Highlights

Jurgen Klopp has announced he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season.

Klopp said he told the club over the summer that he would leave, but only informed players this morning.

Klopp: "I realized my resources are not endless. I wanted to put everything into this last season, have a break, whatever, and then stop."

Klopp: "The players' reaction was top, really good. I'm here fully here, I answer a thousand questions if you want me too."

The backroom staff including Pep Lijnders are also leaving at the end of the season.

Klopp: "The summer was difficult...realizing how good this team can be gave me joy. I love each minute at this moment."

Klopp has strongly denied his departure has anything to do with the club owners FSG.

Most fans seem to want Xabi Alonso to replace Klopp as the next Liverpool manager.

Klopp: "What we've built is an incredibly strong structure. It's one of the reasons I can leave."

Billy Hogan: "I want to set an expectation first - it's a process we will go through to ensure we've looked at all the info, data, and done our proper due diligence."

Claims that players only found out this morning adds to suspicions on the bizarre timing of the announcement.

The next manager will inherit a great young team with a lot of potential and experience already gained.

Klopp deserves us to believe what he said, he deserves us to believe his reasoning.

The next week of big games vs Chelsea and Arsenal are massive, bad results will see blame immediately go to the announcement timing.

Whoever the next manager is, they are walking into a very good dressing room full of brilliant players.

