Ed001/ Ed002 I've seen mentioned that Liverpool are looking at Thiago Motta, Bologna FC head coach/ manager, sorry lads, this is internet bull probably I'll admit and it's not a random name that I've thrown up, of course I know nothing about him only his playing days.
{Ed002's Note - Thiago Motta (C) MIlan and Juventus are showing some interest in taking Motta in the summer as his coaching career has been picking up and he is well thought of. Will perhaps be considered by former club Barcelona, but they certainly have preferred choices but could look to integrate him in to the larger coaching set up they are planning. There has been no approach by Manchester United or Liverpool that I am aware of.}
1.) 31 Mar 2024 12:29:03
With Liverpool, Barcelona and Bayern Munich needing a manger in summer. Possibly Chelsea and Man United.
It’s going to be a crazy summer this. We need it sorting before the euros.
2.) 31 Mar 2024 13:59:31
Motta is doing a great job. On the cusp of qualifying for european nights with a small budget. Wife is from Bologna so we watch many games. Motta sadly won't be there long as surely someone will pluck him soon.
10 Jun 2023 11:50:16
Benjamin Pavard Is name being touted to be on Liverpool's radar Ed's and yep you've guessed its all over twitter, you've probably answered this but can't say I can find it.
{Ed002's Note - Benjamin Pavard (CB/RB) Chelsea see Pavard as a direct replacement for Cesar Azpilicueta but with a RB already purchased for the summer they have another CB priority. The interest of Manchester United will likely not be of interest to the player who won't want to be in playing exclusively as a RB. Inter failed with an offer in January but will return in the summer. Milan have had ongoing issues with the RB position and may look to deal in the summer, something the player is open to subject to being able to play at CB as well. A wildcard option might be Barcelona or Juventus. Bayern are open to a new contract and Thomas Tuchel will not want to be looking for a replacement. Expect a new contract to now be rejected and clubs to open negotiations. If Liverpool are now interested I can only assume it is via the new Sporting Director.}
1.) 10 Jun 2023 12:29:47
Ed002 thanks so much for that in-depth reply I appreciate it mate.
2.) 10 Jun 2023 13:21:45
That would be a clever purchase. If we also added Gravenberch I would call that a good window.
3.) 10 Jun 2023 13:45:57
Acered you mean along with Thuram aswell or would you be happy with Mac Allister, Gravenberch and Pavard?
Have to admit I'd absolutely love to see Pavard come in he's the perfect player to fill in at CB/ RB or even the inverted RB/ CM role he's that good and has bag of experience.
Would personally love to add Thuram too and that window is golden.
4.) 10 Jun 2023 21:06:23
Skezza11 I don’t think Thuram arrives without Kone but those two would be great. Just can’t see that happening but we will see.
5.) 10 Jun 2023 21:35:20
So true Acered. I went for a job with a friend once and told the interviewer you hire us both or you don't get me. It's common practice.
6.) 10 Jun 2023 22:39:33
Not sure what anyone sees in Pavard. An average player that will probably not want to play second fiddle to Ibou and/ or Trent.
7.) 10 Jun 2023 23:05:25
I hope we don’t go for him. No pace, no mobility, poor attitude and a mediocre defender.
8.) 10 Jun 2023 23:07:40
@Davey, same thing happened to me one year at an audition for the Christmas pantomime. In the end they just hired me and the pantomime horse looked really weird that year.
@FPF, I agree, seems a potential purchase because we think we need a defender rather than it being the defender we might need. The only thing I can think is that they have someone lining up to buy Matip or Gomez. As we have TAA, Bradley, Ramsey, Matip and Gomez to play on the right side I don’t see the point.
9.) 10 Jun 2023 23:30:24
So in other words Matip and Gomez are better defenders VV give ya head a wobble as every player that gets associated with Liverpool are never any good give Klopp a ring give him some of your wisdom and expertise in transfers and player guidance.
10.) 10 Jun 2023 23:34:53
I personally think he’s a decent defender. Okay not the strongest or quickest, but makes up for that with intelligence. For me, not many better at the right back centre half cover/ competition.
11.) 10 Jun 2023 23:56:29
It’s the level we’re at, I think players like this will improve us.
When we get back into the champions league and back dining at the top table we need to buy the better players then.
