Breaking:
Man City WITHDRAW from race for £126m Florian Wirtz over soaring fees - leaving Liverpool and Bayern Munich to battle it out for Germany star.
Stay tuned.

He's already agreed terms with bayern and even if he hadn't he's way too expensive for our club, move on.
2.) 19 May 2025 15:50:23
Guardiola doesn't want to be "One Hundred and SIXTEEN charges and counting"
3.) 19 May 2025 15:54:28
Screams they've been rejected and this is PR to safe face. "We walked away"
4.) 19 May 2025 15:56:15

Last time city pulled out of a transfer like this that we was interested in, they said it was because of the fees involved and wasn't worth the value was with Virg and that was because Virg had already told them he was only interested in us. Think this could be the same, he's told them it's us or Munich. Obviously I'm just guessing here an still think he's going Munich but hope I'm wrong.
6.) 19 May 2025 16:11:36
Interesting stuff, Oli mate! we stand a chance, of course we do. It's looking very likely he ends up at Bayern but until something is signed, who really knows? we can dream.
7.) 19 May 2025 16:16:40
The reason given for City withdrawing is the staggering fees involved, not just the transfer but the wages and add ons. If it's too rich for City than realistically we're not in the race lads.
8.) 19 May 2025 16:26:57
All a bargaining tool being used against Bayern.
9.) 19 May 2025 16:28:41
To be fair, I think City have history of walking away where they don't see value. They have done it before a couple of times in the past from memory.
10.) 19 May 2025 16:48:56
Man City gave Haaland what a 9 year contract on over 500k a week, there is no way they would walk away over finances, it's clear he has said no.
11.) 19 May 2025 17:02:58
Don't forget that they have already spent nearly £200M this year.
12.) 19 May 2025 17:45:17
OP @olired may be they know that he is going to bayern so why waste time thus moving to the next target.
We will see if liverpool is really serious about him or not. I still think we should buy a top quality striker first by spending maximum budget.
13.) 19 May 2025 18:06:36
City saying they don’t see value is laughable when you consider what they paid for Grealish! Having said that you would imagine in reality that city need a few players in as there squad is aging similar to how we walked away from the Bellingham transfer. Bit of a coin toss here with Liverpool and Bayern, Leverkusen clearly won’t want to sell to there rival however if they pony up the money and the player pushes then there is little Leverkusen can do. The fact that Wirtz met with Liverpool and comments made from Munich’s top brass recently suggest this is a genuine shoot out for the signing so let’s all see…not sure where he plays for us if I’m honest?
14.) 19 May 2025 18:13:26
Would you want to work under micro-managing, poor loser Pep?
09 Dec 2024 16:22:57
Looks like Coote just got his Walking papers from the PGMOL.
Can anyone confirm this?
{Ed025's Note - yes its true..
1.) 09 Dec 2024 16:48:19
Easy to find his way out the building. He’s good at following lines….
2.) 09 Dec 2024 17:01:14
Good riddance the cheating barsteward.
3.) 09 Dec 2024 17:48:23
Next up, Var offials from the Spurs match, following their jolly to SA to 'officiate' the week before THAT game.
4.) 09 Dec 2024 17:52:31
It's good to see the PGMOL act promptly in dealing with what I'm sure is a completely isolated incidence of a referee behaving inappropriately and being biased against clubs who's games he officiated despite them all claiming to support Third Lanark.
Now excuse me, I have to go paint my house with some lovely white wash.
5.) 10 Dec 2024 05:44:53
@Vango.
Honest question here mate, you've mentioned a couple of times about the Spurs vs Chelsea officials officiating in UAE before the London Derby. I'm interested to know why you keep bringing this up mate, especially for this game.
6.) 10 Dec 2024 07:08:52
JLC-I was referring to our game Vs Spurs last season, where thre VAR officials, who gave the most ridiculous decisions (Diaz goal etc), who had just been to SA to officiate a game in their farmers league.
Bear in mind Arab owners/ sports washing knows no bounds, and what with barcelona already having been caught paying refs off for a decade, we can no longer call it conspiracy.
28 Apr 2022 10:00:46
Guys, just seen that LFC and Klopp are in negotiations for a contract extension beyond 2024 Can anyone confirm this? It came from Paul Joyce apparently.
{Ed002's Note - Michael Edwards has said that the club would look to persuade Klopp not to leave at the end of his contract.}
1.) 28 Apr 2022 10:06:49
I hope it happens. Would be the biggest signing in decades.
2.) 28 Apr 2022 10:15:23
Looks true his agent was at the game last night to speak with FSG afterwards. Best signing we will make if it happens.
