Wow! Tell us what you think of the news in the comments 👇
I was up at 0530 and it was the first news I saw…good for him…it can’t be all high level competition forever. That is something that takes a toll.
Congrats to Klopp and enjoy your familia sir🫡
Read in The Raven this morning. Good for him. He had priorities set for Liverpool on arrival. Knows his priorities going forward.
That last snippet !! You got me teary eyed, you beady-eyed Evertonian Rog. :/
I just can't... All good things must come to an end.
🤯*Speechless
all I want is to hear John Oliver discuss this
I want to hear that John Oliver is going to become a monk and take a permanent vow of silence.
@@jaysmith2858That's cruel. Give the devil his due. He's not a Red devil at least.
Yes! I second this idea. YNWA
Yeesss
Com’on John, YNWA
In a world that is sadly lacking in leaders that have humanity at their core, this is a loss for more than Liverpool and football. Thanks Kloppo for everything. YNWA
As an Everton supporter, I am a bit perplexed by my feelings on this. It feels like my neighbor just came over to tell me that his dog that I loved to play with has "gone upstate to live on a farm." It wasn't my dog, but the future seems a bit less bright without the prospect of seeing him bouncing in his backyard, waiting to, once again, destroy my hopes of seeing a derby win before one of my woefully mistreated internal organs finally decides to "move upstate to live on a farm," taking me along with it.
A superb summary of Klopp's time at Liverpool given by an Evertonian. Huge respect to you for everything you've just said.
"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." --Dr. Seuss
And damn that bright white smile it beautiful
You have to be the soundest Evertonian I've come across since my Grandad. Honestly thank you for your kind words and respect for Jurgen. He's not just a world-class manager. He's a great leader and humanitarian and he’ll be a loss for our city.
Thank you for getting and understanding what Jurgen means to Liverpool. Your words are appreciated 👍🏼
Klopp, You'll never walk alone
I saw the news in bed this morning at 6.30 am... been through all the emotions, shock, anger, sadness, confusion, question, disarray, more shock... I fought tears until you start talking about his hug. I couldnt hold back anymore. Because it made me realize that he has transformed not just players but even spectators, one hug at a time. We were languishing in hopelessness for decades. He came and made it FUN to watch our team play. Even though the hard times, like last season, we stuck together and looked forward for a rebuild, because we believed. Now am filled with gratitude, and the feeling of being honored and privileged to have him on our side for 9 years. He will forever be our beloved and deeply revered "Normal One". YNWA.
Well said Rob!
I'd held my emotions all morning so far but this has just broken me, Rog. Beautiful tribute. ❤
Thank you and sorry for your loss
What a great tribute from an Everton supporter no less. That's what Klopp does to everyone. Make you feel Human. You will be sorely missed, Boss Man. Boom
Jurgen brought us out of mediocrity and reminded us what it means to be a Red. His legacy will surely last. Very much hoping for that statue so I can get a Klopp hug one day. Thanks for these words, Rog! Courage!
The happiness Liverpool fans had over the last decade is what most fans would kill for. Cheers!
This was by far the best Klopp video of the day regarding his Liverpool departure.
I have no idea who you are and what you do in life, but interviewing such high-profile people tells me you're doing great 👍
Job well done, sir.
He's a great man and a great peer to his fellow peers in the game. Show empathy for fellow managers and players who were sacked or under pressure. Open about looking up and showing Alex.F respect and love is something very special. He changed the way the game is played, unlike the olden days when managers trash talk and play mind games. He is an incredible human being.
Rog, I want to thank you for this and thank you for really understanding what Klopp meant to Liverpool FC and what kind of person he is outside of football. It would be easy from a rival supporter prospective to react much differently and I just really appreciate the honesty here. You've shown it before but you're an A+ human being in a time where that's rare. I appreciate you and f***ing hell I'm going to miss Klopp.
Never seen this channel, but what a wonderful speaker this guy is, spoke better than most LFC podcasts about Klopp.
