@BillSaysThis We've already done some of the latter with the Women's team inheriting Melwood, that was brilliant. Hopefully more of the former will be done in due course as well.

@BillSaysThis The only partial explanation is that Taylor has not known a table finish below fourth place in the four seasons he managed City.

As solid as that is, it's clearly only part of the story.

Former Manchester City boss Gareth Taylor is the leading candidate to take over as Liverpool manager in the Women's Super League. Without a manager since sacking Matt Beard in February, the Reds have been searching for a replacement. Taylor, 52, took over at City in May 2020 and led them to two major honours but missed out on the WSL title in 2024 on goal difference behind Chelsea. He was sacked just five days before the Women's League Cup final in March this year with City 12 points adrift of Chelsea in the WSL. In four full seasons under Taylor, City did not finish outside the WSL's top four. He was a divisive figure at the club with several players speaking out publicly about their experiences during his time in charge. England goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck described her relationship with Taylor as "fractured" while Chloe Kelly's chaotic loan exit in January raised eyebrows further. Two-time WSL winners Liverpool, who finished the 2024-25 season in seventh place, are seeking consistency as they attempt to climb back up the table and challenge England's elite on a regular basis. Former assistant Amber Whiteley has been in interim charge of the team since Beard's departure and she was keen to take over the role full-time. However, it is understood Taylor is the leading candidate and Liverpool have been in discussions with him to reach personal terms.

Liverpool FC will honour the rest of Diogo Jota's contract, paying his salary until it expires in 2027.

This may look like "only" a gesture, but it's one massive gesture by LFC, thinking of the welfare and education of Diogo's three little children in the coming years and for the rest of their lives.

There's no other club like Liverpool. Well done, more than well done, excellent, brilliant, class act that should make every Red proud.

Applause.