Transcripts

what is up my friends I would say you're

very welcome along but that doesn't feel

the right sentiment to start off today's

show um sorry my alarm's gone off on my

phone there um yeah doesn't feel like

the right sentiment to start today's

stream we're going to give you live

updates from uran club's press

conference I'm going to feed you the

quotes as they come into to us um you've

probably watched or at least some of you

will have seen shvy Alonzo's press

conference with lcus earlier on H I've

been reading through some of the of

course before we go live just to see how

people are feeling um there's a couple

of people who are putting names into the

chat that quite frankly ludicrous I see

the likes of zidan's name being

mentioned I mean look he's just not a

Liverpool Football Club manager he isn't

you

know today's about two things really I

guess today is about um acknowledging

everything Jurgen has done for the

football

club um trying to process where we're

all at and I guess we got to look

forwards then as well look to the Future

what that might hold what it might look

like I mean I've said for years on this

channel continuity has always been

really important and it's one thing

we've had that maybe other clubs haven't

had in the last few years is that

certainty of of manager and Direction um

over the last couple of hours I've been

trying to put things together and make

it make sense and you know try to see if

if there's reasons that are a little bit

outside of what we're being told and the

truth is there's probably a whole

combination of things uh I don't really

believe in conspiracy theories around

stuff like this you know the big

question I've been left asking all day

is why now with the announcement because

apparently he told the club in the

summer so all I can think of um putting

my rational brain on is just to think

that maybe a leak was going to come out

or something and that that's why it had

to be now and some more information

again from earlier on is that apparently

the players were only told this morning

um the club knew in the summer but the

players apparently according to reports

only found out this morning like the

rest of us which uh again I can only

sometimes feel like these things

are are maybe forced to a time frame

because of leaks or something I don't

know but here's some quotes coming in uh

I've been doing this for 24 years said

klopp I've invested everything I have I

realized that my resources are not

endless um I wanted to put everything

into this last season have a break

whatever and then stop klopp said you

realize yourself you're not a young

rabbit anymore you can't jump as high as

you did it's not that I thought about it

on purpose it just happened then I

started thinking about it and this club

with all the super things we have this

club needs a top manager so a couple of

things that strike me about this is I do

love that Juran

klopp still sorted out this new team

that he still done what he promised

which was to leave the club in a healthy

state to leave the club in a good

position for whoever the next manager is

that comes in and for all the other

great achievements that jurgen's given

us we have to say this is one that the

man's lived up to as well you know he

promised us that he would leave the club

in a better place some when he found it

and I think we can safely say that the

man has lived up to his word on that one

some more quotes coming in

um I told the club the decision and then

my coaches uh now everybody knows it and

everybody believes me that I love the

club I don't take it lightly I am

convinced it is right so I guess the

question I for you guys

is why do you think the decision was

announced today because that's the what

for all the rest of it I can figure out

I absolutely can believe urgen klopp um

has run out of energy I believe that of

course it's understandable um Liverpool

are going to look to appoint the

sporting director that's more news

that's come out uh over the next few

weeks or months ahead of an appointment

of a manager that's another bit of news

that's come out from inside the club um

George smka will be leaving his role at

the end of The Campaign as well pep

Linder and the coaching team they're set

to depart at the end of the season but

look I can't be the only one who starts

to think

about Salah situation Trent situation

Virg situation hope that they're not as

shocked as the rest of us are orbe of

course they are if they've already found

out today I'm sure they're every bit as

surprised as you and I

but from fsg's perspective look I don't

think there's conspiracy theories I

don't think there's a Fallout I don't

think I I genuinely don't believe it's

anything like that I don't think it's to

do with the documentary I don't think

it's anything to do with transfer

budgets or anything I I really just feel

like Jurgen clubs earned the right for

us to take him a face value with what he

said the man has never willingly let us

wrong or mis uh misdirected us so I want

to give him that respect that he

deserves it's just the timing of it just

feels very very very unusual to

me uh someone said because we're not

playing I don't know what that means we

literally played Wednesday we're playing

playing again Sunday we're playing again

Wednesday we're playing again Sunday

after I it's not like we're in the

middle of an international Break um you

know why wasn't it last week we had the

11 days off when everybody was on a

break it could have been an easier time

to drop that news and then I guess deal

with it during a time where we had no

games I

mean it is going to be a

distraction there's no way to dress that

up it's going to take up every press

conference it's going to be every

interview with the the players

it's I I I just I find the timing very

odd from a PR

perspective um right more quotes from

urgen klopp he said the relief was there

when I made the decision that was

another thing I realized today it is

mixed H I'm not as emotional as I will

be when it's over I had to tell the

owners then the supporters and players

the players reaction was top really good

uh I'm here fully here I answer a

thousand questions if you want me too

but then it's until the end of the

season uh I'm fully in some talks last

days to tell uh people slightly earlier

uh some tears but that's normal after

such a long time it's the right thing to

do uh the club fails time to plan for

the future while we're in the present

klopp goes on to say the players didn't

have a lot of questions we have a really

strong bond we're professionals uh and

the agreement we have on both sides is

for one year uh a year at a time

basically Al it's a real agreement and

the boys see it like that they're in a

good mood so

look I do look look I love his honesty

by the way I love that he's not he knows

if he can't do it at 100% he can't do it

and I love that about him and I love

that he's he's asked himself those

questions you know um that makes him the

man he is to me if he can't do it 100%

he's not going to half ass he's not

going to phone it in that's just not the

way klopp is um he spoke about his

energy levels earlier on and you know

how it he is that life for the club he

is the energy he is sets the mood sets

the tempo sets the vibe and you know I

understand him when he said if he can't

commit to it if he can't give it a

100% uh a full energy he probably feels

like he'll do us a disservice although

we'd never feel that way obviously about

uran um I am

genuinely just a little bit taken back

though

because I guess selfishly and it is

selfishly you know I I thought we had

him till 2026 cuz we knew he was never

getting fired that was never going to

happen so it was always going to be

jurgen's decision when he decides to

call it a day and and we deserve to give

him that respect and respect his

decision um it's just the timing part

that's the part to keep going back

over uh jurer went on to say it's

different to other situations usually

when we say goodbye it's because a

manager has been sacked I have to uh

constantly always think about is it

still right because I said I won't be

manager uh I said won't be the manager

won't be an excuse we fight for

everything that's the good news and look

we are fighting for everything

and the time that he announce leaving we

know as we say here right now we're in a

cup final we're in a good position in

another domestic cup we're in the best

position we could be in the top of The

League table and we're in a good

position in Europe so who knows how we

end this season

but he deserves the big send off he

deserves the trophies he deserves the

fairy tale ending and I've no doubt that

the players the staff the coaches the

fans and everybody involved in the

football club are going to go out of the

way to make sure that he leaves on a big

note from a a very selfish Irish

perspective the idea of maybe looking at

it and

thinking his last game could be

in Dublin his last game could be

hopefully to see Liverpool lift another

European trophy

um complete the set pretty much Europa

League champions league hopefully

another Premier League H he would have

done it all if he can do that

and yeah I'm I'm genuinely

just I think we all feel like we're in

mourning a little bit here and that

people might think this is over reaction

from all of us but this is what the man

has been to us right he's been the one

constant in our footballing lives over

the last8 nine years he's been the

Messiah he's been the dream he's made us

dream he's made us believe along with

him and it was not an easy task when he

came to the football club to get us back

to where we are uh and that's about him

his energy his passion his Focus his

determination his Spirit you know

everything that makes us love the man

for good for bad we buted head with him

at times we've disagreed with him he's

called the fans out But ultimately it's

all that I love it's always been all

that I love from both sides and you know

watching the likes of John gibens from

the anfield rap speaking about him on

sky and watching former players and

everybody's the same thing you know even

see the fans being interviewed outside

anfield it's just a sense

of a a sense of loss at the moment you

know and thankfully uran's healthy and

safe and you know hopefully has 30 40 50

more years left on this planet but you

you know a big chapter of our life's

coming to a close as Liverpool fans and

I didn't live through Paisley or

shankley or uh any of the other

legendary managers outside of Kenny

dougle so this is this is yeah this

is It's sad that I can't hide it Lads it

is

sad uh Club speaking about a potential

successor this is what he had to say uh

why should why should I in football some

people you don't see uh often you live

this business and it looks like do all

the work and I don't and I can't what

we've built is an incredibly strong

structure it's one of the reasons I can

leave klopp said so many people work

here with the idea to find a perfect

solution for Liverpool last thing they

need is advice from an old man leaving

uh Billy Hogan then sted to speak Billy

Hogan is said probably to put into words

significant how significant this is uran

talked about leaving the club in a

better place than he found it in 2015 no

doubt he's done that as he said he'll be

here for months a prospective news is

sad and supporter share that it is sad

um yans thank you for your Super Chat

yans has come in and said sad day for

Liverpool yuran Klo has been fantastic

for you

um

look there

is there is life after uran as hard as

that seems to Fathom and think about now

you know we will immediately again turn

to thinking about a successor and I'm

sure you've seen Javy Alonzo's interview

or press conference today at

lusin

um if you're asking me for my reading of

that situation I feel

like people will focus on the things

that Alonzo did say but I think it's the

things he didn't say that certainly

caught my attention um and look he is

that I don't care what anybody else

thinks this is my opinion so I can can

only say what I feel but to me there is

only one name and that name is Alonzo

and he is the one right now in my

opinion he has the gravy task to be

Liverpool manager he will have the Buy

in from the fans he has a brand of

football that I think we will enjoy

playing um he's a young hungry coach so

I hope and I don't mean any disrespect

to Leverkusen because I know he is a lot

to play for this season with them but we

need to go after him it has has to be

him I know deserve his name will be

mentioned others will be mentioned it

has to be him for me he's the guy he's

the one um and it as much as nobody like

we spoke about replacing Salah right and

we've said nobody's going to come in to

replace Mo it's not possible nobody's

going to do Jurgen nobody's going to be

