Tony Evans: Should We Change The Players or The Manager?

Tony Evans: Should We Change The Players or The Manager?

The winter of Jude Bellingham is over. The summer of discontent has begun. There are so many things wrong with Liverpool Football Club that it’s hard to know where to begin. Letting the Bellingham speculation get out of control was a bad mistake. Killing it off this week is another error. Rather than suggesting the money would be better spent elsewhere — it probably will be — it may have been more prudent to keep up the fallacy until Manchester …
Markus Krosche: Top CV, But Concerns If ‘Klopp’s Man’

Markus Krosche: Top CV, But Concerns If ‘Klopp’s Man’

In true Liverpool style, it’s always a name that comes from left-field when it does. There’s none more reliable than David Ornstein and his confirmation this morning that current Eintracht Frankfurt Sporting Director Markus Krosche is in the running for the same role at Anfield carries serious weight. With affairs off-the-field currently in flux and Krosche’s CV alone meaning this will be welcomed by most reds, a note of caution should be urged. Questions if he is appointed about whose …
FSG Ownership Latest: Into Last Chance Saloon

FSG Ownership Latest: Into Last Chance Saloon

Well ... you can put away all your Arabic to English converters finally as they won’t be needed anymore. After months of the loudest silence the other side of the Atlantic, FSG and more relevantly its leader John W Henry has confirmed that Liverpool Football Club is not for sale, but is discussing investment. Henry rarely speaks in public about the club and often its been under less than glorious circumstances, however the majority of reds felt in light of …
Ownership Latest: FOMO Time

Ownership Latest: FOMO Time

FOMO [Noun] informal. : fear of missing out : fear of not being included in something (such as an interesting or enjoyable activity) that others are experiencing. There is a real concern amongst most reds that with recent developments this could be the case long-term. With developments at other clubs and the lack of substantive news coming out of Anfield, there’s a real worry beginning to build whether it’s down to the rumoured lack of offers or FSG’s stance that …
FSG Ownership Rumours: Pick Your Poison

FSG Ownership Rumours: Pick Your Poison

With on the field activities reaching a new low against Wolves, reds everywhere were seeking any lift they could get. Step forward Alex Miller and his article in the Mail on Sunday around FSG and potential ownership changes. The key headline around a potential cash injection from an old name in Red Bird Capital and mention of interest from Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) won’t be what everyone’s looking for though. In a situation where no-one would be fully happy, you …
Tony Evans: No Government Should Be Able To Buy Liverpool FC - Not China, Qatar or the USA

Tony Evans: No Government Should Be Able To Buy Liverpool FC - Not China, Qatar or the USA

It comes around about once every decade. The Scouse vs. Wool, Local vs. Out-Of-Towner debate is a Liverpool staple. This time it’s got a new twist. The suggestion that the club could be bought by Qataris has added an extra wrinkle. You’re racist if you object to despots. Tuesday marked the fifteenth anniversary of the formation of Spirit of Shankly as a response to the ownership crisis caused by George Gillett and Tom Hicks. They are still fighting the good …
FSG Out - The Rise & Fall of our Controversial Owners 

FSG Out - The Rise & Fall of our Controversial Owners 

For the entirety of January, I was convinced my football club would recruit that midfielder which was desperately needed. My misguided faith in our owners (doing the right thing) has left me saddened, as I wanted to remember them for all the good they have done for this historical club. It can never be denied how they were able to modernise, restructure, grow, and bring this franchise to the very peak of modern-day football. Their success was built upon smart …
FSG: Tensions Reach an All-Time High

FSG: Tensions Reach an All-Time High

The January Transfer Window has officially slammed shut. In a painful conclusion, every one of Liverpool’s main rivals completed business before the death whereas it was clear a while ago that no-one would be heading through the doors at the AXA. Anger, frustration and bewilderment will be some of the emotions felt and expressed by many Reds and it’s understandable. As much as Liverpool need to improve on the field, it’s hard to believe that attention won’t be diverted towards …
Could Roberto De Zerbi Be The Long Term Successor To Klopp

Could Roberto De Zerbi Be The Long Term Successor To Klopp

I wrote previously how it could be a choice as to who leaves the club first, Jurgen Klopp or FSG. Given the underwhelming result against Chelsea this past weekend, I still think the big German could depart his post, certainly if results were to continue in an unsatisfactory manner. My hope is that the club’s sale process speeds up and something can be done within this January transfer window. If that does not transpire, it could make for a very …
Tony Evans: John Henry Will Not Sell to a Repressive Government or

Tony Evans: John Henry Will Not Sell to a Repressive Government or "Unsuitable" Buyer

The hysteria over a potential takeover ramped up a notch this week. Rumours of a Qatari buyout spread like wildfire. Twitter was ablaze. The only problem was that no one whose knowledge is trustworthy seemed to know anything about it. Someone who is rarely wrong on these matters texted: “There is no buyer.” The follow-up message emphasised the individual’s scepticism. They were, it said, “bemused by the entire process.” So we won’t be welcoming our new Qatari overlords. At least …
