Klopp came in mid season. Didn't even have a transfer window to set anything right. He did brilliantly to even make a final with that squad. I thought so anyway.

October is not mid season, not like a Liverpool fan to be economical with the facts. He inherited a squad that ran City close in the premier league under Rodgers. He wasn't managing Watford and finished 8th. Pellegrini has never bested him though apparently.

Not at all. No Suarez, who pretty much dragged Liverpool into a title challenge. No sterling. No Gerrard. I could mention the 'addition' of Moreno too, lol.
Very different teams, I'm sure you'll agree.

I remember Liverpool destroying City 4-1 at the Etihad in November that year and the likes of Coutinho, Sturridge and Milner and co moving the ball like lightning. The quality was there.

I suppose Klopp got the better of Pellers there.

One game ain’t the debate, you said Pellergrini had never finished above Klopp in the league which is factually incorrect. The league table doesn’t lie and doesn’t have the sob stories of you being a selling club and what Klopp inherited next to goal difference.

Of the current squad, only Sergio, and possibly Fernandinho, was bought before we we financially self-sufficient.

The rest of them have been paid for by the successful off-field activities and income from TV rights.

As a matter of interest, do you know why your club is referred to as Littlewoods FC on here?

Liverpool failed FFP in 2013 but got away unpunished because they didn't qualify for Europe. City, on the other hand were heavily fined (although two thirds of that fine was repaid the following year) and had restrictions on transfers in and the size of the CL squad which hampered our 2014-15 season. All because UEFA arbitrarily and retrospectively changed the rules on Annex 11 (pre-2010 contracts being discounted for FFP purposes) AFTER City had already submitted their accounts to ensure they failed.

In 2015 they got away with it again. Here are the relevant parts concerning Liverpool from a Daily Telegraph article 26/2/2015 on clubs falling foul of FFP.

"Liverpool are expected to avoid Uefa sanctions, despite being in breach of Financial Fair Play regulations, as they have managed to persuade European football's governing body there were mitigating circumstances for their failure to comply.

Liverpool announced losses of £49.8million for the 2012-13 season and £40.5million for the 12 months prior to that.

Brendan Rodgers' side returned to the Champions League after a six-year absence this season, but Uefa were concerned by the amount of money they lost before finishing second in the Premier League.

Although Uefa launched an investigation and could have punished the club's owners, Fenway Sports, with a heavy fine and enforced a reduction in the size of their squad in European competitions next season – a punishment dished out to Manchester City – they have accepted Liverpool's explanation for the losses.

The 2011-12 accounts reported that £49.6million was associated with Liverpool's stadium costs, £35million coming from former co-owner Tom Hicks' plan to build a new stadium on Stanley Park, which new owners Fenway Sports Group had to scrap."

The article states £35 million rather than the £50 million quoted by other sources at the time but the fact remains that Liverpool avoided FFP sanctions by offsetting much of their FFP losses against the non-existent Stanley Park project when all they ever did was mow the grass a couple of times. All done with a complicit UEFA one of whose members (who also sat on UEFA's IC committee in their recent kangaroo court witch hunt against City) is ex-Liverpool CEO and self confessed lifelong Liverpool fan Rick Parry.

And that £49 million was, quite coincidentally, the amount Littlewoods FC agreed to sell us Raheem Sterling for (including add-ons).

Quite coincidentally.
 
The amount of luck and good fortune these bastards get away with is quite extraordinary.

Van Dijk seems to constantly get away with barging player's over.

Henderson getting away with a dive,roll and clutching of the ankle when he wasn't touched.

A team with first team players out getting another injury midway through the match, whilst none of their first team ever seem to get injured - and no, Gomez, Lallana and Oxlade-Chamberlain do not count.

Mane getting away with continually falling over and the refs falling for it, and Salah is exactly the same.

And this is all in the space of just 45 fucking minutes.

Fuck me a utterly loathe these cunnts.

Nothing to see here. Don’t you know how expensive it is to not build something? A lot of work and expense is required, usually in the region if £50m, thought everyone knew that
 
The luck they had all last season with decisions and the lack of injuries, simply cannot carry on for another full season

With games coming thick and fast from here on in, and this world club championship to contend with, I think it will all catch up with them

If they were blowing teams away like we are, I'd be a little bit more concerned, but they're already riding their luck. They were fortunate to get 1 point today never mind 3

As previously stated, it's easy to do both, you see, when we can't go to games, we watch it on the television, when it's on obviously.

Bindippers, I guess refers to people on low income, but I suspect this is an outdated term, if it ever was relevant, as many of us can afford laptops, which we can sit comfortably on our laps while we watch the. match, and occasionally looks at posts from people such as yourself, to add a sprinkle of humour to proceedings.

While on the subject of luck, we all need an element of luck to win games-it's not exclusive to Liverpool FC. If you believe that Manchester City haven't benefitted from any luck, then you're exactly what your posts suggest you are.

I'm going to check back in your previous match threads to see whether you have made any posts during Manchester City games.

What's sauce for the goose, and all that.

In a bit xx
