I’m glad that the so-called “closed circle” journalists and content creators around Liverpool are finally being exposed.
I’ve been saying this for nearly 10 years.
It never made sense to me how almost every big Liverpool journalist, insider account, and major YouTuber always seemed to push the exact same narrative as the club. No real disagreement. No serious criticism. No uncomfortable questions. Just different people repeating the same talking points in slightly different ways.
That’s not normal.
In football, fans disagree. Former players disagree. Coaches disagree. Even within the club itself people disagree internally. That’s healthy. That’s real football culture.
So how is it possible that an entire media ecosystem around one of the biggest clubs in the world always sounds perfectly aligned whenever big decisions are made?
Whether it was ownership decisions, transfer failures, contract situations, sporting direction, or lowering standards… the pattern was always the same:
• Protect the hierarchy
• Gaslight the fans
• Frame criticism as “toxicity”
• Attack supporters who ask questions
And the moment things started collapsing on the pitch, the mask slowly began to fall.
Suddenly people are noticing what some of us noticed years ago:
Access journalism changes people.
When your career, interviews, early information, invitations, and connections depend on staying close to the club, many stop acting like journalists and start acting like PR extensions.
This doesn’t mean every journalist is corrupt or every creator is dishonest. But pretending there hasn’t been an obvious coordinated culture around Liverpool media for years is simply insulting people’s intelligence.
The saddest part is that many fans were mocked for years just for wanting accountability and higher standards.
Liverpool became a club where questioning decisions was treated worse than the bad decisions themselves.
That’s why many supporters no longer trust the media ecosystem around the club.
Not because people have different opinions.
But because too many of them always somehow have the SAME opinion at the SAME time.
And real football fans can see through that eventually.

We have refused to sign up with PR marketing companies to make @MoSalah look bad after his comments about current affairs at @LFC.
It's not about the 💰 for us.
We will only post what we want: the truth!
He spoke out and was criticised.. he spoke his truth, he tried to tell everyone!! he spoke our truth…
I supported him for this and I would choose him everytime!!!!
GET SLOT OUT
Why is Delhi suddenly so quiet?
During Sheila Dikshit's time, people and the media were relentlessly vocal and held her accountable — even though the Delhi Police was not under her control. They blamed her for issues beyond her authority.
So why the silence now? Why aren't the same voices questioning the authority under whose control the Delhi Police actually operates?
It’s hard, maybe even unfair… but I’m grateful this is happening to me here, among you. I’m not alone. Your strength and your love will be my driving force. See you again soon, Anfield ❤️
A group of undercover women cops quietly worked inside that BPO unit of Tata Consultancy Services for almost a month to probe abuse & conversion charges.
It was only after they were satisfied that cases were registered and people were arrested.
Don't blame social media to whitewash crimes.
It is so weird that you say "Justice must be done based on facts" and then give a spinoff to the entire incident just because relatives of accused say they are innocent.
Mohamed Salah is to bring the curtain down on his illustrious career with Liverpool Football Club at the end of the 2025-26 season.
The time to fully celebrate his legacy and achievements will follow later in the year when he bids farewell to Anfield ❤️
“A few months after I moved to Paris, two of my friends from Diadema came to spend some time with me there. They had broken up with their wife and girlfriend and were sad, so I invited them, hoping the visit would help clear their minds. Great.
“They soon met other Brazilians, who played for a team like the seventh-division amateur league in the suburbs of Paris — all immigrants without proper papers.
“Every night, my two friends came home angry, complaining that they were constantly beaten up. So, I said: “I’ll go over there tomorrow to watch you play.” And I did.
“I arrived wearing a ninja hat, half disguised, and watched. The opponents were all dressed up, with their uniforms, equipment, water bottles, and a coach. And my friends’ team was wearing nothing: one in white shorts, another in purple, a third in yellow. The guys were hanging from the goalposts to warm up…. It was a mess.
At the end of the match, which they lost, I asked:
“Do you want me to train the team?”
I’ll never forget the guys’ smiles. They were so genuinely happy and excited, something I had only seen when I was a kid, when we would fly kites in Diadema.
I started training the guys every Monday, from 10 to midnight. Sometimes I would train them on Monday and play a Champions League match on Tuesday. I even remember scoring a goal against Barcelona on one of those days. I started loving Mondays. I couldn’t wait to be with those guys. We talked, I listened a lot, and I got to know each one’s stories and struggles.
“Some made money playing capoeira, others delivering items on motorbikes or washing dishes. All of them had a hard life, afraid because of their illegal status, with little hope that things would improve, but football brightened up and took the weight off their days.
On my first holidays, I went back to Brazil and went to talk to the ultimate crazy woman, my mother:
“Mum, can you make stuff for the boys there?”
“Say no more! She made travel polo shirts, tracksuits, match uniforms, training uniforms, everything in sizes S, M, L, XL….
I went back to Paris with 21 suitcases. The guys’ dedication grew along with their joy. We started training twice a week, then three times. We got promoted, and at the end of the season, I had a crazy idea. Another one. “I’m going to throw a gala for the team, just like PSG does for us every year.” I rented a castle-like nightclub where Matuidi had thrown his birthday party and started producing ours.
“I had already hired a guy who used to film for PSG to film our guys’ matches, too. I asked him to bring all the videos to my house so we could watch them and choose the best goals of the year, the top scorer, the goalkeeper’s best saves. Let’s show them on the big screen! Then I ordered trophies for the winners of each category. Hey, but what about the others? Plaques! We’re going to make little wooden-and-acrylic plaques with each one’s name on them. Everything was perfect. The day before, I called the guys together:
“Do you have a white button-up shirt and a basic black coat for tomorrow’s party?”
Nobody had one. OK, I will buy you some.
I went to the store myself and got some. Then I thought about their girlfriends and wives. I called the group again and gave each one some pocket money so that their SOs could buy a dress if they wanted.
The party night arrived.
And if I told you it was incredible, one of the most extraordinary emotional moments of my life, as cool as winning the Champions League, would you believe me?”
