Fenway Sports Group to Sell Major Sports Team… Could Liverpool Be Next?

Admin - December 18, 2025 - Owners

Love them or hate them, Fenway Sports Group (FSG) are very good at what they do.

They acquire what they consider to be under-valued sports teams, invest (to a point) and then sell for a considerable profit once they have been able to instigate a marked improvement in fortunes.

It was revealed in December that FSG plan to sell the NHL franchise that they own, the Pittsburgh Penguins, to a consortium led by American entrepreneur David Hoffmann.

The price? A cool $1.7 billion (£1.27 billion).

It was back in 2021 that Fenway acquired the Penguins for £672 million, so even account for the money they have invested in the franchise, the group still walks away with a considerable profit on their ledger.

Three Liverpool Stars That Thrived at the World Cup… and Two That Flopped

There wasn’t a dry eye in the house as Andy Robertson revealed that Diogo Jota was at the forefront of his mind as Scotland qualified for the 2026 World Cup.

Jota missed the 2022 edition through injury, which was something not lost on Robbo as the Scots booked their passage to the 2026 tournament with a 4-2 win over Denmark.

Curtis Jones Breaks Champions League Passing Record… But Who is the Best Passer in Liverpool’s History?

Admin - October 23, 2025 - Players

Red Football Boots and Socks With absolutely no disrespect intended, if you were told that a Liverpool player had broken the Champions League record for best pass success rate, you probably wouldn’t have guessed that Curtis Jones was the man to do so.

But it’s true: the homegrown talent bested the previous milestone for completed passes in the Reds’ 5-1 demolition of Eintracht Frankfurt.

Liverpool Still Have the Same Number of Ballon d’Or Winners as Blackpool and Dukla Prague Following Salah Omission

Admin - September 24, 2025 - Players

Despite being one of the most prolific winners of silverware in Europe, Liverpool FC’s success still hasn’t been recognised with honours for their players on the continent.

In fact, the Reds’ haul of just one Ballon d’Or winner remains on a par with such luminaries as Blackpool and Dukla Prague.

There was hope that a second Liverpool player would be awarded the Ballon d’Or trophy in 2025, with Mo Salah having just delivered one of the all-time great seasons in European football.

But the Egyptian was once again cruelly overlooked, finishing a mind-bogglingly low fourth in the rankings.

Reds Win Latest Newcastle Classic After Injury Time Rio Ngumoha Winner

Admin - September 1, 2025 - Matches

Liverpool don’t really have a huge rivalry with Newcastle, although that could change if they can somehow pull off the Alexander Isak deal. The clubs are united by players and managers such as Kevin Keegan and Kenny Dalglish, as well as a dislike of Man United and Jordan Pickford!

But somehow there is just something a little special when the teams meet and over the years it has helped produce some truly cracking contests. The first classic happened well over 100 years ago, so there won’t be many alive today who have even heard about it from relatives who might have been at Anfield on the 4th of December 1909!

Liverpool Smash Their Own Record for Spending In a Single Transfer Window

Admin - August 21, 2025 - Finance

By the time you’re reading this, Alexander Isak may or may not be a Liverpool FC player.

The Newcastle striker is doing his best to fashion a move to Merseyside, releasing all manner of public statements which suggest that there’s no way back for him on Tyneside.

Arne Slot is interested in signing the Swede, with rumours suggesting that an initial £110 million bid was rejected. It remains to be seen whether the Reds return with an improved offer before the transfer window metaphorically slams shut.

If Isak doesn’t join, Slot may turn his attentions elsewhere – his squad does appear a little light on attacking talent ahead of a quest for more success domestically and on the continent.

All of which would increase Liverpool’s transfer spending in the summer of 2025 yet further… and that has already broken all previous records.

RIP Joey Jones: Liverpool Legend Deserves Place Amongst Club’s Greatest Ever Left Backs

Admin - July 23, 2025 - Players

It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Joey Jones in July 2025.

In many ways, he was the perfect embodiment of Liverpool FC – Jones supported the club as a boy and frequently stood on the Kop, later getting the Liverbird tattooed on his arm.

He would come through the youth ranks at Wrexham, another club at which he is revered as an icon, before switching to Liverpool in 1975 in a £115,000 deal sanctioned by Bob Paisley.

The History of Liverpool’s Record Transfer Fee: Wirtz Deal Hits New Heights

Admin - June 24, 2025 - Players

In a season full of new highs, Liverpool have broken the transfer record for a fee paid by a Premier League club.

They will shell out a cool £116 million for Florian Wirtz, with only Philippe Coutinho’s switch from Anfield to Barcelona commanding a higher fee in a deal involving a Premier League side.

By extension, the capture of the German playmaker is also a record fee paid by Liverpool, so Wirtz clearly has big boots to fill.

Three Times a Liverpool Player Has Won the Premier League Goal of the Season Award?

Admin - May 23, 2025 - Players

The secret to success in football, of course, is scoring goals… and lots of them.

So while quantity is king, there’s also plenty to be said for quality, too – football, at its best, can be something of an art form.

There’s a handful of different awards given out at the end of the campaign to anoint the scorer of the best goal; ranging from the Premier League Goal of the Season to the BBC Goal of the Season, as well as the Puskas Award.

The likes of Terry McDermott, Ray Kennedy and John Aldridge all won the BBC’s award, handed out in conjunction with Match of the Day, prior to the First Division being rebranded as the Premier League, with Dietmar Hamann, Steven Gerrard, Emre Can and Mo Salah getting the nod since the 1992/93 campaign.

But only three Liverpool players, as of the end of the 2024/25 campaign, have ever won the official Premier League Goal of the Season trophy. Can you name them?

Cristiano Ronaldo to Liverpool? Five Players the Reds Oh So Nearly Signed

If, or when, Liverpool win the Premier League title in 2024/25, it’s rather cool that Jurgen Klopp will be invited along to join the celebrations.

You may recall when the Reds last won the EPL trophy back in 2019/20. The pandemic had unfolded and so the season ended behind closed doors, meaning that no Liverpool fans were on the premises when their heroes secured the title.

And, of course, the traditional trophy parade was also prohibited.

So it’s a lovely touch for Klopp to be welcomed back; even if he’ll keep his distance from the players, you suspect, given that we’re now in the Arne Slot era.
