Trying to take the credit for Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard, who had been at the club since they were eight. Can you believe it? I can't.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think Liverpool have a long history with many great players. I hope one day to be up there with those great players. I'll try my best to write some history here.
Liverpool is such a big club, and I was fortunate to be one of a select few to have played for them. It was an amazing time.
Something interesting has happened over the last 10 years in the Premier League. Players who once would have been discarded as expensive and too old have become important parts of title-winning squads.
Liverpool is a club with a big, big, big history, and all the clubs in the world have a big history if the present is not too successful. If you have never had success, then nobody knows how it is, but in Liverpool, everybody knows how it was.
No money in this world could convince me to play for Liverpool. That's not a lack of respect for Liverpool supporters or the football club. It's respect for the Everton supporters. You just can't do that. It goes against everything that I stand for. No chance.
Roy Keane and Paul Scholes were unbelievable players. You cannot compare yourself to them. It is impossible. Scholes especially, I like him a lot, and I have a lot of respect for what he did for United.
Without being the most confident person in the world, I think I am the right person for Liverpool.
They are not your players, they are loaned from the club. You just wheel them out for a game for England.
It's true that Tottenham tempted me because it was a young team which was third in the league.
It has been an honor and a privilege to have had the chance to come back to Liverpool Football Club as manager.