You just gave a most beautiful tribute to Mr Klopp. Even though you’re a self professed Everton fan you spoke about Liverpool FC with a great deal of love. Thanks for being a voice when us LFC fans need to hear one. YNWA.
His such a good manager, he even knows when to substitute himself before he gets burn out.. it’s time for him to manage himself and live his best life wile he still has energy.. I would like to thank klopp for everything his done for the club. We need make him a statue as he is definitely one of the best managers lfc has ever had, and he has left the club in a great position, the club has a style of play, a identity and it’s been back on the map since klopp took over..
Klopp Will Never Walk Alone
There are just a few outstanding humans on this planet, the fact that one of them became a fantastic manager for LFC is a blessing. He's an absolute legend. Thanks for everything Jurgen.
"Giant Teutonic Care Bear" Now that's poetry
Just great😊
I’ve personally had a really difficult few years - I feel crazy saying this - but Jurgen became almost like a father figure. I had no idea how attached I was to him until today. Yes, there have been tears. Thanks Rog - for always knowing how to put into words what so many of us are feeling. YNWA
A hug statue would be a beautiful way to commemorate a drama-filled tenure at such a historic club. Imagine proposing the idea of a hugging manager statue pre-klopp haha. Hope he continues to have a great career and future, he seems like one of the most genuine men in football.
Roy Hodgson just heard his “running out of energy” comment and almost dropped his Red Bull in surprise 😲
As a Palace fan I was waiting for this comment 😂😂😂
Big difference in energy levels required being a good mid table manager like Roy and someone operating at the pinnacle of the game with the hopes of a city resting on his shoulders.
The big hugs, the big smile, and the even bigger celebrations.
He will be massively missed !
What a lovely tribute! The best I've heard all day. The news was devastating and your reflection is poetic and from the heart. 😢Thank you 🙏🏾
I quite lke your idea of a Klopp statue that you can take a hug with.
As do I.
Thanks for your kind words Rog, and coming from a Toffee it means a lot. Yes, I was left numb, speechless, felt like a loved one had passed away 😢 when i heard the news, and when you said those devastating words, at 12:05, Nothing Last Forever, it made me realize that we have to cherish every single moment with our loved ones. KLOPP YOU WILL BE FOREVER A RED❤ YNWA❤
A liverpool fan here absolutely gutted at the news.. the effect of those hugs can't be underestimated ..we'll never see the likes of klopp again.Thanks for your fantastic tribute..excellent 👏 🙌
Since Shankly we've idolised great managers at Liverpool, maybe more than is healthy sometimes. I'm in my early 50s now and may never see another Klopp-type figure in the job again, given the demands of modern football.
Thank you Rog ❤
Shock, grief, gratitude…
And how lucky to have been alive to see this man in his prime and how much he loves this club. YNWA
Thank you for this video. As a Liverpool fan, I'm devastated. I couldn't sleep well last night. He's more important to the club than any player, including Salah. You get how Liverpool fans are feeling even though you're an Evertonian. Respect.
Klopp did more than bring greatness back to Liverpool. But he made us all believe again. Not just in our club but in ourselves and to believe in each other. YNWA
This is such a great loss for football. Klopp is such a likable leader, he was often head to head with Pep, this man had done so many things for the club and for football in general. You will be sorely missed. Always a Liverpool at heart...
as Jürgen said during the press-conference: the best memories are still to come. Let the man have a choice, and respect him for it even more.
Lovely words Rog. 😢 Amazing bloke and amazing human reaction - wonderful video. Thanks mate. YNWA
Cheers thank you!
Thank you for your amazing response, and words to describe Klopp. They are spot on. You are a credit to content creators and to Everton fans. YNWA brother
This is a solid recounting of a great man and what he meant to the people around him. I know a lot of fancasts are still caught up in their own emotions, but there was a lot of sensible and sentimental moments shared in equal measures. The philosophy of Klopp on how to manage life is perhaps his greatest legacy, the quality of his football teams were an added bonus. YNWA.
Roger you have an absolute gift, well done!! Such an absolute tribute to a fkn beautiful man.