Our mistakes can be beneficial for future success if we learn from them next time round.
12.) 11 Jun 2023 00:28:28
Don’t we have some young talented RBs?
13.) 11 Jun 2023 01:21:20
Pavard could free up Trent allowing him more time in his midfield role. gives us options and another dynamic.
14.) 11 Jun 2023 08:31:16
We do Ron but they aren’t as good because they didn’t cost £30m+.
15.) 11 Jun 2023 09:52:14
I would guess that if he signed it would be to play RCB as he is far more suited to the new system of 3 at the back when attacking than Gomez or Matip, but where is required to cover the RB space when Trent pushes into midfield.
Ibou plays this role well but can’t play every game.
16.) 11 Jun 2023 10:11:30
We were getting players like Sadio and Gini last time we were out of the Champs League, players on the way up. can't see this happening, not going to want to be cover to Ibou or trent and can't see trent going to midfield permanently. surely if we were going to sign a CB/ fullback player it would be a left sided one.
17.) 11 Jun 2023 19:34:17
Ramsay going on loan, and I would not be surprised to see Bradley have a season in the championship after his recent success.
20 Mar 2023 17:20:08
According to David Ornstein Twitter page this is his last tweet he put out a few hours back-
" As things stand, Liverpool increasingly unlikely to sign Jude Bellingham this summer. Expected price and financial power of rivals puts Liverpool hopes in doubt. Pursuit not off and no firm decisions but sense is Man City + Real Madrid in stronger position".
{Ed025's Note - exactly what ED002 told us 2 weeks ago sid..
1.) 20 Mar 2023 18:12:13
You have to laugh Ed025. Everyone in melt down over Ornstein but if they just RTFP they'd already have seen Ed002 basically say he expects Madrid to win out!
{Ed025's Note - i know MK, maybe if ornstein read these pages a bit more he could save himself a fortune on ink mate.. :)
2.) 20 Mar 2023 18:35:05
Unlike you MK most of us don’t spend their daily lives on here. It’s a forum which people should be dropping in and out at will.
{Ed025's Note - people can come on here as much or as little as they want FK, some have more free time than others mate and there is no limit on posting so why not use the site when you want?..
3.) 20 Mar 2023 18:47:48
MK I can assure you I’m not in melt down, good try though, over his tweets and true Ed025 I read that too and I personally think Man City will be his destination.
{Ed025's Note - its a 3 horse race still sid and i believe liverpool still have half a shout mate..
4.) 20 Mar 2023 19:36:22
I don't get people having melt down's about Bellingham not joining. At the price it was always going to be a long shot, with the spending power of Man City and RM, there is no clause, so Dortmund could set the price. To be honest I would rather us rebuild the team not blow out wad on one player. And for the FSG/ Klopp out people if we don't get Bellingham need to remove head from backside. I have supported LFC for 40 years, I have seen good owners, bad owners, good and bad managers. I think we are doing pretty well on both at this time - bad season or not.
5.) 20 Mar 2023 19:43:13
The only way Bellingham comes to us is if he himself wants the Liverpool move . Obviously Madrid and city are better teams than us with more money so unless the lad wants to don the famous red shirt and be a superstar in red I’d expect him to play elsewhere. Let’s hope our owners can pull something out the hat but I rather doubt it now . If we would have been up their in the league and champions league maybe but we look shot all over the pitch.
6.) 20 Mar 2023 19:46:16
Apologies for the rant. Has been building, been a long day.
7.) 20 Mar 2023 21:32:43
We won't know a thing for sure til he’s holding up a new shirt.
Fingers crossed it’ll be a red one.
8.) 20 Mar 2023 21:57:17
Ed025, did you just confirm that Ed002 is not really a rodeo clown but actually David Ornstein?
{Ed025's Note - no stone, the rodeo clown bit is true, but David does wish he was ED002 mate, he could get things right then.. :)
9.) 21 Mar 2023 10:49:20
Frode Kippers, touched a nerve there did I? Takes about 3 minutes to skim the pages for the Ed's comments as they're bright red. Don't project your laziness onto me.
Sid, if you're not one of the people in melt down my comment doesn't apply to you so stop trying to be offended ?.
