Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

Why are FSG reportedly planning to put the company on the stock market? And what would that mean for Liverpool FC? And why are the Reds throwing their support behind Project Big Picture? Paul Wheelock speaks to author, broadcaster and University of Liverpool lecturer Kieran Maguire to find the answers to those questions. He also asks the leading football finance expert to explain why the decision to charge £14.95 for pay-per-view matches is not the fault of Liverpool and their Premier League rival clubs. Plus, Kieran discusses a big-spending transfer window for the Reds and top-flight clubs, and ahead of FSG’s 10-year anniversary at Anfield, speculates on their long-term future.The Liverpool Echo sends a twice-daily Liverpool FC bulletin out via email with the all latest news, views and analysis from Anfield.

It’s a whistle-stop Blood Red podcast as Paul Gorst and Dan Kay join host Connor Dunn to pack in a whole host of big Liverpool talking points – starting with positive news about new boy Thiago Alcantara and captain Jordan Henderson plus early thoughts on Saturday’s Merseyside derby. We’ll have more on that on Friday’s show – and more on FSG’s 10-year anniversary as the club’s owners later this week, too. That’s still touched on, here. However, more time is dedicated to the decision from the Premier League to charge supporters £14.95 for pay-per-view matches and Liverpool’s part in the Project Big Picture plans that emerged over the weekend. Also, the panel wonder whether Harry Wilson and a number of youngsters could be departing before the domestic transfer window closes on Friday.

As we continue to chart Liverpool's historic 2000/01 treble-winning season, for the latest instalment we're joined by former Reds' goalkeeper Sander Westerveld. The Dutchman joins Guy Clarke to look back on his career at Anfield, having signed for a then-British-record transfer fee for a goalkeeper arriving from Vitesse Arnhem in the summer of 1999. Westerveld reflects on his role in the 2001 League Cup final, saving two penalties in the shoot-out against Birmingham City before talking in depth on the UEFA Cup run and FA Cup victory. He also opens up on how his time with the Reds came to an end before giving his thoughts on Alisson Becker and his understudy Adrian, having been thrust into the spotlight due to the recent injury to the Brazilian.

Roberto Firmino is perhaps the defining player of Jurgen Klopp’s five years in charge of Liverpool. But, following the 7-2 defeat at Aston Villa, the Reds’ brilliant number nine was not spared criticism. Was that fair? Maybe, maybe not. But what is clear is that Firmino – and the other members of the club’s feared front three – has real competition for his place given the impressive strides made by Takumi Minamino since the start of the new season and by the big-money arrival of Diogo Jota. The good news is that Firmino will go into the Merseyside derby next weekend on the back of a couple of morale-boosting goals for Brazil. But, having netted just once in the Premier League since January (albeit three of those months were lost to lockdown), some have suggested his place is not as secure as it once was. So Matt Addison and Theo Squires tackle the subject in the latest episode of The Agenda.The Liverpool Echo sends a twice-daily Liverpool FC bulletin out via email with the all latest news, views and analysis from Anfield.
