Florian Wirtz £116m transfer problem now unlikely as Liverpool trend set to continue
Liverpool are going with the Flo. After a few weeks haggling with Bayer Leverkusen, a deal for attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz has been agreed with the Reds paying £100million with a further £16m made up of achievable add-ons. Advertisement The transfer is expected to go through when the window reopens next week and will make Wirtz the most expensive player in Liverpool's history - the 21st person to assume such an accolade since the Second World War. While taking on such a mantle can weigh heavy on some shoulders, the Reds have a reasonably decent record in extracting full value from such purchases. Success, though, isn't necessarily guaranteed. READ MORE: Liverpool have no Florian Wirtz alternative as truth about transfer spend emerges READ MORE: Why Liverpool are unable to take part in Club World Cup despite initially qualifying Wirtz will oust Darwin Nunez as the club record transfer, with the Uruguayan having arrived almost three years to the day the deal for the 22-year-old Germany international was reached on Friday. Advertisement Liverpool committed to spending £85.3m on Nunez, who was largely viewed as a signing championed by then boss Jurgen Klopp rather than being aggressively pursued by the Reds' recruitment team. While by no means a failure, Nunez must be regarded as a qualified success at best. A total of 40 goals and 22 assists in 143 appearances, while playing his part in a Premier League title triumph, would be welcomed by most players. But there has always been a sense that more could have been achieved on a personal level, with the arrival of Arne Slot as head coach last summer highlighting his qualities don't necessarily match what is required from a Liverpool number nine at present. Few would be surprised if Nunez departed this summer. The same, though, cannot be said for the two record signings before the forward. Virgil van Dijk, taken from Southampton for £75m in January 2018, and Mohamed Salah, a £43.9m purchase from Roma six months earlier, remain key figures in the Liverpool squad with both strong contenders to be in the club's greatest XI of all time. Advertisement Andy Carroll, though, was another story of what might have been. His £35m signing came on the same day Luis Suarez arrived and Fernando Torres departed, and in many respects the odds were always stacked against the Newcastle United man as Suarez completely overshadowed his new team-mate. There were some flashes - scoring at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final and final - but the arrival of Brendan Rodgers as boss brought an end to his time after barely 18 months. Forwards ruled the roost for a good 30 years. Torres had been a record buy in July 2007 when taken from Atletico Madrid, and flourished under Rafael Benitez before the ill-fated Roy Hodgson era accelerated his exit. Djibril Cisse was signed by Gerard Houllier but only arrived after Benitez was appointed, and never truly regained momentum after a horror leg break at Blackburn Rovers. Nevertheless, he did score a penalty in the Champions League final win over AC Milan, two goals in the UEFA Super Cup win over CSKA Moscow and netted in the FA Cup final against West Ham United. Emile Heskey was a key part of Houllier's treble-winning team of 2001, and while both Stan Collymore and Dean Saunders regularly found the target in the 1990s - the latter winning the FA Cup - that neither made it to a third season spoke volumes. Peter Beardsley, though, won two titles and an FA Cup as part of the attack-minded Liverpool side of the late 1980s. Advertisement Before Beardsley came a string of other successes, with Mark Lawrenson in 1981 and, throughout the 1970s, John Toshack, Ray Kennedy, David Johnson and, of course, Kenny Dalglish. All won multiple honours both home and abroad for Liverpool. And if the late 1960s saw two players in Tony Hateley and Alun Evans who, for differing reasons, weren't quite able to live up to expectations, the earlier purchases of Emlyn Hughes and Ian St John most certainly did, along with the club's first post-war record signing, Albert Stubbins. Wirtz, then, is following in the footsteps of some genuine Liverpool royalty both past and present. And history suggests he is more likely than not to leave a successful legacy. Anfield awaits.