10.) 21 Mar 2023 12:29:02
Doesn't matter if City and Madrid have the higher spending power, the lad wants to come here at the end of the day it's up to him too, all it takes is Liverpool to structure the deal accordingly, we also have a few U23's who could be used in part exchange.
{Ed002's Note - Dortmund are not interested in part exchange deals.}
11 Aug 2020 12:46:21
Ed’s 1 and 2,I know you’ve answered this before I think, so apologies if you have and I couldn’t find it but if you’ve time could you explain how transfer fees are worked out and where the money goes and additional monies paid after the transfer fee is agreed if there is any ie fees, taxes, agents etc
Many thanks Eds.
{Ed002's Note - It might be an apt time to explain again about the cost of transfers (excluding wages). What is paid by the buying club would typically include:
(a) Transfer fee - the big number.
(b) Any levy applied by the local FA – 5% for the Premier League.
(c) Tax due on the transfer fee – typically this will be VAT (at varying rates across Europe) some or all of which should be reclaimable.
(d) Agent fees – this may be to one or more agents (as an example, Liverpool have spent more than £100M plus VAT on agent fees over the past three years (nearly double the next highest) including £28M last season alone when only spending a tiny amount on transfers).
(e) Tax due on the agent fees – typically this is VAT at the local rate where the agent bills from – it is not reclaimable.
(f) Intermediary fees – this may be to one or more sponging leeches (what do you mean you have a super agent?) .
(g) Tax due on the Intermediary fees – typically this is VAT at the local rate where the Intermediary bills from – it is not reclaimable.
(h) Signing on fee to the player (possibly including non-reclaimable VAT if the player is VAT registered).
(i) Legal fees.
(j) VAT on legal fees which is reclaimable.
(k) Moving/relocation costs for the player.
(l) VAT on moving/relocation costs which is reclaimable.
(m) Solidarity and Training Contribututions (see below).
(n) Paying up insurance costs to the selling club (usually waived).
What is paid by the selling club would typically include:
(a) If the player is under 24 and moving between different football associations, a Solidarity contribution paid to his previous clubs responsible for his training - this is 5% of the transfer fee received (apportioned 5% of the contribution for each year from the season of his 12th birthday to the season of his 15th birthday and 10% of the contribution for each season from his 16th to 23rd birthdays). This is generally (there are exceptions) recoverable from the buying club but responsibility (that is meant to be with the buying club) can be assigned to the selling club.
(b) If the player moves to a higher category club (all clubs being categorised 1 to 4) then Training Compensation is due for the period of age 12 to 21. Compensation is due to all clubs when the player turns from amateur to professional and thereafter only when he moves from his final training club to another club. The initial training compensation is levied at the training costs associated with Category 4 clubs. The subsequent figure is agreed between the sides or tribuneral if necessary. This is generally (there are exceptions) recoverable from the buying club but responsibility (that is meant to be with the buying club) can be assigned to the selling club.
(c) Any monies owed to the player if he did not request a transfer – again this is 5% of the transfer fee received.
(d) Any monies owed to the player in terms of his contract (typically outstanding owed wages (not future wages) and bonuses).
(e) Any money contractually due to a previous club as the result of a sell-on clause.}
1.) 11 Aug 2020 13:12:13
What happens to the levy collected by the local FA? That 5% presumably adds up to a huge amount for all the transfers in the Premier league.
{Ed002's Note - The FA is a not-for-profit organisation so after taking the operating costs out the rest goes back in to the game.}
2.) 11 Aug 2020 14:47:21
ed002 how did we spend £28m on agent fees last season we only signed the young lads and Minamino. I get it when we are signing the likes of VVD and Alisson but what has that gone on.
cheers ed.
{Ed002's Note - Advisors, the slush fund, payments hanging over etc..}
3.) 11 Aug 2020 15:53:54
wow, so many variables involved. So, if we see in the news that the player is £30m, it is only the Transfer fee (the big number) and the rest of the amount can amount to a bigger figure (on top of the 30m) right?
{Ed002's Note - Of course.}
4.) 11 Aug 2020 17:57:40
This is exactly why the "net spend" nonsense Sly Sports would keep pushing during transfer windows should be ignored.
5.) 11 Aug 2020 20:13:12
Ed2 thanks so much for that in-depth answer, I appreciate it mate, oh and when supporters say “well we got him on a free transfer so he didn’t cost nothing†looks like it isn’t exactly true, as they say I suppose nothing is free.
