    Jürgen Klopp has today issued the following message to supporters following the Premier League's decision to postpone all football activity until April 3 at the earliest.

    I don’t think this is a moment where the thoughts of a football manager should be important, but I understand for our supporters they will want to hear from the team and I will front that.

    First and foremost, all of us have to do whatever we can to protect one another. In society I mean. This should be the case all the time in life, but in this moment I think it matters more than ever.

    I’ve said before that football always seems the most important of the least important things. Today, football and football matches really aren’t important at all.

    Of course, we don’t want to play in front of an empty stadium and we don’t want games or competitions suspended, but if doing so helps one individual stay healthy - just one - we do it no questions asked.

    If it’s a choice between football and the good of the wider society, it’s no contest. Really, it isn’t.

    Today’s decision and announcement is being implemented with the motive of keeping people safe. Because of that we support it completely. We have seen members of teams we compete against become ill. This virus has shown that being involved in football offers no immunity. To our rival clubs and individuals who are affected and to those who later will become so, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

    None of us know in this moment what the final outcome will be, but as a team we have to have belief that the authorities make decisions based on sound judgement and morality.

    Yes, I am the manager of this team and club and therefore carry a leadership responsibility with regards to our future on the pitch. But I think in the present moment, with so many people around our city, the region, the country and the world facing anxiety and uncertainty, it would be entirely wrong to speak about anything other than advising people to follow expert advice and look after themselves and each other.

    The message from the team to our supporters is only about your well-being. Put your health first. Don’t take any risk. Think about the vulnerable in our society and act where possible with compassion for them.

    Please look after yourselves and look out for each other.

    You’ll Never Walk Alone,
    Jürgen

    Class act. It comes over quite clearly, that he cares deeply for the welfare of his players and
    the Reds supporters.

    He is a top man I wish there were a lot more as honest and down to earth as he is.

    It's not just what he says but the way he says it. I'd like that response as a Liverpool fans. Better than Lennon's whinging on about how Celtic must be awarded the tithe.

    He does everyone a disservice with every remark.

    That's a fair point Helen and Lennon's remarks do seem a bit off. I just think the constant praise klopp receives for being such a great guy is a bit over the top. Maybe it's because I have two Liverpool supporting mates so I never hear the end of it!
