Liverpool's New No 2? Mamardashvili Eyes Alisson's Throne After Kelleher Exit
Caoimhin Kelleher's Farewell and the Goalkeeping Transition at Liverpool Beyond the Backup Label Liverpool has rarely paused to grieve the departure of a second-choice goalkeeper. Yet Caoimhin Kelleher was never your average understudy. His £18million ($24.3m) move to Brentford may seem routine in modern football finance, but the emotional reaction surrounding it tells a deeper tale — of a player who defied the typical backup narrative to carve out a reputation of substance and style. Advertisement Kelleher arrived from Cork's Ringmahon Rangers in 2015 with promise, but not prestige. What followed was a steady rise into Ireland's standout goalkeeper, a trusted custodian for club and country. Though he remained in the shadow of Alisson for much of his Liverpool career, he stepped out when called upon and never looked out of place. Photo IMAGO With only 25 Premier League starts across six seasons, it's tempting to view his contribution as peripheral. But in truth, Kelleher's presence often proved pivotal. His calm demeanour, sharp reflexes, and quiet confidence became integral whenever Liverpool's No 1 was unavailable. He earned the mantle of the Premier League's best backup goalkeeper — a moniker both complimentary and limiting. Championship Contributions and Final Flourish Kelleher's timing, in both his saves and career moments, has always been notable. That he played a bigger part in Liverpool's 2024–25 Premier League title win felt deserved. Injuries to Alisson opened the door, and Kelleher walked through with assured hands and unshakeable poise. He featured ten times during the title run-in — three appearances in the Champions League and seven in the Premier League — as Alisson recovered from a hamstring issue. Advertisement His standout performance came in the 2-0 Champions League triumph over Real Madrid. That evening under the lights, he denied Kylian Mbappe from the penalty spot and made a series of crucial saves to preserve the clean sheet. He showed again what many already believed — that he could be a No 1 elsewhere. Even his mistake in the 3-3 draw against Newcastle United at St James's Park became a talking point spun into affection by Liverpool supporters. 'Without that draw, we wouldn't have won the league at Anfield,' some joked, pointing to the reshuffled fixture list that ended so gloriously in front of the Kop. But humour could not hide reality. 'For years, he's made it clear that he wants more,' the original piece from The Athletic noted, and rightly so. Sitting in Alisson's shadow was never going to satisfy a goalkeeper of Kelleher's ambition and ability. Brentford offers him the minutes he craves and a platform to prove he's more than a reliable reserve. Mamardashvili's Moment Arrives While Kelleher departs with admiration and applause, Liverpool's attention turns toward his successor. Giorgi Mamardashvili, a £29million recruit from Valencia, is already in place. Though he remained in Spain last season, the Georgian is now poised to step into the Liverpool squad for pre-season under Arne Slot. Advertisement Mamardashvili is no stranger to expectation. His performances for Georgia at Euro 2024 caught widespread attention. Liverpool acted swiftly, aware they were not the only ones watching. There were whispers of Alisson interest from Saudi Arabia, and though that pursuit has cooled, contingency planning was a necessity. At just 24, Mamardashvili is entering the most defining stretch of his career. He has been learning English, integrating into the club's culture from afar, and mentally preparing for the competition ahead. He wants to play, not just participate, and while Alisson remains Liverpool's No 1 for now, there is an unspoken inevitability to the transition ahead. 'Injury concerns over Alisson's record persist,' notes the original report. Last season's three-month layoff was not an isolated issue. Liverpool's sporting director, Richard Hughes, understood the risks and retained three senior stoppers for depth. That gamble paid off. Now, with Vitezslav Jaros eyeing a loan in one of Europe's top five leagues and Harvey Davies stepping up as third choice, the structure is clear. Should Alisson suffer another setback, it will be Mamardashvili who takes the gloves. A Future in Safe Hands Liverpool believe Mamardashvili has the temperament, talent, and technical prowess to one day replace Alisson outright. He thrives in possession-based systems, where quick distribution and positional intelligence are key. His stint at Valencia may have been marred by inconsistency — they finished 12th in La Liga — but he was often let down by a struggling defence, not his own shortcomings. Advertisement In fact, the environment at Liverpool could play to his strengths. A higher line, fewer shots faced, and a more dominant team structure may allow Mamardashvili to flourish. The club views him as a project worth investing in and believes he will become one of Europe's top stoppers. Whether that transition happens this season or in the next few years will depend on performance, patience, and perhaps pragmatism from both player and manager. For now, Mamardashvili is expected to challenge, not displace. Alisson's status remains intact, but his heir is no longer hypothetical — he's here, waiting. And that's the great paradox of modern football's goalkeeping hierarchy. Only one can start, but the depth behind must be of elite standard. Liverpool had that in Kelleher and hope to maintain it with Mamardashvili. The dynamic between them and Alisson will shape much of what unfolds in the new season. Legacy, Loyalty and Looking Ahead Kelleher leaves with five major medals and memories to match. His League Cup contributions in 2022 and 2024 were vital, even if he watched on for the 2019 Champions League and the 2022 FA Cup latter stages. His legacy is not in quantity of games, but quality of character and performance. He stood tall when Liverpool needed him most. Advertisement 'Might have crumbled without their first-choice goalkeeper,' the article rightly stated. But they did not, and in many ways, that was down to Kelleher's calming influence. As Arne Slot begins his reign, decisions over who starts in goal will be as critical as any tactical tweak. Alisson is the proven champion, Mamardashvili the emerging contender. The balance of experience and potential is finely poised. One leaves, one arrives, but the thread connecting them is clear — Liverpool have prioritised their goalkeeping future with the same rigour they have applied across the pitch. Kelleher departs with dignity and gratitude. Mamardashvili steps forward with belief and ambition. And Alisson, still one of the finest in the world, remains the benchmark both must reach. In the goalkeeping union, respect is paramount. For Liverpool, the changing of the guard has begun, but the standard will not drop. It never does.

