Chelsea Could Prove the Perfect Start to Our Campaign
With the 2022/23 Premier League campaign just weeks behind us, all football fans can now start dreaming of the players their respective clubs will be signing, as they start scrolling through next seasons (just released) fixture lists. This short spell will at least give some respite to Liverpool fans who are desperate for that second signing of the summer, after the magnificent capture of Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister. I expect Khéphren Thuram to be the next through the door, in …
Heroes And Villains: My LFC Greats And Ghouls
Liverpool FC: A Tale of Heroes, Villains and Football's Fickle Nature
Unmasking The Heroes and Villains in Football's Narrative
In Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight the facially compromised Harvey Dent says, “you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” The context was a discussion about how the Romans would suspend democracy during times of war and Rachel Dawes points out that the last person appointed to this all-powerful post never relinquished his position.
Now, in the fickle world …
Liverpool Are Magic, But At The Moment Pretty Tragic
There was a sense of unfinished business when the season ended and the new fixture list underlined that. We’re less than two months away from the new campaign and the sooner the action starts again the better.
Almost everyone at the club has something to prove. Last season was seriously substandard. There were too many question marks left hanging in May for it to be a comfortable summer. Flicking through the list of fixtures there are too many that leave …
Federico Valverde could be the ultimate fix to the Reds' problems
According to reports in Spain, Liverpool are exploring a move for Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde.
For a rumoured fee of around £55million, the 25-year-old could be a valuable addition to Liverpool's engine room.
Having already captured Alexis Mac Allister for a fee of £35million, the Reds could secure two hugely talented midfielders for less than the £100million that would've been needed to stand any chance of landing Jude Bellingham.
But in this article we're going to focus solely on …
Alexander-Arnold's New Role Could Restrict Mac Allister
After the winter of Bellingham, it became the spring of Mac Allister. And, gloriously, Liverpool got their man before the summer set in properly and before the season is even over.
There are loads of reasons for the club to be satisfied. The Argentinian came cheap, he has Premier League experience and he’s won a World Cup. Bellingham has none of these attributes. But it’s not exactly strategy, is it?
They didn’t buy a midfielder 12 months ago because they …
Tony Evans: The Transfer Ultras Are Back
These are the worst two weeks of the year. The season’s over. Except it’s not. There are finals to be played — the FA Cup, the Champions League — and it doesn’t feel right when Liverpool are not involved. It’s even more galling when Manchester takes centre stage in what are two dead weeks for us.
That’s bad enough. But the transfer ultras are out again, too. It’s going to be a long 10 weeks until the new campaign starts.
…
A Season of Self Inflicted Failure
The 2022/23 Premier League season is over and Liverpool have failed to achieve even the bare minimum of finishing in the top four. The Reds finish the season in fifth place, with early eliminations from all cup competitions compounding the misery of 10 months of underperformance, poor management and lack of identity.
When last season ended in defeat by Real Madrid in the Champions League final there was a feeling of optimism. Liverpool had won two cups, they had taken …
Was Liverpool's miracle in Istanbul the greatest UCL final ever?
Liverpool is genuine royalty on the European stage. With six European cups to the club's name, there have been many famous nights in the history of the Reds. This year, however, Jurgen Klopp's side were knocked out in the round of sixteen by Real Madrid. The defeat ended their hopes of returning to Istanbul - the scene of Liverpool's fifth UEFA Champions League triumph 18 years earlier. Liverpool will not have the chance to create another unforgettable night in the …
How Europa Is a Way to Ease Players Out Of The First Team…
With Thursday night football now in our near future, our regeneration has barely begun, therefore I’ll be happy to see how new and existing pieces are moved around the board, as we bid farewell to those that eventually became mere pawns. Certain individuals still stay and fight for their previously exclusive first team shirts, which creates a situation that will need to be carefully navigated next year.
As a took a semi interested view of Thursday night’s game at Old …
Liverpool's Financial Outlook: Stable Despite Champions League Exit?
Despite the loss of Champions League football next season, Liverpool's turnover should still remain very healthy and not far off the level club will achieve for 22/23.
Revenue levels this season are likely to be in the region of £580m (slightly below last season's record £594m).
Next season, I estimate that the club's turnover will be marginally lower, at approximately £570m.
This is broken down as:
Broadcast - £210m
Commercial - £265m
Matchday - £95m
This will still be ahead …
