Liverpool Loan Watch | Takumi Minamino's future and his Southampton form assessed Mar 27, 2021

Show notes

Liverpool sent Takumi Minamino on loan to Southampton for the remainder of the season in January, but how is he getting on so far? And what does it mean for his future? Matt Addison speaks to Hampshire Live's Southampton reporter Tom Leach and Liverpool writer David Lynch as they look into Minamino's time on the south coast, what Jurgen Klopp thinks about the Japan international, and the factors that will influence whether or not he leaves Anfield permanently this summer. Minamino has had moments in a Saints shirt to date, but the big question remains: what is his best position? That was one of the major questions that needed answering under Ralph Hasenhuttl, so are we any closer to discovering what it is?

Blood Red: Should Liverpool consider re-signing either Coutinho or Suarez? Mar 26, 2021

Show notes

With the transfer rumour mill in full swing, on Blood Red we discuss the hypothetical possibility of re-signing two of Liverpool recent greats, Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho. Both players are rumoured to be available for transfer in the upcoming summer transfer window, so who would be most suited to an Anfield return? Guy Clarke is joined by David Lynch, Matt Addison and Marcus Banks to debate the pros and cons to any possible moves. And with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane both set for AFCON duties during the 2021/22 season, Jurgen Klopp could well be in the market for a forward. But what about a new midfielder? Aaron Ramsey, formerly of Arsenal and now of Juventus, has been linked with Liverpool. So the panel discuss that speculation, too.

The Bottom Line: LeBron James, Gerry Cardinale and what $750m investment into FSG means for Liverpool Mar 24, 2021

Show notes

Welcome to a brand new show on the Blood Red podcast channel, which we’re tentatively calling ‘The Bottom Line’. Why ‘The Bottom Line’? Because this podcast is all about football finances – and Liverpool Football Club’s in particular. The Liverpool ECHO now has a dedicated business of football writer, Dave Powell, and we will be calling on him, plus special guests, to give our listeners an understanding of what’s going on off the pitch at Anfield and elsewhere. To kick us off, Paul Wheelock talks to Dave about two big stories that have emerged this week involving basketball superstar LeBron James and an investment firm called RedBird Capital Partners that is fronted by financier Gerry Cardinale. James (1%) and RedBird (10%) are buying stakes in the owners of Liverpool FC, Fenway Sports Group. So what does it mean for the Premier League champions? Dave discusses that, as well as touching on FSG’s approach to running the Reds; the impact, if any, that missing out on Champions League football will have, and what supporters can expect when the club’s latest financial accounts are released. Hope you enjoy the podcast and if there’s anything you would like us to cover on future shows, please get in touch with @_DavePowell and @PaulWheelock on Twitter.

Blood Red: Gini to Barca, Xabi to Gladbach, and why does Salah get treated differently to Kane? Mar 22, 2021

Show notes

Matt Addison, Sean Bradbury and debutant Mark Wakefield join host Guy Clarke for the Blood Red podcast as they talk Gini Wijnaldum, Xabi Alonso, and Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane. A report over the weekend stated that Wijnaldum has agreed to move to Barcelona once his Liverpool contract expires in the summer. So the panel react to that news, look at the legacy the Dutch midfielder would leave behind, and look at how Jurgen Klopp would go about replacing his ‘quiet leader’. Talk then turns to Alonso, who is set to take over Borussia Monchengladbach after Marco Rose departs for Borussia Dortmund. It’s a great move for the former Reds favourite – and could it help him to one day become the manager at Anfield? The panel discuss that prospect before rounding off the podcast by examining the differing reactions to when Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane win penalties. Enjoy.
