Ed's or anyone that knows, I was curious what is that armband thing that Rodgers has worn the last two games?
Also Ed02 any chance of you informing us of the bid made for Lallana?
Cheers
{Ed002's Note - I told you about the bid first thing this morning.}

Hey Eds first just want to say to you all a very happy christmas and thanks for all your hard work, also good luck over the next month.
I think one of our weakest position is RB. Maybe I'm a bit biased been Irish but I think Coleman is a great player. Now I'm not asking are Liverpool interested. Just wondering what you think of him and how you rate him.
Cheers.
{Ed002's Note - I am not one to rate players as such, but Coleman has been having a good season.}

Hi ed002 I was trying to find that information about the European leagues and teams moving off to create there own league etc, I was wondering if you already have it written out could you please paste it here, or if not could you give me some key words that would help me find it.
Thanks
{Ed002's Note - Without going in to too much detail: (a) A number of clubs take the opportunity a once or twice a year to discuss various issues including changes in rules, television rights, the power of UEFA, exploitation issues for new technology streams, etc.. These discussions, the last of which were in late August, also always turn to the possibility and structure of a breakaway pan European league. Several are ex-G14 clubs, several are not, and some clubs decline involvement in such discussions. (b) The plan is that at some point a number of clubs would break away from their national leagues and UEFA. They accept that they would be banned from all existing club competition and the players would initially be banned from all FIFA competitions as well, but know that FIFA would be looking to negotiate in any case. It would be the end of UEFA in all probability and UEFA are very aware of this. It would also result in a restructuring of many of the national leagues. (c) The clubs would renegotiate their television rights, rights of distribution via other streams etc.. (d) It remains the greatest fear of UEFA and all major national authorities that one day this will happen.
There is every likelihood that the big money from television, sponsorship etc. would go with a breakaway league. It would completely rupture the operations of UEFA and I would expect it would require national associations like the FA to restructure their leagues. Nobody wants this but it is the eventual consequence I would expect. If I had to speculate, I would think (1) you might eventually see something like five or six EPL teams leave for two-tier pan European league; (2) the Premier League would be disbanded as an organisation; (3) the FA would restructure in to two 20 team divisions with lower leagues regionalised as they were many years ago; (4) FIFA would ban all players from the breakaway teams from International football - perhaps rescinding that position to stop FIFA breaking up as well. I could also see many teams lose their professional status. I would think we are probably 10 years away from any significant move at this time.
I hold a reasonably strong view in terms of the need to restructure football in Europe in any case. For me an eventual a breakaway pan-European league would force the restructuring of many of the national leagues, possibly resulting in a British league with perhaps only a couple of professional tiers and then regionalised amateur leagues below that. Financially I do not see that so many pro sides can be sustained within the sport which, like it or not, will see more and more money going in to the highest levels of the game. Governments will ensure that grassroots sport get funding but everything in the middle (Southern, Northern, Conference, Division 2, Scottish Divisions 1-3, League of Wales) will not get the funding needed to continue on any sort of professional basis.}

So confused to what's going on at the club what happened to the money for Willian. And getting a quality left winger
We need a quality attacking player to make this a good window me thinks.

Hi eds sorry to do this to you and I know your probably just going to say RTP but if you could give me a simple yes or no answer that would be great.
If we sign Moses ilori and sahko, is that it for us this summer?
Cheers {Ed002's Note - I can't do that. I have explained what I know, but perhaps there is interest in Given that I don't know of? Perhaps Liverpool will make a bid to take Torres who is available? Maybe Liverpool will accept a bid for one of their centre backs? Perhaps Mahamadou Diarra will become a target as cover for Lucas? Lots of things can still happen.}