‘Keep it down – the president is talking to Xi': The golf club acting as Trump's summer White House
On a hot summer's day in August 2019 at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, members lounging by the pool were startled by an unusual announcement. 'Can you please keep the noise down because the president is talking to President Xi [Jinping] of China?' a club worker said through a megaphone. 'It was a phone call, not a visit, but it was pretty funny,' recalls one Bedminster member, speaking on condition of anonymity. Now that Trump is in the first summer of his second presidential term, expect more surprise diplomatic moments from Bedminster – dubbed the 'Summer White House' thanks to the president's habit of spending weekends and much of August at his plush, Georgian-style, 500-acre estate, one of his three official presidential residences. The Trump Organisation owns 15 golf clubs, but in summertime Bedminster becomes the crown jewel of the president's real estate empire, eclipsing Mar-a-Lago until September. 'It's his happy place,' the member added. 'He's always relaxed. Even at Mar-a-Lago there are wealthy 'Never-Trump' spies and enemies [conservatives backing anti-Trump Republicans]; at Bedminster, you get none of that. Everybody is known.' 'Occasionally Trump will put on a show – in his last visit to Bedminster before Covid, he landed by helicopter 10ft from the pool and everyone watched him arrive. But mostly the calmness couldn't be more different from all the drama in DC.' Trump bought the club in 2002 from National Fairways, a golf course developer that had acquired it from another colourful, scandal-ridden businessman, John DeLorean, when it was still known as Lamington Farm. He has long had a soft spot for Bedminster, a rural town in New Jersey's Somerset Hills – the most popular fox-hunting area on the East Coast. According to the Wall Street Journal, Christopher 'Kip' Forbes, son of the late entrepreneur Malcolm Forbes, once overheard Trump arguing with a Pan Am executive at a party at the Forbes estate in Bedminster in 1987 over who had the biggest plane. Today, his Bedminster club boasts a helipad, swimming pool, tennis courts, a spa and yoga centre and pickleball courts, alongside two 18-hole golf courses renowned for their spotless greens and manicured fairways. 'Whatever you think of how Trump runs a country, he knows how to run a club,' the member says. 'The main people running Bedminster have been there for over a decade.' While Trump's White House has hardly been short of acrimonious personnel exits and political drama, 'at Bedminster he doesn't fire people.' (Bedminster general manager David Schutzenhofer has been at the club since 2006; director of golf Mickie Gallagher joined the same year.) The president stays in a cottage next to the club's pool, which contains an office and a second-floor balcony and porch. Don Jr also has a cottage there, as do Eric and Lara Trump, and Ivanka Trump with her husband Jared Kushner – who married at the location in 2009. All are expected to stay there this summer. Ivanka and Jared Kushner's cottage at Bedminster It was to Bedminster that Donald Trump returned in July 2023 – receiving a hero's welcome after pleading not guilty at a Miami federal court to 37 charges related to his alleged mishandling of classified documents – and it was Bedminster where he stayed the night after he was shot in the right ear at a rally in Pennsylvania in July 2024. The club also features in the president's social media posts. A video of him playing a round at Bedminster with American golfing star Bryson DeChambeau garnered 15 million views on YouTube in the run-up to last year's presidential election, while a recent fake video of him hitting persistent critic Bruce Springsteen with a golf ball has racked up 81.9 million views on X. In reality, Mr Trump tends to play golf at Bedminster with a core group of around two dozen friends. One of them is Tom Bennison, a sports business executive. 'He uses golf in his position as president of the United States the same way he did as a businessman – as a relationship-building tool,' Bennison tells The Telegraph. 'I've played with him when it's been with friends of his, and it's like any other round of golf with three buddies who talk a lot about sports.' 'And then I've played with him when he has been with people in the political circle, congressmen or senators. He plays really fast. A round of golf with the president takes between two and a half hours and two hours 45 minutes because he's trying to get every minute out of every day that he possibly can.' Criticism that Trump spends too much time golfing at the expense of his presidential duties is wrong, according to Republican strategist Matt Parker, co-presenter of the Golf & Politics podcast. 