A few years back now, I entertained the idea that football could soon follow American sports by essentially getting rid of transfer fees. With more and more players looking to move on free transfers, the next logical step was either inserting reasonable release clauses into every single contract or accepting that a player will...
We are already well aware that recent social distancing measures are taken the world of sports by storm. While both teams and players alike have been severely impacted, we need to keep in mind that every organisation will react differently. In the case of Liverpool FC, the restrictions imposed in March were particularly heartbreaking....
Since returning to the Premier League, Mohamed Salah has been utterly dominant. The Liverpool No.11 has claimed back to back Golden Boot awards and when the 2019/20 campaign was paused, the Egyptian had 16 goals to his name. A third Golden Boot was unlikely but not impossible. Remarkable considering he played a large chunk...
From the death of George Floyd to Black Lives Matter protests and the unceremonious dumping of the statue of Edward Colston into the Bristol docks, events across the world have put a magnifying glass up against how our society behaves when it comes to the treatment of ethnic minority groups.

Liverpool, who will lose on out on both matchday revenue -- with fans, like in every other stadium,...
This week marked the five year anniversary of James Milner's arrival at Liverpool, making the switch from Manchester City on a free transfer.
After weeks of speculation as to where the Yorkshireman would end up, it was former boss Brendan Rodgers who managed to persuade Milner to choose Anfield over any other potential destination.
While securing...
It has been a while.
With no football on the radar during the COVID-19 shutdown, Liverpool supporters have been reduced to reminiscing about lifting their ninteenth league title in July. With the Reds looking certain to win the Premier League at a canter this season after thirty years of hurt, the other positive developments for...
It’s been just over a year since Liverpool lifted their sixth Champions League title in Madrid. And it’s fair to say that it’s been an absolutely unbelievable year in a number of respects.
