Just releasing him makes no sense...the cost of his earnings is likely going to be smaller than his asset value to the club (2 years wages equates to about 10m). I just can't see Pool cutting ties like that with such a loss...we'd either keep him altogether, wait it out and sell, or sue him.

Another other than suing him means a pretty hefty financial hit for pool regardless though :-/

A fine of 1 year+ greatly depreciates his value to the club as an asset from the word 'go'.

No on q7, thank God.

All 96 victims were unlawfully killed? Yes

About time and finally justice has been done.

Great news, justice at last.

corwill

Yes to q13 re SYP. They should be disbanded.

Justice finally.

Absolutely delighted for the families and for all the people who fought the hard fight all these years, there must be a massive sense of relief for them.

NyOmnishambles

Delighted for the families

Whilst it might seem silly to some as I have no connection to the families involved or directly to the club itself due to living in Ireland but I am quite emotional today

I remember sitting down to watch this game as an 11 year old and the scenes that unfolded are seared into my memory followed very closely by the images of the many many funerals that followed and the visual heartbreak it caused to the players and manager at the time, many of whom were never the same after it

Whilst not being directly affected by it I always felt it was horribly cruel what was done to the families by the police and institutions who were all trying to cover their own arses, some of it was malicious some of it uninformed but all of it hurt them and I am glad they have finally got their justice

If Sakho does get 12 months he is of zero use for next season.

Incredible insight.

I imagine there will be a little star shining extra brightly tonight in memory of Anne Williams.

She was a guiding light for the quest to get the truth told and stayed fighting when many would long have given up.

Rest in peace now, Anne.

Lovren has endured a testing time since moving to Anfield in 2014 but, speaking to the Sunday Times, talked at length about that winning goal and what it meant to him.

“You know, when the ball was in the air and I was there, I thought ‘this is the time’” he said. “I said to myself; ‘it’s now or never.

“I don’t know… it was a relief I would say. A relief in me. Difficult to describe. Emotions. Angry. Relief. Powerful in the moment... All of those things together.

“It was everything that had happened over the last couple of months, also the last couple of years. Always the light on me. You know, to do something special… so I can say, maybe, ‘I’m sorry,’ for the beginning. So maybe the people will now say okay, we accept that.

“That moment you connect, every player needs it. I was so proud and angry, I felt I was saying, ‘yeah, that’s me, that’s the Dejan you know, who is the fighter until the end, who will never say that it’s over.’

“This is a good beginning for me, a connection with the fans and the people. One of the best days of my life was moving to Liverpool but the goal is the best moment of my career, to be honest.”

Lovren, of course, now assumes extra responsibility following news of Mamadou Sakho’s possible anti-doping violation. The 26-year-old will marshal the Liverpool defence in Villarreal as he looks to take the club to their first European final since 2007.

“I want to leave footsteps here,” he added. “I want people to be proud of me and to be able to say ‘that was Dejan, he played for us.’

“I want trophies, and I want to be thought of as a leader here. I’m still young but I’m born to be a leader.”

Yeah. If he's not careful, that 12 months could turn into a year.

Any chance that for one day only, given the magnitude of today's decision, we could not clutter the thread up with pointless squabbles?

Makes no difference to me, ultimately. Just a request. It's an historic day.

I'm only messing. Just a strange request as there has been no squabbles all day.

I would think he would be in breach of contract.

Oh of course...I don't think I explained my point very well...

He'd obviously be in breach of contract, so we could be done with him instantly - and in the process lose a 15 to 20 million pound asset.

So the choices are; to sack him and lose the value of the asset straight away, OR honor the contract and keep him as an asset but forfeit wages for that time (potentially up to 10m pounds), OR release him and sue him for breach of contract for the value remaining on the contract.

All ****ty situations for the club unfortunately.

First of all he's only worth €Xm if another club would pay that for him and after this I doubt very much anyone would pay big money for him not only because he took PED's but because there must be a major question mark over whether the performances which make him a £20m type player can only be achieved with the use of PED's.

Also, I'd like to know if it's possible for the clubs to take out some form of key man insurance against players doing stupid $h1t like this and if LFC did???

It is indeed and I hope you know I meant no offence with what I said.

Has Sterling been injured the last few months?

Harry Palmr

TV3 will have the EL final so that's a reason for Liverpool to be there

I wonder did the tribunal decide not to bother announcing the outcome with the day that's in it?
