right former Liverpool Defender and now
of course Sky Sports expert Jamie
carrier joins us live on the phone Jamie
very good evening I guess I got to start
with how do you react to the
news I think the same as as most
Liverpool supporters around the world in
shock and er feeling really maybe a
little bit emotional sad really that you
know this day was always going to come
at some stage but i' thought it you know
be another couple of years J KS just
mentioned his contract R till 2026 and I
went ahead this morning that there was
there was news coming out to Liverpool
and J klopp was doing an interview if
you'd have asked me you know before the
interview what I thought it would be it
have probably been the fact that he
might have signed a new contract because
I just felt you know there's no doubt
last season would have taken its toll on
him H it have been tough for him and
just the end of last season and the
start of this season I just felt with a
new team younger players coming in he
may have been reenergized and felt you
know why would I want to pass this young
team on now it looks like it's on the
cusp of you know being really successful
and maybe doing as well as his first um
you know Liverpool team so yeah I'm
still in shock and uh yeah I'm really
sad about the situation because right
now you know you think of Liverpool you
think of young
Club Jamie you talk about the surprise
of the decision but young klopp has
always Main mained that he wants to
leave the club in good health when he
departs and with the squad doing so well
and he speaks about the potential the
capacity they have to improve that
they've all connected so well together
he feels it's the right time for him to
step down at the end of the season can
you see
that listen I can understand that i'
I've watched obviously his press
conference at the club all little bit on
Sky Sports News Today different
interviews so obviously you know he he's
putting his thoughts out there and
you're trying to you know work out how
how it works and and listen you can only
commend the man because I think what
he's basically saying is you know he may
have been ready to actually walk away in
the summer in some ways but Liverpool
had had such a poor season he didn't
feel he could leave the club in that
situation because of his the connection
and his feeling for the club so he
wanted to almost feel like it was on the
right foot and again there's no doubt
that is the case right now you know it
looks like could be really exciting last
s a three or four mon to Liverpool in
terms of winning trophies but I think
when you're a manager and you go through
that pain of last season and then you
come out the other side I think most
managers would say I want to enjoy the
fruits of of maybe this team and where
this team can go in the next sort of two
or three years because as I said I as a
manager I had to go through that pain of
just the last season when the were
people putting in really poor
performances and results around this
stage of the season I remember s of
losing at wolves losing at Brighton
there was another bad I think at Bren
all coming really close together and you
know sometimes we we think you know
certain managers the greats in the
Premier League you know Alex FAS and
pepol Jose Marini for a Time ason venga
that in some ways these these people are
super human but they're not you know
they go through those emotional highs
and lows of a football team and I I I
just think the own feeling listening to
Jen that I just think L Series must have
really took its toll on him and he's
just in a position now where he feels
like you know Liverpool can still
prosper and he need to
bre you talk about how exacting that job
of being a manager is especially at the
elite end when you are competing with
Manchester City and we've seen klopp
over and over again put Liverpool before
himself he's earned the right now to put
himself
first well of course that's just to Shen
klopp that's any manager you know you
you've got to you know look after
yourself and your health and you got
have the right energy ER you know to
take a football team on but I think when
you're managing one of the real big
clubs and Liverpool certainly come into
that category and I think that's what
makes theen Club special and and some of
the great and I think Alex Ferguson
really had this as well I think we we
can't underestimate you know the the
importance of energy and enthusiasm for
a job every day yes we know these are
you know great football Minds have great
knowledge they they take us to places
tactically and move the game forward
that that that's why they're so special
but you know they got to get up every
day and motivate a group of players and
to do it for that lenta time as about J
klopp did has done Liverpool also
already did at brucia Dortmund and what
Al did unbelievably for so long at
Manchester United yeah a lot you know
it's not just the actual knowledge and
what's going on you know between the re
the actual enthusiasm and and energy
like he driving themselves forward and
driving a football club forward is
unique and that's why we don't see it so
often that managers last this long
because it takes you know it takes a
toll and you know with the media social
media now the demands that we put on you
know manage ourselves in the media as
well question them if they lose a couple
of games you know that that's that's
that that's a that's the ticket now for
managers at any club but certainly at
the biggest clubs there's a lot of
questions asked of these people and uh
and yeah he he can work away any time he
wants say he's put so much of his of his
life and his energy into Liverpool
Football Club Jamie you sound really
down the Liverpool fans I've spoken to
are absolutely gutted what sort of
effect is this to have on the club the
players and the
city well there's no doubt I think the
body blow this morning I think
everyone's in shock and uh yeah I think
it'll take a little bit of time to get
to get over but I do feel between now
and the end of the season is going to
be a party there going to be a roller
coaster ride I really do believe that
and it'll be a case of you know