Out of NOWHERE. God not only with Liverpool be missing him, I think the football world will as well.
It's not nowhere really... He's done about 7 year stints in the past and after last season's struggle I worried
YES- He IS empathetic. It is totally evident his greatest talent is his emotional intelligence. You are right, Rog, that it is an ever more rare currency in life and business. So much so, that society is crumbling under the weight of this battle between inhumane and cruel capitol accumulation and fairness and the beating, bleeding heart of our humanity. It is why I find 'The Special One' so offensive, and 'The Normal One' so deeply compelling...
I am so in agreement with you, and I couldn't have put this perspective better myself. Thank you for sharing that.
Nice words and 100% salute to your emotional sharing not just to Klopp, Liverpool and the football at large! YNWA
Roger, well said! Jürgen has brought us (me) so much love and happiness in watching this beautiful game. Your final three minutes of the podcast are inspiring my friend. Cheers amigo, YNWA.
Liverpool is in Jurgen's heart and Jurgen is in our hearts. 💕 Once a RED Always a RED YNWA
Thank you for appreciating the monumental meaning this man has for us Reds! I'm still in shock!
What an utterly beautiful human being is Jurgen. Period. And he's taking the Seinfeld way out at the top of his game leaving the club in a rebuilt early growth stage with better physical infrastructure that yes, FSG must be given credit for too. Long may they and Jurgen run to wherever they venture.
How refreshing to hear an unblinkered Evertonian recognise Jurgen Klopp's humanity.. Win, lose or draw he'd have a comment to make. He never shied away from the public. What a contrast to when Mike Phelan would be sent out by Ferguson to talk to the media after a Utd defeat..
Thank you Jurgen for those unforgettable moments that gave us all goose pimples.. overturning a 3-0 first leg to beat Barcelona 4-0, at Anfield - possibly our greatest ever win (up there with Istanbul) and too many others to list them. Thank you, thank you.. I've been a Red since 1969 and the last 9 years have been magic. Hope the boys can do you proud and give you the send-off you deserve.
Tausend Dank..!
YNWA
Cheers Rog, he leaves us with nothing but love, gratitude and amazing memories.
From a Liverpool fan to an Evertonian, thanks for the tribute. And I am glad you got some points back and are still in the premiership and we still get the derby games yay.
Thank you. I‘m filled with ambivalence. Happy for all the times I‘ve been proud to be a member of this throughout the bad times because of the culture Jürgen instilled. Sad because All Things Must Pass. What a ride it‘s been and still is. He gave it his all, he needs to fill up his energies. Long may he love life and spread joy. YNWA
Well said Oliver
It just shows how important he is globally in the football world. Programmes, documentaries, interviews, opinions all over the internet. We will miss him ……….
@meninblazers please get John Oliver on for a eulogy on his favorite moments: from the team celebrating the fans for their support in a draw, the 5-4 last minute winner while breaking his glasses, to the unbelievable humanity and humility the man displayed with grace throughout his stewardship of the club.
love that idea of a Klopp air hug statue!
We'll take royalties when it's built
Man, although being a Toffee you are a real sportsman and we all can or should rely on your statements. We all love the game no matter what colors we wear. Some of these fans use it to do crucial things for sure- but don't forget, we all love the same game. I feel very sorry for our friends at LFC and hopefully their approach - which Jürgen started - will last. Me as a supporter of Borussia Mönchengladbach - I know how bad it feels when Icons of the team /staff leave just for a better offer. But let me tell you this: every real club (not these artificial ones like RB or Hoffenheim e.g in Germany) are more than a hundred years old, so they will outlast us all.
All the best to you !!
Cheers from Münster, Germany
Frank
Very well phrased. Danke
We need a John Oliver reaction!!!
We need John Oliver to announce his retirement.
Wow, this was brilliant, loved the honest take from your perspective, cheers for giving today a feeling that it'll be different but it'll be alright, and we're blessed to have shared Jürgen.
