Here are your Liverpool evening headlines for Tuesday, March 2.
FSG and Liverpool close to new investment
Fenway Sports Group are in advanced discussions to sell 10% of their business to private equity firm, RedBird Capital Partners, who are led by American billionaire and former Goldman Sachs banker Gerry Cardinale.
According to Sportico, a deal worth around £540million is set to be concluded in the next six weeks. It is for a share in all of FSG's business interests, which include Liverpool, the Boston Red Sox, NASCAR team Roush Fenway Racing and US regional cable sports network NESN.
The news provides Liverpool fans with hope of added investment in the squad. However, as Dave Powell writes for the ECHO, while RedBird's investment will provide an injection of cash for FSG to use across its sports franchises, including Liverpool, those who expect sweeping spending sprees will be disappointed.
Powell explains: "There is the chance that FSG may be able to release more funds to aid sporting success for their teams due to the deal, but any thoughts of such investment meaning an all guns blazing assault on the transfer market this summer are likely to be met with some disappointment.
"This is investment. The idea is to increase the value of the business by further monetising the intellectual property that exists around the likes of Liverpool and the Red Sox, that in turn should translate to more money to spend for Klopp further down the line, available funds in sync with what the business actually makes and not simply throwing money away. That has seldom been the FSG way."
Carragher highlights tactical change
Jamie Carragher spotted a tactical change from Jurgen Klopp in Liverpool's win over Sheffield United on Sunday evening, one that he would like to see continued.
After four successive losses, Curtis Jones and an own goal from Kean Bryan handed Liverpool a crucial three points as they chase down a top-four finish. And Carragher explained how a tactical amendment from Klopp aided the team.
"I said that Klopp needs to tweak something, and it was different against Sheffield United, but maybe we saw signs of it in the second half against Everton," he said on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football.
"I thought they changed because Everton were doing that man-marking system. Was this something that Liverpool are going to stick with now? There was talk of Liverpool, in-possession, almost being a back three.
"You see Trent (Alexander-Arnold) with the two centre-backs, and then the opposite full-back almost covering all of the left side, with Curtis Jones near him. Mane is coming more central, like a centre-forward. They stuck with it and it will be interesting to see if they keep this going in the future."
Borini on the "best club in the world"
Fabio Borini says that Liverpool are the 'best club in the world' and that he does not regret his transfer to Merseyside, despite his troubles there.
Signed in 2012 by Brendan Rodgers, Borini scored just three goals from 38 appearances for the Reds. However, the 29-year-old now says that he does not regret the decision to sign with Liverpool.
"I missed England," the striker told Tamsaha.com when explaining why he left Roma to join the Reds just weeks after joining the Serie A club permanently from Parma. "Apart from that, Liverpool is a very good club. In fact, it is the best club in the world for me.
"In my opinion, the team with the highest number of fans in the world… You cannot easily say "No" when such clubs come to you. I had a huge shot for me and I accepted it.
He then concluded: "I had a few injuries (at Liverpool), but I enjoyed my time there."