Jurgen nobody but all you can do I guess

is as Jurgen to have that structure in

place look to do the right things any

manager coming in whoever it might be is

going to inherit a great young team with

a lot of potential um a lot of

experience gained already and hopefully

a winning mentality so I want to see how

you guys feel about the next manager I

know it maybe feels dirty or wrong to

talk about it but we have to you know

the club have to get their ducks in a

row right now a sporting director has to

be appointed and then obviously a

structure put in place for who that new

manager is going to be H app Anda said

Craig Club puts the focus on him and

pressure off the players all oo drives

them for more of a final push for

historic season genius timing from all

um I've got to say mate I agree with a

lot of what you've written I I just

disagree on the timing of it I don't

feel it is genius timing at all U I

don't know if it's good or bad timing

actually you know we I guess the proof

of that is going to be over the next few

weeks um but it is going to take up a

lot

of column inches a lot of time a lot of

um question

questions uh shaan McLean thank you for

your super sticker uh lots of shouts in

the chat for Alonzo as well uh Brighton

manager said Mando look the Zerby I'm

sure you know you don't want to be

disrespectful here as well because

Alonzo's in a job theer's in the job so

a lot of the names been mentioned win a

job but um I'm glad that I'm not really

seeing Steven Gerard's name bandied

around anywhere because that would just

be foolish from the club and I I don't

expect them to be that naive silly at

this point of fsg's ownership so I don't

expect Gerard to be getting the phone

call anyway um for me look as I said it

is just one man it's Alonzo if you can't

get Alonzo desery but I I would have no

faith in a nagles man I'd have no faith

in a tle they're just not Liverpool

managers to me they don't have that

gravy Tas and

um I don't know I don't even know what

to expect now like are we going to get a

manager to come in for another 3 four

years does Liverpool Po's future change

now are we going to you know the modern

trait is managers don't stay around for

nine years managers don't do like what

Alex Ferguson did arson Wenger did so

what's the new Liverpool going to look

like as a club's

perspective uh some more stuff from

Billy

Hogan he

said first time we had a chat about it

decision from a pro and personal

standpoint I could see from my

perspective knowing him uh this was a

decision he was comfortable with and

believed in uh when your colleague and

friend comes to it I support it and I

respect it this is about everybody

seeing what happens outside but the

amount of pressure for 24 years now so I

was surprised in a sense but I

understood it a sad day but also credit

to uran he's come to the decision he

wants it will be H an orderly process to

replace him Billy Hogan goes on to say

the same process that brought us Jurgen

will be done now our ownership Mike

Gordon in particular will be part of

that process but I won't be uh it won't

be a running commentary we operate when

we're ready and talk about things we

won't get into the name game klopp went

on to say the summer was difficult now

that we had a lot of time um to put feet

on the table we worked to bring in the

right players when we got them it was

okay summer training prep outstanding

realizing how good this team can be gave

me joy I love each minute at this

moment uh David says leig manager look

for me it is just um it's just one guy

it is it's Javi Alonzo he is the guy he

is he's the name and I've made calls

today he's the name on everyone's list

I'm not saying he's the guy I'm not

telling you he's going to be the manager

but he's the name H and the pro as Billy

Hogan has said the process will start um

from what's being briefed it looks like

a sporting director will go to be

priority number one to put that in place

and then you know the conversations but

here's here's what I'm thinking so the

decision was told to the owners in the

summer absolutely respect that and

understand that but they've had from the

summer till now so you

know I'm also not naive so do I believe

that there hasn't been anything any

conversations yet behind the scenes

no because I don't think anybody would

be

that uh flippant with such a big

decision such a big business so I think

as soon as uran gave the club his

decision and obviously the club

respected it like they've always done

same way they've always respected if he

wanted a new deal that new deal would

always be putting the table for him so

right now it just feels

like I wonder if if those that short

list is already drawn up you would

imagine it would be right at this

point

but Alonzo so inexperienced he is and he

isn't Sam I

mean he's not a manager with the

experience of a clap or Mourinho or uh

unai emry or somebody

but he's got the right credentials for

me the right brand of football the right

football and brain and erned is right I

know he's only been at lers in a short

time but you know he was at Saia dad

earned the stripes came into l

has taken on the machine that is Bayern

Munich and so far so good for Leverkusen

in the league and I'll would just say

from a standing of attractiveness to

players coming in and uh to Liverpool

fans and I guess for that next

generation of

manager I feel like it's the right one

for me I just feel like Alonzo is is the

guy um I like the brand of football he

plays there are certainly good coaches

in the world at the minute and we'll see

some crazy names bandied about as well

but you know him and Zerby probably

going to be the two leading names uh for

me and but again this is about you guys

as well uh klopp said it was not my idea

when I signed a new deal at the time I

was convinced I would go until

2026 I misjudged that I thought my

energy was endless but it's not uh Klo

on H Enrique comments I saw he said it

was about FSG FSG has nothing to do with

it yeah by the way way another reason

why I think

that Jose Enrique needs to just piss off

honestly I seen his little cringy

interview uh that he gave with Sky where

again he's looking for sinister reasons

when he doesn't know like some things

even I you know I don't I don't turn

into anger and hatred I don't look for

scapegoat here I don't think there is a

scapegoat I don't think there's a big

bad bogey man in the background

I think what you're going have said is

is true and we owe him that belief so

again it's another reason I think again

why Jose Enrique can just [ __ ] off

honestly he's just a hanger on uh and

I'm glad cop mentioned that FSC has

nothing to do with it because even on

social media I see Linda puty who was

like you know saying they were

devastated you know when yuran Club told

them the news and um I I don't believe

do was a Fallout if I'm being honest I

don't I don't believe that side of it I

don't think that there's they've but a

head over transfer fees or the direction

of the club I honestly

think all right this comparison we're

about to make is a stretch but hear me

out I've said to you guys many times on

my streams

that you can't get half ARS Craig you

can't have the lunatic who's happy and

screaming and shouting without the angry

Craig and I've told you guys the same

sometimes if I'm flat I'm flat and I

can't lie I can't fake it

and the 1% of me that has that spark

like uran has I do believe him when he

says it's about the energy levels

because it takes a lot to be that leader

and you can see he is the leader of the

club the leader of the dressing room the

leader of all of us and he won't half

ass it and he won't phone it in and I

love him for his honesty on that

uh klopp continued with some more

comments said it would be easy in this

job to blame the owners and say FSG

should spend more uh was I always happy

with that no but they built two stands

the access center for me was the next 40

50 years we did it properly the

Liverpool way which I love that we

didn't win H Champions Leagues not down

to money klopp said we got 97 points in

94 points uh and didn't win the league

and didn't win more Champions League it

wasn't down to signing one player if you

want to blame anyone blame me having a

team that could do all that was

exceptional clap on his future plans no

club or country for a year no other

English Club ever I can promise that

we'll slow down with quotes now uh said

Connor to me and I'm just reading that

out like I'm Ron Burgundy who will read

anything on a teleprompter I'm Ron

Burgundy I'm not putting in the next bit

and devastated said Emma but respect the

club for making this huge decision and

if FSG even sniff anywhere near Mourinho

will lose my [ __ ] Carl said wish I had a

ticket for Liverpool's last home game I

can only imagine mate uh how much

they're going to start changing hands

for uh by the way

interestingly somebody commented on

social media build a statue or klopp

deserves a statue and we did notice that

Linda liked that post again not trying

to say that that's saying he's making a

statue but um there you go you know at

least they understand what we think of

them and how highly we regard

them klopp just wiped a tear from his

eyes to John power I think we've all

done that a bit today right and I know

I've

certainly I felt like all of you I'm

just in shock I did not expect to get up

today to that news um at all not like I

don't think anyone had a sniff it was

kept very very very very very

quiet even a few journalists and stuff

that I messages and conversations with

say nobody had a Scooby-Doo like nobody

uh Billy Hogan on potential successors

he said I want to set an expectation

first it's a process we will go through

and the way this club operates we will

ensure we've looked at all the info data

and done our proper due diligence and

then we'll make a decision and we'll

have an announcement I can't commit to a

timeline on it so based off what Billy

Hogan has said and you know reading

between the

lines seems like that there isn't a

successor that's ready to go next week

let's say we're not going to hear about

a name and I guess the process does

start now well I hope that they start

the top of that list and start looking

at the stats data information around

Alonzo

because I think with the style of

players we have with the club as well

it's important that we do bring in a

manager that would at least play into

those strengths of the players that are

at the club as well as of course putting

their own stamp on it over a bit of

time H and the summer clock Club fresh

and ready to go for another couple of

years what's change after a couple of

months is he

drained mate I can't give you that

answer and you

know I don't know the answer I don't

like I'm not going to sit here and

speculate as to I have to takee what

klopp says the face value because he's

earned that trust

um yeah that's I I I'm not going to look

for tinf foil hat moments or a finger of

blame here it's just it's a

disappointing day and we've got to

respect juran's decision you know what's

best for him and his family and it is an

all-encompassing gig man that runs you

down and ages people quickly and I guess

you get one life you have to spend time

with your family and you have to

recuperate you have to rest up and

maybe he needs another project in a year

or so down the line maybe some other job

will come that will put the fire back in

his belly whether that's the national

team with Germany or whether that's

another job in Europe who

knows uh quote from klopp no Club No

Country for the next year no English

Club ever said East

um yeah I I I I agree and I believe him

of course I believe him you know now

look I'm not going to hold him to the no

job for the next year part because well

look he said that when he left Dortmund

and he ended up at us in four months so

you never know you know but I do believe

him 100% that he will not be back

managing the club in England I

absolutely believe that because how

could he you know he where his Club he's

our manager and if he's managing in

England would only be at Liverpool

Football Club so I guess I'm just

grateful for the time we've had with

them I'm looking forward to the time we

still have with them but I'd be a liar

if I said I'm not here who I'm not here

when I'm not devastated today you

know and I've also been thinking about

what what life looks like moving forward

because one conversation we've not

really ever had to have over the last

nine years as Liverpool fans is is a

time for the manager to go you know we

all said last year okay it was a poor

poor year by Club standards but he's

earned the right to have that poor year

and let's see how this year goes and

this year's going very well so far so

yeah it's going to be strange because

you know whoever comes in whether it's

Alonzo or

anybody they're not going to get as much

