Khaldoon's End of Season Interview

[kaz7]

Khaldoon out?

He akso said they have done good work with the club for the kits,NYC has ben more city with their home kits than we have been for ages,if it is the purple thing then defo khaldoon out

The thing is he still never even mentioned one word about the main detractors; the media.

The name of our club is dragged through the mud by the media far more than it is by Tebas, the Glazers or John Henry. But he never said a word about that.

While it raised a smirk from me for him to talk about these people derogatorily, he still just told us to ignore them and just be concerned about facts.

The most interesting parts of the interview was that it appears he - and Sheikh Mansour - are here for the long haul and that he, and the club, are pro-Safe Standing.

I would have liked more detail on that and the long term plans of the site as a whole. We didn’t get it, but they don’t tend to work like that anyway and only release information on that side of the business when it’s set in stone.

He was never going to take on the media head on,instead he went for the sources of the story,other clubs and high profile people to be taken down like that is amazing,with the stadium stuff every step is subject to reglelations so the plans might not translate into reality,that's probably why he doesn't promise anything concrete,we have always known they are going nowhere

Sorry if already posted but is there a full transcript of part 1 anywhere please.

Williams enticed Shankly to leave First Division Huddersfield to go to Second Division Liverpool with the carrot of having more money to spend than Huddersfield had ambition to.

Shankly bought 24 players in one Summer to gain promotion.

Liverpool failed to go up.

“Shareholder John Moores felt the club needed to spend more money on players to be successful and encouraged chairman T. V. Williams to do so.”
From Williams, John (2010). Reds: Liverpool Football Club – The Biography.

Shankly signed Ian St John for a club record and the second highest fee paid for any player in Europe that Summer. As well as other signings.

They gained promotion. Signed more players. Then Liverpool won the league title and FA Cup.

They were a languishing Second Division club and without Moores’ funding they would have remained so.

Liverpool then went 6 years without winning anything so went on a spending spree never seen before in English football. They broke their club transfer record a number of times, the record ever spent on a teenager or a record spent on a player in a certain position numerous times... they never looked back.

That’s when Liverpool went on to dominate the next two decades.

Spot on.

Everton were the biggest and best supported club in Liverpool. Shankley was manager of Huddersfield Town when he sold us Denis Law for a record fee. If I recall, he applied to be City manager as we were a top club. He was big mates with Busby, Mercer and other pre-war players who went into management with new approaches. The move to Liverpool appeared strange until they started splashing the cash first to catch up Everton and then to dominate.

Their success required massive injections of capital and was the start of the Liverpool fans sense of entitlement and that they could sign anyone they wanted.

Oh I agree with you and glad he didn’t mention the media. I just don’t think that was the most important part of the interview for what I’m interested in and he just wasn’t asked and didn’t go into as much detail on the things I was interested in hearing that much and wasn’t asked and never mentioned ticketing.

I'm glad he didn't say anything about the media and just treated them with the contempt they deserve, they are invisible to us. Or should be. Our best line of defence against them has been just quietly and successfully getting on with playing the game on the pitch.

Great interviews, I would buy the man a meal.............. not that I've ever got nearer than shaking his hand!!
