Inara and John aren't going anywhere, but they have asked me to find a third writer to help them

I am, of course, referring to Liverpool's sponsorship deal with Carling, which is reportedly set to
end in mid-2010.

on-going pressures of trying to win - or searching for answers - but rather playing the beautiful
game freely.

charged with saving Liverpool's supposedly ‘faltering' title hopes, but could the expectation
placed on his shoulders prove to be counter-productive?
