Financially doping the FSG shareholders, dippers won't see a cent. That sale is just FSG banking the price of their investment back before their key players all hit 30 and they start relying on the upcoming wildcard system to make Europe.

In other words - even their shares are prepared to take a dive.

Wonderful and what I love about this forum. Even when i am not even attempting to be a wind up merchant, even when posting something that I didn't think would be contentious...as I was merely agreeing with a City fan. It manages to get someone trying to turn it into tar me with the whinging/victim tag.

As I THOUGHT I had and apologies for not being clearer, I was not referring simply to "my team" but all teams, even though this is the Liverpool thread. All teams are suffering at home and producing some results that "nromally" wouldnt happen. Whether you think this is down to the pressure on refs /officials or the lack of motivation for players, it does appear to be something.

It therefore takes away something from the game but makes it all about the players, which to some extent is what it should be. Should they need fans there to play to the best? Should it have any impact at all?

Obviously Liverpool do. Because all we've heard for months is Liverpool losing at Anfield is down to Liverpool fans not be there.
Which is a croc of sh*te, as Liverpool fans have been inside Anfield for 30 years without seeing Liverpool win the title.

Agreed, it is because we are playing crap at present. Lack of motivation, lack of a system to get the best out of Thiago, missing Henderson and Fabinho in midfield...lots of reasons but nothing to do with a crowd

Re Thiago, I don’t think he is the type of player you needed. Your last 3 seasons were based on high energy pressing in midfield, with long diagonal balls into the channels to keep the pressure on. He simply does not fit that and trying to fit him in takes away the pressing to some degree. You either need to change the way you play to a more “city” type passing game or buy players in the mould of Wynaldum/Fabinho to keep up the pressure in the middle of the park.
You have a massive summer coming up as you will have to potentially replace Milner, Thiago and Wynaldum as well as buying a decent centre back

Summed up my thoughts exactly, great player as Thiago may be, Klopp, if it was him that wanted him, made a mistake in thinking that he could fit him in to the style we played that had worked.
I said it at the start of the season that I had City as favourites for the league due to our lack of squad depth. We may have a good team but you need a squad like City have.
Spot on...a massive summer...but will the yanks put their hands in their pockets!!!!

I am not sure they will in this climate. Should have spent on a defender last summer

Fair play.

I've given you a like for that.
 
How is Liverpool allowed to play Kabak if the entire Turkish squad is supposed to be in isolation ffs (as we were for Soyuncu)
 
On the day Liverpool relinquished their only PL title ;-), and City are about to take it back after loaning it out to Liverpool for just one season, more madness from RAWK.

As odd as it sounds, this is 100% spot on.

Back then they at least knew who they were. They stuck in there with their club despite the constant yo-yoing up and down the leagues. They had a quite admirable self-deprecating humour about them and a humility sadly lacking in their neighbours. You could also talk with them in a sensible manner too.

Sometimes, wanting something is not the same as having it. Of course, they always aspired to bigger things but, like what happens with some lottery winners, the reality isn't what they thought it would be. The same old insecurities are always present. The deep-seated feelings of being a fraud are always there too. Living on millionaires' row is one thing, but you always feel defensive and fraudulent when you realise the others earned their way to where they are now the hard way, but all you are is the local top-end drugs importer who grooms kiddies to sell your poison for you or someone who got lucky on the Lotto. You aren't going to fit in, and you get bitter about the fact. You have the trappings, but you get no respect. No one wants you there, no one respects you being there and, other than the arselickers and new hangers-on attracted to the money, no one cares about you either.

Abu Dhabi apologists will just have to learn to suck it up. The club they once followed is now dead and gone. Reputation launderers bought the name and have hijacked the game for their own selfish ends. There can be no respect for that from anyone who cares for football and cares for humanity. So, either own what you now are and get on with it, or shut the fuck up and stop whingeing and whining, pretending to be victims in all this.

Maybe the decent ones left who followed what was Manchester City could form their own club and salvage some self-respect once more. Maybe they could leave behind the abhorrent sportswash that has trashed their name and reputation and build something real back up again? It would mean pottering about in the lower leagues, but lets face it, that's were you were always at your happiest.