wiggle room with fans as klopp because

you could see from the off what klopp

was building now that's been built now

now the club's in the point where we

need to continue to just challenge at

the top and win trophy

so

I'm not looking forward to those

conversations like let's say we did have

a couple of bad results it's never

been it's never been anything I've ever

done in anfield agenda where I've ever

considered the manager's job ever it's

you won't find the thumbnail you won't

find the title you won't find a video

where I talk about klopp going of all

the stuff people can label at me that's

not one of

them but what that look like next year

when new manager in the hot seat

how long do we give it before we get it

right it's weird it's just so many

questions uh for some reason I have this

feeling last week no idea why said just

a B I was unable to sleep last night

right my wife woke up a couple of

occasions and she just seen me awake

kind of staring at the ceiling and she

said to me it's that on your mind I said

no I don't know what's up I can't sleep

I don't know why there's nothing bugging

me there's nothing scaring me there's no

no Financial worries that I have on my

header at and

then today she comes into the room she

said the lads rang kops leaving

Liverpool you've got to go live and I

thought that's weird like that was my

first thought process was that weird

cuz I just had

this feeling but it wasn't about Club

leaving but I just had this

unease

uh what else we got in the chat have

Liverpool already got a manager lined up

can you see you're going to leave him

without a new manager being put in place

so I don't know I don't believe we have

a manager lined up I mean I think taking

Billy Hogan and what he said a face

value I do believe that the

process maybe the process has started a

little bit you know you would have to

say in any Walk of Life if you've got a

business and somebody your manager or

your CEO or somebody tells you they're

leaving you're gonna have to start the

wheels turning in your brain you're

gonna have to

start saying okay do we bring in

somebody now uh who's going to be so as

much as I believe Billy Hogan that the

process will be underway and they'll

leave no stone and turned and they'll do

all of their checks and I get all that

but I think there has to be a few names

that are certainly at the Forefront of

their

thoughts uh club's genuinely tired and I

wouldn't be surprised that VAR was the

final nail I

don't I don't think there is a scapegoat

in this I don't think there is one

reason either I think it's a whole host

of things

from the scrutiny of managing a club the

size of Liverpool for maybe the

direction football is gone and the

situation in the league and

the running up a hill trying to catch

Manchester City and there's probably a

lot of things his health his

family uh the intensity of the job and

also as I say so many times you can only

go back to the well so often your words

as a manager or as a a

motivator can only be said so many times

before everything starts to go a little

bit stale

so I just again just want to thank you

is the only thing that's gone through my

brain at a minute like thank you for

giving me and Us in my opinion the best

best years of my life watching

football uh

yeah I think we all probably feel that

way right maybe unless you're older and

you you're around for the the days and

the 70s and 80s but for me this is it

like he's he's the that

guy

uh super leag are they trying to bring

it back Lio nah that's not going to be

it because the fans can can the

supporters Union can veto that so it's

not

that um the odds are going shorter and

shorter here by the way on the next

managers people put money down and

that's all this is an indication of by

the way is how much money people are

putting down on it because that's what

makes the odds fluctuate Alonzo is now

into one to two so he's now into odds on

earlier on if you remember when this

news first broke and we looked at the

odds you were talking six to five on six

to five against for Alonzo now he's into

one to2 der Zerby 6 to1 linders 8 to1

anao and nagles 14 to one each uh Billy

Hogan on the back room staff leaving he

said pep and vtor want to get going in

their managerial careers we understood

that so it looks like those guys are

going to move on and look for managerial

jobs themselves um which again I

understood that had to be the next move

for linders anyway um and he can't be he

can't be that he can't be linders it

can't he's

not he's not that guy to come after

klopp I think it needs to be fresh I

don't think the idea of pro promoting

from within would work now so I do think

yeah go fresh

um is Pep linders leaving yes the back

room staff are going with uran at the

end of the season uh so is George schat

for those who hadn't heard that news

either he's going to be leaving and

we're going to look to put in the new

sporting

director what about hansy

flick

nah so to manage Liverpool you got to

have gravy Tas and that's what I keep

saying and a lot of the managers names

who've been mentioned like let's throw a

name out there that's lots of people are

put into the chat zidan well firstly he

doesn't speak English so I don't know

how he comes into motivates the player

straight away and it's not a right

cultural fit he's not the right type of

person to manage Liverpool Football Club

zidan will be a real Madrid France

Juventus somebody else perhaps but not

Liverpool nman I don't think he

has

done enough

lately uh to justify it I think his

stock has dropped a little bit in World

football if we look inwardly at the

Premier League you've got der Zerby

um you know I I don't want to see the

likes of GRA Potter's name linked either

that's

just it's looked as one name I can't get

past Alonzo it's Alonzo for me maybe

desery but Alonzo's the one if I had a

magic one now and I could wave it I'm

going to lusen to get Javi jabbi excuse

me uh sad news to hear Craig thank you

for covering this thank you for being

with us King it's uh you know it's it's

the day I've been dreading more so than

any player leaving you know I said this

over and over again klopp's the biggest

signing klopp's the most important

one

um and I I guess I have to turn the

conversation to Salah now to some extent

because what does this mean for Mo in

his own mind I mean what does this mean

for him and his

connection to the club is that going to

go a little bit because the manager of

course that helped along with his own

great work turn him into a

superstar if he's departing and Mo's got

one year to go are we going to see a

change or will the new manager come in

maybe and excite Mo or other players

into thinking yeah maybe you know let's

go again refresh new deal I don't know

but this is where your brain goes to in

these moments

don't be sad Craig it's over be happy

that it happened I do love that take

Matthew I'm certainly grateful it's

happened let me say that

um there's something very reassuring

about getting up every day talking to

you guys about football we have our

highs we'll have our lows but that

consistency of

manager it's been a truly heartwarming

thing you know it's been lovely to know

that no matter how bad things have

gotten that conversation in the chats

never come up about is it time for urgen

to leave

um so yes definitely thankful it's

happened 100% thankful we we've had

urgen uh some more stuff from kloy said

this summer was the first time I had a

team meeting and I realized I couldn't

lead it uh then the potential of the

team got better and I thought yes uh

that's it time to leave

and I love his honesty on that sincerely

I love that he is that's the end of the

press conference by the way press

conference is over now but that's the

measure of the man that's one of the

reasons I love this man is he's not

fooling himself or anyone he's honest

he's sincere he's humble enough to know

if he can't do it at 100% and that takes

a big big character and a big man and a

big personality to to admit that and

that's why he is a legend a great an

icon

um yeah I know people want conspiracy

theories and people

want people to point fingers at but I

genuinely think what he said is

true if we get jabbi

Alonzo sure what should be the standard

in the Prem I I don't know dude

cuz at this point on where we are as a

football club whoever the next manager

is we want to make sure we're still

Champions League every year we want to

make sure

we're as competitive as we can be in the

transfer market and I think as Liverpool

fans we've all had a little taste of

success it's been nice seeing that

League trophy was a beautiful thing um

and I hope that this

isn't the star of Liverpool sliding back

a little bit

um this is a big moment for the owners

this is a big moment for FSG Billy Hogan

and the rest of them to get this right

so the right to take their time the

right to look at every candidate

possible you know uh take on advice I

guess if needs be

and see what happens

next uh love you Liverpool of course

said Ben Peak um we're still in our

golden era look what klopp said about

the new team is absolutely spot on that

recruitment in the summer the players

that he's brought in whoever that next

manager is is going to be coming in to a

dressing room that they know they'll be

able to work with they know that they'll

they don't have a rebuilding job so a

lot of the times if a new manager comes

into a job they're coming in because

somebody before them has failed or

because

their signings haven't worked out and

you know the owners run the pressure

that's not going to be the case for

Liverpool's next manager they are going

to walk into a dressing room full

of exciting young hungry accomplished

players and yes they want to put their

own personal touch on it and yes they'll

add in their own take

but it's it's a job that anybody in

their right mind should be begging for

at this point yes you've got the

daunting t of coming in after uran but

it's a rarity you get to come into a

club in a good position as a as a

manager like that um and her next

manager whomever that may be is

definitely walking into a very very good

dressing

room what about the players that came

because of

klopp in what sense like I don't get

what you mean um these are all

professionals they understand that

football is an evolving thing that

changes and can move quickly just like

some of these guys maybe thought they

were settled at a particular Club until

Liverpool came in for them quickly and

then all of a sudden they're at

Liverpool or I think the players will

understand because of the sincerity at

which Ur and klopp would have delivered

the message to them same way delivered

it to us the same way delivered it to

the media you know it's sincerity and

honesty and I think they'll relate to

that and they'll understand it and I'm

sure that they'll go home and be as

confused or as sad as the rest of us but

he is right about having a good dressing

room and a good team and a good group

and that's the mark of the maners I keep

saying I love it I love that he's done

what he's

promised all you can ever do in life you

know is hold people to what they say and

he's done what he said as Billy Hogan

said 2015 when he arrived at the club he

said I want to leave the club in a

stronger position than when I arrived

and he's done it and he will do it so

what what can we say other than thank

you uran and you know let's enjoy these

last few months of Juran tricky

Reds uh Diego Simeone no Simeone is a

football terrorist in my head I cannot

go from watching urgen klopp football to

watching Diego Simone football I can't

do it I I couldn't no we need we need

somebody that's going to know how to get

the best out of these players and play

the style of football that let's be be

honest our players look forward you know

they're an attacking group so yeah no

not cholo Sim only thank

you uh we must stick together in these

times said Samuel yeah look

I'm I'm very sad today but I'm

also as as that gentleman said earlier

on in the chat I'm glad it's happened as

in the nine years with uran I'm glad

we've had them cuz look at what what's

happened in football in that time around

other clubs look how many managers have

come and gone for United or Chelsea or

you

know oh God man this is like I have a

12year old son and almost all of his

life so far jurgen's been at the H at

Liverpool and we've never had to have a

conversation of is it time to sack

somebody is it time to

um move on do we need to look at a new

coach it's just so many questions that

we've never had to ask before

so give me some names in the chat

realistic ones who you'd like to come in

or who you think will be the right fit

look we can talk about mad names like

Ana cogo but ultimately Z spur is newly

in there um and that's not going to

happen Des Zerby he said that he's Focus