6.) 12 Aug 2020 00:14:00
thanks for explaining so clearly Ed2. Football is big business and obviously there are many financial aspects that the general public is unaware when it comes to transactions, operating costs, etc. I just don't like how the media puts talks about it so naively in an uninformed fashion that misinforms the fans.
If running a football club was that easy, (e. g., I sell for 30 mil, ah, now i have this extra money to buy a 30 mil player), there's no need for a board, CFOs, and the like.
I do hope Liverpool gets its act together to spend less during transactions due to our poor dealings with agents, tapping up and whatever not.
7.) 12 Aug 2020 12:06:56
Ed,
I see you saying the FA is no profitable, what about the premier league and the brand does it work off the same model or is it a franchise?
{Ed002's Note - The FA is a not for profit organisation. The Premier League do make a small profit after costs (wages, prize money) are deducted and some goes to football related charities.}
06 Aug 2018 10:33:27
Leon Bailey last week said in an interview that there has been interest by Roma, Chelsea and Liverpool this summer, he also does not want to make any promises about staying with the club beyond August 9 when the transfer window closes in England
Fingers crossed then lads.
1.) 06 Aug 2018 10:42:43
Where would he fit in, we have a front three. He would want to be a regular starter.
2.) 06 Aug 2018 10:47:14
Interest could mean a Scout watching though.
3.) 06 Aug 2018 11:18:24
He will play left wing with Mane in no.10 role if it should happen I think.
4.) 06 Aug 2018 11:22:29
So Mahrez and Bernardo don't want to start! I'm sick of the idea we can't sign quality players to challenge our first team. What happens if we get injuries? What about last season when our regulars were tired and we lost vital points at West Brom and Chelsea. And YES it has something to do with Man City because they are our 'rivals'
5.) 06 Aug 2018 13:15:32
Kirby, it's not as simple as you make out. There are certain players who will go to clubs expecting to be first choice, others will be content with a lesser role. Shaqiri is happy because of his situation with Stoke. Mahrez had been desperate to leave Leicester for a couple of sessions. Other players wouldn't be ok with what those guys have been offered. Brandt famously rejected us because we couldn't offer first team football.
Yes we need a strong squad but getting a bench full of players as good as our starters is not realistic.
6.) 06 Aug 2018 13:24:12
It’s a squad game now and I think that players at top clubs have to understand that.
It’s unrealistic to think that our front 3 can play every game so we should be looking to sign similar quality to rotate. If they perform they become first choice and play more it really is that simple.
7.) 06 Aug 2018 15:17:36
There were definitely times last season when we started with the t'riffic triumvirate and in the end being able to bring one of them on, fresh when everyone else is lagging would have changed a couple of results, in my opinion. Think of the impact Salah had when he came on against Stoke and won the game for us. Rotation isn't a bad thing when done correctly. Sure, start them in the main, but having a squad of top players keeps competition for places and all players looking to impress, not just resting on their laurels.
8.) 06 Aug 2018 15:19:49
I'm not saying we need to sign anyone else, by the way. Just reiterating Kirby's and BB's points.
9.) 06 Aug 2018 17:06:14
Doh! Kirkby* (autocorrect)
10.) 07 Aug 2018 07:14:11
Has Mane signed that contract he was offered last month? If not, then Bailey interest makes sense.

de Zerbi not signing a new contract, speculation he isn't, it's written in the stars perhaps he thinks, that he will manage our beloved Liverpool, god help us.
{Ed025's Note - worst case scenario sid..
1.) 30 Mar 2024 17:15:29
Don't really want him. I just don't think he's that good.
But he deserves to be given a chance if that's what the club decide, and I will support him if he arrives.
Hope he doesn't though.
2.) 30 Mar 2024 17:51:43
It’s all very worrying. I’m not sure he’s the right man.
He might try to play a blinder tomorrow also for the audition.
3.) 30 Mar 2024 18:06:07
Not saying i want him, but this time last year he was a genius.
{Ed001's Note - no he wasn't.}
4.) 30 Mar 2024 17:43:57
Eds, is the criticism of de Zerbi that his arrogance and petty drama behind the scenes a la the brodge the reason why it's best to avoid, as opposed to the style of football?
