FSG Need To Step Up To The Plate
The time is arriving for Fenway Sports Group to make a statement. No, not one of those long, boring open letters to fans — and I’m not available to write one any more — but a message of intent sent out through action. Here comes the fabled big summer in the transfer market.
One thing that was repeated over and over in last year’s window was that Liverpool would rather keep their powder dry and wait to spend on players …
Liverpool's Last Chance: Rebuild Reds Now or Witness An Exodus
The Champions League and Premier League winning team has reached the end of it's era and this summer must mark, in earnest, the beginning of a significant rebuild of the first team squad. This is not the type of rebuild that can be done in one summer, nor should it be attempted in one summer. It will take multiple transfer windows and in all likelihood Liverpool will not be in a position to win the Premier League this season, given …
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 …
John W Henry - All Out Of Apologies
FSG (Fenway Sports Group) have had several parties ready to make very big offers in recent months but nobody was willing to reach the £4.5 billion ceiling required for John W Henry to part ways with Liverpool FC. It was Mr. Henry that made the ultimate; not unanimous, call not to entertain any offers.
He chose for FSG to remain as custodians of Liverpool FC not because he feels the club's fortunes will be stronger with his group at the …
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 …
Reds owner reflects on "emotional" year of success at club
Liverpool owner John Henry recently shared his thoughts on the club's success over the last year and how emotional it has been for all involved.
Henry and FSG will be celebrating 10 years of owning LFC come October. In that time, they've witnessed quite a lot at Anfield.
They arrived in the dark days of Roy Hodgson, appointed Brendan Rodgers after King Kenny's departure in 2012 and then hired the best coach in world football, Jürgen Klopp, in October 2015, …
Why Liverpool need to do the right thing and take Karius out of the spotlight
Martin Luther King once said that
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy”.He could very well have been talking about Loris Karius after the Champions League final. It is the biggest games that will test the measure of a man. How he copes under extreme pressure and adversity will show a lot about the strength of his …
Why FSG and Klopp Must Go...
Sorry, I didn't quite have space to write my full title: Why FSG and Klopp Must Go On as Before.
Now that I have your attention, I'm going to take you back a short while.
On the morning of August 31st, 'Liverpool Twitter' was a happy place: Liverpool were still in for Lemar and Van Dijk. Yet, predictably, the FSG Out group were circling, ready to pounce, looking for a slip-up, to prove their own misguided hypotheses right, in their …
Fresh Stint Of Swell Ayre
After ten years at the club, Ian Ayre, the oft-maligned face of Liverpool's commercial and financial departments, is to leave the club, with the glowing tributes of John W Henry and FSG ringing in his ears. The Liverpudlian will take a position with TSV 1860 Munich on an unconfirmed date in the near future and will ride his Harley-Davidson serenely out of Anfield for the final time at the end of February.
After playing what the official website has called a …
Have Liverpool FC let the Academy down?
*"Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight (I love cheap thrills) But I don't need no money as long as I can feel the beat. Cheap thrills, Yeah I love those cheap thrills..."
An acapella version of the Sia song rings out around the bathroom as he finishes his morning shave.
"John, is that you singing again?"*
Since Fenway Sports Group bought the club in 2011 they've been trying to beat the system and yet they've neglected, …
