Liverpool Challenging Premier League’s TV Rights Deal

by David on October 11, 2011

With the influx of foreign ownership in the Premier League I have been waiting for one of them to challenge the deal that Premier League TV rights are divided equally amongst the clubs. So I cannot say that I am surprised to read that Liverpool have announced they will lead a challenge for overseas TV rights to be sold on a club-by-club basis.

Liverpool’s managing director, Ian Ayre, has insisted the break-up of the established broadcasting deal, worth £3.2bn in total to all Premier League clubs for 2010?13, is “a debate that has to happen”, with the Anfield club in favour of the Spanish model that allows Barcelona and Real Madrid to negotiate individual contracts that dwarf their domestic and European rivals.

by Philip Mboya on October 5, 2011

It seems like 2 of the top 4 teams in the EPL has shelved their hopes for winning the Premier League title at least for another year as Arsenal manager Arsene Wnger becomes the latest coach to surrender the tile to the current top 3 Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea.

Athough Liverpool‘s Suarez was quoted as making the same sentiments while speaking to reporters, there is still no official word from manager Kenny Dalglish as to the ambitions of Liverpool in regards to the title. Read more... (367 words, 1 image, estimated 1:28 mins reading time)

Where Does Kenny Dalglish Play Steven Gerrard?

by David on September 23, 2011

Big welcome sight for all Liverpool fans last night against Brighton in the Carling Cup was the appearance of Steven Gerrard for the last 15 minutes. The Liverpool skipper has endured the longest lay-off of his career, stretching six months and covering 17 matches, after surgery on a niggling groin problem that had previously restricted him to just 482 minutes under Dalglish.

Gerrard instantly grasped the captain’s armband from Jamie Carragher, and his reappearance, and the win, will help rebuild confidence shaken by successive defeats at Stoke City and Tottenham Hotspur. Read more... (339 words, 1 image, estimated 1:21 mins reading time)

by David on September 5, 2011

They have two of the richest football owners in the world, so it should not be a surprise that Manchester City and Chelsea were once again the big spenders in the summer transfer market.

Manchester City spent well over 120 million euros last summer, and for the second year in a row, the club was the biggest spender, albeit only a comparitively modest 92.2 million euros this time around. Almost half of that expenditure was dedicated to one player int he form of Sergio Aguero. City also snapped up Samir Nasri, Stefan Savic and Gael Glichy, while Owen Hargreaves arrived on a free transfer on Deadline Day. Read more... (471 words, 1 image, estimated 1:53 mins reading time)

Chelsea Sign Liverpool’s Raul Meireles

by David on August 31, 2011

It would not be a transfer deadline without a surprise Liverpool and Chelsea deal. In January it was Torres going to Chelsea and this transfer window is was the sale of Raul Meireles to Chelsea for around £12m, who has signed at four-year deal with Chelsea.

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas worked briefly with the Portugal international at Porto before Meireles moved to Anfield last August. He is currently injured with a collarbone problem suffered at Exeter City in the Carling Cup.

Earlier this week, Liverpool turned down an offer of £8m plus Yossi Benayoun, but Chelsea came back with a higher bid after Spurs turned down a reported bid of £30m plus Alex for Luka Modric. Read more... (175 words, 1 image, estimated 42 secs reading time)

Liverpool Wins At Arsenal

by David on August 20, 2011

Arsenal‘s miserable start to the season went from bad to worse as they lost 2-0 at home to Liverpool.

With one eye firmly on Wedensday’s all-important Champions League qualifier in Italy against Udinese, Arsene Wenger was forced to play wantaway midfielder Samir Nasri, as injuries and suspensions have exposed the lack of depth in the Arsenal squad.

This match seemed destined to ending up a 0-0 draw until Arsenal had Emmanuel Frimpong sent off after picking up his second yellow card with 20 minutes to go. Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish immediately brought on Luis Suárez and Raul Meireles. The move worked as it was Suarez’s movement that cost the home team their first goal as Miquel’s nervy attempt in preventing the ball from reaching the Uruguayan somehow hit his own teammates, Ramsey, before bouncing into the Gunners’ net.