{Ed025's Note - I just think hes an arrogant sod who thinks hes a lot better than he actually is ajb, reminds me of Mourinho when he became an arse hole and i dont think he has improved Brighton at all mate..
5.) 30 Mar 2024 18:36:53
Ed025 mate, I agree with both your posts, who would you like to see get the job, bearing in mind, it’s a bit thin on the ground for decent mangers, I’m sure all or most Liverpool supporters wanted Alonso but as we know that may not happen, of hand I can’t think of anyone.
{Ed025's Note - im the same Sid, nobody who has been mentioned seems to fit the bill mate, its a great gig for somebody but who that will be is anyones guess..
6.) 30 Mar 2024 18:52:22
Like I’ve always said, it was never fsg genius that won us stuff it was Klopps brilliance and soon as he goes we will be back to 8th.
7.) 30 Mar 2024 19:14:05
Thing about Mourinho is that he was quite entitled to that arrogance as he had the medals to back it up. De Zerbi has nothing.
{Ed025's Note - good point VV..
8.) 30 Mar 2024 19:36:23
ED025, what about Steve Bruce, Alan Pardew and Big Sam. I reckon they are your dream options for the Liverpool job.
{Ed025's Note - i really want you to get Sean Dyche Greenflash....then you would know how we feel mate.. :)
9.) 30 Mar 2024 20:36:24
What about the scotland manager then Steve Clarke could he be worth a punt then a know he was with the king but as an individual worked wonders with kilmarnock and then s outland?
10.) 30 Mar 2024 21:50:37
I’d rather we went for Rab C Nesbitt than Steve Clarke, Rabh.
11.) 30 Mar 2024 22:10:37
I’d rather have Rylan Clark VV than that man, god knows where posters pull these names from, it’ll be Benitez next or Ten Hag when Southgate gets his job.
12.) 31 Mar 2024 03:35:42
Ah he was, everyone was raving about him. he won't get our job but he will end up at a big clyb. i do think he's a talented coach. We'll get Amorim by the looks of it, seems very good! none of them are Jurgen though are they.
{Ed001's Note - no, everyone was not raving about him this time last year. It was after he had caused rifts in the Brighton squad in the January window, which led to a very public falling out with Trossard. He then spoke very publicly about things and was accused of being a liar before Trossard left to join Arsenal. If you mean some people raved about him, then yes maybe. But I certainly never did and always said he had a whiff of Silva joining Everton about him, which I still stand by. Your hyperbole is just based on a few moron pundits in the media, not on actual reality. De Zerbi is benefitting from what went on before, but he is gradually tearing it all apart with his terrible rotation policy and inability to understand how to keep his big gob shut in public.}
13.) 31 Mar 2024 03:36:14
I also, was never raving about him and haven't seen many others either. I think Ed1 is spot on, media nonsense if anything.
14.) 31 Mar 2024 03:39:30
Maybe toward devseeved it.
I’m on board with de zerbi or Amorim.
I don’t mind bit of a rough edge.
For either, they’ve both been in the game a good amount of years and with their respective clubs and budget have achieved what you would hope for imo.
Let’s go and get cracking I say. This pontificating about minor perceived indiscretions will mean we end up with no manager lol.
{Ed001's Note - maybe he deserved it? Ignorant comment that. No he did not deserve it. De Zerbi is crap, has done nothing other than take Brighton backwards and can't even pick a keeper ffs. Guy is a crackpot. I am so glad you have no say in choices at Liverpool or we would be ruined. It is not pontificating, it is called having an opinion based on understanding of a situation, rather than ignorantly making digs like you did.}
15.) 31 Mar 2024 09:11:23
DeZerbi is responsible for the shambles we are seeing on the pitch at Brighton this season. The buck stops with him, period. A genius? Who called him that? Some pundits prolly BUT that means nothing cos they called Ten Hag a genius for Utd's good season last season even after getting Seven-ed at Anfield and nearly cost them CL footie near the end. Is he still a genius now? Yeah, exactly.
I have said it before, DeZerbi benefitted from all the work Potter had done from jump. All he needed to do was make Brighton score more goals and he did do that. This season, it is now HIS team and there is no way on this earth that a manager who has NO problems getting his arse handed to him and getting battered by 3, 4 or even 5 goals is some kind of genius at any point and that he is worthy to manage at the highest level at LFC. Not in a gajillion years, mate. ALl that, is on DeZerbi, end of.
