Having Jurgen Klopp as our manager has been the greatest privilege imaginable. It's been utterly life-affirming. He swept us off our feet, took us by the hand, and gave us success, romance and untold life lessons.
Because make no mistake, we got the BEST one. The absolute best of the lot. Yes, there have been more successful managers, but there haven't been any better people.
Would the success have been as enjoyable with a humourless Guardiola, a negative Mourinho or a dour Ferguson? I doubt it. But more importantly, would the failures have been as enjoyable? Definitely not.
Because Klopp isn't just a football manager, he's a leader, capable of making you reassess the way you see life.
From fist pumps, to gegenpressing, to parades, to corners taken quickly, to heavy metal football, to hugs, to goalies scoring, to fan parks, to penalty shoot-outs, to broken specs, to European finals, to last minute derby winners, to trusting the kids, to 7-0, to our first league title in 30 years...
What a ride it's been! I will always be SO glad, that Jurgen was a red.
