Oh, of course. Right you are, Mr Hicks. Our highly professional owner and chairman should follow your business model. So, Sheikh Mansour and Mr Khaldoun, here's the drill
1: Take out a whopping great loan for a new ground.
2: And then don't bother building it.
3: Publicly fall out with each other in a pathetically petty and childish manner which would make even Katie Price and Peter Andre consider you a laughing stock.
4: Undermine your popular manager by going behind his back and offering Jurgen Klinnsman his job.
5: Refuse to pay the money he wants for his main midfield target and sign a striker he doesn't want instead. And sell HIM back to his original employer at a loss six months later.
6: Forget to bid for the main midfield target the following summer, allowing a shrewd club to nip in and pick him up on the cheap.
7: Sanction the sale of one of your existing key midfielders and then replace him with an unproven foreigner who is injured until November.
The genius of Hicks and Gillet. Give me strength.
The very idea of these tobacco-chewing Deliverance extras offering business advice to our resident billionaires is like Rose West giving tips on childcare.

The ironic thing is that Liverpool fans are outraged with the way he and Gillett took over the club by the reverse takeover method and the way they have run the club since - e.g. pennies in net spending in the transfer window just past. They'd love to have our owners.
He's scared, simple as. Not for Liverpool as a club, just Liverpool as an investment vehicle for him and Gillett.

LOL I'm not in anyway annoyed about this either it is just hilarious.
"We are going to try really hard not to spend any money so we can get our club out of debt, so we think all the other premier league clubs should stop spending money too, especially Man City who may steal our chumps league spot, and thus we will lose even more money"
You just couldn't make it up!

We should apply his logic to the whole of society. The one's with the biggest debts limit the spending power of the one's with no debt and loads of readies. They must be real socialists at heart. How endearing.

Its a shame that Liverfools & Manure missed the boat on getting owners with money...instead they got owners who took out massive loans on the clubs assets to buy them in the first place! Such a shame...I wont sleep knowing this...PMSL

TBF he is only echoing what Mh has alluded to at the end of the last window that we would not see that level of spending again. Our owners are responsible but to get the required revenue means that city have to compete year in and year out in CL football it is where the cah and prestige is. The only way we were ever going to get there was to spend money. No doubt once we are there and we have got a squad capable of winning CL and Prem no doubt spending will drop off and the books will balance but we aren't forced to do this for another three years when these rules will affect CL qualification. No doubt once all the investment in the club is complete the owners will actually take money back from us but I have no doubt that is a long way off in the future.
Finally they are bricking it, they know the so called sky four is finished and we along with possibly spurs, everton and Villa are going to make it extremely uncomfortable for them all and I do include the munes in that. Nothing would give me the greatest pleasure to see the rags miss out on CL football.
