I don't know why there is so much hate on this club. This is the most special, emotional, passionate club in the entire world. Making a dying man's wish come true....enough said.

[@ThePaulg123]

Couldn't have said it better, what an amazing gesture to give him his dream of managing Liverpool. Ericsson is a great and will be missed in the future but I'm glad he got his moment YNWA 🙌🏻❤️

[@thetruthhurts7675]

Hate? What hate? Envy maybe. However as a life Long Liverpool fan I have never seen hatred as you put it. Affection for our team I have seen everywhere. But Envy yes in many places.

[@lescorlett4133]

It's called jealousy mate. I'm happy for us to live rent free in other supporters heads. 🤣

[@jonnsmusich]

It isn't hate. It iis envy and jealousy ....despise it for what it is and then ignore it.

[@jacksonpauljackson2557]

Who give a toss what they think we know we are the best supported team 😅

[@flannelsykes0]

I'm not a Liverpool fan but I couldnt think of a better place for Sven to receive an respectful ovation. As ever, much admiration to the fanbase.

[@thetruthhurts7675]

Especially as he has a terminal illness, and the only club he has supported all of his life, and really wanted to manage is Liverpool. A kind of fitting tribute to him.

I'm a Man Utd fan and this was a beautiful gesture from Liverpool to Sven, our clubs are rivals but there's moments in football when rivalry gets pushed to the sides for the common good and this is one of them. When the football gods come to take Sven from this planet, he can proudly look back and remember that in his life, he got to manage his boyhood team and shag Ulrika Jonsson. A true football gentleman

My Dad was a Chelsea fan, but I remember standing on the Sky blue terrace at the old Highfield road stadium with Dad and Dad pointing to the Liverpool fans and saying they were the best fans in the land. Big ups to the Liverpool faithful. We shall do our best to shove it up Man U at the semi-final.
