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...
Naby Keïta, Ibrahima Konaté and Takumi Minamino are all players that have been recruited from the RB group, either from Salzburg or Leipzig.

Once that was made impossible by the Frenchman’s move to Real Madrid, Jurgen Klopp said many times to the media that while he was...
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...
