Dysfunctional Transfers And The End For Rodgers?
Since Rodgers has taken over at Liverpool 33 first team players have been signed on a permanent basis with a total of £270.50m spent. However, no significant improvement has been made.
The first reason for this can be explained by the phrase “you have to spend to stand still”. This is best shown by Chelsea in the past two seasons.
Chelsea topped the league in 2014/15 from the first to last game week and won the competition by eight points. …
Same Old Brendan, But It’s Really FSG’s Fault
Before I start let me premise this article by saying I know its only four games into the new season. I accept there are injuries and some new players to fully settle into the squad/club. It’s early days and none of the big clubs, bar Manchester City, have had a good start and there’s a long way to go in the season.
Now that’s out of the way!
I’m all for positivity and confidence. Men who oozed confidence built our …
Main Stand's Naming Rights: Good or Bad?
It's clearly a good thing, who are we kidding?
Rumours broke in the media that Liverpool were looking to sell the naming rights for the new stand that's under construction. You'd assume this would be a positive and fans would react accordingly so but apparently it's "small time", "plastic" and "beneath a club with such history". No, really, people actually said those things. Just search Twitter. I even seen someone say we should keep 96 seats empty in memory of …
Year 4 Really is Brendan's Year 3
So much has been written and said since Liverpool's 2014/15 season petered out with the abysmal 6-1 away defeat to Stoke City that it's hard not to cover old ground.
Much of it was targeted at Brendan Rodgers and how he should pay for the disappointment by losing his job, after all Brendan had said "judge me after 3 years". That's what the man wanted and that's what has happened, in the fan base anyway.
It's clear however, that Fenway …
The Sterling sale, is this the (new) Liverpool way?
Raheem Sterling split the opinion of an already divided fan base. The divide started at the beginning of the 2014/2015 season. The belief we had in 2013/2014 was taken apart, piece by piece, as the stars of that team left, one by one, and the loss of identity happened at an alarming rate. Brendan Rodgers' tricky Reds seemed to go missing in the 2014/2015 season. Countless personnel changes in various formations and in the end Liverpool's identity was like a …
Sean O'Driscoll - Similar but Different
It's finally here. Pre-season officially began on July 6th. The 'big' news many ITK's predicted never actually arrived. Despite Callum 'credential' Wright saying a Dubai based company would buy the club they inevitably didn't. The manager wasn't replaced by a certain German. It was kind of nice how straightforward it was in the end after a summer of conspiracy theories.
The first team coaching staff got two new additions, the playing staff has been aided by the additions of James …
A GAME OF THRONES - Who will sit beside the Anfield Throne?
With Brendan Rodgers backed by FSG and secure as Liverpool Manager who is going to accompany him and who will wave goodbye. As we know there has already been two cut throat departures of backroom staff, Colin Pascoe and Mike Marsh fell victim to last season’s shortcomings. Brendan’s court is going to be a lot different come that exciting first BPL fixture, away at the Potteries. The appointment of unproven Sean O’Driscoll has caused some concern amongst fans but with …
O'Driscoll - will it work?
Fume. There is lots of it going round at the moment. The capture of Roberto Firmino reunited the fanbase and gave us all something to shout about and look forward to. Since the announcement, the ongoing pursuit of Christian Benteke has re-opened the cracks amongst fans which then firmly split open when it was announced that Sean O’Driscoll is set to be appointed the new assistant manager at Liverpool Football Club.
Since the news broke, we have seen articles, tweets …
Despite the signings | Are Liverpool in disarray?
Disarray: a state of disorganisation or untidiness.
An apt word to describe the current state of affairs at Liverpool Football Club at this moment. A disastrous season has thrown the club into a state of limbo and no one can quite predict what the owners next move will be. Obviously, we are not privy to inside information but as an outsider looking in, the uncertainty and the silence raise a myriad of questions where we desperately crave answers.
Despite agreeing …
You Decide: The Trial of Raheem Sterling
Raheem Sterling, just the mere mentioning of his name evokes a wide range of emotions from football fans all over the world, especially Liverpool fans. He's a player who now divides opinions on his talent, but seemingly unites opinion on how he's handled himself over the past six months. It's a shame just how polarising he has become amongst Liverpool fans and with some much speculation about his future, we would like to put forward the case for keeping him …
