Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

Liverpool are just two points behind Manchester City at the top of the table after enjoying a record-equalling start to a Premier League campaign.
But what makes the Reds’ form all the more impressive is the fact they are going toe to toe with a club that, over the past decade, has blown everyone else out of the water off the pitch.
However, recent accusations have raised questions over Manchester City’s conduct, and whether they will, for the second time, fall foul of Financial Fair Play.
There have also been allegations that City and Liverpool, along with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United, have been involved in secret discussions about the creation of a European Super League.
And that report was followed by ones suggesting that Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, were looking to sell the club for north of $2billion, which were swiftly denied.
So for our latest podcast, we picked up the phone to Kieran Maguire, a lecturer in football finance at the University of Liverpool, to get his expert opinion.
We first spoke to Kieran after the Champions League final in May to find out just how much the run to Kiev was worth to the Reds.
That was an insightful listen – and so is this. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

Liverpool needed a reaction after their disappointing Champions League defeat to Red Star - and they got one this afternoon as they beat basement boys Fulham 2-0 at Anfield thanks to goals either side of half-time from Mohamed Salah and Xherdan Shaqiri.
The comfortable victory ensured the unbeaten Reds moved back to the top of the table, for a little while at least, and equalled their best ever start to a Premier League campaign.
And, in our latest Post-Game podcast, we get the view from the press box, the stands and the dugout.
The show kicks off with the thoughts of our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce before we hear from three Reds fans who have phoned in to give their verdict.
And the podcast rounds off with the full audio from Jurgen Klopp's press conference.

As disappointing as the defeat to Red Star in midweek was for Liverpool, it still has to be placed into context.
After all, their Champions League destiny remains in their own hands, and should they win at home to Fulham on Sunday they would go back to the top of the Premier League, for a couple of hours at least.
But positives are hard to come by for this weekend’s visitors Fulham.
Last season’s Championship play-off winners are rock bottom after losing their last five league matches and, with many of their summer signings failing to perform, the pressure is building on manager Slavisa Jokanovic.
So to get the inside track on the Cottagers for this Preview podcast, we speak to Ryan O’Donovan, who covers the club for the Football.London website.
Ryan explains why the wheels have fallen off after a promising start, why Jokanovic should be safe whatever happens on Sunday, and why Liverpool appear to have dodged a bullet when it comes to the player who made a surprise switch to Craven Cottage in the summer.
The second part of this podcast focuses on the Reds.
We catch up with the ECHO’s Paul Gorst, who talks the fallout from the Red Star defeat, why Xherdan Shaqiri and Naby Keita should start on Sunday, and why the game should give Jurgen Klopp’s side the chance to close the gap on Manchester City in more ways than one.
We’ll be back after the after whistle with our Post-Game podcast.