'One of the first weekends after the inauguration, he was playing at Trump International West Palm Beach,' Parker says. 'When he teed off, he was working on a trade deal, and by the sixth hole the trade deal was done. Between shots, he's making phone calls and sending messages.' 'Nobody has had as big an impact on the game of golf as a president than Donald Trump,' Parker adds. 'He loves the game, and with his single-digit handicap he's arguably the most talented golfer we've ever had in the White House.' Rich Levine, another golfing pal of Trump's, told the Golf & Politics podcast that Trump is a most congenial club owner: 'He'll never criticise anyone… he is so positive to every member, every employee. [He] will tell you that you played great golf, even though you played terrible that day.' Yet beneath the surface bonhomie, Bedminster is a factional court where today's Republican politicians rise and fall. Betsy DeVos, US secretary of education in the first Trump administration, recalled how he chose the venue as the backdrop for assembling his cabinet. 'Apparently the president-elect had decided it made for better theater [sic] for his visitors to greet him on the [Bedminster] front steps,' she wrote in her memoir Hostages No More, adding: 'Trump had commandeered the clubhouse at Bedminster to have his meetings with potential cabinet secretaries […] Mitt Romney was in an interview when I arrived. James Mattis, Trump's future secretary of defense [sic], was in the green room.' One member says that Howard Lutnick, Trump's commerce secretary and architect of his controversial tariff agenda, endeared himself to Trump by being an active presence at Bedminster. Conversely, Jeff Sessions, Trump's attorney general between 2017 and 2018, made a less favourable impression. 'When Jeff Sessions showed up at Bedminster, he was like a deer in headlights,' the member added. 'It's not the main reason he fell out of favour with Trump, but it didn't help that he looked way over his head and was never seen at Bedminster again.' Critics of Trump say he treats Bedminster primarily as another moneymaking venture. Initiation fees are reportedly $350,000. 'If one person joins as a member, he's covered most of his property taxes!' says Pulitzer Prize-winning Trump biographer David Cay Johnston. 'Trump loses money with his British golf courses, so clubs like Bedminster become a further extension of anything he can do that will bring in money.' Eyebrows have also been raised over the club quite literally being a cash cow, qualifying for agricultural tax breaks by harvesting hay and maintaining a small herd of goats. Then there are the allegations from celebrities that Trump cheats at golf, frequently deploying mulligans (a rule allowing a player to retake a shot). Rocker Alice Cooper told Q Magazine in 2012: 'The worst celebrity golf cheat? I played with Donald Trump once. That's all I'm going to say.' Actor Samuel L Jackson said in 2016: 'We clearly saw him hook a ball into a lake at Trump National [Bedminster] and his caddy told him he found it!' Sportswriter Rick Reilly recounted a tale about Trump allegedly declaring himself the winner of a Bedminster tournament in his 2019 book Commander in Cheat: 'Trump happened to walk into the Bedminster clubhouse just as a worker was putting up the name of the newly crowned senior club championship winner on a wooden plaque. Trump had been out of town and hadn't played in the tournament, but when he saw the player's name, he stopped the employee. 'Hey, I beat that guy all the time [Trump said]. Put my name up there instead […] I would've beaten him.'' However, Trump's friends refute suggestions of foul play. 'He's 100 per cent a gentleman,' says Tom Bennison. 'I've played over 125 rounds of golf with him, and I've never personally witnessed any of that.' Yet Trump's devotion to Bedminster cannot be questioned. 'This is my real group,' Politico reported the president saying in leaked remarks to club members at a Bedminster cocktail reception in November 2016. 'These are the people that came here in the beginning, when nobody knew what this monster was gonna turn out to be.' Ivana Trump, his late first wife, is buried in a private plot on the club's estate. According to David Cay Johnston: 'Donald Trump's assertion is that he too will be buried at Bedminster. It's really his refuge.' One outstanding ambition for the president is for the National Golf Club Bedminster to host a PGA Championship. The club has hosted two LIV Golf tournaments – the controversial Saudi-backed breakaway championship – but plans to hold the 2022 PGA Championship there were scrapped after the January 6 storming of the US Capitol. Members say the president's family has since attempted to mend fences with the PGA. And given the way Donald Trump has confounded his critics over the past decade, who would bet against Bedminster?