{Ed002's Note - FSG?}
3.) 28 Apr 2022 10:28:03
Best news possible…. It’s really the biggest piece of the jigsaw…. Really hope he does extend his contract.
Only thing left then will be to extend the Kop … I know there are infrastructure issues but surely there is some way to do it?
{Ed002's Note - There is no way around the infrastructure issues and the huge additional costs the club would face from the Council.}
4.) 28 Apr 2022 10:32:46
Assuming he meant Mike Gordon Ed he was at the game last night to maybe try and convince him to stay longer.
{Ed002's Note - That is not how contract discussions are dealt with. Whilst both may well have been at the game there would not be such discussions after the match.}
5.) 28 Apr 2022 11:57:07
This could be the fastest negotiation in history:
FSG: What do you want Jurgen?
Klopp: Lifetime contract, £500k a week and free teeth whitening.
FSG: Here you go, we have one ready prepared.
Klopp: [whilst signing] So, shall we take Mo to Pret to get his sorted next?
6.) 28 Apr 2022 12:04:47
This would the best signing ever! ðŸ™ðŸ¼ðŸ™ðŸ¼ðŸ™ðŸ¼.
7.) 28 Apr 2022 12:09:39
Possibly they were just meeting up for a pint after the match Ed02?
{Ed002's Note - Seems most likely - or pehaps they met during the day?}
8.) 28 Apr 2022 13:56:32
Please God, he signs an extension. ðŸ™ðŸ»
This would be the best news ever.
The thought of him leaving doesn’t even bare thinking about.
YNWA.
9.) 28 Apr 2022 14:13:03
This would be fantastic. I’m not sure Klopp could do elsewhere what he’s done with Liverpool. Other clubs at his elite level simply wouldn’t afford him the time to deliver what he was granted here. Hopefully he knows that and will give us an extra 2/ 3years before retiring or taking over the German national team?
{Ed0666's Note - every club in world football would give him 2 years he’s Jurgeun F’ckin Klopp!!!
10.) 28 Apr 2022 14:37:25
But where would he go Ed0666 that’s the issue? Do you see him at Barcelona or Real because surely they are the only teams at or around our level? I don’t see him at PSG and none of the Italian clubs are that great at the moment. Doubt he’d go to Bayern really.
I’m in no way questioning the man, he’s a hero, but where is a logical step up from here? May as well carry on the good work here after bringing in the likes of Konate and Diaz to make the squad a bit younger.
{Ed0666's Note - who cares mate he’s signed a 2 year extension!! I’m
So f’ckin happy 😂😂😂
11.) 28 Apr 2022 14:58:13
He and all his assistants HAVE signed 2-year extensions! Expect an announcement soon.
12.) 28 Apr 2022 15:18:50
As long as my old mate Bobby Smythe is alive and living in Skerries Road, The Kop or Kenny Dalglish stands will not be extended. He's as Blue as his language.
13.) 28 Apr 2022 16:29:47
Wants Backing on signings, wanting Mane and Salah sorting, backroom staying on, option for longer, best contract negotiation i've seen.
14.) 28 Apr 2022 17:01:50
I bet the statue company are p. ed 😂.
15.) 28 Apr 2022 18:45:02
Clearly Klopp has an affection for pit ponies, dead dogs, flat caps and smog.
Best news ever!
16.) 29 Apr 2022 03:09:32
Well, wherever they met it looks like they are on the same page Ed02 - that might have been the shortest contract negotiation in the history of the sport.
{Ed002's Note - I have no idea how long it has taken to reach agreement.}

There's something I have been thinking about a lot since we clinched the league vs Spurs and all the celebrations and release of joy and pure emotion that followed from that game all the way to the end of the parade.
After seeing all these scenes, I came to the conclusion that when the title was won in 19/ 20 and had we celebrated in the exact same manner, it would have granted us what we all know as "closure". As in, we would have put that 30 year title drought well and truly away in our memories had we celebrated it like we did this one in seasons to come, we don't have to look back and think we missed out on celebrating such an occasion.
Which (and this is my main point) would have stood us in good stead to fully attack the next season with a fresh mind without having to look back at what might have been had we celebrated that momentous occasion. Hence IMO, this lack of "closure" literally haunted us in the seasons to come where we got close (really close in that Quad season, for sure) close to winning it again and fell short due to multiple circumstances.
