On this episode of Money Talks, host Mo Chatra is joined by Dave Hendrick for a bumper Christmas edition of the podcast to cover a period in the club's history that will have a significant effect on its future. A large number of topics are covered including: why FSG are looking to raise funds through a full or partial sale of Liverpool, what kind of model might replace the one currently operated by FSG, a look at some of the potential new investors (including HBSE), what the departure of various personnel might mean, the potential sale of Man United, financing the signings of Jude Bellingham and Enzo Fernández, plus plenty more besides.

In the latest episode of Scouser Tommies, Jim Boardman and Jay Reid pick their best-ever LFC XI to have played in a World Cup. The only rule is they had to be a Red when they played a game in FIFA’s magic money tree, so whether they were any good for their countries that summer (or winter) is another matter. Which formation do you go for, who do you leave out, and just how many amazing players don’t even qualify? Before that, there’s a quick look at what’s going on in Liverpool FC’s world right now, with some of the squad playing in a lucrative but meaningless tournament in the Middle East and the rest of the squad playing in another one just down the road.
