You’ll be remembered for your loyalty and dedication every time you were called upon. You leave as a champion, and I’ve got no doubt you’ll do big things at your new club. They are lucky to have you.
🚨💣 BREAKING: Alexander Isak to Liverpool, here we go! Deal agreed now for £130m transfer fee. Record move for Premier League.
Isak, on his way today for medical tests as new Liverpool player after long term deal agreed months ago.
It was always ONLY Liverpool for Isak.
Everyone associated with Finn Harps is deeply saddened by the passing of former manager Ollie Horgan.
A man of great integrity and resolve, Ollie’s contribution to Finn Harps and Irish football will never be forgotten.
A proper football man.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
It's time for everyone to get 100% Andy Robertson. He is going through a tough run of form but he has been absolutely outstanding for Liverpool since he arrived. Put his assists and brilliant performances aside he has always given his all for the club. He has a lot of credit built up over the years. He has given to the fans the club now the fans need to give to him. 'YNWA' should be an unconditional symbol of what it means to be a Liverpool supporter, player or anyone associated with the club. Don't cast aside his brilliance for years over a few sub par displays. Countless times he has come straight out to do post match reactions after abysmal team displays, he's never hidden and he won't hide now.
I would like to first and foremost thank the mechanics and engineers across all functions at the track, Enstone, and Viry-Châtillon who have raced alongside me these last five seasons. We have shared so much together, and I am proud to call many of you my friends.
I leave Alpine/Renault with great memories and the pride of having been the driver who brought the team’s best results since its return to the sport, climbing the top two steps of the podium in Bahrain, Hungary, and Brazil. It was also an honour to play a part in finishing P4 in the Constructors’ Championship in 2022. I know how much all of those moments meant for everybody and feeling that sense of achievement and joy alongside the team is what I am taking away with me.
It has not been an easy year on track for the team and the second part of the season has been especially difficult. For various reasons.
I do not regret a single thing knowing I gave it 100% every single session. Like I always have.
To the hundreds of hard-working men and women at Enstone and Viry, I apologise that I will not be able come see you in person and have a proper farewell. As you know, the plan was always to race one last time this weekend and personally say goodbye to you all next week. I was looking forward to both of those things.
This is not how I wanted things to end.
That said, the world of F1 is small and I am sure I will see many of you again soon.
I would also like to wish nothing but great things to my friend Jack as he takes this next big step in his career at this week’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
MERCI
THANK YOU
Arne Slot on Mo Salah playing his last game against City at home:
“Maybe Mo knows more about the 115 charges, so expects them not to be there next season.”
“It was a joke, I repeat a joke!” 😭
