Last week, I wrote about my concerns when it comes to the minority investment that has been made into Liverpool by a group of billionaires. The more that I think about it, the more concerned I am and the more convinced I become that too many people are sleeping on what it could mean for the long-term future of the club. In case you’re unaware, Jeff Bezos has made himself one of the richest people…
I have to admit to having been quite confused by the reaction from some quarters regarding the imminent arrival of Ronald Araújo at Anfield. The comparisons that I’ve seen to Arthur Melo, for example, don’t really stand up to any sort of scrutiny. Melo, after all, arrived with no physical fitness to speak of and managed just 13 minutes in a Red shirt before heading back to Juventus. Although…
It is impossible to talk about Liverpool at the moment without acknowledging the investment-shaped elephant in the room. It emerged last week that Amit Bhatia was putting together a consortium to purchase a minority stake in the Reds, with the Indian businessman having given up his own position at Queens Park Rangers in order to spearhead the move. Although Bhatia himself seems like a stand-up guy…
Andoni Iraola has spoken to the world’s press for the first time, officially at least, as Liverpool manager. It was a good introduction to the former Bournemouth manager, who gave off an air of calm and said all of the right things. Just as Arne Slot struggled with trying to live up to the reputation of the man that came before him, so too is Iraola very obviously not Jürgen Klopp. There was no…
As much as I hate Piers Morgan and am desperately disappointed that Arsenal’s title win means that he got to enjoy even a modicum of happiness, he used to have something in his Twitter bio that said something like, ‘one day you’re the cock of the yard, the next you’re a feather in a cap’. It was a saying about how things can change quite rapidly in life and that you need to be prepared to roll…
It has been a crazy few weeks for Liverpool FC. No sooner had the 2025-2026 campaign come to a close than links to Arne Slot’s former coach, with whom he’d worked at Feyenoord, began to be linked with a move to the Reds. That seemed to indicate that the Dutchman was staying at Anfield for the following season, only for Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards to change their minds, seemingly at the…
Yesterday was tough. Saying goodbye to Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson was far from an easy thing for Liverpool supporters to do, given the joy that the pair of them have given us all. Yes, Salah has enjoyed his moments of throwing his toys out of the pram from time to time, but that’s what you get with having one of the best players ever to play the game wearing your club’s shirt on the pitch.…
I don’t expect everyone to agree with this piece. In fact, I imagine I will get quite a bit of pushback on it. Although I don’t use Twitter anymore, articles do still get posted there for reasons that are too complicated to go into and I can already see the replies and interactions this will get when I post it there. I refuse to keep my counsel just because of mean things people will say to me on…
I was obviously delighted with the win over Crystal Palace on Saturday, but not as pleased as I was to see so many people join in the protest against the owners’ planned ticket price rises. It seemed to me that the overwhelming majority of people joined in, lifting up the yellow cards that had been organised by Spirit of Shankly and others, to send a clear message that locking in three years of…
Arne Slot is deserving of plenty of criticism this season. Some of the decisions that he’s made throughout the campaign could be described as ‘odd’ if you were being generous, ‘bad’ if you weren’t. The Dutchman has said some strange things in his press conferences from time to time and the manner in which Liverpool have struggled to get a grip of games has often seemed to be down to what the ‘Head…
