It all feels so pivotal this month. There’s not all that many games truth be told, although a replay against Wolves will likely be inserted somewhere but any break for Liverpool in recent times appears to have been of little benefit. Only seven of the first team squad went to the World Cup and...
Neil Jones has stated this week that there is potentially a list of players that the Reds will target, though only if Champions League qualification is secured this season. Failure to secure a top four finish in the Premier League (or win the European Cup) would therefore make such players unobtainable, thereby forcing Liverpool...
How was 2022 for you? The answer has to be “crap” in a general sense. From a Liverpool perspective it’s been a mixed year.
We forget quickly but the first five months were as uplifting as any period in my supporting life. The quest for the quad was special. To go into the last week...
The ownership drama surrounding Liverpool shows no sign of abating any time soon. It reached fever pitch this week on social media, when The Boston Globe released their exclusive December article. With suggestions that FSG are now leaning towards a partial sale of the club as their preferred option, it may well be the...
In the final piece of our five part series around potential replacements for Julian Ward
We finish our journey in Italy and the region of Campania. Naples is a football Mecca, closely associated with Maradona, tourism and a shady underworld culture. In the boardroom of Napoli though, envious eyes are being cast towards a sporting...

Against the backdrop of FSG putting the...
David Johnson always suffered by comparison with the man who replaced him. Over the years dozens of conversations about the great 1978-79 team have included the line, “Imagine if Rushie would have been a couple of years older.”
Johnson’s contribution to the club has too often been overlooked. He was an international-class performer and that...
With the breaking news that Julian Ward is set to step down from his position as Sporting Director at the end of the season, Liverpool were left with three major positions set to be vacant by the end of this campaign. A new club doctor and director of research (Dr Ian Graham also confirmed...
When FSG announced the club was for sale, there was a moment of surprise, a period of browsing social media, a few group message checks, and finally the wonderment of what we could become. We have been fantastically successful under our current owners, and despite the on-going grumblings of discontent, we couldn’t have won...
We haven’t even gotten into the January transfer window yet, but with any elite and proactive sporting group, forward thinking is vital for future success. Though FSG haven’t backed the big midfield redevelopment, I think we can be hopeful that the next few windows will produce more positive results.
This coming summer will see...
