Welcome to a time-travel podcast diving into football’s greatest almost moments — the transfers that came within touching distance of reality, Richie McCormack's Sliding Doors.

Sliding Doors goes beyond rumours and gossip to uncover deals that were genuinely on the table

Each episode explores how one decision could have reshaped clubs, careers, and the entire football landscape

From whispered negotiations to official bids, this is the anatomy of football’s biggest “what ifs”

Think Michael Laudrup to Liverpool, Robert Lewandowski to Blackburn… and yes, Ronaldo to Rangers

This episode takes us back to the 80s, and as times were changing at Liverpool, a Danish superstar nearly donned the Merseyside red.

Laudrup would go on to become one of the standout players of the decade and into the 90s, with clubs such as Lazio, Juventus, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Ajax.

But what would have happened if he had made that initial move to the north-west of England.
