A lack of reassurance from Tolmie tonight doesn't bode well

As well as Anonymous saying he had been threatened then deactivating his twitter!

Judging by the first line of your reply, I imagine you don't remember HRH Sheikh Mansour making £2.25 billion from Barclays shares.

Sterling's contract has two years to run. If you don't sell him this Summer, his transfer value will decline rapidly, just as Gareth Barry's did when he entered the final year of his at Villa. Do you remember him?

FSG might be full of people with great business acumen, but even they can't stop a player's contract running down.

He did better than his cousin prince alwalid of saudi who lost a 14 billion investment in citibank

Alot of people got rich the last few years with Barcap investments,they didn't get hit hard by the financial mess of 2008 that most banks and institutions did with the subprime market crash.

I think my only issue is....we play hardball with teams and wont pay the asking price for a player we really need but then on the other hand, we are willing to sell a player like Jovetic for a cut down price of 12mil (if rumours are correct).....surely, this is as bad or worse than paying a teams valuation of a player that could help us for the next 10 years?....just my opinion but think its fair to ask the question....

Who's the question to? None of us know jack shit.

How come you never built a new stadium in the park? Or elsewhere?

I think the owners wanted to do the same as they did with Fenway and stay and develop,cheaper as well.

Chelsea are rebuilding stamford bridge to a total of £500 million.

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

Jovetic's value has decreased because he's been a flop with us and his injury record is appalling.We'll never get more than £15m back for him.

I agree...but we still willing to take a big hit on this sale for a 25year old international that must have value to another team....I just think, if we going to play hardball it needs to work both ways.....

Ask peter Kenyon when he was at Chelsea regarding Gerrard.

I would say his agent was the one who did most the mishandling.

Look at what all 3 of his clients have done.

Odemwingie QPR fiasco,Berahino Interview and angling for a move and now Sterling the last 6 months.

You will have a cracking player but he has a tit for a agent and this won't be good reading for him in the morning. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...Ward-West-Brom-star-becoms-disillusioned.html

It was Liverpool that first went public with details of the contract negotiations and then orchestrated this phoney war through the media.

Is their a single former Liverpool player who hasn't had their say on it?

Citibank did well there. Some enterprising club should try and bring them in as a sponsor, they are minted.

We don't give a fuck what his cousin did.

We don't give a fuck what Liverpool FC do.

Hypocrites.

No point playing hardball when you know you're going to lose.

Asset stripped?

They are financing the stadium to 60K with the main stand halfway done,Got a kit deal doubled per annum and grown commercial activities by almost 90 million pounds this last season.

If anything it looks like they're building their asset up not having it depreciate in value.

The did the same in Boston with the Redsox and Fenway park,growing financially to compete and overhauling the stadium

Pity they couldn't find some 'financing' for the local residents as well, instead of making their lives hell before driving them out of their homes with payouts well below market value.
But that's the moral of a hedge fund manager, one you clearly applaud. Meanwhile you say the club is rebuilding yet you've fallen back in the pecking order, again.
Meanwhile our lottery winners have supported the local community, providing them with sports pitches, a community sports hub with swimming pool and a sixth form college. Whilst having a successful football team.
So forgive me for not falling for your delusion.

Really? I thought being a Bluemoon ITK was a full time job.

So are you saying that Sheikh Mansoor is a poor businessman because his cousin, who could still buy and sell fsg, once lost a bet?

Nah, they just don't want to pay for a new stadium. That's why they lent Liverpool the money for the IKEA stand instead of investing it as share capital. They want it paid back and quickly too.

Hi jaigurugoat, thanks for your reply mate.....So I guess from your comment that you think we'll win with Sterling, Pogba and De Bruyne? I'm hoping so!;)

 

[@BluePhil8]

You can have as much faith as you want in the club but no one can deny that it isn't looking brilliant at the minute.

Khaldoon, I love the man, but that interview where he promised high quality signings... What the hell was he thinking saying that? He's just setting the fans up for disappointment. Our top 3 targets have been known publicly for months now. Pogba, Sterling, De Bruyne. Why now, when we should be edging closer to finalising the deals, does it look like 2 of them are close to collapsing because we don't want to pay the asking prices. I literally can't cope if this turns in to Hazard mk2 and we walk away over £4m or £5m. It's just been amateurish the last few windows and we need to make a strong statement this summer and we need to do it soon before we lose out again.

Flap over.