So in essence, that lockdown season did not only screw us in that moment as it did not allow us to celebrate it as a family which would have brought said closure, it screwed that Klopp team (emotionally and mentally) after 19/ 20 season and may have contributed. It is only now do I realise that we may have been looking in the rare view mirror looking at the celebration we missed out on throughout those seasons we come close after 19/ 20. Really unlucky, IMO. Now the great thing is that we NEVER stopped believing we could win the title again. Not in the slightest. Klopp, Slot, our legends and the fans always believed it would be our year during those years that followed 19/ 20. And we got our just rewards in the end.
So my fellow reads, I guess my message is that with the way we celebrated no. 20 and continue to do so (just got my LFC Champions merch, btw), I hope it provides us all the closure I think we need. Where we can at long last put all the memories of such incredible scenes of celebrations and pure joy, store them in our hearts and minds for decades to come, all while we prepare with a fresh mind, heart and soul with the focus, desire and determination to propel our boys towards going potentially back to back next season and (who know? ) more.
YNWA!
1.) 16 Jun 2025 10:35:58
Oli, there was still a lot of celebrating in 2020 despite the restrictions.
I don't really get the 'closure' thing either. Last season, before we'd even clinched the title, fans were already looking at next season and what we should be doing.
Fans will always want more. You only have to look at this transfer window. We look set to sign Wirtz but fans want it done yesterday and Cherki, as well.
2020 was strange but I enjoyed it and celebrated in my own way because it was the first one in thirty years.
Winning it was the most important thing to me.
2.) 16 Jun 2025 11:39:40
Rigsby, thanks for chiming in. Those celebrations (I did too, btw) were nothing like what we have been witnessing since Spurs. Not even close at any level. Of course there were celebrations in 19/ 20 BUT they were restricted and in some cases, people broke lockdown rules to do it. Nothing like that happened now so the comparison is a bit wierd.
Also, you're talking about transfer windows and all all that which misses the point completely. My idea of closure has a lot more to do with the emotional and psychological sides of the topic of closure whereby, we were not able to fully celebrate breaking our title drought, realising in real time how huge of an achievement (esp. in the way we dominated that season from start to finish), and letting ourselves go emotionally and etc. and that could have handicapped us on a mental level the seasons after
On the contrary, winning it this season allowed us to do ALL of that hence, we can park all our memories into our hearts and mind and then, we go afresh and go again with a fresh mind and NO regrets cos like you said, fans always want more. Once again, thanks for your response as I wanted to start a convo. about this theory.
3.) 16 Jun 2025 12:26:03
2020 was relief that we had finally got the monkey off our back.
This season's win does feel like we can draw a line on the narrowly missed honours since 2020 under Klopp - so I get the closure feeling.
The blank slate is exciting. Especially knowing we have a couple of recent titles in the bag now and are officially back on our perch.
4.) 16 Jun 2025 12:48:47
Pelican, you prolly have explained it even better than I did in my LONG comment, lol. 2020 was a relief indeed that yeah, we don't have to carry that burden that has crippled us for 30 years anymore. However, we could never really let ourselves go emotionally and celebrate such a momentous feat as warranted (unlike this season) so there was no real drawing of the line on that immense 19/ 20 season hence, no real closure. That was my point, in general.
Now thankfully, we have no such issues. We start with a clean slate with nothing holding us fans nor the players back anymore in terms of what might have been or won. All that's over now. We're back on our perch (an I got the LFC merch to prove it, lol) and are hungry for more. Peace, my friend.
5.) 16 Jun 2025 13:07:16
Oli, I'm not comparing the celebrations. This year's was far, far bigger but I don't get the closure bit.
As FPF said, 2020 was about ending the thirty years wait. That was important to me.
Maybe I don't understand 'closure'.
Maybe I prefer more low key celebrations but I get that people wanted the parade and the party.
Maybe it's my age.
I'm glad we had the chance to do them though.
6.) 16 Jun 2025 15:18:56
Rigsby, it's okay if you don't get the closure bit. It is not about you being wrong and me being right. It is just a topic I thought of (as that is how I felt during the celebrations) and decided to bring up to see what others thought and you chimed in with a diff. perspective which is actually a good thing.
Once again, I genuinely thank you for chiming in on this topic and your perspective. Peace and Love, my friend.
7.) 16 Jun 2025 15:23:05
Whatever it is, what i hope is my personal streak will discontinue. Everything I found the jersey to be crap and didn’t buy it, we went into win the league! I love to have the merch but love is winning even more, so we shall see!

MKS, I saw the clip too. really nice touch. For me, I think Diaz is happy with staying at least for one more season cos at that point, he will have one more year left and if LFC won't extend him, he walks to get that big pay day, IMO. All parties are happy.
