Good to see him doing well.
A true legend.

Yeah. And no matter how long he speaks for, there's always a pearl of insight.Absolutely love Sir Alex. The way he speaks has so much of authority. You can see why he’s so successful just from the way he speaks.
Aw, that would be wonderful. Not optimistic about it tbh.He looks well. I'd do anything for him to see us win a league title in his lifetime again. Him handing medals to Ole and his team would be absolutely amazing.
Klopp didn't want to leave Dortmund in 2013. We should have gone for him in the summer of 2015 but I guess Woody couldn't have sacked Van Gaal after qualifying for the CL.Bit fecking late now Mr Ferguson.
If you loved Klopp so much, why the feck did you hire David Fecking Moyes.
You had your chance and blew it big time.
Woodward messed it up and scared Klopp awayBit fecking late now Mr Ferguson.

... And here we have the complete opposite of class. The modern day "fan" who just spouts out what first comes to mind without thought, history or just a tad bit of research/googling.Bit fecking late now Mr Ferguson.

It also makes you listen way more when he actually speaks, than if he went on to be a commentator of sorts. I feel that players going the commentator-way has watered down the legacy of a lot of the legends at our club.Even in his congratulations he manages to remind them of their failures
He really is the master. Does look well too, shame we don't get to see and hear from him as much anymore.
As somebody else said above, he feels like a Grandad that we don't see enough of.
It's been well documented. SAF did want him after Pep had already signed for Bayern Munich but Klopp wanted a sabbatical and we weren't willing to wait...or the powers in charge of Utd weren't willing to wait a year with a caretaker in charge. We went with a hasty and under qualified candidate.Woodward messed it up and scared Klopp away
A drunken mateWho the hell calls a 78 year old man at 03h30. Not cool. You phone me at 03h30 and youre dead to me... and Im 36.
Good to see the old bean looking so well though.
That's true, short and sweet is always better. I guess he tries to stay out the way so he doesn't undermine Ole, but would just be nice to hear from him a bit more often.It also makes you listen way more when he actually speaks, than if he went on to be a commentator of sorts.

Ha, yeah, serves you right Fergie!Bit fecking late now Mr Ferguson.

I don’t think klopp would have come here no matter what. Fergie is klopps Idol and he was scared to follow him into united with that pressure and expectation. He wanted to replicate what Fergie did here at Liverpool. Imo.It's been well documented.

Such short sightedness cost us several years of positive development. They're all culpable including SAF but the club should have been bold enough to say, "look, thanks Sir Alex but we need a serious long term plan and this is what we need to do."
Oh well, no use fretting over it. We are where we are
Same, man. He is the greatest and I'm so happy to see him looking well.Dunno how he just lights my day up, just seeing SAF. I’m lucky to have grown up watching him. Great man showing Klopp some love.
Sir Matt was Fergie's idol, didn't stop him taking the job at Utd.I don’t think klopp would have come here no matter what. Fergie is klopps Idol and he was scared to follow him into united with that pressure and expectation. He wanted to replicate what Fergie did here at Liverpool. Imo.
Fergie and klopp are different peopleSir Matt was Fergie's idol, didn't stop him taking the job at Utd.
Anyway it's a moot point
Oh bugger off!!Wonder where fergie telled him go at 3:30am
Wass? I cannot hear a zing with zis schitty audio qualityKlopp's English is astoundingly good isn't it.
Class reaction.Klopp's English is astoundingly good isn't it.
I doubt he would due to media training and the owners, but Lampard has a very good set of GCSE results behind him, one of the more intelligent footballers certainly.Class reaction.
Klopp is a very articulate and intelligent speaker. I listened to an interview with him on Radio5Live, giving his views on Brexit, and he was very impressive. No football chat but extremely perceptive on the politics of the EU.
Couldn't imagine a twat like Lampard doing the same
He didn't need to take over from Sir Matt. The shadow of that man's success loomed large over every manager at OT after his retirement. Only Fergie had the personality and vision to succeed where others failed.Fergie and klopp are different people
It is a moot point yes
Edit: and although it’s a moot point, klopp took over Liverpool after a massive drought similar to Fergie and united. Fergie didn’t take over from Sir Matt
Now that’s a tangentHe didn't need to take over from Sir Matt. The shadow of that man's success loomed large over every manager at OT after his retirement. Only Fergie had the personality and vision to succeed where others failed.
We appointed McGuiness who was out of his depth, poor chap! Frank O'Farrell and Sexton were excellent coaches but didn't have the personality for Utd. The Doc had it but ran into controversy and that was that...society with it's double standards weren't prepared to forgive marital infidelity despite all the wrongs politicians were committing at the time. Big Ron..good coach and I think he was unlucky when injuries ravaged what might have been but he couldn't get us back on track and the rest is history.
I think you lot are hearing what you would like to hear from the great man's comments. I think he is just pleased, as most pure football people are, to see old rivals back at a respectable level. Old money families don't generally like each other but they collectively despise the nouveau richHe looks very well, nice to see.
Also agree with others that he`s deliberatly congratulating Klopp individually while almost not mentioning Liverpool, apart from the 30 year dig (as well as 16 years dig at Leeds haha).
Pretty sure that`s intentional, you can tell that he still has fire in him.
