The conversation kicks off with a lighter debate — tea. Yes, Tom gives his verdict on the great UK vs. US tea culture divide ☕

From there, we dive into his unique career path, making the transition from television and media to the world of elite sport, before unpacking what it’s like to own both the Boston Red Sox and Liverpool — and why he thinks the two clubs are so unique yet so comparable.

Naturally, Liverpool takes center stage. Tom shares his thoughts on the Premier League, the grind of competing at the very top, and why Liverpool have often had to “sell to buy” in the transfer market.

We then get into the big one: Arne Slot. Tom credits Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes for identifying Slot as Klopp’s successor, discusses what sets him apart tactically, and how his in-game flexibility is shaping a new Liverpool era ⚡️

There’s also a breakdown of Liverpool’s summer business — including the record signing of Alexander Isak — and some fascinating insight into why Marc Guéhi was almost a Red.

Finally, Tom delivers a message to Liverpool supporters.
