No match, no problem. We talk RB Leipzig, Liverpool U-18s, goal scoring loanees and the protesters - S2 E35

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.
