Don't be sad he is going, be happy we have had him. He has transformed our football club and given us the one thing we all wanted more than anything and who knows what he may deliver yet before he goes. Thanks for everything, Jurgen - you made even the biggest doubters believers and you gave us our pride back.27 points

What the fuck is wrong with some of you on here. Klopp has made clear his reasons for this decsion and the timing. Some of you soap watching cunts on here have nothing better to do than look for some ulterior motive for that decision. Given what he has done for this club, and the obvious depth of feelling he has for it, do you really think he would not have considered all the repercussions of his decision and made one that, in his opinion, was best for the club?20 points

I’ve watched that full 24 mins interview and in it he asks us to accept his decision. And the video makes me think more of him as a man than I already did. He’s making the decision partly for his own good but he hints that he thinks it’s the best for the club too. He says he’s a 100% all in style manager and feels like he won’t be able to do that anymore after this season. He doesn’t want to manage us when he’s not able to give it everything. The bit about dreading and being indifferent about organising next seasons training camp said a lot to me. It sounds like he doesn’t get the enjoyment out of things like he once did. That his job is now becoming more of a chore and is preventing him from living a normal life. That’s the starting point to something more serious, if it continued. A complete burn out, mental exhaustion and possible further issues. It sounded like he’s decided to get out while he can before he’s completely overwhelmed by everything. And, for all he’s done for us, he’s entitled to think of and look after himself for once, and, yes, we do accept your decision. Albeit sadly.16 points

It's been a fuckling privilege to have gone on this journey with him. I am so grateful to him for bringing the joy back. It's a fucking great big fairy story. Rocks up. Says he is normal. Tells everyone that if they want success they need to buck-up! Wins everything. God bless, you massive fucking legend. Hope all your future endeavours bring you happiness.13 points

I'll never forget rushing home from work to watch his first press conference. I sat with my coat still on and could feel myself welling up, just knowing we were about to see something truly special. he's delivered on all counts and owns us absolutely nothing. He talks about his love for the club and the city but nothing will compare to the love he has from this fanbase. One of the most important human beings in this clubs history and a flag for lifetime on the Kop. My biggest worry now (other than bringing Gerrard in) is keeping players. We've managed to make a transformation from having the best side in the world, dipping to looking like world beaters again. Klopp without doubt was a massive pull in bringing top player in. I hope to god the likes of VVD and Ali don't think maybe it's time for them as well. Hopefully he gets his hand around them all and tells them to stay and cement themselves as club legends as well (they already are but you know what I mean). It's a very sad day but the best thing we can do is roar the side on for the rest of the season then mourn after we've lifted the title in-front of a packed Anfield. Danke Jurgen lad, you have given us 8 of the best year we will ever know.10 points

As he said in the interview, he's been managing for 24 years, not to mention he was playing full time for a decade before that. He's got a grandkid now, maybe he genuinely had had enough and wants to retire at a decent age so him and Ulla can enjoy their lives and enjoy their family. That being the case, good luck to him.8 points

He's earned the right to make this decision and time it when he wants. It's still shattering. What an incredible privilege it's been to have him associated with the club. What a human being he is. I just hope we can find someone who'll move the team on in the right standard and style, but what an absence he'll leave behind.7 points

I can only imagine how stressful a job it is. Everyone has their limits, and he obviously feels like he has reached his and he needs a break. Goodness knows he's earned it. I hope we can give him the send off he deserves with a second Premier League title.7 points

Short one this week as there were only a handful of games, one of which was ours and has already been covered. So four games to get through, starting with the return of my boy Ivan Toney against Forest. Cracking game. Danilo volleyed Forest into an early lead but Toney levelled in contentious circumstances. Firstly, it looked like a dive by Damsgaard to win the free-kick, but the thing that had Forest so angry they wrote to PGMOL about it (I’ll get to this) was Toney moving the ball a foot to the right to give himself a bit more leeway to bend it around the wall and into the bottom corner (which he did, superbly). It’s not just that he moved the ball, it’s that he waited until the refs back was turned and also moved the spray foam so it looked like the ball was where it was supposed to be. I’ve seen loads on twitter (most of them not Forest fans, some where Reds, bizarrely enough) really going after Toney and calling him a cheat. Fuck off you huge snowflakes!! Is it cheating? Technically yeah. It’s also crafty, sneaky, clever, streetwise, whatever you want to call it. Good luck to him if he can get away with that. He probably won’t next time as there’s been so much hysterical whining over it that everyone is going to be watching him from now on. Toney himself said “you can move it half a yard either side and if I hadn’t scored no-one would care”. Can you move it half a yard either side? I don’t think that’s right you know but he seemed pretty sure of himself. The ref doesn’t have eyes in the back of his head so it’s not his fault. And VAR isn’t allowed to get involved in something like that, so it’s not their fault either. The Forest players should have spotted it and moved the wall accordingly, but they weren’t paying attention and paid the price. Shit happens. But then Forest, not for the first time, took their grievance to a completely unacceptable level and fired off a letter of complaint. Soft cunts. So many teams have suffered far worse than them but this is the second time they’ve leaked to the press that they’re putting in an official complaint. I’m embarrassed for them, especially as like I said, VAR is literally not allowed to intervene in this as it’s against the rules set out by FIFA. If anything they should be writing to FIFA. Never mind the PSR charges, dock them 10 points just for being massive babies. A thumping header by Ben Mee gave Brentford the lead but Wood equalised from a Hudson-Odoi cross. Maupay won it with a really nice finish. He’s done alright since going back there, he’s got five goals now which means he’s reverted to the mean. He was always good for 8-10 goals a season until he ended up in the black hole that is Everton. He must feel like a released P.O.W. right now, just enjoying life again.7 points -
I won't say it feels like a death in the family as I'm all too familiar with that feeling and saying it about a man I've never met is a bit too melodramatic (for me, other people are entitled to their own feeling). It does, however, feel like a really good mate moving away and knowing he is never coming back. Can't help but think about all those special moments (Dortmund, Barcelona, no. 6, no. 19, battering United repeatedly, beating Everton in the cup with a team of children haha) and feeling things will never have that same magic again, no matter who comes in. As has been said, you can replace the coach, but you can never replace the man. Love the man to bits and hope he can find the rest and normalcy he is looking for. No one deserves it more.6 points

