It’s the latest edition of the First State Kopites podcast - a podcast for Liverpool fans in Delaware and friends of Liverpool fans in Delaware. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, or YouTube. Recorded May 4th, 2021 - 47 years since the Reds beat Newcastle United to win their 2nd FA Cup.
Tim has rejoined Sean and Paul as we turn our attention to some developments in Germany -
We chat about the non-happening United game and the fan protest about the Glazers:
- Many column inches, most of them seemingly quite favorable towards the protests - some seem to be specifically excusing the behaviors as justified.
- We discuss calls for solidarity among football fans, Gary Neville (again), and how much anti-American feeling is out there?
Looking to the Bundesliga:
- The impact of Bayern and the seeming lack of competitiveness
- Changes at RB Leipzig…. Nagelsmann, Jessie Marsh, Upamecano and potentially Ibrahima Konate to Anfield?
- Tim helps us navigate the 50+1 ownership rules - we note that despite this, 30% of recent revenue growth in the league has gone to Dortmund and Bayern.
