The Bottom Line with Kieran Maguire: Why FSG risked wrath of Liverpool fans by joining European Super League
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.Watch and subscribe to our Blood Red videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BloodRedLiverpoolFCSign up for our Liverpool FC newsletters: https://data.reachplc.com/210734476470860Join our Blood Red podcast group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1656599847979758/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Blood Red: Has Jurgen Klopp Been Let Down By FSG?
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.Watch and subscribe to our Blood Red videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BloodRedLiverpoolFCSign up for our Liverpool FC newsletters: https://data.reachplc.com/210734476470860Join our Blood Red podcast group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1656599847979758/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Behind Enemy Lines: Liverpool's chance for Raphinha scouting mission | Leeds United's answer to Jordan Henderson
Liverpool have seven games to get themselves back into next season's Champions League tournament - and it all begins with a trip to Elland Road. So Matt Addison is joined by Leeds Live's Leeds United reporter Joe Donnohue to get the inside track on Marcelo Bielsa's side ahead of the Premier League clash. Who are the players to watch out for? Would Raphinha fit the bill as a possible summer transfer target for Jurgen Klopp? And are comparisons between the Brazilian and Mohamed Salah fair?

Blood Red: Will Jurgen Klopp admit defeat in his Thiago experiment as race for a top-four finish intensifies
Following elimination from the Champions League, Liverpool have seven Premier League games left to secure qualification for next season’s top European competition. The first of those games sees Jurgen Klopp’s Reds travel to Elland Road to take on Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United, who are fresh from a win over Manchester City. So join Matt Addison, Paul Gorst, Joe Rimmer and David Lynch to preview that match and also discuss Thiago Alcantara’s omission from the midweek draw with Real Madrid, which saw Liverpool exit the Champions League, and ponder what it could mean for the midfielder's long-term future at Anfield.
