Earlier today, Brendan Rodgers resigned from Anfield immediately after taking over the Merseyside club, after what was believed to have been a mis-intepretation in the contract agreement. Rodgers immediately left the club when they both agreed terms. Rookie manager Dan Griffin has been appointed on a 2 year deal.

"Liverpool FC is a massive club, and I intend to bring the club back to the heights of the EPL. I aim to get European Football of the highest standard back to within the club year in year out, that is the most important thing. I want either domestic cups and I will succeed."

Newcastle United's Senegalese superstar Demba Ba has joined Liverpool, aswell as French International Steve Mandanda. The Mandanda deal has meant Jose Reina has joined Arsenal after 8 years with the Merseyside outfit. Griffin raised £13M which then allowed him to spend within that for Mandanda and also cover a bit of the fee for Demba Ba, which was believed to be £7M exactly.

"£11M & £7M for Steve and Demba respectively, are massive coups for this club. I felt we needed a change in between the sticks, regardless of how good Jose was, he was an outstanding outfit for this club and I feel I have given him the best deal possible. Steve is a brilliant replacement and will be here until he retires. Demba Ba is not even a steal, the transfer fee is ridiculous, Newcastle have shot themselves in the foot here putting such a small release fee in his contract, I feel like I have stolen him from them."

Wellington Nem's transfer to Liverpool has been put under doubt after he has had a last minute change in his contract clauses & bonuses and isn't happy. Liverpool had a £3.5M bid accepted last week.