are bright until the end of the season I

don't know if there's a hidden message

in that but be under No Illusion about

one

thing

I don't think that there's a manager out

there that this job will be offered to

that will turn it

down I can't see like can you and even

if you're an opposition Club fan right

now you got to say if this jobs offered

to a

manager they're not turning it down they

aren't nobody you you'd be mad to turn

down

what's available at the moment with this

group of players

uh feels like we've lost a friend today

said box will best wishes and many

thanks to klopp for all the good memory

thanks for being our therapy Craig we

need it I've just been exchanging

messages with like LFC USA you know

Brian saying how are you feeling it

feels like even Connor everyone's just

shocked because there was no inkling of

this you

know just out like

that

um jabbi is not approved takes Zan

that's just an idiot answer you know

nothing about Liverpool Football Club if

your answer is zadan and I mean that not

as a dig at you I'm just being

factual nothing about cedine zadan

strikes a core with Liverpool or

Liverpool's fans or the way Liverpool is

as a city he doesn't speak English He

it's just it's just culturally so so bad

of a fit it's just a silly answer and

it's an answer of somebody who obviously

I

think it's just a FIFA answer I'm sorry

it's just such if you knew anything

about our

club it's not going to be zadan

dude um Ruben amorim but want Alonzo so

David

Cornwell

uh I'm so glad that your was a red

um

we're going to lose an amazing manager

the league will have lost a

great uh Marco Rose definitely played on

the clap at Ms he's the one said

Sam uh jabby seems like the best option

to Jacko shaes keante he doesn't have a

club uh I have a lifetime of love for

club nah kante's

too kante is not that guy for us I don't

think K's

a a great manager to bring in to

stabilize a club

or to get you a league title or two in

the short term but again with what we

have at Liverpool he's not that guy you

know he's not going to work hand you

also have to think who's going to work

hand in hand and who's going to fit with

FSG and again zidan and Conte don't

strike me as the types of managers that

would interest um FSG in the way that

they

operate

there is a part of me that thinks I

wonder if Mourinho sitting around hoping

he gets a call I don't want him and I

don't think it's going to happen but I

can't help but think back to when we

appointed rafhael bonitz knowing that

Mourinho wanted the Liverpool job before

that Chelsea job um and he's out of work

right now he's not getting the job but I

wonder if he's going to put his name

forward for

it

only people I'd like it is Herb in

Alonzo said Dylan saw Alonzo's press

conference earlier he didn't exactly

rule himself out of the job and that's

exactly what I thought

mate I I'm the same as you dude I

thought he definitely didn't rule

himself out of the job did he now he

didn't rule himself into the job but he

did speak

about kind

of he said a lot without saying a lot if

you get me I I didn't feel he was ruling

himself out from what I've seen uh I got

to be honest I do I I definitely don't

feel like he's ruled himself

out what do you think of unai Emy I

think he's a great coach but he's also a

good club a club that will not let their

manager go

and a great coach nothing else to say on

right nothing but respect but had a good

club and a Forward Thinking Club as well

so you know know I think he's he's safe

there at Aston

Villa uh the Jona manager said scales

gamer so again ask yourself this do do

we see Manchester City and the City

Group wanting to allow a manager that's

at one of their clubs in Jona uh a club

that I look is on the up and up and is

doing great

things there's no way that's going to

happen I can't see that happening can

you see uh a city brand manager coming

in to manage Liverpool it just doesn't

doesn't makees sense to me maybe I'm

deluded I don't

know uh Thomas Tule nah not for me

because if we brought in Thomas tle it

just feels like we've got an inferior

version of what we had before that's how

I'd look at Tule coming in and

also I I I'm not overly fond of Thomas

tle really either I don't I've never

been able to take to the man

um you look at what's going on now at

Bayern Munich and some of his decisions

and situations there are very

strange um so Chris Williams writing on

Twitter said overriding feeling from

that press conference is the club have

already identified a replacement and

have been actively working on it uh

Hogan looked way way too relaxed for a

man who's got to now go out and find a

successor to the club's most popular

manager in modern

history I'm going to read that again

because I think that's from a journalist

who was there and he said the overriding

feeling from that press conference the

club have already identified a

replacement and have actively been

working on it Hogan looked way too relax

for a man who's got to now go out and

find a successor to the club's most

popular manager in modern history

I don't disagree with what Chris

Williams has said there I haven't

watched the press conference yet I've

only seen the quote because of course I

was live here with you guys and reading

out the quotes as they came in

but I I agree with Chris as much as none

of us have any information that we know

I do agree that would be my guess as

well uh speaking of tuul imagine he goes

to Liverpool and Club goes to buyer big

plot twist if that happens honestly I I

think there's more likelihood of klopp

taking the German job next

um obviously you're a German football

fan mate You' know better than me the

likelihood of Club managing Bayern I

don't know if he do that to the Dortmund

fans I truly don't but the German job

maybe after the Euros if Germany don't

do well maybe well look let me put it

this way I'd go as far as to say if clpp

said he wanted the Germany job it

doesn't matter who's in the job they're

getting the boo that's the and I look I

don't think klopp would ever want to get

anyone sacked but let me be honest about

it if you're the German fa and klopp

shows any indication or willingness that

he would be interested in that German

job then uh you're pretty much sharpish

moving on whoever's in the way let's be

frank seems mad but tho M my uh why not

he play with aggression like klopp um

look there's going to be some names that

maybe we don't initially think of off

the top of our heads but I I can't get

past Alonzo right now my own head that's

that's the guy for me CU he takes almost

every box there is a very

fair uh thought process about the

experience of Alonzo that's fair enough

you can't push back on that you know

he's he's got relatively short

experience but he does have a lot of

other things he has the connection with

the fans he does have the gravity task

and the pulling power and the stature in

World

football he handles himself really well

he's very smooth and

charismatic

so I would much rather take a risk on

him than another

young exciting hungry manager because

for me it's important to have the

connection

and Jurgen came in instantly and just

won everybody over with his humility

with his humor with his passion with his

energy and most importantly with his

football uh so yeah big shoes big shoes

and I'll take a brave person man or

woman most likely man but it'll take a

brave person to take the job as well

because whatever we say about the

positives and the squad and the stadium

and the training ground and all this

other stuff still a big big shoes to

fill and it's going to take a big

character to do

that Craig yes they gone to sleep but

never thought or believed if someone

told me the club would leave after the

season oh

Melvin again M I couldn't

have I would have given you a th to one

yesterday if you said to me Craig

klopp's going to leave tomorrow I'd have

given you a th to one odds and I laughed

at

you I didn't see you coming

uh Neil Jones reporting on Twitter said

I saw Jose Enrique who I like a lot say

it's about FSG I can tell you absolutely

FSG has nothing to do with it sorry if

you've already uh Connor said sorry if

you've already gone over that but again

I

I I've always told you guys and been

open about the fact I think Jose Enrique

is an arshole and is a hanger on and is

creepy in a kind of way um I'm not going

to say here and mince my words that's

what I think of him I I don't I don't

like him I'm very happy he's healthy and

well and I wish him a great life but to

see him on skyp talking about that

like if a YouTuber said that we'd be

skeptical and rightly

so I

don't I don't know why he did that

because for it to be pushed back upon so

quickly by journalists and Club it

almost feels like people are going out

of their way to make out like it isn't

about the owners um and I believe it I

believe it isn't I truly do because

whatever we all say about FSG and we all

have our own thoughts on them they have

always had that cordial respectful

relationship towards each other um

Jurgen and the ownership group even when

maybe Club wanted more money or wasn't

happy with the window you know and I I'm

not an FSG fan most of the time you guys

know that but I don't think this is

about them I I don't I don't get that

Vibe either I I think Enrique is just

trying

to force more relevancy again but I just

don't like the dude I just

don't uh I cried when Bobby left and I

cried today much love from the USA so

Christian thank you my man do you know

what may I'll be honest I haven't shared

any tears yet today because I haven't

had a chance to process it yet all I've

been in is in I guess work mode since

it's happened reaction mode trying to

get news opinions uh viewpoints and any

information that I

can uh Ben Michael deleted your message

I don't know what it was or whether it

was uh what it was about me but thanks

for the Super Chat anyway I don't know

what the message was

but I

guess whatever it was uh the mods deemed

it insensitive or something so I back my

mods as

always uh Craig don't know if you've

spoken about this but in 2019 klopp said

he quit if Liverpool owner to defoy in

the world

documentary and thank you for your Super

Chat skill gamer let me ask you

this cuz I think sometimes we as fans

can get a little

bit

uh

emotional put yourself in FSG shoes

right

now what's the upside of getting rid of

uran klopp to make a fly in the wall

documentary genuine question if you're

the what's the upside to it there isn't

one financially it wouldn't be the best

decision because what club can achieve

with a group would

have been worth more to

them it's just

yeah it's not that there's not upside to

it like

the you'd want to be an idiot for that

to be the for like Jurgen to come in and

go I don't want that documentary made

and them to go sorry urgen we're signing

it uh and he goes well I'm going to walk

and then you go okay we'll walk it's not

going to happen is it let's be honest

it's just not going to

happen and I think I I do remember what

what he said and I I remember

you know I I would say it almost

like it was an empty threat because we

all knew it wasn't going to happen that

you know it would be made against his

will and he'd walk U now look it is of

course weird timing that the

conversation came out last week or the

potential about but honestly nah FSG

would would rip up that contract for the

documentary and keep Jurgen if it was

down to that

decision uh it'll be so weird not seeing

klopp running off crazy on the sidelines

fighting for us next year it's not going

to hit me until the season's

over you know what gets me is that a lot

of people

who have been critical of Jurgen klopp

and his Antics and his impact and his

pressing of

referees are very been very revisionary

today and finally starting to understand

the magnitude of what he has done and

what he has achieved and what he has

brought to Liverpool and the league so I

see a lot of of journalists

today

um I don't want to say admitting what

klopp's done but acknowledging how

special his impact has been um which has

been nice to

see I get when you're in the heat of

battle you know we all hate each other's

managers and each other's players and

all this stuff but ultimately you see

the likes of Paul mer and other people

coming out it's a huge huge loss not

just for us of of course but for the

league um cuz klopp is you know klopp

Guardiola you're you know outside of

velotti then you're probably looking at

the best managers in the world being in

the Premier

League uh Lewis said hi Craig first time

being here wondered if you thought if a

manager like the Zerby or Alonzo are

able to fill the shoes of klopp they

haven't won a major trophy so it's a

fair point Lewis uh Lewis excuse me

and uh

I guess your mind immediately goes back

to the Brendan Rogers appointment but I

