Don’t Get Down over Transfer Talk

Don’t Get Down over Transfer Talk

Wimbledon. The British Grand Prix. Glastonbury. The Edinburgh Fringe Festival. All much loved and well established summer staples. For Liverpool fans, online transfer speculation can be added to that list. Once football seasons end (and occasionally before they draw to their usual disappointing conclusion for supporters of the Reds), fans’ attention diverts immediately to transfer talk. Initially, supporters assess the squad for weaknesses based on the previous nine months of frustration and heartache and identify areas of the team they …
Emre Can and Emre Could Become Liverpool's Talisman

Emre Can and Emre Could Become Liverpool's Talisman

Emre Can is arguably Liverpool’s biggest bargain in the past six years, second only to Philippe Coutinho. who was bought at a measly 8.5 million pounds, who now is easily worth 6-8 times that amount.The versatile central midfielder’s first season at Liverpool under Brendan Rodgers, saw him shift to multiple positions from centre-half, full-back, and central midfield. LFC’s own Dora The Explorer, if you may.He proved to be a solid addition in his first few months at the club, putting …
Lallana in Limbo?

Lallana in Limbo?

One of the key reasons Nivea linked up with Liverpool. Maybe. An integral part of the #Handsomepool movement the club is currently in the clutches of. Interview extraordinaire. Since signing in the Summer of 2014 Adam Lallana has managed to establish a cult like following amongst the fan base more due to his off the field work as opposed to his on the field performances. He joined the club with a £25 million price tag placed firmly on his shoulders. …
Thirty-Eight Cup Finals For Liverpool Next Season

Thirty-Eight Cup Finals For Liverpool Next Season

I’ve had a week off and it’s been lovely. I got to go back to Liverpool for a few days, see some mates and do some research for my next book, which involved me standing on a wet beach on the Wirral. I’ve been looking forward to this for a while as it’s not just a break from work that was needed. Oh, no. I needed a break from something else. See, every May I sit back in my rickety …
Media and Agents Exploiting the Liverpool Brand

Media and Agents Exploiting the Liverpool Brand

Countless Twitter debates with fans of opposing teams centre around the idea that Liverpool are no longer a big club. Historically the giant of English football, the Reds took their domestic form into Europe, conquered it five times, and have the actual trophy to prove it. The clubs C.V would stand up to examination against anybodies. However, recent times have seen an abrupt end to the dominance Liverpool had enjoyed over England, and Europe, in the 1980's. One European Cup …
The end of Liverpool?

The end of Liverpool?

Mourinho. Guardiola. Conte. Wenger. Klopp. If there was an Expendables movie for football managers, it would surely include all five of these esteemed and widely respected managers, all of whom have a history of success at the top level. Yet whilst the movement of two of the most impressive managers of recent years, in Mourinho and Guardiola, to the Premier League is a spectacle for both the neutral observer and fans of competition teams alike, it may well herald the definitive end …
Daniel Sturridge's Timely Reminder to Liverpool Fans

Daniel Sturridge's Timely Reminder to Liverpool Fans

As I write this, there are 75 days to go for the transfer window to shut, and there are Liverpool fans already writing off 2016-17 for us, citing our lack of transfer activity. That might just be acceptable though, when you consider that there is a considerable section of the fans who want the club to part ways with Daniel Sturridge. Yes. The very same Daniel Sturridge who in tandem with Luis Suarez gave us that wonderful season in 2013-14. …
Liverpool Football Club; Values and Traditions

Liverpool Football Club; Values and Traditions

Before I start everything, I’d like to say that I am not an expert in economics or business, nor am I old enough to become an expert into Liverpool’s history. But what I am is a passionate supporter who has grown to understand Liverpool Football Club, what it means to me and others alike. Liverpool FC has been linked with a sale to ludicrously rich people from the Sheikh of Dubai, boys in Singapore, to the most recent, SinoFortone. Some dudes …
Reaction to Liverpool's Fixture List

Reaction to Liverpool's Fixture List

The Premier League released the fixture list for the upcoming season on Wednesday morning. You have to play every team twice but the order in which you play these games does have an impact on your season, it's indisputable. The fixture list hasn't been too kind for Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.  There are two big blocks of games for the Reds to navigate. Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea and Premier League Champions Leicester are four of the first five fixtures then the turn …
Can Emre Be The Heir Apparent to Gerrard & Souness?

Can Emre Be The Heir Apparent to Gerrard & Souness?

Emre Can is a player who somehow divides opinion. Some think he’s overrated and others, myself included, see him as a future captain of the club. There is often talk of a lack of leadership in the team and as we know there are different types of leaders. Two of the most talked about leaders of Liverpool in my lifetime are Steven Gerrard and Graeme Souness. Souness, to my Dad’s generation is the last of a dying breed. He led …
