Jurgen Klopp was one of the first people to congratulate Liverpool Women on their promotion back to the Women's Super League.
The Reds sealed the Championship title with two games to spare after a 4-2 victory over Bristol City.
Klopp's players have also been supportive. Jordan Henderson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson all took to Twitter to praise Matt Beard and his squad on their success.
But the fortunes of the men and women's team could not have been more stark in the last two years, something Klopp was keen to highlight when he sent his congratulations to Beard and his players.
At the start of June 2020, the women's team were relegated to the Championship on points per game following the curtailment of the 2019-2020 season due to Covid-19. A few weeks later, Klopp lifted the Premier League trophy, ending the club's 30-year wait for a top-flight title.
Liverpool may claim 'You'll Never Walk Alone' but the women's team felt abandoned and their neglect raised questions of the club's owners. It was not just their relegation that hurt, but the way they had been treated. Stories of a lack of resources, poor facilities and inadequate housing are just a few of the issues reported at the club in the last five years.
On Monday, Klopp acknowledged Liverpool has been far from a shining example of how to run and support a women's team. He even urged the board to make sure they do not let history repeat itself.
'Liverpool was not in the last years famous for treating or dealing with the women's football outstandingly well,' he said. 'They didn't go down to the Championship for no reason.
'But now they are back and we need to make sure that we do use that situation. I met a lot of the girls in the last two or three months for different reasons, we did wonderful things together with Meikayla [Moore] for LGBT and then I spoke to others and it was really nice.
'It is a wonderful team, great coach and I'm really happy for them to get promoted.'
Liverpool had won back-to-back WSL titles not long before Klopp arrived at Anfield in 2015.
Beard had been in charge for both successes but left for America in September 2015, a month before Klopp's appointment.
Following Beard's departure, Liverpool Women gradually declined. The likes of Manchester City and Chelsea began to invest more while the Reds stagnated. The arrival of Manchester United was perhaps the turning point.
When the Red Devils entered the Championship in 2018, several Liverpool players left to join Casey Stoney's new team. It spoke volumes that players were prepared to drop down a division for a seemingly better deal.
Neil Redfearn had been appointed manager during this exodus and was tasked with a huge rebuild. But in less than three months and just two competitive games in charge, Redfearn resigned. It was thought the former Leeds boss had become disillusioned with the club's commitment to the women's set-up.
Chris Kirkland was appointed caretaker boss before assistant manager Vicky Jepson got the job permanently in October 2018.
Jepson did her best with the resources she was given but the women's team was allowed to drift. The club seemed content with mid-table finishes but failed to recognise that other clubs around them were strengthening.
There seemed to be no ambition from the board to advance the women's team. They played their first league game at Anfield in November 2019, which could have been a turning point. But a 1-0 defeat to Merseyside rivals Everton showed just how far they had slipped on the pitch. The playing squad was not good enough. They won just once before the season was brought to a halt by Covid.
The expectation was that Liverpool would bounce straight back up to the top flight at the first time of asking, but it was not so easy.
Leicester, who had recently turned full-time, won the division at a canter. The Reds finished third, 11 points behind the Foxes, with part-time Durham in second.
Again, questions were asked of the board. Jepson had been sacked in January but the timing of her departure was odd, given it came just five days before an important clash with Leicester.
Had Liverpool won, they would have been five points behind the league leaders. But with the team in disarray, they were beaten 2-1 and found themselves 11 points adrift - their season effectively over. Amber Whiteley was placed in interim charge for the remainder of the campaign.
After another season of disappointment, the board knew they had to get things right with their next managerial appointment. Beard was clearly the man they wanted, but they had to wait for him to finish his stint at Bristol City, where he had been covering for Tanya Oxtoby during her maternity leave.
It was a risk for Beard to come back. There was no room for error but talks with Susan Black, who had recently become the CEO of the women's team, convinced him it was one worth taking.
Beard was allowed to sign eight new players, many of whom he had worked with before at West Ham and Bristol. He also brought in Russ Fraser as the club's first managing director. The pair had worked together at West Ham and Fraser had helped oversee Leicester's move to professionalism.
This signalled a change in attitude. The club had brought in a manager with a history of success and backed him, though it was not a straightforward start.
Liverpool lost their first game of the season against the ambitious London City Lionesses. That, however, is their only defeat of the season so far as an unbeaten 19-game run followed.
The signings of Leanne Kiernan, Jasmine Matthews and Megan Campbell proved shrewd and the January addition of forward Katie Stengel was also crucial. Just a point was needed against Bristol on Sunday but the Reds sealed promotion in style.
The task now, as Klopp alluded to on Monday, is building on the foundations that are in place. There are still questions over where the team's long-term future lies.
Liverpool still play their matches at Prenton Park, the home of League Two club Tranmere Rovers. They also share their Solar Campus training centre. In the past there have been issues over the playing surface at Prenton Park but this has improved drastically in the last year.
The issue of the training ground remains, however. Chelsea, City, United, Arsenal, Everton, Tottenham and Reading all share training grounds with their men's team. Leicester moved into the old training ground vacated by the men's team at the end of 2020. West Ham have their own facility while Brighton built a multi-million pound extension to their men's site especially for their women's team.
Liverpool's home of Kirkby is more than big enough to house the women's team and it is the obvious next step for them to make that their base.
The long-term goal should be a move to a new stadium that is closer to Anfield. It has worked for Manchester City.
Their Academy stadium is opposite the Etihad and its central location makes it convenient for fans. Prenton Park is a decent size but its location is less than ideal.
Liverpool now have the chance to rebuild their status in the women's game. Next season will be a case of ensuring they remain in the WSL but a club of the Reds' size should be looking to get back to competing at the top end of the table sooner rather than later.
'We've got plans in place, not just for this year but we've got three and five year plans in place that we're all working towards,' Beard said on Sunday.
'It's not an easy division to go back into but I do think we've got a good group of people here. Our aim and ambition is to be sensible, to consolidate ourselves in the division then progress year on year.'
