Liverpool sacked Northern Irish boss Brendan Rodgers on Sunday night, so today we look at the former Swansea and Reading manager's most embarrassing quotes in front of the media.
From a wide selection, here are just 10 of the former Liverpool boss' funniest media moments:
1. "If you give a bad player time, he can play. If you give a good player time, he can kill you."
2. "I can categorically tell you Mario Balotelli will not be at Liverpool." The Italian signed for the club two weeks later.
3. "The problem with being a manager is it's like trying to build an aircraft while it is flying."
4. "I will leave no stone unturned in my quest – and that quest will be relentless – to try and get Liverpool back on the map again as a successful football club."
5. "What I say to the players is this: 'The crown is on your head, my friend. You are the king of your destiny.'"
6. "I've always worked along with the statistic that if you can dominate the game with the ball, you have a 79% chance of winning the game."
7. "When you've got the ball 65-70% of the time, it's a football death for the other team. We're not at that stage yet, but that's what we will get to. It's death by football. You just suck the life out of them."
8. "I've always said that you can live without water for many days, but you can't live for a second without hope."
9. "My biggest mentor is myself because I've had to study, so that's been my biggest influence."
10. Speaking on Joe Allen, Rodgers once famously said: "He's the Welsh Xavi."
