Blood Red podcast: How Liverpool solve their biggest problem Apr 26, 2021

Show notes

Liverpool were punished for their wastefulness in front of goal against Newcastle United as they missed countless opportunities to score before conceding a late equaliser via Joe Willock, leaving their top-four hopes hanging by a thread. And on the latest Blood Red podcast, Matt Addison is joined by Joe Rimmer and Theo Squires as they discuss the two costly dropped points against Steve Bruce’s men, and assess where that point leaves their chances of Champions League qualification.
With Jurgen Klopp only likely to have three seasons remaining at Anfield after this one, how big a blow would it be to him and his squad were they to be outside of Europe’s top competition for at least a third of that time?

The Bottom Line: European Super League mistake, what comes next for FSG, and the Champions League reforms Liverpool should be wary of Apr 25, 2021

Show notes

As the dust settles on the proposals for a European Super League, the implications for Liverpool, FSG and beyond are only just beginning. So for the latest edition of The Bottom Line podcast, Matt Addison and Dave Powell are joined by European football executive and investor, Jordan Gardner, who has roles with Swansea City and Dundalk, as well as Danish Super League side Helsingor. Discussing the plans from the point of view of a US investor, Jordan attempts to pull apart exactly why John W Henry and Co made their move. He explains why the European Super League would have been so flawed, and outlining why it would have been calamitous for those outside of the 'big six' in the Premier League, including the team he is a minority stakeholder in, Swansea, and what comes next for the clubs involved now the proposals have been quashed. There is also a chat about FSG more generally, including why 'FSG Out' is not necessarily a good stance to take, how fans could have more influence at the top level of the game, whether or not the German model of '50+1' would be a sensible legislation to bring in, and finally, the reformed Champions League structure which has been devised by UEFA.

Post-Game: Liverpool 1 Newcastle United 1 | Bad end to bad week as another late lapse leaves top-four hopes hanging in balance Apr 24, 2021

Show notes

Welcome to the Post-Game podcast to react to a bad end to a bad week. Liverpool let two points slip from their grasp in having to draw 1-1 at Leeds United on Monday night. But at that time it didn’t seem to matter so much given the spectre of the European Super League that was controversially endorsed by the club’s owners FSG. Now thanks to the actions of fans, players and managers, including Liverpool boss JUrgen Klopp and captain Jordan Henderson, plans for the breakaway league collapsed almost as quickly they had been unveiled. That meant today’s visit of Newcastle United to Anfield took on renewed significance – as victory would have taken the Reds into fourth place. But, just like against Leeds, they conceded late on, and had to settle for a 1-1 draw that means their hopes of earning a place in next season’s Champions League are now in the balance. We get the verdicts of the Liverpool ECHO’s LFC correspondent Paul Gorst, plus Reds fans Mark Baker, Mike Holt and Owen Thomas, and we hear Klopp’s post-match press conference in full.

Show notes

Listen to Jurgen Klopp's press conference in full ahead of Liverpool's visit of Newcastle United to Anfield. Inevitably it was dominated by questions over the doomed European Super League proposals and the part Liverpool's owners FSG played in them. But Klopp also talks about Newcastle, the race for the top four, and the fitness of Nat Phillips, Curtis Jones and Jordan Henderson, as well as ending online speculation that Diogo Jota had picked up an injury.

Poetry in Motion: Bravest way FSG can make things right and why Premier League and UEFA aren't the good guys in all this Apr 22, 2021

Show notes

It’s been one of the most dramatic weeks in the history of modern football and Neil Fitzmaurice is back with his must-listen Poetry in Motion podcast to get some things off his chest. But before Fitzy, Sean Bradbury and show debutant Marcus Banks get stuck into the rise and fall of the European Super League and FSG’s part in it, there’s a bit of housekeeping to do as they quickly look back on the draws with Real Madrid and Leeds United. But the majority of the pod focuses of the events of an extraordinary few days. No punches are pulled on FSG, John Henry and his apology while Fitzy is particularly keen to point out that the Premier League, UEFA, FIFA and Boris Johnson, who were all quick to jump on the Super League proposals, are not exactly paragons of virtue themselves. And a superb podcast ends with Sean and Marcus suggesting the one way Liverpool’s owners could row back some of the criticism they have brought on themselves by not consulting the fans, Jurgen Klopp and his players over the breakaway competition that brought shame on the 12 founding member clubs.
