Owen, producing everyone coming in on their time off to cover this one, because how could we not? It is massive, massive, massive news. Liverpool put out an official statement. I'll read that in a couple of seconds. If you're live on YouTube YouTube you can interact with there's any thoughts you've got in the comments section

massive it's the biggest news that happens to Liverpool in quite a while for a club

that always has big things happening to it first and foremost Dan where were you when

ferritio Romano this is the world we live in broke the news that Arnestlot wasn't the

pole manager anymore yeah minutes away from my career club had a lovely afternoon the sun planned

picnic in tow ready to just relax and enjoy the sport I also love another of the sports that I love

at my own I'm on a sabbatical from playing cricket at the moment for family reasons. So I was just going to enjoy my sunny afternoon and just take it all in, soak it all up, and then bang, no I'm not, I'm in here, which luckily is already about 10 minutes down the road, so it's actually not a disaster but yeah it's just suddenly everything got

turned upside down and yeah massive massive news huge surprise to me anyway I don't know any

any else for anticipating this but yeah to biggie and I was I was actually in sort of the

luxurious position because I was telling you a minute ago loads of the lads also support

Liverpool obviously were playing and they're actually involved in the game. So I was sort of breaking the news to them

on the side of the pitch and they were all in complete shock as well. Put a tie on. I was just over about five minutes. I'd be honest. I didn't get the money that came with it, though, which is a shame. I'll wait for that. It'll be a little bit. Let's get the popularity, then the money will follow. yeah no I was sat on the couch people will know People will know we've had a bit of a, well, I've not actually said it publicly, but we've had a very exceptionally hard week on top of months and months of hardness. I'll talk more about that elsewhere. But we first day back as a family together, lying on the couch, off for a few days. Literally, my PJ's going right now at the time. and I'm finally going to complete Spider-Man 2 on the PlayStation in my final battle and the credits were the credits were rolling on the game when my phone buzzed and then I sent the Red Men Work Group into absolutely.
