"Indeed. Perhaps a year's break out of football, but get him his coaching badges and a place on a bench. True legends only come once in a while, and his influence could have a big effect on people."
"It is an absolute must that he is given a job on the coaching staff, we can't let him go.
Only proviso is if he is furthering his outside football like his cafe/bar but even then i would offer him some sort of part time post.
YNWA Carra"
"I think he would be a great addition to to the coaching team, epsecially from a defensive perspective, knows what it takes to put your body on the line dya in day out, LFC through and through. Enjoy your retirement you deserve it."
"He's written his name into our history as a player. Now we must lay the foundations for him to do the same as a manager. We must offer him a place on our coaching staff as soon as possible!"
"absolutely gutted even though we new the time would come agree with comments such as no23 should be retired and him being captain for our last home game and finally he should defo be offered coaching position finally a great BIG THANKS TO A TRUE LEGEND THAT IS CARRA YNWA"
"Please announce plan for his tribute earlier in advances, so I can flew across the globe to farewell to the most legendary Reds in my generation. YNWA!"
"absolutely gutted carra :( but if anyone knows when to knock it on the head its gonna be you. I Don't usually comment on ere but have to this time. Legend, superstar, hero and just a great guy please stay with us though lol, Ur knees might be a bit old to play now but that brain is priceless in football and absolutely essential for LFC YNWA"

"This new just filled my eyes with tears just cant believe it i can neva imagine lfc without jamie,carra pliz give us one more season plz plz.kenyan red"
"I'll be gutted if Ayre and co. fail to persuade him to stay as a coach. And I'll be even more devastated if he ends up on the coaching staff of any club other than LFC."
"agree with you RedHH83! first our coaching staff for a couple of years, then the guidance of LFC as a manager! It will seem to you a bit strange, But I would want he shot to the top quite early!"
"We should find a way of twisting his arm maybe for one more season but he should not be allowed to drift of and out of his club with out trying to keep him in some capacity."
"Can't imagine Carragher having too much time out of football, before he joins the coaching staff, or makes an appearance on MOTD! LFC won't be the same without Carra! YNWA"
" He has been so good for lfc over the last 16 years he will get a well deserved send off.I hope they keep him at the club as i am sure he could teach the new lads a thing or two what it means to wear a Liverpool shirt.YNWA"
"Gutted that he is retiring. I think against Arsenal and City he proved he still has another season in him. However, he deserves to be able to make this choice after what he has given to the club. Have a year off but come back as defensive coach! Brendan you're going to have to a get a good replacement defender and needs to be top of list of priorities."
"If he can help i am sure he will, he is a brilliant motivator and could act as BR's right hand (or left!) either way what he can bring to the squad and young players is something like what Gary Neville does for England now-ok im speaking sacrilidge but you know what i mean"
"Just like to say thank you a true pro and role model wish you would give one more year but hope after your well earned rest you take up coaching a future lfc manager in the makeing ynwa Jamie thank you "
"Gutted.
He should go into the youth set-up as a defensive coach to get him ready for the 1st team. We win the Europa league and Carra can lift the cup(again). Good and luck and thanks!"
"I do not know how much Jamie has persevered in getting his UEFA badge however I am sure he has a coaching role to offer at Anfield unless to improve his football education he decides to find work somewhere else with an eventual return to LFC later on anyhow thank you for everything Jamie. "
"I'm really worried.. Jamie has just said 'retiring from football' and Rogers hasn't hinted at coaching!!
I think it would be wise for Mr. Rogers to let us know that Jamie has a coaching role if he's interested. I can't think of anyone who would be more of a motivator and role model for LFC's young team than Jamie Carrragher.
JFT96 Long live Carra!!.. 16 years and still a stopper!!! YNWA "
"Player-coach role with one year contract extension, maybe? .... but JC knows best what he wants, so we must all accept that and offer him our unconditional thanks for his many years of 100% service to LFC. Good luck JC - YNWA"
