Khaldoon's End of Season Interview

Every one of these have been nothing interviews in the past. We’ve found next to nothing new out, they've just been airy-fairy, state the obvious.

This one, however, had a bit of substance in it for once.

Decent interview!

It was in either their 94 or 95 accounts from memory and was processed in the form a share issue to himself, I’ve got copies of the accounts from the early 80s of the laptop so can confirm later if it’s bothering you .

I had concluded that their accounts was probably the only place to look. Love to see the entries. A scouser on line has been calling me out for claiming Moores bunged them. Challenged me to show a ref.
 
I thought the interview segment around stadium expansion was.. well... quite strange.


Khaldoon interrupting to discuss safe standing, seemed a classic deflection tactic? his

response to the blue wall comment almost theatrically ott & I'm sure the body language

experts would comment on that hand to nose movement too.....?

Cue, Club statement in morning confirming stadium expansion to 77 000 to start @ weekend..
 
So the question on stadium expansion was not really answered.
Other than that it was good.

Yes, I had read that, but it says nothing about Moores / Littlewoods funding the club.

Williams enticed Shankly to leave First Division Huddersfield to go to Second Division Liverpool with the carrot of having more money to spend than Huddersfield had ambition to.

Shankly bought 24 players in one Summer to gain promotion.

Liverpool failed to go up.

“Shareholder John Moores felt the club needed to spend more money on players to be successful and encouraged chairman T. V. Williams to do so.”
From Williams, John (2010). Reds: Liverpool Football Club – The Biography.

Shankly signed Ian St John for a club record and the second highest fee paid for any player in Europe that Summer. As well as other signings.

They gained promotion. Signed more players. Then Liverpool won the league title and FA Cup.

They were a languishing Second Division club and without Moores’ funding they would have remained so.

Liverpool then went 6 years without winning anything so went on a spending spree never seen before in English football. They broke their club transfer record a number of times, the record ever spent on a teenager or a record spent on a player in a certain position numerous times... they never looked back.

That’s when Liverpool went on to dominate the next two decades.

But that’s the real substance.

Many people couldn’t give a single fuck about what some bloke who runs La Liga or the top brass at United and Liverpool have bitterly slapped their knees about and said about us.

I want to know about ticket prices and the development of the stadium and surroundings more than some “xxx is a shit stirrer, ignore him, just concentrate on facts”. That is what many of us do already.

I've tried linking a David Conn article on Liverpool from the Guardian in 2006 but haven't been able to do so. However, the salient part is "At Liverpool the fans are monumentally sentimental, but they know their history and understand that money talks. The Shankly reawakening came only with the help of some Moores money in the 1960s."

We have been pleading with the club to come out fighting and they finally have,to me that's everything,us fans have been fighting for our good name for years on our own,circling the wagons and the fight that is to come is going to shape our future more than a few more seats

The thing is he still never even mentioned one word about the main detractors; the media.

The name of our club is dragged through the mud by the media far more than it is by Tebas, the Glazers or John Henry. But he never said a word about that.

While it raised a smirk from me for him to talk about these people derogatorily, he still just told us to ignore them and just be concerned about facts.

The most interesting parts of the interview was that it appears he - and Sheikh Mansour - are here for the long haul and that he, and the club, are pro-Safe Standing.

I would have liked more detail on that and the long term plans of the site as a whole. We didn’t get it, but they don’t tend to work like that anyway and only release information on that side of the business when it’s set in stone.

The rest is just playground tittle tattle. Which is why he never got too bogged down talking about it and never mentioned the media, because it’s pointless.
