Thoughts on The Qatari Takeover Rumours
Rumours of a Qatar takeover is all Twitter has been abuzz with over the last few days. Well that was until Klopp’s embargo broke and Paul Joyce’s article confirming interest in Bellingham and Nunes. This story itself though shows no sign of going anywhere in the interim, especially after Sam Wallace’s article stating that bids are expected for the club in the next month or so. Any bid from Qatar seems somewhat more plausible than it did a week ago, …
Klopp Presser Embargo: Something of Note
The embargoed sections have been a bit dull in recent times let’s be honest. That’s been linked to the woeful performances and desperation for further reinforcements, but there’s been very little of note hidden ‘til late into the evening. The day before an FA Cup replay against Wolves surprisingly bucked the trend and to little surprise, it was the ultimate ‘tier one’ journalist in Paul Joyce that prompted it all. We take a look at key parts from their exchange …

FSG and Boston Globe Article: Maximum Disruption for Minimal Share?
The ownership drama surrounding Liverpool shows no sign of abating any time soon. It reached fever pitch this week on social media, when The Boston Globe released their exclusive December article. With suggestions that FSG are now leaning towards a partial sale of the club as their preferred option, it may well be the outcome that many Reds were looking for in the first place. However with everything else that’s gone on in the last few weeks, it’s starting to …

Potential Julian Ward Replacements: Cristiano Giuntoli
In the final piece of our five part series around potential replacements for Julian Ward
We finish our journey in Italy and the region of Campania. Naples is a football Mecca, closely associated with Maradona, tourism and a shady underworld culture. In the boardroom of Napoli though, envious eyes are being cast towards a sporting director whose burgeoning reputation shows no signs of slowing down. This isn’t an obvious one for many, but it should be.
Cristiano Giuntoli is not …
Potential Julian Ward Replacements: Monchi
In the fourth of our five part series around potential Julian Ward replacements we cast our eye over to Andalusia and the province of Seville. The reputation of their Sporting Director transcends La Liga and if there were any possibility for Liverpool to tempt the ultimate ‘transfer fixer’, you’d suspect it would be one they’d explore. This one seems a bit of a long shot though.
Ramón Rodríguez Verdejo (born 20 September 1968), commonly known as Monchi is known the …

Marcelo Pitaluga (Macclesfield)

David Johnson - You’ll Never Walk Alone
To look back at the history of Liverpool Football Club, it will always produce a high volume of celebrated names. The future legends of this era will one day become mythical figures spoken of to our children and grandchildren, but this past week requires more attention to the name of one of the clubs' departed heroes, David Johnson.
