season

klopp addressed that in that press

conference

when you spoke to the players and and

they asked you the questions probably

that we're all asking today how did you

ensure with them or what was the message

about making sure this isn't a

distraction because he's still fighting

on foref

fronts the players did have a lot of

questions I spoke to the players all

together then I spoke to a few players

after that the players we are a really

we have a really strong bond a really

strong bond so they didn't ask questions

disrupt I understand it's I think of a

lot of um people from the outside who

are not with us uh will be happy blah

blah blah stuff like this um it's your

job to ask questions uncomfortable

questions whatever that the destruction

comes from outside and but to get

destructed you always need two parts one

who destruct and the other one who let

it happen and we will not let it happen

the fact that I said I will not be the

manager for next year is not an excuse

to to do a step less or whatever so we

will be completely in it and we will

fight for everything I'm here with 100%

And that's a good news I just know I

cannot do the job in the future but I

can do it very well um right now and

that's what I

um will

do it's not ideal though is it Stevie

because any poor performance now from

Liverpool from now to the end of the

season this will be a fact to the people

point

to well I think I think the key is what

he said you know he will make sure sure

that inside Liverpool uh that won't be

the case and I actually don't believe

that it's really going to be such a huge

distraction anytime any press bring it

up he will absolutely smash it to smoth

R very quickly put a put a wet blanket

on it and and and ask for the next

question and you you'll find out what a

distra distraction this will be because

against Norwich at home and the FA Cup

they better put some more Nails in the

roof cuz the roof's going to come off

when he walks out for the start of the

game and that's what's going to happen

between now and the end of the season

you've got a bunch of players you got a

squad of players you got a staff and and

I'm talking about everybody in the

building who between now and that guy

leaving the building will be running

through brick

walls doing anything anything to make

his last period at the club a success uh

so I I really don't see a a distraction

partly because of the way he is uh and

just partly

because there's going to be the every

time you step on the field the players

in particular and the crowd at anfield

are going to be behind him they're going

to want to give him a send off so yeah I

I'm I'm less worried about what this

does between now and the end of the

season and all might put me right as far

as I remember everybody at man united

knew that Alex was leaving and they went

on and won the Premier League so yeah I

don't think it's a big distraction we

know what happened to them after Sir

Alex Ferguson left we'll talk about that

in moment but Frank I want to bring you

into the conversation as a player would

this prove to be a distraction at

all yes yes it is because you wonder you

know what's going to happen next season

what kind of coach or who kind of Coach

you're going to get and of course it's

it's a question mark but they all

professional and uh and as a

professional you know that you have to

to think about the present and do the

job um you you see in front of you and

what they have to to to achieve is the

Premier League is the carabu Cup Final

so um and maybe the FA Cup so so it's uh

champions league as well it's a it's

what you have to do right now uh but of

course in at the back of your head you

you think about it I just want to say

it's a sad news for for for Stevie for

the red but also for the Premier League

because he say he will never ever coach

another another club and he was so

charismatic even if he was sometime in

pain in the neck he was he was somebody

we you the the Prem League needed and

that's that's very sad and good luck

good luck for the next one because as

you mentioned after Alex Ferguson he

been trouble for Manchester United after

Asen benger he's been trouble for

Arsenal I don't know it's hard to C with

a situation where you're a long-term

coach and you get somebody else who

Under Pressure like hell and um which

normally doesn't manage very well I've

always said it's it's it's a bigger

problem for Liverpool and Manchester

City

not when the star players leave when

those two managers decide it's time to

take a sabatical or take some time off

that's all that has that has been

evident by the way they have managed

wherever they've been but particularly

at these two clubs that that is the

biggest headache above any star player

is these two guys at the helm uh Mark

obviously Stevie bringing up Alex

Ferguson of course it was the second

time that he said he was going to retire

in fact he did cuz the first time all

turned out to be a mess the big question

now I suppose is who is going to replace

Jurgen klopp and it's all about chvy

Alonzo at the

moment that's a good

idea uh well be a good idea if Mark

Ogden's internet will but that's all

right don't worry let's let's discuss

then something that has been discussed a

lot actually we hear from chvy so we

play that clip now he was asked about

Archie Rin by Archer Rin T today in the

B Ken press conference about the

possibility of him moving to

Liverpool how shocked were you by the

news with joggen klopp this morning and

is there a time

maybe after the end of your contract at

lusen where the Liverpool job would

appeal to

you well first of all yeah it was it was

surprise but but as well uh you know I

have huge respect for for Jurgen huge

admiration before coming to Liverpool

and during his year it has even been

bigger and it has grown no the way what

he has achieved and the way he has it

has a he has achieved that and at the

moment I am really happy here I am

enjoying my work here I am feeling that

