Show Notes

In April 2017, Andy Kelly and Neil Jones met former Liverpool chairman Sir Martin Broughton to talk about his time at Anfield.
In a 90 minute interview, Broughton reveals:

* He didn't sack Rafa Benitez - and didn't want him to go

* he kept FSG interest in buying LFC away from Hicks and Gillett until absolutely necessary 

* the Liverpool board was split on whether to sell to FSG or another bidder 

* Roy Hodgson took the Reds job knowing he could be sacked within weeks of his appointment
