Jurgen Klopp is about as perfect a fit as you will get as Liverpool Boss. Iโd change every single player before him when it comes to thoughts on him leaving.
He is one of the best modern-day managers in world football - and right for the city, people and club.

Of course Liverpool will find another manager, maybe even more successful, who knows, but they won't find someone who fits like this fella.

On winning the final of the Wirral Int.Tournament in 1989 Boris Becker donated his prize money of ยฃ25,000 to the Hillsborough Disaster Fund. Though he was reluctant to speak about it, many people in Liverpool were overwhelmed by the generous donation.

1st game after the Hillsboro disaster in 1989. 24 years ago (where's that gone?) Any Red knows his stuff will know that we will always respect

They can boo him, he can disrespect us, he's nuts and may have left 7 years ago but... what an absolute footballer Luis Suarez was. Forgetting the madness, remembering the football genius. One of the greatest I've ever seen in a red jersey.

The Hillsborough Memorial Match at Celtic Park. Celtic Vs Liverpool, April 1989. Liverpool's first game after the disaster when Celtic held out the hand of friendship, and two young fans epitomise the way the whole day went. Superb from Celtic.

Mr. Bill Shankly. The man that put Liverpool Football Club on the map. Everything the club has won in the past 60 odd years leads straight back to Liverpool's own "messiah", who left us

So... it took 34 years to admit that Police shortcomings were to blame for the killing of 97 mainly young people. The apology comes knowing any chance of legal action has now gone, so no Police - at any level - will ever be answerable. Here we are. England. 2023.

When George Formby toured South Africa in 1946 he insisted on playing to black audiences. When he embraced a black member of his audience at a show, future Prime Minister Daniel Malan personally complained to Formby.
Formby & his wife Beryl said 'Piss off, you horrible man.'
Please Retweetโฆ Through managed decline and days of being skint and unemployed this small gang of kids found a new way of earning money at the football - it is only now that their tale can be told.

They should've put 3,000 young Mad-Reds in that new stand above the away end. They'd drown out away fans every week & get the crowd bouncing. It'd be like making a business decision for the owners. That is what is lacking at Anfield - young people. Won't happen though.