uh each day it's it's a challenge each

game is a challenge and we are in a in

an intense but a beautiful Journey here

in in lusen and I am trying to give my

best to help my my players be ready for

for the next thing and that's that's my

goal what will come in next one I don't

know if I could just um

uh when it comes to taking your career

at your own pace we've seen other ex

players have have gone and taken jobs

and it's not gone as well as it has for

you for example in terms of you look at

the speed that you worked with s your

dad there and now coming here is pacing

your career something which is important

to

you to be honest I am not in that moment

to think about the next step I'm

thinking about where I I am right now

and I think that I am in a in a great

place and I am enjoying and I think it's

it's the right place so so that's that's

all I can say I don't know about the

paces my pace is what's going to be at

the pace of the team in in on Saturday

to be honest because that's what really

matters and I'm going to be happy when

when we are playing playing well and we

deserve to win and what what's going to

happen in the future I I don't know and

I don't really I don't really care at

the

moment shabby alono saying every single

thing right there you have to say to to

the question it was never ever ever ever

going to say anything other than the

standard he had his but straight and he

never moved it who do you want Stevie as

the next

coach I absolutely don't know listen and

I it would be such a gamble you know

that that list that you put up there's

none of us can say there's a bad coach

on it let's be honest they're all good

coaches but to follow on from a guy like

club and to take a job besides a

Liverpool you need to be more than just

a good coach and shavey

Alonzo and his football experience as a

as a coach and manager I'm not so sure

he's got that to fall back on you know

he's he's never faced any adversity

everything's been smooth you know you

look at you look at klopp for all the

success he had at Dortmund he he had

some he had some bad times you know

losing Cup finals is hard and then you

go through a period where you actually

nearly get

relegated I mean these are all things

that at the time you wish didn't happen

but it's part of your makeup it's part

of your your your psyche and and then

when these things are thrown at you all

of a sudden you you've got somewhere to

go to deal with it shavey Alonzo has

none of that so it would be a huge

gamble for such a young coach to be

thrust into the the Liverpool job number

one just the fact that it's the

Liverpool job but number two having to

follow Jurgen klopp so I I right now I

really don't know um they're all good

coaches but do do they have the

character and do they have that Little X

Factor that that the great managers have

in order to take over and and and be a

success at Liverpool I really don't know

right now you might be looking Tower

isn't he

Stevie party at

Disney I think you could be looking at

some voice and chalice whoever takes it

no no I think you could be looking at

somebody like I I know it might not be

everybody's favorite but nagles right

you're looking at some somebody who has

been through that adversity that

Stevie's talked about did a really good

job I mean a very young manager a very

young manager as he was when he started

and still is what he did at hoffenheim

then what he did at RB leig yeah but

since then he's rubbish fine hold on has

tle been brilliant at Bayern no he

hasn't so nagles will say I went into

Bayern they didn't give me time uh

and he he found that adversity cuz he

got the sack now he's managing Germany

for the time being he's getting that

experience and it's a disaster so far

well listen he's not he's not a magician

is he he's not this German team's been

on a d with spiral for a long long time

all I'm saying is he's got something and

he's been through the ringer of gone

smaller clubs up to the big Club in

Bayern Munich it is as big if not bigger

than Liverpool and he'll say he was not

given time right but he has the energy

and he has more experience certainly

than chabby Alonzo uh to potentially

have his hat in the ring and and and and

be in what in those list to be talked

about I I

mean I think there is still a good

manager in there whether he's the genius

that some people tend to think he is I

think that remains to be seen but his

argument will be if you had let things

be at Bayern Munich things would have

been fine but they made a different

decision so I definitely think he is

going to be in the Reckoning the problem

is as well isn't it they're going to say

o we've given you the German job we're

hosting the Euros we want you to be 100%

focused on that not dithering around

saying who you want at Liverpool next

season if he gets the job there well

I'll go do you think chabby Alonzo who

we've just arur in is interview today

given all that sper but he's only

thinking about the next game they're all

thinking about this they're all thinking

a step ahead and yeah he wants to listen

if he wins the league with leverkus and

what what what an achievement that would

be because he's think he was thinking

about the real mad job before anchel lot

signed a new 2-year deal he's looking at

this going I've really enjoyed my time

there as a player there's a rapport I'm

doing really well at the moment I'm in

the I'm the front of course they're

thinking about it and so is Julian

Julian nman but there's that pressure

now yeah you're not playing the same way

as Jurgen klopp did you're not giving us

the same energy this team is not the

team that we want to see yeah coming in

coming in for a manager who's had the

successes that that you're klopp has is

is always going to be a difficult

difficult task trying to fill those

shoes

um you you may want to play a different

style you may ask different things at

different players so there's a lot

there's a lot to consider and while I