let's send this this man off you know
for what he's done for the club and what
he's given to us that you know we wanted
to go out go out with a bang I think I
put on social media earlier on that you
know Li people are fighting on Forefront
who knows it's very really difficult to
win trophies uh as we know at Liverpool
but the
atmosphere and anfield you can imagine
that will be against sort of nor in the
FA Cup is the next game Chelsea's the
next League game you know man city have
still got to come there with the biggest
rivals for the league title with
Liverpool uh European nights to come you
know the Europa League so I've just got
the feeling that most games at anfield
will be like a European night and that
that could really sort of galvanize and
push this Liverpool team probably a
little bit further than maybe people
thought he would go and who knows where
that will take them you know I would
still probably say Manchester City in
most people's eyes are slight favored
for the title but I think Liverpool
could be favored in almost every other
competition that they in and and I'd
just be desperate as I think most
Liverpool supporters will be right now
is that J klopp is sent off with a
couple of trophies at least uh and have
a really big swan song uh on those last
final few weeks in his last game and I'm
feel that we can give him you know the
the salute and the remembrance and uh
you know the thanks that he uh that
he said though in the video when he
released the news that
this must not the rest of the season
must not become about him how do
Liverpool avoid
that well jagen can say that H but it's
probably not up to him really I think he
means that in terms of you know jous
questions you know before games maybe
after games and I'm sure he'll just shut
that down straight away and rightly so
but I think the emotion and the feeling
that the supporters have for them I
think it'd be very difficult for that to
to move away and people to forget that
he is moving on uh but all but I've got
no problem with that and I think all
that's got to do is create an atmosphere
within amfield certainly uh that pushes
Jen klopp and his team over the line in
the in these in these competitions that
Liverpool are still fighting for now
anfield is known for that anyway it's
you know it's you know it's not just me
speaking as as an ex Liverpool player I
think most players and managers in this
country played or managed things
Liverpool know there's a special
atmosphere there I thinking can it
become even more special between now and
the end of the season because of this
news and can it then as I said push
Liverpool a little bit closer to the U
to the trophies that the pting
for are you um confident that the club
has a succession plan in
place well the club found out in
November uh listen to club today so and
would they have spoken to anyone before
today I'm I'm not sure and the reason I
say that cuz I think everyone been so
desperate for the news not to get out
and I'm sure Jens obviously have to tell
a few people the closer he's got to the
decision staff and as players and the
fact that it hasn't got out his
Testament to everybody involved you know
at the club and uh yeah I think from now
though Liverpool have to get into
intergate in terms of bringing somebody
in because listen this has happened
before Liverpool Football Club not going
to fall because you clubs left we are
losing one of the greatest managers in
World football one of the greatest
managers that Liverpool have ever had
and it is a sad day now no doubt but at
the end of the season we can all look
back on his time but in the same breath
we've got to be looking forward to the
new man coming in and get behind him and
support him and Bill shankley left Bob
Paisley left Kenny AG left and uh
Liverpool moves on and get to the Great
managers and that will happen uh who
knows who the new man who will be to
come in but uh there's a great structure
in place of the football club I think
the football club is in a much better
place right now than it was when young
Club first came in and that's why
everybody associated with the club loves
Club so much because we realized the
situation Liverpool were in at that time
when he came in but it's certainly not
in that same space right now um finally
Jamie um okay so you're saying a great
manager is going to come in if it was
down to you who would that great manager
be well I think right now you you look
at the Premier League and you look
around Europe and you think who who fits
Liverpool uh
there's no doubt you can't get away from
shabby Alonzo a former teammate of mine
because he's so respected at Liverpool
already for what he did as a player as a
Champions League winner as well held
himself at real class he's a World Cup
winner that's just his playing side you
think of the managers that he's been
managed of Rafa Bonitas at Liverpool
Jose Mourinho and chelot all all these
great figures and right now the job he's
doing a bay lusen if he looks almost
like the brightest young thing in in
European football there's no doubt about
that um the other one I look at in the
Premier League I look at der Zerby at
Brighton who's done a fantastic job and
the thing that stands out about them as
well as which always stood out about Jen
klopp was that Jen klopp was successful
without being the biggest or biggest
Spenders of teams if you like so you're
looking at chabby Alonzo right now he
have Bay lusen trying to compete with
Bayern Munich you look at what the's
done a bright and competing with you
know other you know top teams in the
league and doing really well especially
last season but I I would certainly say
the Runner and I don't think I'm being
too original in setting this but would
certainly be shabby alono I mean the job
he's doing a by lus I think they're
still the only undefeated team in Europe
now in all competitions and there's a
long way to go they're in a great
position in all competitions and yeah uh
I think with his playing career what
he's achieved the manages he's had and
the start he's made to his managing
career I think it certainly makes him
the foot Jamie great to speak to you
thanks very much for coming on thank
you
