Could be his accountant though!
No. But I'm sure he would have obliged if I'd asked, which I didn't.
I did encounter him again at an awards dinner and there was a kid there who was desperate to get a Klopp hug. Needless to say he wasn't disappointed.
On which subject, Kenny. Kenny never disappoints. Top bloke. You didn't always see him come in, but you knew when he was there. He has a presence about him, and he was never happier than when he was having a bit of a laugh with the rank and file. Didn't see any ego there at all. Rushie was the same, but without the same presence as the King.
ooh that raises a tough question, you’re only allowed one hug. Kenny or Klopp? Kenny for me
Yeah, we overlapped briefly. He wasn't good with speed limits and the joke at one point was that Jen had more points than the first team (that was at the start of Brendan's reign, when he had a really tough opening set of fixtures). I also used to joke when I got in the lift and it said "going down" that we'd be fine when we got a few easier games under our belt.
Nah, Klopp. Kenny's not a hugger.
And Kenny would probably give you a hug anyway if he knew what it meant to you.
So that's how you ended up here....
One of the more amusing things about being on the inside is knowing how much shit gets mentioned in the media. Stories you see printed given loads of credence by so-called respectable journos which you know are total bullshit. And I should say that details of transfers were kept to a very tight group of people. If there were leaks from the club, they almost certainly came from Melwood. Very few people on the admin side knew what was going on (the people in the know even used code names for incoming players) and those that did know weren't going to tell anyone else.
I remember a few of us being in the office one transfer window evening. We knew no-one was coming in but were there just in case we got a late offer for someone on the sell list who hadn't been shifted out yet (normally that meant Lucas, and no-one made an offer). We had the telly on when Jim White popped up on Sky saying he had it on good authority that there was a flurry of activity at Liverpool. And we're all sitting there eating cold pizza with stuff all to do, looking at each other and knowing Jim and/or his sources were full of shit. But we also knew there would be fans at home jizzing themselves with excitement at something that wasn't happening.

Why cold? Seems a bit hair shirt!
I often wonder about NDAs, I’ve signed tens of them over the years and I’ve been signed the OSA three times. I suspect I’ve breached many over the years inadvertently because they are so difficult to understand
Now, THAT'S the level of insider info I'm looking for.
How screwed are you when the PR firms discover that everyone on here knows highly confidential information on how Barca still owes us 140 million for Coutinho?
Hug from Kenny, blowie from Jurgen. Sorted
I guess Sky sources had spotted the Dominos van and assumed Mbappe was being smuggled in,
So you read all of that post then.
So now we know two different ways to entice @tombrown to read a post fully
1. Scatter it with teribul typos
2. Add food related intrigue
I picture us all as old farts in 30-odd years time, still making the same joke about Barca owing us £42m for Coutinho while the kids on the site are using 12th generation, cerebrally-implanted Chat GPT to find out who Coutinho was and marvelling at the idea that Barcelona used to have a football team before it was financially mis-managed into oblivion along with whoever it was that used to play at the Jurgen Klopp Stadium the reserves and Women's team use for their home games down at Bramley-Moore.
I'll drink to that
I think he was was a bit happier when he got five million quid in a brown paper bag on the Andy Carroll deal, but point taken.
next you’re going to tell me michael jackson fiddled kids
He was always good with the staff, but not so much in his private life. Not the sharpest tool in the box either (in a non-football sense).
I have two completely separate stories of him being a complete twat. I'd share them over a pint but not on the Internet. The lesson I learned is don't make heroes of these dickheads. The only one I've met who turned out to be a very lovely person was Alan Kennedy.
Fowler and Mcmanaman tried to stop the bouncers kicking me out of mood indigo on Matthew street. They failed.
The club runs a walking football session for the old fellas in Anfield. Alan Kennedy is there most weeks and is just one of the lads, albeit a lot more gifted and competitive.
