The post I quoted said Barca still owe £40m of the Coutinho money, which they do

They owe it to the bank Liverpool sold the debt to

Liverpool have had the money

That's cash flow. It's also useless to them as income. They can't set it against transfer fees. It's a non entity.

///Everything you say is true. But on the other hand I wouldn’t want my club to be owned by a sugar daddy. I never want to see my club sack Gerrard the way Chelsea sacked Lampard. It’s just not who we are.

When people talk about catching up with City, I think they don’t realize they are talking about a team that spent more than half a billion ONLY on defenders in the last 2-3 years. There is no catching up unless you get petrol money and that’s a fact. I am in no way saying they influence referees or there is match fixing, but I can say that they somehow have some influence on FIFA and UEFA. They are allowed spend money like there’s no tomorrow, either barely regulated or even if regulated they find loopholes with sponsorships and other ways that I am not clever enough to understand. Football is completely different than what it was, and it is very easy to get lost in it. We have to be careful with our spending.

Young and new supporters are more enthusiastic about stats, silverware and big names and I absolutely understand that, but I just can’t be arsed about those. I mean of course silverwares are great, but for me Liverpool is more than that. It’s just for me though, so I am not saying this is how it should be for everybody.//

//Honestly, the FSG approach is logical in any other business then football, when you compete against owners like Man City who treat their clubs as vehicles for sports washing. It's a bloody fact that absent their corrupt capital, we win in 13/14, we win in 18/19. Am I sad we did not reload when the iron was hot? Yes, but I also hate that we have to compete against that lot and their ill-gotten gains.//

It’s not entirely a non entity to FSG & John Henry tho....it can go straight into John Henry’s account can’t it? ;)

No idea if that’s true, but it’s amusing if it is

I just don't get their unrelenting loyalty to players. Salah is an absolute diving tosspot but I am yet to speak to a kopite who says "yeh he does go down easily". Richarlison is a theatrical whopper sometimes and if he dived and won a pen I would happily admit it and just be glad the ref was kind to us.

Salah and Mane can hold off 3 players with ease but any touch in the box and flailing arms and screaming but their fans will never admit it. Cult mentality

I've also seen Everton fans calling Richarlison out for diving. Me included. It's one thing that annoys me about him.

Noel Gallagher summed it up perfectly, they’ve flogged themselves for 4 years to try get to the top, got there and now they are spent, gone

I don't know if anyone watches F1 but Liverpool remind me of Nico Rosberg.


It took absolutely everything he had and more to win the championship (it took an immense toll on him), and he still wouldn't have done it if not for Hamilton having mechanical issues galore.


The major differences being that Rosberg had the opportunity to leave the sport on a high (which he smartly did) and also I like Rosberg.

well we were "Rosberg" last year, and bounced back, so I don't think it's necessarily accurate. They're just a year behind in their cycle compared to us.

Weird even for the City-obsessed Liverpool Echo, this. Would they have thrown bricks and bottles at him like our other coach?

To be fair if they had bricked your coach yesterday , Merseyside police would have probably praised them for sanitising the brick.

Nah they already borrowed against it/ sold the debt with a bank.