JACK Q1 Earnings Call: Revenue Misses Expectations Amid Cost Pressures and Technology Upgrades
Fast-food chain Jack in the Box (NASDAQ:JACK) fell short of the market's revenue expectations in Q1 CY2025, with sales falling 7.8% year on year to $336.7 million. Its non-GAAP EPS of $1.20 per share was 4.2% above analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy JACK? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Revenue: $336.7 million (7.8% year-on-year decline) Adjusted EPS: $1.20 vs analyst estimates of $1.15 (4.2% beat) Adjusted Operating Income: $24.53 million vs analyst estimates of $49.19 million (7.3% margin, 50.1% miss) Adjusted EBITDA Margin: 19.7% Locations: 2,183 at quarter end, down from 2,195 in the same quarter last year Same-Store Sales fell 4.3% year on year (-2.3% in the same quarter last year) Market Capitalization: $365.5 million Jack in the Box's first-quarter results were shaped by a challenging consumer environment and company-specific headwinds. CEO Lance Tucker attributed the revenue decline to persistent negative traffic trends, particularly among lower-income consumers, and acknowledged that technology system upgrades caused temporary disruptions in restaurant operations. Management emphasized the importance of its barbell strategy—offering both value and premium menu items—to drive same-store sales, and highlighted continued digital growth, with digital sales reaching 18% of the system. Interim CFO Dawn Hooper noted that increased labor costs, especially wage inflation in California, as well as higher utilities and operating expenses, further pressured margins during the quarter. Looking ahead, management is focused on executing its Jack on Track plan, which includes simplifying operations, modernizing technology, and closing underperforming locations to strengthen the business for long-term growth. Lance Tucker stated, 'Driving same-store sales is, and always will be, our top priority,' and emphasized ongoing investments in digital channels and the rollout of new point-of-sale systems. The company also plans to accelerate cash flow to pay down debt while maintaining technology and re-imaging investments. As Jack in the Box navigates a cautious consumer environment and cost inflation, management sees digital and menu innovation, along with a return to consistent net unit growth, as key levers for future performance. Management pointed to consumer traffic declines, technology upgrades, and cost inflation as key factors that affected the quarter, while outlining steps to reposition the business for improved performance. Consumer traffic declines: The company saw continued negative traffic, particularly among value-conscious and lower-income consumers, which led to weaker same-store sales. Management noted that these pressures are widespread across the quick-service restaurant industry, but Jack in the Box may be feeling the impact more acutely due to its customer demographics. Technology system upgrades: The rollout of a new point-of-sale (POS) system and flip kiosks in nearly 1,500 restaurants caused temporary operational disruptions, negatively affecting sales. CEO Lance Tucker stated that while these technology challenges are being resolved, ongoing integration of legacy systems remains a focus area. Digital and loyalty growth: Digital sales reached 18% of systemwide sales, with management highlighting increased activity in first-party digital channels and loyalty program engagement. The company aims to achieve 20% digital sales ahead of schedule as part of its ongoing modernization efforts. Margin pressures from wage and commodity inflation: Labor costs rose significantly due to wage inflation, particularly in California following minimum wage increases. Food and packaging costs also rose, though partially offset by increased beverage funding from a new contract. These factors contributed to a decline in restaurant-level margins. Asset-light strategy and restaurant closures: Management reiterated its commitment to an asset-light model, emphasizing that the upcoming closure of underperforming restaurants is intended to enhance unit economics and support future franchise-led expansion. The Jack on Track plan also includes strengthening the balance sheet and prioritizing technology investment. Management expects ongoing macroeconomic headwinds, digital initiatives, and operational streamlining to drive performance in the coming quarters. Digital and menu innovation: The company will continue investing in digital ordering, loyalty programs, and new menu items—such as flavored curly fries and expanded munchie meal options—to attract both value-oriented and premium-seeking customers. Management believes these initiatives can help drive higher average checks and improve traffic trends over time. Cost control and operational efficiency: Jack in the Box plans to close underperforming restaurants and further modernize its technology infrastructure, aiming to improve profitability and cash flow. The company also intends to prioritize franchise-led growth in new markets while reducing its involvement in direct ownership. Industry and consumer challenges: Management remains cautious about the near-term outlook, citing persistent inflationary pressures on labor and commodities, as well as a cautious consumer environment. CEO Lance Tucker acknowledged that traffic trends remain soft and that the company will need to balance value offerings with margin protection. Looking forward, the StockStory team will closely monitor (1) the impact of digital and menu innovation on reversing negative traffic trends, (2) the execution and financial effects of the planned restaurant closures and technology modernization, and (3) progress on franchise-led expansion into new markets. Updates on the Del Taco strategic review and any developments in cost management will also be key indicators of future momentum. Jack in the Box currently trades at a forward P/E ratio of 3.7×.
