00:00 Absolutely gutted.
00:01 Devastated.
00:02 It's like something's been taken from you.
00:05 I'm still waiting for someone to turn around and go, "We tricked you."
00:08 Yeah, it's an absolute shock.
00:15 I feel heartbroken because I just couldn't believe it.
00:19 I saw...
00:20 I saw the news, I saw the reports and I just thought,
00:24 "Please, please don't be real."
00:25 He's, like, figuring everyone's lives in a way.
00:29 He's, like, a five-a-day figure.
00:31 It's crazy how...
00:33 what he means to this club and how he's just gone like that.
00:36 He's never hinted at it.
00:38 I mean, he usually has the seven-year-it's, doesn't he?
00:42 Seven years at the club and he's gone, but this is different.
00:44 He's in the process of actually building a new team.
00:48 We were only talking about it the other day, saying, you know,
00:51 even Everton fans, Manchester City fans, Man U fans said,
00:55 "We carried lockdown with Klopp being absolutely unreal."
01:00 I mean, he's going to leave a legend, I think,
01:02 for the first couple of weeks, couple of months after he leaves.
01:07 Watching him back is going to be hard.
01:09 Erm...
01:10 But I think after that he'll be remembered as a hero.
01:15 He ranks with Paisley and Shankly.
01:17 Simple as that.
01:18 I mean, I was only saying, Shankly was always my man.
01:22 And then you had probably one of the best managers that's ever lived,
01:25 in Paisley, and this fella, he's there to make the claim.
01:30 You'll hear old people talk about Shankly, Paisley, people like that.
01:35 Obviously I weren't lucky enough to be around then,
01:37 but for me, that's Klopp.
01:39 That's what he means to me, he's like that figure
01:41 that I've looked up to since being this big.
01:44 Well, apparently the talk is he's Xabi Alonso.
01:48 I like Xabi Alonso, thought he was a good player.
01:51 Erm...
01:52 Whether it's the right time yet, I don't know.
01:55 He's topped the Bundesliga, and that's brilliant for a club like that,
02:00 especially Bayern and Dortmund.
02:02 But the things he's done with them and the way he's playing as well,
02:06 he's got a system, he's set it up, he's got everything sorted.
02:10 That's why big clubs want him, like Real Madrid,
02:12 and I'm sure we want him as well, I'm sure that's something we want.
02:16 So, yeah, he'd be amazing.
