They're going to tart up Anfield it would seem. Why risk hundreds of millions on a new 60,000 seater stadium when you might well be struggling to fill a 45,000 seater in a couple of seasons?

Re: Liverpool Thread 2012

I sure hope UEFA are gonna have the bollocks to kick City out of Europe when the time comes. If not, I look forward to watching them take on a £200m lawsuit from one Mr. John W. Henry and co.

what the fuck is this clown on? a lawsuit? for what ffs? doesn't this deluded fucker realise that sheikh mansour could buy and sell fsg and john henry before breakfast without blinking an eye. £200m is change found down the back of the settee for our owner. henry is a fucking pauper in comparison.

he's clinging on to some desperate wishful thinking if he hopes that uefa kick city out of europe because that might just nudge the dippers one place up the ladder for european qualification. from 8th to 7th.

All those jealous years and we can finally look down our noses at them. Feels good tbh. Though I think people get a bit too carried away on here. We were shit for like 100 years before now and then we say they're irrelevant because they've not had much success for three years amid financial turmoil.

I find it hillarious that there is a 112 page thread just about Liverpool this year and then we say they aren't a big club and are irrelevant.

Hated Dalglish, I see why they love him since he is accredited to building a fantastic 80's Liverpool side which is heralded as one of the greatest of all time among 60's Ajax, 90's Milan or the Barcelona of now. Shame he's such a grumpy old git nowadays incapable of getting his side to win more than two games on the bounce. Definitely lost his touch.

I don't understand why they all suddenly want Rafa back. Haven't they learned? I mean aren't they concerned with severing a relationship with another club legend of theirs? I mean I get it, they want to get back into the Champions League, and Rafa was the last man to do that but in the same breadth he's the man that took a side with Torres, Mascherno, Agger, Riena, Gerrard, Kuyt, Benayoun, Glen Johnson etc to seventh. A team that finished with 86 points a record for a second placed team (until now that is) to a measly 63.

I think Martinez is a very talented man. Is he the man to get them back to what what they were? I don't know. It's impossible to say. You never would have thought Capello would become what he is when he first won a league in Serie A. I think he'll do well for them but clearly their owners are more concerned with the director of football role(s) and that is where they expect the success to come from. Clearly because of the disastrous summer oversaw by Comolli and Dalglish, they never want 100m+ gross spend to be returned with almost nothing of note. This to me is why they seem to want to go for a 'head coach' so to speak instead of a manager like Rafa or Capello, who because of their pedigree would expect 100% control. Martinez would be able to galvanize the dressing room and get the best out of his players I suppose.

I get why they are worried about FSG considering the shambles that were H&G but FSG already restored a once great sporting brand in the Boston Red Sox to what they are now. They seem to want to do it again. They follow a simple model, if they win, FSG win. They don't have ridiculous resources like our owners but they are capable of building a sustained and prosperous sporting brand. They wouldn't have bought Liverpool for any other reason, considering the parallels you can draw between Liverpool and the Red Sox or even Anfield and Fenway Park.

Damn, I am so glad we've won the league. So so glad we aren't in that place when we came 10th and very unsure of what was to come. Big money signings not doing the business, incapable manager. I'm just glad we've finally left that 'in transition phase'.

665 pages on the Rags, 277 on the Spuds, only 113 for the Dippers after everything they've done this season; and nothing good? Actually shows how low/hated they are.

You'd already know that though, right?

We may lock the team topics and start new ones at the start of next season, just a note, the team threads are all merged from 100's of different thread over the season, I think they have worked really well and stops the forum getting over run