would say these guys are more polished

than Brendon Rogers was at that point

the club's in a better place um and I'm

going to be arrogant about this and say

Liverpool will have their pick of the

managers in the

world I I think that's fair to say that

because who's turning it down you know I

don't know anybody in a right mind who

turned down managing Liverpool Football

Club at this moment in time do you I

could imagine we're extremely attractive

proposition because like I said earlier

on it's very rare you get to come in and

follow a manager who hasn't [ __ ] to bed

usually you're coming in because a

manager's been terrible or assignments

haven't worked and results have been

awful and you're immediately coming in

to stop the rot rebuild confidence and

build the clubs back up that's not the

case with whoever takes over from uron

yes you've got big shoes to fill but

you're walking into a dressing room fill

full of brilliant players uh youthful

and

experienced who have muscle memory of

winning things and you know you can

never assume we'll win a trophy this

season but the odds are probably in our

favor that we'll win at least one and uh

that's attractive for anyone you know

it's not often it

happens uh ronic sha said why now

today's my 32nd birthday and here and

klopp going to leave just left me in

shock well happy birthday Rach first and

foremost my man uh but yeah it's it's a

shocking day all around mate isn't it

like a sad day

um I think I've gone through a few

emotions so far today from you know

bargaining as a trying to think well

will he change his mind if we win

trophies or is this really the end and

but then when you hear him speak with

honesty you think yeah it is the end um

and then I get into like anger of course

like everybody else about [ __ ] why now

why when we're looking to get back on

track and then you get into thinking

about the future and who it might

be Alonzo not the solution for the

long-term hilly from Madrid eventually

will he

though

like he has connections to m to

Liverpool to buyon I I agree with you on

all that

but one thing that I think you probably

get at Liverpool is a bit more stability

and certainly a bit more time than you

might get at a club like Real Madrid

maybe not a lot more because again

you're coming into a club that have been

challenging and that expectation will be

there to continue to challenge but you

know we've seen managers win League

titles with Real Madrid and get fired

because they didn't win the Champions

League

so

I think that Madrid job will be there

for him at any point in 10 15 years CU

as a manager his managerial career is

still very young and in its infancy so I

think he will have more opportunities at

big jobs again um if he takes Liverpool

one I wouldn't say that will rule him

out of ever managing a Madrid or a

Bayern uh Paul thank you mate as always

Paul from uh in gear Driving School said

I feel like I lost a family member my

wife hates football but loves Liverpool

because the klopp same as my wife my

wife was as glued to klopp's interview

on the TV as I was

um yeah just everyone just looking up

kind of listening to the sincerity come

from what juram was saying and you know

you see the people outside anfield as

well when Sky were there with the

cameras and foot the fans that they were

stopping on the street and chatting

to and I think it the ones they

interviewed encapsulated everything from

a respect right across the city of

Liverpool for klopp to a feeling like

one of our Mates is leaving to the end

of a dynasty you know every emotion was

summed

up are you scared for the future of

Liverpool I'm not

scared I'm anxious I'm

nervous

because the unknown and uncertainty is

always frightening in any Walk of Life

in any moment in life so I think we'll

probably feel a little bit better once

we know what the direction is the club

are going in

um and I can't say this enough but next

week is huge now next week is absolutely

massive the game's coming up against

Chelsea and

Arsenal because the narrative and the

view can change really quickly for a

couple of bad results here the blame

will immediately go to the decision

making the time with the announcement so

I think more than

ever we got to make sure we get results

in these games because that can't be the

conversation it's not no time to roll

over and give up now it's time to make

sure that nothing is left on the pitch

that everything is done to try and bring

success for this last year of uran club

and right now we're one of the few clubs

who can say it's on the table for us

still you know everything is in our own

hands one game for a cup final

um Premier League we're on top it's in

our own hands so let's wait and see what

the next few months brings but standards

won't be let drop in that dressing

room uh I personally think klopp's

leaving because of the owner of the club

I don't think so Yanik honestly I don't

um and I say this to somebody who's not

their bigest fan at

all but so I

don't how do I say this

sincerely I laugh I joke I talk crap I

banter people I wind them up I have

strong

opinions I get angry I can be

disrespectful all of these

things but I also know when to shut up

and when

to take things of face value from people

who deserve that and for me this is all

about respect today because I I value

nobody outside of my family more than

Juran and I haven't always agreed with

him I haven't agreed with a lot of his

decisions with regards to tactics and

changes and signings

but he

deserves he deserves us to believe what

he said he deserves us to believe his

reasoning he deserves us to

believe it was his decision and it was

his decision based off energy

and I think that's true and I want and I

think for me I have

to pair it back and you know be honest

about that he deserves

that uh the whole team need to put their

and souls into the rest of the

season um f said hi Craig I never

usually comment on anything align uh

here I have to that man has gone above

my wildest dreams in this and his time

with this club all the fans mocking us

for caring wish they were us you're damn

right F and um for somebody who doesn't

comment too much mate that's a powerful

wonderful comment and you're absolutely

right I see the [ __ ] and the idiots

in the chaff I see them coming in trying

to wind us up and banter us but they do

so from a position of fear and that is

the legacy of uran klopp that

is why we're back at the top table and

that is you know you don't do these

things you don't come in and mock like

that unless you're worried unless you're

fearful and and that's what club's done

for us so you let them say whatever they

want mate they as you've said they would

happily be in been in our position to

have had Juran and to have the the squad

urans built and thank you for your Super

Chat and for your comment

me uh what's

this so the atletic are saying Javy

Alonzo Roberto Derby and julan nman are

in the frame for the job again you know

early

days you would expect those names to be

mentioned and to be linked uh I wouldn't

read too much into that either you know

this is I guess the point where

journalists and all of us are just

trying

to put the picture together um but look

I F I agree with the names maybe narles

when I would you know I'd have my doubts

on but yeah rest of them exactly as we

all thought and

expected uh fun said klopp is my

childhood I turn 18 in May feels like

the end of a chapter in my life I love

him it's

it's you won't forget mate ever you know

whatever we think back at Liverpool

he's given us and I'm a 42y old man and

he's given me the best years of my life

supporting

Liverpool h heard some of the support

staff also announced Departures what do

you think of this do you think there's a

a couch with their or coach with their

own staff in mind so uh yes you are

right the support staff are leaving

don't know exactly all of them don't

know for instance what will happen with

atber or tafarel um or the goalkeeping

coaches I don't know there but pep

linders and and kravit and a few of the

others are leaving uh there was actually

a quote here from Billy Hogan let me

read it out to you uh where is

it bear with me one sec I want to make

sure I get you the right

quote where's that

one

um sorry I'm just trying to find the ray

quot from Billy Hogan cuz I don't want

to mince my words I get it

wrong where the [ __ ] is

it basically spoke about the fact that

um vtor M and linders and others will

want to move on and become managers

themselves and will have their own goals

and ambition to become managers uh oh

here it they said on the back room staff

leaving pep and vtor want to get going

in their managerial careers we

understood that

so that's probably why their departures

are going to be gone I don't think it's

like I don't I would look at it that

like kops left and everybody else has

just gone well that's it now there's

obviously a big bad reason why klopp

left we're all going with them I think

it's just the case of as you've said

Club may be looking it can bring in

their own guys new coaches maybe new um

philosophy of of how we play and they

want to change and do their own thing

so I think he's probably right and also

look linders is isn't that guy is he I

wouldn't be comfortable if Liverpool

made that decision for

him uh to be fair he deserved to go out

on his own terms but I think he had

another two years in him said mh10 I

think we all did m i mean I've got to be

honest I am

absolutely Gob smacked that he's not

going to see out his contract

because you know go back to the night he

signed it and when we did the stream it

felt like more than any signing of a

player

and I always imagine that that was it

because remember this would have been

the last season with klopp before he

signed the New Deal we would have been

saying goodbye to him at the end of this

summer which we are now doing so yeah to

have that

um to have that certainty with drawn

again understand it and respect klopp's

decision but certainly hits hard and

hits

different uh George kwin said got to say

as sad as I am glad to see go and I'm

glad he's leaving on a high rather than

now and how Wenger left Arsenal yeah I'm

with you on that

George it's right that it's on his terms

and it was his decision and you are

right man he's going out all guns

blazing which is good and he will only

ever be thought of in a fun positive

loving way there's no bad blood there's

no he he hung around too long yeah it's

a tough decision but it is his and as

you said he deserves

that do you think think Salah Trend van

djk would still

renew so I knew I was going to be asked

this question I'm going to answer it

honestly as I always do and please bear

in mind that as I answer this question

I'm answering it with guesswork because

I don't know the

answers but van djk I think he renews

Trent I think he renews Salah I don't

know I don't know what to think with

Salah

because I don't know if we look at this

as signal that maybe it's the right time

for him to end his time at Liverpool or

if he looks at it and

thinks he would mind two or three more

years with another manager with may be

another fresh thought

process all I will say on Sal I don't

think this

is a good thing for for the Salah

situation without knowing I'm my initial

instinct is to say he's the one of the

three that you've mentioned that I would

definitely feel the most

fear of

um no renewal yeah but that's just my

take and as I said it's just that it's

just trying to

guess what do you guys think on the

three renewals of ver of Van djk of

Trent and of uh Muhammad what do you

guys think

there uran deserves a statue interesting

you say that because Linda puty did um

like a comment on social media from

somebody who said just what you've said

there uh Salah doesn't renew the others

do in my opinion said Cody uh Trent will

be a one Club player future Liverpool

Captain said Malcolm Billington I agree

with you on that by the way

Malcolm um Trent stay Virgil go and

Salah go you really think Verge goes I

don't know man after being made Club

captain and with his standing in the

dressing room I always get the

impression that Verge is very settled at

Liverpool honestly I do maybe I'm wrong

but you know

I'm I'm kind of almost in no doubts The

Verge and Trend sign in my

head uh would he take jarard as manager

I tell you what I would do Lew

um fly out over to Saudi

Arabia find my way into Steven Gerard's

office find his passport and rip it up

and put it through a shredder and throw

it in the

bin so that he can't get over cuz

honestly my head would explode if

Stephen jard got the

job but I I don't believe the owners are

going to be that stupid because let's be

honest he does not deserve the job other

than the fact that his name is Steven

Gerard and he's a club Legend

that's that's be I I would lose my [ __ ]