think Javi Alonzo because of his his

playing career with

Liverpool and he comes in with a longer

honeymoon period than anybody else it

doesn't it doesn't at all guarantee any

kind of success but he's quite clearly

one one of the young and upcoming

managers of of of world football and and

I think will be short after very soon so

if you're Liverpool and you have this

availability right now you understand

why XVI Alonzo take so many of those

boxes at the same time I of of the of

the list and with deser be coming in at

second I again I I think that's a very

good fit especially when you consider

Brighton's playing style and what

Liverpool who Liverpool have shown

themselves to be in terms of playing

style that also is is is a really good

fit for for me I I I I put probably put

nagles man as third on that list there's

some very good coaches on on there but a

a really big job that I'm not sure who

or how you handle that kind of pressure

well let's get a gauge off the man

himself which one Stevie if I said to

you nagles man what would be your

reaction it want be positive he's not in

the mood I don't I don't disagree with

what you said you know in terms of the

experience and going through the ringer

and not giv a chance uh absolutely you

know the the the one the one thing I

like about the deser one would be that

you're getting a manager who's going to

come in and play not the same but a very

very very s SAR type of football which

means

that the move from Club to another

manager I think would be a lot easier

for the players you know depending on

what kind of Coach you bring

in you you might knock them back a bit

and and have a completely different way

of playing I mean you think you think of

somebody like Trent Alexander Arnold a

different manager who plays a completely

different game you know how does that

work uh so yeah I I I don't disagree

with nagles man in terms of the way the

Zerby plays the game um I would I would

be iy piy on the two of them but I I

wouldn't have a problem with nagles

quite honestly what about zadan

Frank uh I don't believe it I don't

believe it because because for only one

reason I think there is the Euro uh this

next summer I don't know if desan is

going to carry on after that and there

is the possibility for zizu to get that

position and I think he's not going to

miss it and he doesn't want to Jo

anything so I don't think he's going to

go for it waiting for uh the result of

the national team and uh not maybe

hoping for something bad happening to

the the national team but just uh hoping

that maybe desan doesn't want to carry

on and get the job so I don't believe

that he's uh he's getting any option on

the on the Liverpool job if you're in

that Liverpool dressing room who would

you want

Frank I really think that's shabby Al

will be will be a fantastic um option um

especially if he win the the Bundesliga

with lusen he's going to come he knows

the club he knows how it works the way

he plays the football is going to suit

um I think he's going to uh keep on

doing what klopp is doing he's very

clever about that um and I I see him as

the best uh the best option um do a

second position for me but really shabby

Alonzo seems to be somewh some body very

smart like klopp is um knows how to keep

on building what klopp has made for the

past almost well nine years so I he will

be my favorite and as a player I will be

in the dressing room I say well I would

love to have that guy because he seems

to be the copy of Club what about

to what about him trying to maneuver a

scenario out of Bayern Munich because

there's been look they're not they're in

a title race they're not favorites at

the moment moment

the he might think and we know he's been

displeased with some aspects of of the

recruitment not at all cuz he got Harry

Kane and and and one or two others but

everything to me just doesn't seem a

Betty roses there with him right and I

don't know if there's any behind this he

certainly has the experience there is no

you can is it St of football Liverpool

want I I can't answer that question I'm

just throwing it out there that it

doesn't seem to me that it's a Bed of

Roses between him in the hierarchy at

Bayern Munich he's a very experienced

coach I would not 100% rule out

something like that happening uh Stevie

I know we've got to let you go for the

fireworks at some stage so you're not

you're not on extra time uh a lot of

people have asked whether or not you'd

be interested in the job oh yes

absolutely I think that would be I think

that would be very good I've got I've

got loads of experience of bombing so

that will come in

handy well at least you at least you

could give the Liverpool Echo some some

firsthand headlines oh yeah imagine oh

there you go yeah imagine steevie on the

touch live uh Stevie were you flying at

the time that all this happened I was

yeah and there was no internet or

anything and and I somehow got a little

message from Pete the director saying

can you come on I'm like is he

serious but of course had no idea that

klopp had had announced he was

leaving I thought he I thought he was

going to say message from the

pilot this is your captain

speaking M Mr nickel on board there is a

Mr Nick on and who who's been grumpier

you or your son who of course is a

massive Liverpool fan as well

Stevie do you know what we really

haven't said much about it we just kind

of looked to each other and kind of as I

said we were like what we going to do

now I mean that's that's as far as we've

got we' too busy jumping on and off

rides and walking I've done three m

afterno already oh my goodness thought

your cheeks looked a bit red yeah and

why is your top was on a roller coaster

hey hey they DED me into getting on a

roller coaster I never saw a thing I had

my eyes shot and I was hoing on for de

life which one did you go

on the Galaxy things of Gans of the

Galaxy that's quite fast that's a big

boy one lest in a go head I know look at

that what a lovely day you had