Jürgen Klopp made Liverpool a better team. He made LFC as a club better. He leaves Liverpool FC better than when he arrived. It was a bombshell to hear the news. I’m sure after a year break I anticipate him becoming the coach for the German national team. Jürgen will never be forgotten. The last game at Anfield against Wolves there will not be a dry eye 😢 in the house as we say goodbye to fantastic manager and a wonderful human being.
Wow.This is the best response I've heard amongst all of it - viscerally describing the experience of the Klopp years
Of all the reactions on this day of tears, the best by a mile has to be from an Everton fan
Thank you very much for your very emotional tribute This is deeply respected! YNWA❤
"They'll have to walk through another door." What a great ending!
As a Chelsea fan this makes me a bit sad. I'll miss his genuineness and some of the things he said at press conferences. That said, this is pure hagiography by Roger lol
He was a different manager in a sea of talent.
@@meninblazers very much agreed. But describing his hug as communicating "...infinite, infinite love" was a bit much imo.
heartbreaking and understandable. ive been worrying about mo leaving
for this whole season and now its jurgen. whiplash anyone.
Agreed except when the Saudi money was on offer I couldn't help but imagine what we'd be able to do with it and how well we'd play anyways (see the last few matches since afcon started)...
There's no replacing Klopp
Rog, that was a heartfelt, honest summary of this great man and many Liverpool fans including me will love your summary. We have been blessed to have this man at the helm of our club for the last 8 or so years and you are right, It is impossible for any other football fan to IMAGINE BEING US. YNWA JK❤
I was to young to have witnessed shankly but im so glad i got to witness this fabulous human being lead our club.Jurgen Klopp YNWA
You described everything so well. It's been so fun and such a journey with Klopp. Feeling emotional after watching your video
16:48 That last snippet, Klopp was talking about Guardiola and City 😂
Rog, thank you for putting city rivalries to one side for the appriciating the humanity of the man of the people - Jurgen Klopp. Now let’s send him off with number 20 and kick the Mancs off OUR fuckin perch!
This is what I love about people from UK. So very articulated and can speak in such beautiful sentences. After spending much time in America as a guy from HK, I must say there are something to how UK people talked about soccer just transcend the sport.
Rog, you sure knows ways to make a grown man (life long LFC fan) cry
He will be sorely missed. Great manager but even greater human being. I think he could go into any club or organisation or business & make a difference because I truly believe he lives by “treat others as you would like to be treated”. Jurgen YNWA and thank you.
An absolute beauty of a soul, man, leader, human....
When we won the prem BT sport released a video- “Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool’s journey since 1993”. It was a lovely video backed by “Strange Weather” by Anna Calvi, the video ends with an amazing scene of Jürgen walking under the “This is Anfield sign” as the track sings “I’ve loved before, I’ll love again, I know that yours was true.”
I’ve watched that video back with tears in my eyes about 10 to 12 times since the news broke. We’ve loved before, I’m sure we’ll love again, but this love is true.
I think the last gift of the man was not leaving last year, or at any of our lows, but leaving when we don’t want him to, and he doesn’t want to. Waiting until we are seemingly on the right path again-“he fired” himself “because I knew no one else was ever going to do it.”
A measure of the man, another gift from a legend. Danke Jürgen.
This video is why an Evertonians CZcams channel is a safe haven for me by the way. I love that we can live on the outside of the anger and animosity that exists between clubs and rivalries and appreciate the best of one another. It’s the same thing that made me crack a smile when Frank kept Everton up and they rushed the pitch. Sometimes the humanity that brings us together is stronger than the symbols that we’ve decided separate us.
Ive never come across you before but ive got to say this is one of the best videos and takes ive seen on klopp leaving and your an Evertonian 😂
Can tell your fundamentally a huge fan of the game and thats great to see in such a hate fuelled world.
This was a wonderful tribute. Going to feel different next season. For the whole premier league.
Hope he goes out singing loudly about 12:30 kick offs and finally gets to have a proper go at Paul Tierney.
Who do you think will step in as manager?
