Analysing Anfield: A sporting success but a moral failure? | FSG’s Liverpool ownership examined Apr 22, 2021

Show notes

As the dust settles on the European Super League fiasco, Josh Williams and David Alexander Hughes return with an Analysing Anfield podcast with a difference. Right now FSG’s long-term future as Liverpool’s owners is being questioned given the part principal owner John W Henry played in the despised developments for the breakaway competition. Henry has apologised for his actions but for many supporters this could be the beginning of the end for the Boston-based group. But while support is currently in short supply, would Liverpool be better off without FSG from a sporting perspective? It’s a difficult balancing act that Josh and Dave examine before turning their attentions back to the actual football, which thankfully means something again after the Super League proposals collapsed. Reviewing the draw at Leeds United, and the race for the top four, they finish the podcast by previewing Saturday’s visit of Newcastle United to Anfield.

Liverpool.com Podcast: John Henry backtracks then apologises as Super League scrapped – but what now for FSG, fans and football? Apr 21, 2021

Show notes

Liverpool owner John W Henry has apologised to fans for his part in the European Super League proposals after they were scrapped amidst significant backlash. So the morning after the night before, Dan Morgan is joined by Joel Rabinowitz, Matt Addison and David Lynch as the Liverpool.com Podcast reacts to the news and reflects on a remarkable 48 hours in which the future football came under threat. But what happens next? For Henry and FSG, is there a way that they can recover from the damage they have caused? And if not, how should fans respond and where should their anger be directed? The European Super League might well be over, but the implications and impacts for the future of Liverpool and their owners might only just be beginning.

The Bottom Line with Kieran Maguire: Why FSG risked wrath of Liverpool fans by joining European Super League Apr 20, 2021

Show notes

The European Super League looks like it is collapsing before our eyes tonight. But earlier today, for the second episode of The Bottom Line, Matt Addison and Dave Powell spoke to football finance expert Kieran Maguire to understand why FSG have signed up to the controversial competition. The plans for the breakaway league have been slated in almost all quarters since they were unveiled on Sunday - with the European game thrown into turmoil. It now appears like the proposals will not be forced through. But this podcast with Kieran remains a revealing listen. From TV rights and transfers to Nike and sponsors, every aspect of Liverpool FC and the wider top-level game would be impacted if the Super League came to fruition, with the only positive being the additional lining of the pockets for the owners of the 12 clubs involved.

Blood Red: Has Jurgen Klopp Been Let Down By FSG? Apr 20, 2021

Show notes

Liverpool drew 1-1 with Leeds United in the Premier League last night - but after the proposals surrounding the European Super League (ESL), does it even matter? So for the latest Blood Red podcast, Matt Addison is joined by Theo Squires and Kai Delaney to discuss the game, including debating whether or not Liverpool should sign Ozan Kabak on a permanent deal for his £18m clause come the summer, but there are clearly more pressing issues to be resolved before then. Jurgen Klopp and James Milner were both as strong as they could be on the ESL in their post-match interviews, before Pep Guardiola added his weight to be debate today. And with Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson also reportedly organising a captain's meeting between the Premier League skippers to share and voice any concerns, the panel commend his actions and discuss what FSG must do next.
