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 …
Liverpool - World Cup Round of 16 Preview
Time really flies when you're having fun, and so does the 8 minutes of stoppage time when any country is trailing in the World Cup. The group stage is now all wrapped up in Qatar, and it's certainly been full of surprises. Australia, South Korea, Poland, and Morocco all surprised the world and got out of their groups, while big names Belgium, Germany, Mexico, and Uruguay are all heading home. 7 Liverpool players hopped on a flight to Qatar, all …
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)
A bright sail of a season for Pitaluga hit a serious iceberg on Tuesday, when he injured and withdrawn from the 6oth minute of Macc's loss to Runcorn Linnets on Tuesday. Shortly after that, the young Spaniard made his way back to Liverpool to undergo …
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.
This former Red passed away on the 22nd November, just a month after his 71st birthday. This is a man that came …
Potential Julian Ward Replacements: Christoph Freund
In our five-part series, we take a look at potential candidates to replace Julian Ward this summer as sporting director. Following on from Paul Mitchell our second candidate sees us stay in Europe, but move to the landlocked nation of Austria and the famous Red Bull set-up in Salzburg. It would be an ambitious move should we manage to tempt Christoph Freund to Anfield. However, the evidence suggests it’s a risk that maybe worth taking.
The 45 year-old isn’t a …