I'm absolutely devastated by this news, even my wife and eldest son (who have no interest in footy) loved Jurgen and both text me immediately after it happened, gutted. I feel the same as when Kenny left in 1991. I was 20, Kenny was all I knew, my favourite player and I adored him as manager and a person. I'm so happy my father got to experience Jurgen before he passed away and see us win the league. I'm sanguine about the future, I'm sure I'll get as emotionally involved again but right now I can't see it I guess I never thought we'd have anyone again like Kenny, then we did, the club lives on.6 points

His whole coaching staff as well, Lijnders keen to pursue a coaching career elsewhere, apparently. I knew this day would one day come but I honestly thought he looked like he was re-energised. Obviously he isn't, and he's more than earned the right to leave on his own terms. But I am utterly, utterly crushed by this news. Devastated.6 points

Well, that’s a punch in the gut. Let’s have him go out with a bang and do all we can to win the league. From the article, it sounds like he’s on the verge of being burnt out and needs a break. We can’t begrudge him that and he’s earned it for everything he’s delivered for us. Gutted though!6 points

Went for a walk before and was gutted about this, was surprised how much. Dalglish is the last manager who left before his time (i.e, the club/fans weren't ready to part ways) and it's almost like a form of grief. When so much shit is going on in the world you look for the little things that bring you joy, and watching LFC is one of those things and he's a huge part of that. I hope in the future he comes back in some capacity, even as a sports director or scout or something if he's had his fill of footy, would love to just see him up in the stands with Kenny.5 points

I'm in such a strange emotional mindset at the moment. It honestly feels like a death in the family or getting dumped by your bird. I know this isn't anything as serious as that but I'm definitely in the denial phase, it's as though it's not real and every time I think about him leaving I'm constantly experiencing disbelief as though it's not real, I've felt that way since I heard. I'll forget for a bit, then as soon as I realise he's leaving again, I'm thinking "What the fuck, this can't be happening." I've never felt this way about anything that wasn't immediate to me personally. It's fucking weird. I've never met the man FFS.4 points

Any excuse to tell my Xabi Alonso story. Back when he was still playing for us, I was in Liverpool One. Can't remember what I was doing, either walking through or doing some shopping. Anyway, I was walking down the upstairs bit, on the right hand side, as if you had come out of Zara at the very top. I was crossing over to the other side, using the walkways in there and who do i see on his phone? Yeah, it's was Xabi.4 points

Completely devastating blow. Klopp was an absolutely perfect fit for Liverpool, in terms of how we like our football and he handled the other side of being Liverpool manager very well - he carried himself as a person, as an ambassador for the club and the city, like nobody else that I can remember save those who came before my time. Hardly any clubs in the world have visibility, responsibility and pressure like the manager's job at Liverpool. In many ways, you're more than the manager, you are the walking representation of the club. It's such a stupid thing to say given what's happened in my life in the past 5 years but I feel like I am grieving. I feel like I've lost someone close to me. It's such a stupid thing to say but this feeling in the pit of my stomach just reminds me of loss. Of course, we will continue, the world will carry on and we'll appoint a new manager. They will have their good points and bad points, they will have their way of playing and we will move past Klopp. The new guy has a huge job on his hands already. The timing is the biggest shock - he's looked rejuvenated with the team he's started to rebuild and I fancied that he might sign another deal and I cannot believe he didn't want another crack at the Champions League. I am absolutely stunned in every conceivable way. I can only hope the announcement has been made now to give the fans and the players some unity towards the end of the season as we roll into battle after battle to try and win finals and critical points. Even so, this is just complete devastation. An absolutely terrible bit of news for the club but he has obviously thought long and hard about it and despite the rebuild and the positivity, this is the decision he has reached.4 points
