If you follow me on BlueSky or have seen any of my TikTok videos, you will know that I’ve pulled no punches when it comes to Liverpool’s transfer business. The Reds have got things wrong two windows in a row in my opinion, meaning that it will take an almighty dose of luck for this season to be anything other than a transition one. I think that Jamie Carragher was exactly right that you would wait for Trent Alexander-Arnold to recover, but you don’t wait for Conor Bradley to get over the injury

Have FSG Taken Their Eyes Off the (Foot)Ball?

The reality is that Fenway Sports Group were only ever going to consider Liverpool Football Club as their second-most important asset behind the Boston Red Sox. Not only that, but they were also aware that they were getting a distressed asset, which they could turn a profit on pretty quickly without a huge amount of investment on their part. Given the fact that they bought the Reds for £300 million in 2010 and it is now valued at more than £4 billion, it is fair to say that they have achieved th

Are Liverpool Ready for the New Season?

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 in the world on the backs of his workers, repeatedly doing whatever it took in order to smash the id

The Good & the Bad From Monaco Defeat

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 Araújo has had his problems, the Uruguayan was the Barcelona captain when the 2025-2026 season came to a

Can We Take Anything From the First Pre-Season Game

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 and there was an outpouring of gratefulness from QPR supporters towards him, the people that he see

Michael Edwards Leaves & Still No New Signings

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 ‘doubters to believers’ line, nor was there a sense that the Spaniard is suddenly going to change into

Does Diomande Situation Tell Us Anything About LFC?

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 with the punches. It is something that I think we could all do with learning, not only when it comes to

Where Should Liverpool be Strengthening This Summer?

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 eleventh hour, and hand Slot his marching orders. Personally, I think that the title-winning manager was

The Season of Mitigating Circumstances

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. For Robbo, it has been a career that even he will have struggled to predict when he was being rejecte

Anfield Crowd Has Lost Its Way

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 the internet, however. I have grown increasingly tired of the attitude of some Liverpool supporters
