Liverpool are right, we can never equal their history.

they were bankrolled to success by Littlewoods pools a long time before the Premier League was formed
 
Surely the funniest part of Liverpool's history is that they - along with the rags and Arsenal - were the prime movers in the formation of the Premier League but they've never yet managed to win the bloody thing!

Liverpool won most of their titles in the 70s and 80s. On top of any external cash coming in, their success bred success in a similar way to Utd/Arsenal during the premier years.

While the money was shared out more evenly than today, Liverpool still had the consistent big crowds plus the extra cash that came from winning the league, cups and Euro trophies. It wasn't as extreme as now, and the rest of the league was much more evenly matched, but Liverpool had a small financial edge and as the BIG ONE they were also the most attractive transfer for most players.

Where they compare favourably with United is that the margin between then and the other teams was smaller, so it still a reasonable achievement to stay on top. With United and Arsenal it was simply a matter of being at the top at the right time. By the mid 90's they were just competing with each other, and had such a financial advantage, that it would have taken a truly bad manager for either team to have failed.
 
By the way the "World Series" isn't a global competition that only the Yank's take part in.

Originally back in the day, the play off's were sponsored by the World Newspaper. Hence the World Series

Long since dissolved but the name stuck....


I personally don't want to emulate anyone elses history. Lets make our own!
