THERE was something about that timing, wasn’t there? Just when we (me, and everyone I know anyway) needed a bit of lift from the despair of what has unfolded in the last 24 hours, up pops Big Jürgen; a knowing look on his face, a soft smile – like he wanted to give us...
AFTER the glory of lifting European Cup number six in Madrid in June – coupled with gathering a club-record 97 points in the Premier League – many predicted Liverpool would turn to the transfer market with the star shining so brightly. Use the position of strength as...
