This is the Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.

Hello, it's Paul B. Lock and welcome to the Morning Bulletin Podcast where we round up all the big headlines from

overnight concerning Liverpool FC contract talks dominate today's show but we're also

going to chat about a new potential in a frankly bizarre venue for the Merseys Darbybies and to help you do that I'm delighted

to be joined on the line by the liberal echo sports audience editor Sean Bradbury

Indeed, yeah, it's been tricky as for everyone, football fans and...

end of the tunnel I think now certainly in the end of the football coming back and it's

the very least is going to be a welcome distraction but also hopefully title to be wrapped up

for the Reds? Most definitely it does feel like clubs are getting the business in order

before it all starts again.

I know on yesterday's show with Matt Addison,

we teed up the fact that Adam Lallana was going

first professional contact with the club. I think it's at the start of July having now turned

17. And funny enough, that's how we've been reporting it all along

but reporting it along all the way isn't it sure but those kind of

tweets prompted Ian Doyle our chief alpsy rights to write something new on the

subject.