Reeves vows to shield UK from Israel-Iran price shock
Chancellor Rachel Reeves says the government will do "everything in [its] power" to protect people in the UK from the knock-on economic effects of the conflict between Iran and Israel. She would not "take anything off the table" in response to the threat of rising energy costs, she told the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme. The global oil price rose sharply on Friday following the initial attacks by Israel and Iran's subsequent response. A rise in the cost of oil pushes up petrol and diesel prices and can fuel inflation more broadly. Following Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, oil prices spiked to nearly $130 a barrel, contributing to higher prices for UK shoppers on everything from transport to food. However the cost of a barrel of oil, currently around $75, is still lower than it was in January. "There is no complacency from myself or the Treasury," Reeves told the BBC. In 2022, following the start of the Ukraine war, the Conservative government responded to higher energy prices by stepping in to help households with their bills. "We are not anywhere near that stage at the moment," the chancellor said. Household energy bills respond slowly to rising wholesale energy prices, and average bills, as set by the price cap, are due to come down in July. If the conflict continues, and in particular if there is disruption to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, the waterway off the south coast of Iran, the price of oil and gas could rise further. However, oil market experts say there is currently less upward pressure on the price of oil than there was three years ago. How the Israel-Iran conflict could affect energy prices Reeves said the situation in the Middle East was part of the reason that she had raised spending on both defence and energy security, in her announcement last week, which outlined the government's budgets for the rest of the parliament. "A lack of investment in our own domestic energy production has left us exposed," she said. "The investment [announced in the Spending Review] in nuclear energy, in offshore wind, in onshore wind, in carbon capture and storage, is all about ensuring we are more self-sufficient as a nation," she said. Many of those investments will take several years to complete, but some of the government's planned investments could have an impact "in the shorter term" such as investment in home insulation, she added. Lord John Browne, former chief executive of the energy giant BP, said he also believed it was time to "push very hard" on energy security, and on the transition away from fossil fuels. Lord Browne, who now chairs BeyondNetZero, a fund investing in carbon transition technologies, told Laura Kuenssberg some of the government's plans were "too bullish" and would take more time than planned. Shadow chancellor Mel Stride said the implications of the latest conflict for "oil prices, equity prices... trading and inflation and therefore interest rates and the general state of the world economy" were very important. He said the UK economy needed to be "much stronger" to cope with the challenges it is now facing, adding that the government had made the wrong choices by increasing taxes on business. Plans for borrowing and spending had kept inflation higher, he said.

Change to service could help slash 'astronomical' transport bills for West Midlands councils
Calls have been made for a lifeline service to be used to help West Midlands councils reduce "astronomical" transport bills they face every year. Members of the West Midlands Combined Authority's Transport Delivery Overview and Scrutiny Committee discussed proposals for transforming the region's Ring & Ride service. This includes moving to a new operating model and increasing fares for the first time since April 2017. READ MORE: Major change to the price of bus passes and fares coming in the West Midlands - this is when But committee member Councillor Robert Alden said one way of providing a more comprehensive Ring and Ride service would be for it to pick up some Home to School Transport trips. As well as boosting the service, he said it would also ease the financial burden faced by local authorities across the West Midlands. Demand for Ring and Ride services is growing steadily with figures showing 2,487 unique customers have taken a trip in the last six months. Bosses said the last week of March was the busiest since the start of 2020 when the service was hit by Covid-19. The authority still provides a subsidy of £6.467 million per year to run the service but this is a far cry from 2010/11 when its budget was around £12 million. A report to the committee said fare income brings in around £250,000 per year and this is reinvested into the service. Are car headlights too bright? Councillor Alden said: "All of our councils have huge Home to School Transport bills that place significant financial pressures and cost astronomical amounts. "There must be a way to operate this service that also picks up some of that Home To School Transport services across the region so there can be cross subsidisation. "Councils can make a saving on their budget and can also help underpin the finances of Ring and Ride and allow for a more comprehensive service across the region that helps everyone." Catherine Moore, Ring & Ride and Demand Responsive Transport Manager, said: "We have explored this. "We will continue to explore it but the problem is the times don't always work when the Ring and Ride wish to travel and the Home to School Transport children. "We have explored these conversations and we actually feel there might be some benefit from the Community Transport side we could perhaps further develop over the next few years."