if Steven Gerard got the job because it

would be the most

ludicrous stupid decision that they

would have made and they're not going to

make that decision they're not going to

be that

stupid uh why hasn't trans signed it

only has a year left well he's got a

little over a year left to be fair um

and look this was a situation that was

spoken about in the media quite a bit by

the journalist uh the club have every

intention of over the next couple of

months sitting down and getting those

deals sorted out for Trent and vers

before the summer and that's been widely

reported to be fair and again I don't I

don't think there's going to be a

problem there and if anything on the

back of the Yan Klo news today you'll

feel like the club will want to put out

a signal now and start to you know say

it is business as usual and we carry on

and you know signing Verge and Trent and

hopefully Mo to those new deals would

certainly give that signal to the fan

base and to the greater football world

that you know this isn't the breaking up

of Liverpool this is just unfortunately

Changing of the Guard moment with the

manager and look I'm not taking the job

but you know you you can beg me all you

want I'll be Alonzo's assistant fair

enough you know because Javi will need

um you'll need somebody with less hair

for the press conferences because let's

be honest there's too much beautiful

hair going home with Al

so we will need somebody there to kind

of I can be Alonzo's do you guys ever

watch Key and Peele so do you ever see

Luther um Barack Obama's um

anger uh translator I can be that for

Javi Alonzo if he wants I could be his

anger translator so I could say what

Javi really wants to

say um but that's as far as you get me

stop egging I'm not taking the job I'm

already under consideration for the

Irish job and that's that's obviously

What's Happening Here Jurgen is

obviously going to become the next

Republic of irand manager it's the only

thing that makes sense right

now is anchel available nope signed the

new deal at Real Madrid to 2026 if I'm

not

mistaken if City didn't exist we may

have four more titles than a vibrant

manager who wasn't burnt keeping up with

corruption I'm so proud but angry at

this

mostly so John I I'm sure over the

coming days and weeks mate I'm going to

get into that angle myself but today

today I'm being respectful of uran

because it's it's it's not a day and I'm

not accusing you of doing it John by the

way but yeah look I I'll have my say on

what impact I think that may have played

at some point because whil I don't

believe the owners are any part of the

reason why uran's gone

I

do I can see a world where yeah maybe

that that situation there has been one

that he just maybe just worn out

by uh this will be an easy out for

Guardiola now he's not going to have

klopp as a chenger from don't know I

mean what Guardiola does next not really

concerned about today at the minute to

be honest today it's about Jurgen and

um praising him and thanking him for

what he's done and

doing I still don't I can't believe I

still can't believe it's

real really I can't I cannot believe

it's

real

yeah I can't get my head around

this uh somewhere though do you know who

I am blaming on it and he's got no

reason but I [ __ ] Paul TIY you know I'm

I'm blaming him do you know what I get

here

pgmol any chance you could give us Paul

Tierney for klopp's last game please

very thank you cuz I I would pay good

money to see Jurgen Club really tell

Tierney last day of the

Season before he does his lap of honor

and his goodbyes to Liverpool fans I

would love to see him go through potery

for a short cut uh I would pay very good

money for that and I I would happily

contribute to was fine and I'm sure we

all would when he gets it because yeah

please just put Paul TIY in the middle

of not on Far don't hide the little we

weasel put him in the middle of the

pitch for the last game for uran

um yeah

I mean I'm sitting here now thinking

about zidan madarati you know those type

of uh

moments with the current Squad of

Liverpool best successor Club

hypothetically would be Andre Vish Bois

now would you stop would you get up get

up out of that Andre Vish Bois just

there's a name I haven't heard in a few

years uh Jurgen always said he would

honor his

contract I think he meant it though I

don't think he said

it I don't I don't feel like he's lied

to us I feel like he's genuinely had to

re-evaluate his energy levels and I

think he's been honest and I I think

he's

been honest about his own inability to

keep producing these energy and

this

uh this uran that we've come to know and

love and if he doesn't feel he can do it

justice he walks and have respect for

him rather than getting kicked or pushed

or half arsenate that's why we love him

because he's sincere and he's been

sincere in this and I think we have to

take that a face

value

uh Craig my electricity was out all day

so I've just found out the news in the

last hour or so absolutely devastated

after watching the interview I'm so glad

that jurer will always be a red

absolutely man

um I'm just wondering what we what what

we say goodbye with as in what the

trophies will be what the and like the

selfish part of me thinks you know the

idea of urgen signing off in Dublin with

the Europa

League in my home City and that being

his last game as Liverpool

manager um the selfish part of me would

love that to happen you know to see him

bow out in Dublin as well as look CU

he'll have his moment and anfield of

course he will but I'd love to see him

in Dublin the last competitive game for

Ur going to be to lift that trophy with

virge and um

complete the

set klopp versus teing in the box of

matx Craig love it to Jack out I know

where my money' be gone and it certainly

won't be on

Tierney uh will he quit managing all

together I don't think so um and to be

fair I don't think he's promised that

either he has said no Club no country no

job for a year he said no other English

job ever um and again all understandable

a year is a long time so if he takes a

year out spends time with his family

holidays

unwinds maybe he gets the bug again for

football wants to come back and manage

maybe the right job comes up for him

maybe International job at this point in

his life might be what he wants you know

not the daytoday hustle and bustle of

press conferences and you know being a

club manager maybe a bit more of

a bit more of a relaxed pace perhaps I

don't

know are we all agreeing Alonzo

replacing I think we we are I'd like

to right let me just get a poll real

quick and I don't want to put loads of

names in I'm just going to ask one one

second

okay right there we go simple question

should Alonzo be the next manager yes or

no I mean I don't want to throw it a

load of other names because this is the

one where my head and heart is um but

you know we all see football in

different ways and we all of like I I

can't sit here and ridicule anybody that

says he doesn't have enough experience

it's a fair question um but I don't know

if the perfect candidate exists you know

because we've always said if you went

into a factory and built a manager from

scratch You' probably come out looking

and acting very much like you're in

klopp uh which players do you think will

also go at the end of the season given

the news Well I feel mat tip's 100%

bye-bye Thiago 100% gone their

contractor up without klopp I don't see

Matthew getting extended

um still don't know what to think about

Mo honestly just don't have no idea what

way to feel think or have any

expectation of that

situation ker probably goes in the

summer um but that was nothing to do

with clop leaving um

it depends because like we also don't

know who the managers is and if the

manager comes in and feels like well

there's four players I think we can

replace or four players that I don't

think fit into the way I want to play

it's hard to even try to gauge who might

leave till we know what manager we're

getting and what the philosophy of

football is going to be and if the

players at the club are going to be able

to play the style of football but you

would imagine that these are all

decisions that the owners would make you

find somebody to complement the group

you

have uh Ed said so sad about this Craig

end of an era how about s for next

manager remember what I said about

Gerard in the

passport

uh I have a feeling Southgate would

be unavailable for

interview that's that's the right way

I'm saying

it um I'd probably stop watching

football if gett soate was the Liverpool

manager

um yeah I'd probably stop watching

Liverpool if I had to look at him and

his [ __ ] stupid waste coat and his

stupid philosophy on football and

his

head uh I think it's too early for Lonzo

Phil zidan what part of zidan and

Liverpool I don't get this suggestion of

zidan I don't get

it he's just not like he's not a

Liverpool manager he just

isn't that's before we even get into the

language barrier

or he's just nah it's just not he's not

a Liverpool manager he just is not that

guy he's never going to be zadan never

should be

zadan do I think klopp will ever come

back what do you mean by come back to

manage Liverpool again no come back to

the club as a guest for Stuff absolutely

um it'd be there for the unveiling of a

statue I'm

sure something about klopp leaving early

stinks to high heaven said gu

I get it look I understand how people

are confused looking for a reason behind

it looking maybe to find some one to

blame perhaps I don't know but I think

he's being

honest I think he's been I don't think

it's had to do with the owners I don't

think it's had to do with transfer

budgets I don't I think it is what the

man says it is that he is just unable to

fulfill the role to the level that he

knows he needs to with the energy

required

after nine years I I think it's fair and

honest

and extremely humble of uran to make

that realization

himself I wouldn't take anybody else

other than jabby said sir vinas um look

I'm not in the point where I wouldn't

say I wouldn't take anybody but jabby

Alonzo

but you know I do think it's Alonzo

desery big drop off some other

candidates for

me um but

look put it this

way FSG got it right when they named

Jurgen

klopp now we get to see if it was a

fluke or if they know what they're

at so let's wait and see what they do

you know they gave us Club they got that

right the rest is

history whatever the thought process and

decision making was

I would

imagine they won't be too far wrong with

it um and as I've said from the start of

this stream it is a very appealing job

and a very unusual circumstance for a

new manager that you're not coming into

a failing dressing room or a dressing

room that's uh full of disharmony or

anger or you're coming into a a club in

a great

spot probably after winning some

trophies with a great dressing room a

great group of players uh a biggest

capacity that anfield has ever been at a

new training ground you know there's a

lot there

to to take the boxes if you're in you're

a manager who wants a dream job if you

get off with Liverpool I I don't think

anybody is saying

no do you think the new manager will be

announced before the end of the season

at least United and Chelsea have tested

all the rubbish ones that we've gone for

said Bradley fricker um yes I do I think

it gets announced I don't know when I I

don't even want to try and guess a time

frame frame on it but yes before the

summer I

think I don't know how it gets broke

announced or leaked but yeah I do I look

I agree with this comment uh where was

it from journalist where was this

one one

second where the hell is that comment

gone

sorry I'm just reading through a few

things

here where was that one

gone uh where's Chris Bam's comment or

Chris Williams comment where the hell is

it

gone so many quotes here sorry I'm

trying to read back through all the

messages The Lads have sent

me

I don't know why they've disappeared

but where's the one on

there basically there was comments from

a couple of the journalists who were at

the pressor saying things like Billy

Hogan was way too relaxed for uh

somebody who is going to have to replace

a once in the generation

manager and I feel like that's probably

correct

Chris Williams said overriding feeling

from that press conference is the club

have already identified a replacement

and have been actively working on it

Hogan looked way too relaxed for a man

who's now got to go out and find a

successor to the club's most popular

manager and recent

history H jar Norton said lifelong

Arsenal fan went through this with

Wenger losing a generational manager is

really tough but the pool will be

fine yeah I mean I guess jar the

difference from the this perspective is

Ward did hang around too long right he

just did

um and I'm glad it hasn't happened that

way for klopp because it would be very

strange to see here and I don't know

I've often asked myself the question J

what would it take for me to say I want

Club gone and I never came up with the

answer and I'm just glad now I never

have to come up with the answer because

he's made that difficult decision for

everyone

um but I do agree we'll be fine j i I

agree with you on that mate and thank

you by the way for your comment your

Super Chat and your input uh bam said

murky thank you very much said so

devastated at least I hope jaby come

along and bring in one or two players

from lusen but nobody can replace klopp

I think he'll be

fine so I I'm going to be honest with

you if Alonzo came in and brought in a

few players from levero and

Whit depending on who they are I think

i' be a bit nervous because I I don't

want the 10 hag situation you know where

you're going to just get players you've

worked with before but if he arrives

with floran verts as an

example that that'll do

um but yeah it's God L it's scary times

uh the job's more attractive would ffp

impose said John

Williams

um another one from another is that a

different John Williams it is weirdly

enough h a sad day for Liverpool fans

and myself being a Liverpool fan I feel

there's more to this than we're being

told so to some extent yes I agree but I

don't think there is a Smoking Gun let's

say but I do

think so the the question I haven't been

able to answer yet is why today why why

the announcement today why not during

the time we had 11 days off why not

