Jürgen Klopp is a legend - not just of Liverpool, but of football itself.
I spent 3 hours with him this week talking about his incredible journey on The Diary Of A CEO… and I really hope you enjoy it.
It’ll certainly make you respect this man even more and respect “the Liverpool way” - regardless of who you support.
1. What really happened behind the scenes that encourage him to leave.
2. Would he have stayed if he knew he was going to win the premier league and city were going to struggle?
3. The job offer he once got from Manchester United (and the exact reason why he turned it down)?
4. His relationship with Michael Edwards and who was responsible for transfers at Liverpool?
5. Why Darwin Nunez was angry at him at the end of the season.
6. The importance of his “aura” and “heavy metal football”.
7. His thoughts on Liverpool’s massive transfer window that he once said was not possible.
8. How he inspired players to “run through fire” in unexpected ways.
9. If he’d ever return to Anfield, and his heartbreak around the tragic passing of Diego.
10. We also spoke about Arne Slot, leadership, legacy, and what it truly means to give everything to a legendary club like Liverpool.
And so so much more…
A huge thank you to all the Liverpool fans and legends who sent in their thoughts and questions ahead of the interview - including @Carra23 and @JHenderson.
Out Monday! 8am 👊🏾❤️

Woah....
Rory admitted today he was approached by @RyderCupEurope about being a playing captain (likely in Ireland in 2027) 🇪🇺
He said no.
"Because I don't think you can do it..."

@fried_egg_golf This is great. I’d rather watch Ricky than Chris Kirk so the system works

"For as distasteful as the Spieth invites have been, the situation with Rickie Fowler is magnitudes grosser. Fowler barely snuck inside the top-70 cutoff to make the playoffs, finishing the regular season in 64th place. Of the 665 points Fowler earned during the regular season, 319 (48%) were earned through the six sponsor exemptions he received into signature events. After four legitimately strong days in Memphis this weekend en route to a T-6 finish, Fowler has officially parlayed his sponsor invite points into 48th place in the FedEx Cup standings, just inside the top-50 cutoff that ensures a spot in all of the PGA Tour’s signature events next season. Considering the narrow margin Fowler squeaked by to both get into the playoffs and then into the top 50, it is very difficult to argue that the sponsor invitations he received into signature events this year aren’t directly responsible for his pathway to signature events in 2026.
"Try to spin sponsor exemptions any way you want. I’ve heard the arguments. 'Sponsors fund the Tour. They can do whatever they want.' Sure, they can. It is an accepted practice within the current structure of the PGA Tour. Is that how the Tour should run, though? How do you message to Tour membership that the only thing standing between the players and full access to the top tier of PGA Tour events is strong performance, while also allowing sponsor invites to dictate careers? 'Play better.' Yeah, tell that to Chris Kirk, who finished 51st in the FedEx Cup standings on zero sponsor invites since he qualified for every signature event this season on merit.
"The best version of the PGA Tour is the most competitive version. Eliminating sponsor exemptions at signature events would be an effective step in that direction."

@EstebanMaccers @NUCLRGOLF Masters is slightly over-hyped in my eyes. It’s awesome but same course every year means it’s not as difficult to win as a US Open. The Open is always #1
English

@ReidTweeted @NUCLRGOLF It’s the hard choice but ultimately correct I’d say. PGA is a bit crap, until Rory wins it again next month

@RickyMcLarnon @DAMIADENUGA Just run across at the start and kick all the blue balls really far away 😂

@ReidTweeted @DAMIADENUGA Trip your opponents up at every opportunity.

@RickyMcLarnon @DAMIADENUGA Cover the longer distance first when your legs are fresh

@DAMIADENUGA The only lesson here is to do it faster than the other lad. That’s literally the only difference, they both have the same distance to cover.

@ReidTweeted @PWestoff We are all eating manufactured shite as it is, this just speeds up the blacrock-ification of the supply chain where they swoop in and profit. Plug us all into the matrix and the sooner we don’t know the better….
Apart from weddings obvs. They’ll still be done in person.

We are witnessing a Communist coup in Britain.
A farm valued at £4 million (land, buildings and machinery) might return a profit of only 50-100k per annum. Some years, it will make a loss.
The Labour government has just announced a 20% inheritance on the value of farms, which amounts to £800,000 payable (on a £4M farm) after the death of the farmer.
His children will be unable to pay this astronomical sum of money, so they will have to sell the farm. But no one will want to buy the farm because of the future inheritance tax issue.
What will happen? Friends of the government will buy it cheaply and convert it into a solar farm. After a couple of decades of useless energy production the land will be contaminated and can be re-zoned as a brownfield site and sold as building land.
The government will be very happy. Lots of politicians will become very rich. Farmers will no longer exist and the average person will be unable to buy the expensive imported food British farmers once provided cheaply.
I'm not sure people fully understand what is actually happening in England. If they did, there would be a million sturdy yeoman armed with pitchforks surrounding parliament next week.

English

@RickyMcLarnon @PWestoff I think the continuity of farming is very much at risk. If immediate kin need to sell to cover an inheritance tax bill then the continuity of the farm can’t be guaranteed. I think Labour are wrong here. It’s about a barrier to continuity. Easy thing to do is sell up and take cash
English

@PWestoff Oh no, don’t make the children sell a £4m farm to pay inheritance tax and then still walk away with millions in their bank account. How will they survive?!

@ReidTweeted @gsj_w @jamierkennedy @DPWorldTour Considering Murray owns a chunk of Castore, he really should be representing better 😂

Best 2 mins you'll watch this week...
Fascinating insight from Andy Murray, then an incredible nugget from Bob MacIntyre.
The kind of content that behind-the-scenes series promise, yet it's the @DPWorldTour with a single camera that produce it 👏