@@meninblazers Xabi Alonso
Thank you for your beautiful composition and delivery ❤️❤️🩹🤍
It’s only been one PL and CL in 8 years but I don’t care. It was the ride. I’d rather have klopp than another coach with twice as much success
There’s some really lovely sentiments here.
I think a week and two matches on I’m really glad he announced it now rather than at the end of the season, because we really get to enjoy every precious moment while we can.
Imagine being us.
This is an amazing tribute. You brought tears to my eyes. Very articulate and sincere. 👌 and a bit of wry humour too 😂
Fair play, great vid. Describes the Klopp journey perfectly.
Brilliantly written and presented.
I was waiting for you take on this news. I could not believe it when I heard it the first time. It was a joy watching Liverpool under Klopp leadership. Giving you some love from a Liverpool fan. Let’s go Reds and make this season a journey to remember. ❤ #LFC #meninblazers #JohnOliver
Probably if not the best commentary i have heard. Excellent absolute respect
Wow ! Am a red from Thailand since 1986
Ways before internet and social media
Had to figure it out how Ian Rush was fantastic in the box from a local magazine that published the Match Facts from the week before 😊
You had me subscribed your channel from the first 3 minutes of the clip mate.
I lost my grandad in November, he was 79. He was a proper Toffee, been going the game sonce the 50s. His loss was devastating. Some of the happiest moments he and I had revolved around football, he being a blue and me a red. The time woth Jurgen in charge qas the best for us. We'd endlessly discuss and gush about the job he was doing. My grandad understood that Jurgen got Liverpool. He has been hope and happiness to us all in the city. His loss to the club feels like a mini bereavement in itself, but like my grandad would say, it is better to cherish the moments
Have been holding the dam gates closed since I heard the news. Never thought that an Evertonian would be the one to break them. Beautiful tribute, mate. YNWA
I found out 6 am. I ended up leaving work early. Just couldn't do it today
You could have done with a Klopp special today…. a huge bear hug.
@@user-sz2ut4od6s truer words have never been spoken. Thank you. You gave me a smile
Wow thank you for sharing this❤ powerful.
Very nice of you to speak of him as fondly as a "rival" I can say I'm gutted myself but extremely grateful for all he has gave us. Even utd fans I work with say I hate the team but Klopp is funny. High praise in disguise lol but it's true, his warmth and sheer talent have to be recognised. Like a Liverpool fan will say about Ferguson. Some managers shine so bright that even the rival fan has to take a bow at their immense and rare talent.
It is not important what people think about you when you come, it is important what people think about you when you leave. Klopp when he came to Anfield
Impressive, really impressive talk! Remarkable job! Gr from NL
So proud of him and all he’s done for us. We still have a great run to look forward to! I am starting to believe something broke his spirit that he could not finish out his contract. He’s only 56. I have confidence in FSG, however I think changes are coming. YNWA
That was very therapeutic. Thanks.
Thanks a lot for that vlog mate.
I’m a Red and would be gutted if the Blues went down as Merseyside Derby’s are two fixtures in the EPL that are in the top 10 of games of the season.
And Liverpool people would lose jobs!
My family are 2/3rds Red and none of us are bitter.
Yeah, I was shocked but I think his lads are around about University age so maybe he wants to go back to Germany for maybe re him me time.
I reckon he’ll have a year out and take the National job, if it’s offered, and go to a World Cup as the German National team needs a good shake up.
He once said ‘how people feel you when you enter a job means nothing, what they feel about you when you leave is much important! I think he’ll go down on par with Shanks, Bob Paisley, Rafa and Dalglish (part 1).
Goodluck with the rest of the season, I hope you get those 10 pts squashed!!
Excellent tribute, truly gutted he is leaving. Thank you Jürgen ♥️♥️♥️ YNWA
Beautifully articulate, as always.
Appreciate your comments, mate. Pure class!
very well phrased man we all love this guy
Memorable coach. Brought hope before the titles and cups to the LFC.
Liverpool fan here. I never saw your channel before but man, that was really well said.
Love you Rog!
This is bigger than when Charles V abdicated as Emperor of the HRE…