after the Arsenal game in Chelsea next

week

and all I can think of and it is 100% a

guess is that maybe there was win that

this was going to get leaked and they

had to get out ahead of it but even as I

said I'm

guessing uh murky said more precisely I

don't care who comes in I'm just

sad um I'm worried about the choice of

words running out of energy hope

everything is okay well he has confirmed

mate that he healthwise he is okay he

did confirm there's nothing wrong with

him so you know I understand exactly why

you're concerned for that but you know

thankfully he's healthy you know and it

it doesn't look like that like that

thankfully uh as a United fan I love

klopp and what he left behind Liverpool

I think he'll be fine said Peter thank

you Peter for your uh kindness towards

kloppo and for your your comment mate

appreciate you um thank you for your

Super Chat

Billy Hogan even said jurgen's video was

recorded last night that sounds

impromptu

huh yeah I I wonder like I don't know

maybe maybe it was going to be leaked or

I don't know maybe this was the planet I

really don't know why today

but I can't help but feel the timing

isn't right you know maybe I'm being

selfish but I can't I do you know I

don't know why

today uh this is what happens when you

don't back the manager that's not true

though Robert because there's no

indication from anyone

journalists anybody behind the scenes

nothing to suggest that it's having to

do with the owners and the money I I

truly believe him on that and as you

know mate I'm not fond of FSG for a lot

of reasons but I I don't think it is

down to that I

don't cuz remember he's just got backed

quite a bit in the summer you know we've

went out there brought in saslo brought

in Grafenberg brought in Endo brought in

mallister before that Darwin he's had

money recently so he got to rebuild the

team so I I don't think if he hadn't

done it last

summer maybe then I would have felt yeah

but not now I I three I think he's being

honest

uh conspiracy time they told the players

in the summer hendo left and was going

to Spill the Beans get after getting

pissed

off

uh I don't think that's the case

um yeah no I don't I don't think it

would have been kept that quiet if the

players knew in the summer H Jen thank

you for gifting a membership my friend

appreciate

you

um I prefer to hear from urgan now than

hear from a leak in a couple of weeks

absolutely it's on his terms and he's

earned that so that's a that's a

brilliant post and I agree with you it

is it's done on his terms in his words

and that's

deserved uh whatever way you C it we're

in for a whirlwind next year or two I

can see Roy Hudson type year coming in

oh no man don't be gone that

negative um we're I get you on the

Whirlwind part absolutely it's going to

be a lot of unknowns over the last uh

over the next year or so

but I I can't help but feel whoever

comes in and they will have to be

qualified for the job you we've got a

good group good group of players there

that will go along way so I don't think

we'll ever see a return to the Roy

Hudson days but who knows what next year

or next manager is going to look like

and how competitive we'll be I guess the

proof of the pudding will be in the

eatting on that

one Jen said how do you replace

uran I guess we're going to find out Jen

but it's not an enviable task for

somebody to to to fill those shoes or to

find somebody to fill those shoes

because I don't know how you get

measured or what the expect ancy is or

you know what the tolerance is

because we'll all be angry at CL for a

day over a result or a decision but

ultimately nobody ever there was a

couple of really foolish people who were

like clop out but most of us were

like you know he has enough credit in

the bank for last year for that season

he's earned the right for that uh so

yeah tough one H Rachel thank you for

gifting a membership as well let's have

a look at the poll where we said should

you have Alonzo jabbi Alonzo excuse me

be the next manager uh so far we're

almost at 1700 votes and it's

86% say yes Javi Alonzo should jabi

excuse me Alonzo should be the next

Liverpool

manager I would love jabby or an

personally

so if I gave you a three list I going to

give you three names varying in in lot

of ways Alonzo I've discussed

deserie I think has the credentials

because what he achieved at clubs

probably not at the highest level of

clubs he's been at but his consistency

of progression is impressive and his

brand of football's nice on the eye I

think POA kogu was probably unrealistic

because he's only at Spurs a wet day um

and as much as he's a Liverpool fan self

profess you know he's signed on for a

project and has a job but you know I

like those three names for different

reasons but I still keep going back to

Alonzo uh Craig we're forgetting these

players without Club may look very

different that's the biggest

worry uh yeah look I can't sit here why

hammer and say it's all going to be all

right but I also can't hear sit here and

say it's all going to fall

apart it's uncertain times and

uncertainty is

scary Ted lasso would be nice lacks The

Experience though yeah but he's good in

front of the camera mooki you know he's

he's got the

um he's got that experience hasn't he Mr

lasso might be crazy said Chris taton

thank you Chris for your super chat it

might be crazy Craig but do you think

Stevie G as an assistant to

uh stano uh alanso

no I don't want Stephen jarard anywhere

near Liverpool Football club's

managerial setup at all because all that

would happen is if JRA came in as part

of a recruitment or as part of a

recruitment system and jera came in

let's say is a number two to somebody if

the number one doesn't work immediately

everyone's going to go well get rid of

him and give Jared a run get rid of him

and that's not going to work it just so

not not for me again the other guy don't

know but I don't want Gerard anywhere

near the Reigns of the club at this time

he has a lot left to prove before he

gets anywhere near getting the Liverpool

job we can't fall into that trap of

Chelsea have with Lampard or that United

did with o Gunner solart no we can't be

that club we we need to learn from other

people's mistakes

there zidan is surely a showout no zadan

is ridiculous it's

just somebody anyone who says zadan to

me in my opinion is basically saying I

don't understand what Liverpool's

about because to manage Liverpool it's

got to be more than just be a good

manager you've got to buy you've got to

understand what makes the city tick what

makes the club what it is the values of

the club the people of the city and a

non-english-speaking

former Real Madrid manager

who has no Affinity

[Music]

or connection it it would just be so

wrong on every

level and again can't say this clearly

enough doesn't speak

English uh big said as I begin to come

to terms with the facts I'd be excited

about the future if we got

Alonzo Alonzo feels like a risk worth

taken to me like it's a risk it is

absolutely a risk cuz he doesn't have

the experience you know if you have a

managerial checklist

for

um everyone you know he takes a lot of

the boxes but he doesn't have the

experience tell me about Thomas tle uh

you not see my comment I am seeing your

comment but I'm also seeing the 150

other comments so you know I don't read

every single one because I don't have

the time to But to answer your question

on Thomas tle it would just feel to me

like we've got a [ __ ] a version of the

manager we

had uh without the

Charisma so no thank you to Thomas tle

I've never never been a fan of Thomas

Tule um yeah no not again doesn't strike

is a very Liverpool type

manager uh the new manager needs a

connection with the fans I think jabbi

as a former player with uh or an's

personality are the only two for me

again both for me will be a good fit on

every level you know both lacking

experience at top clubs in Europe at the

top level

but two personalities that would be a

good fit for the city and the the club I

feel Alonzo has the gravy Tas the

pulling power the

uh useful energy for the job as well and

certainly the credentials for style of

football that he's delivering at

Leverkusen deser is another good show I

can

absolutely see a world where that

happens and be okay with it um in my

mind if I'm being really honest I've

always kind of thought the Zerby was the

next Manchester City manager and waiting

but who

knows tell Frank thoughts really good

guy like him a lot just

not not what we need you know not what

we

need he's had a good club that fits him

H and he's a really likable guy but no

excuse me not for

us Andre's even more impr proven than

Alonzo that's not

true

you can say he's more unproven in Europe

but his CV speaks for itself and the

jobs he's had to get him to where he is

now and the style of football he's

played whether it be in Australia Japan

up in Scotland and now with Spurs so

he's more experienced but neither have

the top top level experience really

yet the irony by the way if let's paint

this picture for a

second it isn't announced let's say in I

don't know 6 8 weeks time let's just

humor me it's announced that Alonzo gets

the

job and the champion or the Europa

League final in Dublin is klopp versus

Alonzo I can see a world where that

happens I don't think it's too far out

of the Realms of possibility to uh

consider that as an option uh that it

might happen because Leverkusen are you

know a very good team and you know if we

ke are kept apart in the draw you never

know someone said Jai to teach Mo had to

take penalties Marty don't forget he

missed the penalty now he got the

rebound and scored but he missed the

penalty in istan buul in the in the

game uh I can't look past Alonzo we need

somebody who has his passion said Lisa

kin said Alonzo will absolutely give his

all to win that final as you would want

them to you

know yeah like you wouldn't expect

Alonzo not to put his team out there to

try and win it even if he was the

Liverpool manager in weitting you know

he's a

professional if Alonzo works out he

could be at the club for at least 15

years I I don't know

but look he's the he's the one for me I

don't have another name you know it's a

very distant second after

Alonzo where can we find a charismatic

Underdog manager that's won titles and

knows how to build squads and wants to

win

championships don't make me bring up my

FIFA streams again mate because I feel

like you're just describing me now

um let's wait and see what the club have

done I mean I agree with the journalists

who just say that it feels like there's

a process underway already and that

they've probably got a list of names and

they're

probably again if they found out in the

summer the owners I find it hard to

believe that there hasn't been work

going on in the background since to

identify the right profile or what what

they will ask for or look for in a new

manager even if it isn't getting to the

nitty-gritty of names yet I'm sure

they'll certainly spell out the

attributes

or you know what's required for the job

uh with you on that one Craig said Rock

the back room staff are also gone it

tells me something is lined up a few

months

time well not unusual for backro staffs

to go um sometimes they hang around and

then the new manager comes in looks

around makes a decision on one two or

three of them and then moves on but at

this time

you know Billy Hogan I said a couple of

them will want to go and you know carve

their own managerial careers out and

others I I look the goke keeping stuff

is interesting to me what happens with

arberg what happens with

tafarel that I haven't unless I've

missed it I don't think those names have

been mentioned

yet

uh uh oh gang M thank you for being a

member for four months Brighton's the

Zerby oh he should absolutely be under

consideration

even theer in his press conference today

when he was kind of asked about it said

and I'm

paraphrasing um he has a job with

Brighton till the end of the season or

his Focus was with Brighton till the end

of the campaign nobody looks like

they're ruling themselves out with this

to me you know Alonzo said he's got a

job focus on lusen blah blah blah end of

the season but again I don't see who

turns this job down if you

were if your phone r

and Billy Hogan or FSG on the end of it

and they want to talk to you about the

Liverpool job I mean I don't see who

says no to

that you know it's a it's it's a Once in

a-lifetime job especially the strength

of where the club is at as

well thoughts on Emory again great

manager but Villa are a very wealthy

Club behind the scenes with a project

and

um I think emry is going to want to see

a bit more time out there with Aston

Villa Alonzo and Milner o o Lee I could

get behind that mate I could get behind

that yeah oh I could get behind that yes

I

could Hy

flick I don't know I'm unsure on hansy

flick to be honest with you um and nlman

and tul I I don't know if it's just like

we've had the best German don't want

another German yet you know that kind of

way but they're not doing it for me it's

not appealing to me

um yeah not for me I feel

like I don't know look we've all got to

just wait and see but ultimately what we

know is that at the end of the season

uran's leaving what's

this uh got a a quick St in thank you

Mark most Liverpool appearances under

urgen klopp Allison Becker with uh 192

appearances then Joel matp 150 Virgil

Van djk 180 Robo

203 uh what's this for Trent

216 Genie waldum 179 hamz Milner 222

appearances uh Jordan hrit 219 s mané

196 Muhammad Salah 238 but the most

appear es is Mr Bobby firmino with

250 Liverpool appearances under Jurgen

klopp who Alonzo's number two in Germany

said Colin blackshaw H don't know sorry

Colin um I I don't know I'm being honest

I don't know the answer to

that uh why don't FSG get pep linders to

take over the first team pep linders

knows this team inside out I don't

understand FSG Alonzo needs time because

I think what Billy Hogan said uh sah was

that uh vtor and um linders want to

start their own managerial careers

and I don't think linders has the

gravitas or the pulling power to be

Liverpool manager I really don't I think

he's a great coach and I think I'm

interested to see how his own manager

career goes but yeah I don't see it look

I'm going to go ladies and gentlemen

because I'm going to be back on a half

past day uh it's my day off tomorrow so
