TWO weeks ago, I wrote an article in the Independent on Sunday, detailing the problems at Liverpool under Brendan Rodgers. I realised the conclusion especially would make grim reading for Liverpool supporters. Having spoken to a lot of reliable sources before its...
ON Sunday morning, as I readied myself to be put through the wringer of the Merseyside Derby, I allowed my mind to drift to an idea for an article I had been turning over for a few weeks. Next week will mark five years since New England Sports Ventures, now Fenway...

I GOT myself into one of those ‘mini-wars’ on Twitter the other day. The type where you spew 140 characters quickly but are then forced to regret at leisure. My ire concerned news of further ‘reforms’ to UEFA’s Financial Fair Play regs, and was fuelled by...