I'll keep saying it. I don't want DeZerbi anywhere near LFC and even tho I have NO clue about Amorim, he has shown that he can improve and further the careers of young players and oh yeah, WIN things with what I have gathered from those who knew him. DeZerbi is a fraud and the receipts are there, IMO.
16.) 31 Mar 2024 09:18:53
Ed 1 what do you make of fernando diniz as a coach, not saying we should go for him but he certainly has a different approach than most to coaching, do you think his ideas could catch on in the future in europe.
{Ed001's Note - no idea sorry, not got enough knowledge of him to have an opinion.}
17.) 31 Mar 2024 09:22:31
Ed002 has hinted Barcelona and Bayern want him.
So if Liverpool were in the mix his choice would be:
•Dominant German club with a huge financial advantage after a poor season
•One of the big 2 in Spain who are struggling financially and need to replace a lot of players. Also having a poor season
•Liverpool replacing a legend who won everything and has seriously competed in 4 tournaments this season.
Given those choices, I’d say we have nothing to worry about DeZerbi coming here.
18.) 31 Mar 2024 09:24:08
whats your take on Amorin Ed001?
{Ed077's Note - RTP. He's continuously answered this for the past day or 2, at least.}
19.) 31 Mar 2024 09:43:16
He believes in "relationism " rather than positional play, having his players closer to the ball for quick short passes and one two's, was managing fluminese and won the South American champions league, think the style is called joga ball, which he says is the brazilian style and brazil lost its identity by copying the european style, i wathed a couple of videos about him and i think the coach of malmo is playing that style now, would certainly make games interesting if it were to catch on.
20.) 31 Mar 2024 09:49:46
Rather Stevie G than Zerbi. I would hope the decision makers would not be foolish enough to hire him. The options are so bad what happened to good managers?
21.) 31 Mar 2024 11:54:40
What about Potter - he looked like a contender until the wheels fell off at Chelsea, although it seemed like their co-owner (or whatever he calls himself) was just going out and buying whoever was mentioned on social media. Perhaps Potter falls into the category of the right man in the wrong place at the wrong time?
I thought I’d mention him as every other living manager in the northern hemisphere seems to have been mentioned.
22.) 31 Mar 2024 12:26:12
I’ll Be l honest De Zerbi wouldn’t be my first choice to replace Klopp but what do I know and I have zero say in it.
I know as much about him as I do the other managers being linked and I’ve never seen him interviewed to see the arrogance he is accused of. In fairness though I’ve probably never heard a full interview by about 95% of premier league managers.
I’m not sure though in what world does taking a team that finished 15th twice and 9th once to 6th on their record high points Talley and to the knock outs of Europe deemed as taking them backwards.
23.) 31 Mar 2024 13:08:13
what we need is a manager who can be his own man. Not many of that kind of manager around.
24.) 31 Mar 2024 16:15:05
Potter has blown his chance of managing a top club by taking part in Todd Boehly’s flying circus and I certainly wouldn’t want him managing us as it stinks of desperation.
25.) 31 Mar 2024 20:48:07
“Stinks of desperation” - that’s a million and one times with the exaggeration thing.

Ed's and fellow reds, internet going into overdrive that de Zerbi is Liverpool's no.1 choice and Hughes is a big admirer of him, please for the love of god tell me it's not true and let me have a wonderful day, I bet even our naysayer VV would say the same thing and I'd definitely agree with him.

Sid19, nobody knows anything about anything. There was a journalist who said at the time that LFC were not going to sign another midfielder after we signed Mac10 and what happened the next day? Right out of nowhere, the link to Szoboszlai caught fire and the day after that, we signed him.
The club knows what it's doing and these ITK's don't know anything cos LFC are a tight ship that let near NOTHING out. They didn't even know Klopp was leaving till he announced it. Now they suddenly know that DeZerbi is the no. target? Right after they said it was Amorim? Mate, chill out and allow the process to play out.

Idk I see leaked lineups that are one hundred percent correct hours before every game….
