    At the end of the day its all about money. And for that reason I hunt around for opinions on the internet that are free, even if I don't agree with them. I've almost literally stopped reading 'journalist articles' about football unless I'm looking for stats.


    I haven't read a newspaper for years.

    I see a match report as supporters discussing the result, the gossip appears on here and I've even stopped using Twitter - again - with the main snippets, ending up on here.

    I just read our (slightly) biased opinion (rightly) and ignore the agenda driven drivel every where else.

      Talk about our slightly biased opinion on here, I often wonder if I was watching a different game when reading some match reports as they do not reflect what I saw with my own, often neutral eyes.

        Tagged onto the end of the above article :-

        Liverpool have recruited the former Football Association chief executive, Brian Barwick, to conduct a review of the club’s media output.

        Fenway Sports Group, the American owners of the Merseyside club, intend to invest in their website and TV channel during the summer and have asked Barwick to recommend the improvements.

        The club’s owners hope to take greater control over the output and expand the global appeal of their media.

        Barwick, a lifelong Liverpool fan, will report to managing director Ian Ayre with his findings, but there will be inevitable changes once his report is concluded.

        Liverpool’s chairman, Tom Werner, would not verify Barwick’s involvement at the club, but did confirm a broad review of how their media operates was under way.

        “I am keenly interested in anything that can improve the quality of Liverpoolfc.tv and all the companion media,” said Werner. "Therefore, we are undertaking a review of these messaging services.”

        The media review is being seen many as part of another broad assessment of how Liverpool should be run in the future by Werner and principal owner John W. Henry.

        The owners are determined to ensure the global perception of the football club is restored to the way it was during its heyday.

        Recent high profile events have undoubtedly damaged Liverpool’s name beyond the sphere of its own supporter base, not least the furore regarding the Suárez affair, and the owners are anxious to learn the lessons from the whole incident.

        Werner and Henry have taken a hands-on role recently, meeting senior figures within English football in order to establish how best to reassert Liverpool’s historic influence.

        Barwick was the FA chief executive between 2005 and 2008, during which time he recruited both Steve McClaren and Fabio Capello to the England job.

        However, it is his distinguished journalism career which appears to have earned him his current role at Anfield. Barwick worked for the BBC throughout the 1980s, including as editor on Match of the Day, before becoming the controller of sport on ITV in 1998.

        He left the FA in 2008 after a breakdown in his relationship with the then FA chairman, Lord Triesman.

          A snub for Ayre then.

            I think they are pissed off at the way the whole Suarez affair was (mis)handled. Good move.