3.) 21 Mar 2024 13:21:21
Have the club announced that they are in for Alonso or has that been leaked by the media.
I know the majority of the fan base have their hearts set on Alonso but this time last year we had our hearts set on Bellingham.
It’s a huge decision on who replaces Klopp because it’s pretty clear that whoever does come in has a squad that is capable of challenging for the title.
We have Vvd, Salah and Trent approaching the final 12 months of their contracts and I’d imagine them and a few of the older players wouldn’t find a season of rebuilding under a new manager appealing after the season we’re having this year.

Anything you read online right now is nonsense, trust me on that one. It's all utter bullshi*. It's a big deal for many fans so they're going to click bait us. It doesn't mean anything is true.
5.) 21 Mar 2024 14:28:15
De zerbi is now the favorite (media) because Hughes wanted him at Bournemouth after Parker was sacked.
6.) 21 Mar 2024 14:50:24
Zerbi will never manage Liverpool I doubt we are that silly.
7.) 21 Mar 2024 15:45:48
Klopp to de Zerbi. Possibly the biggest drop off a cliff the clubs had since Suarez to Lambert.
8.) 21 Mar 2024 16:23:01
Same here Bowser, wonder if we are in the same whatsapp group lol.

Absolutely Sid. 100% effort every time he stepped unto the field. Liverpool legend.
2.) 20 Jul 2023 22:35:35
Seriously quality footballer. One of the best england have ever had. Loved the guy and wish him the best. Hendo was a superb captain and leaves with everything he could possibly win. Any 1 that bashes him should go support another team.
3.) 20 Jul 2023 22:47:06
I remember rival fans back in the day saying,
"Can you imagine the sight of Jordan Henderson lifting the Premier League and the Champions League trophies? That would be legendar. Hahaha. "
And then, they woke up and their nightmares came true. Haven't stopped laughing since.
J. Hendo. Captain. Legend.
4.) 21 Jul 2023 03:07:01
Nobody (as far as I am aware) have questioned his contribution or importance to our success, or that he has been a great ambassador for our club. What people are rightfully pointing out is the hypocritical nature of being a figurehead for LBGTQ+ and anti-racism campaigns, then moving to a country with abhorrent policies related to both. It is so hypocritical and it really makes it seem like those sentiments were for marketing/ image purposes and not because of any sort of morality he had. I would feel let down if I was a part of any of those demographics and looked up to Henderson only to see him making this move. The ire is completely justified irrespective of his achievements for us.
5.) 21 Jul 2023 03:22:28
@Magico, Hendo has been excellent at Liverpool but imho he isn’t one of the best that England have ever had.
6.) 21 Jul 2023 07:01:22
For all we know he’s going to go to Saudi and wear Rainbow laces to drive change from within. Who knows? It isn’t really our concern or business. I support liverpool and he’s been a fantastic captain for the club I support. My involvement and opinions end there. Best steer clear of the politics.
7.) 21 Jul 2023 07:53:49
Been done to death Seano. It is quite possible that’s he is both a fantastic captain and a hypocrite.
8.) 21 Jul 2023 08:05:23
I’m more disappointed he’s chosen to leave one of the biggest clubs in world football to go and play for a club he probably didn’t know even existed 2 months ago.
All because of money and the fact his performances would have to merit his selection. And he chose this without even backing himself to put a marker in the sand in pre season.
He’s been a great captain for us and has won the lot.
After so long at the club he deserved to go out in front of a packed Anfield but he’s gone out with a whimper through no choice but his own.
I wish him all the best in the future and thank him for his past. I’d also advise him not to wear Rainbow laces in Saudi lol.
For me a Captain always goes down with the ship. But He chose to jump ship.
Unfortunately my season ticket membership group is paid for so I can’t support someone else so the club is stuck with me for another season.
9.) 21 Jul 2023 09:02:48
Agent: "Jordan, there are people you don't know on the internet saying they're really disappointed in you".
Jordan, whilst riding a unicorn and wearing a solid gold cowboy hat: "Oh right".
10.) 21 Jul 2023 09:12:38
Time to let it go. He is going end of story and time to move ve out.
{Ed025's Note - i agree mate..
11.) 21 Jul 2023 09:14:24
Nice one, Stuie lol.
12.) 21 Jul 2023 10:00:17
Magico - Henderson is not one of the best footballers England have ever had, nor should criticism of him earn a response such as yours.
Henderson should be admired from all around - unlike the vast majority of people, he’s made the absolute most of his talent, forging a highly successful career despite numerous setbacks early on. Great.
However, it is long overdue that Henderson is on his way. His limited quality overall means he was never going to become a 35-year old master able to outplay most even into veteran years. I, for one, am made up to see him and Fabinho, two serious underperformers in recent years and neither deserving of a place in Liverpool’s squad, out and making way for fresh ideas, quality, and vigor.
13.) 21 Jul 2023 09:33:57
Stuie brilliant ?
Agent: Hendo there’s people you don’t know on the internet saying you were a Liverpool legend.
Hendo whilst counting his cash : who the f##k is Liverpool.
14.) 21 Jul 2023 13:29:23
Excellent Stuie. I wouldn't go to the extent JK23 has gone to, but your sentiments probably portray the situation most accurately.
And anyway. Why are more and more politics and personal matters being dragged into things when judging a football player? As a football fan I feel I am entitled to judge a player, but only on the field and how he performs there. What happens after "5pm" and off the field really is none of my business, unless it contravenes laws or is criminal in nature. If he supported LGBT rights that was "optional" and his choice; nobody forced him to do it. If he's "going for money" now, at the end of career, it's his choice; he knows what he's doing. If the two things don't match up, it's life.
15.) 21 Jul 2023 15:07:45
Hendo is still 1 of the best England players and captains that are still playing. They got to euro final. more than what the rest have done since 66. he's a very able player. Maybe he wouldn't make the best 11 of say the Gerrard lampard and Scholes era but name better midfielders since then. And what did they win.
16.) 21 Jul 2023 17:08:42
He does owe us nothing and If he was going to America, another PL club, Spain, Italy etc. I'd wish him well.
But he's still done a scummy thing by agreeing to go to Saudi Arabia and nothing will change my mind on that.
03 Apr 2024 09:15:56
I’ve already asked this question
Ed001/ Ed002 I've seen mentioned that Liverpool are looking at Thiago Motta, Bologna FC head coach/ manager, sorry lads, this is internet bull probably I'll admit and it's not a random name that I've thrown up, of course I know nothing about him only his playing days.
{Ed002's Note - Thiago Motta (C) MIlan and Juventus are showing some interest in taking Motta in the summer as his coaching career has been picking up and he is well thought of. Will perhaps be considered by former club Barcelona, but they certainly have preferred choices but could look to integrate him in to the larger coaching set up they are planning. There has been no approach by Manchester United or Liverpool that I am aware of. }.
29 Mar 2024 07:58:03
What’s Andre Villas-Boas up to these days.
28 Mar 2024 22:09:56
Ed001 and Ed002 have been saying this for weeks, so either the people on this forum don’t read what they post and/ or the Paul Joyce’s of this world just copy what they post here, the Ed’s said that Leverkusen will make it hard for Alonso to leave if they win the league.
04 Aug 2023 22:38:54
He was on the bench though so I read.
{Ed014's Note - he was an unused sub
30 Jun 2023 21:37:13
Dominik Szoboszlai, welcome to Liverpool our new No.8.
30 Mar 2024 22:10:37
I’d rather have Rylan Clark VV than that man, god knows where posters pull these names from, it’ll be Benitez next or Ten Hag when Southgate gets his job.
30 Mar 2024 18:36:53
Ed025 mate, I agree with both your posts, who would you like to see get the job, bearing in mind, it’s a bit thin on the ground for decent mangers, I’m sure all or most Liverpool supporters wanted Alonso but as we know that may not happen, of hand I can’t think of anyone.
{Ed025's Note - im the same Sid, nobody who has been mentioned seems to fit the bill mate, its a great gig for somebody but who that will be is anyones guess..
29 Dec 2023 11:21:26
Great analysis Ed001,it seems to me that I could be wrong but some of the games we play looks a lot like Klopp is using his own tactics, although saying that Ed, when we play bad I’m sure nearly every poster on here would blame Lijnders, in your opinion are Liverpool still playing the Lijnders tactics and it’s slowly working or have we reverted back to Klopp’s style of football.
{Ed001's Note - I think it is a mix of both their ideas.}
