Looking at the comments on that City thread on RAWK it seems to confirm my suspisions about the make-up of Liverpool fans, in terms of character.
Some of the best natured, most sporting fans around, alongside some of the most deluded, bitter, hypocritical supporters in football.
The ones that moan about our spending are the most preposterous. It was Liverpool's greed and naked self-interest, as much as any other English club, that created the commercial environment that made English clubs such an appealing investment prospect to the likes of Abramovich and Mansour. They, as a club, fully expected the moves they actively pursued to concentrate more wealth and power at the top of the English game to only benefit themselves and those they were in bed with. They expected, with casual ease, to be able to contain the external forces that would normally be brought to bear in any other sphere of commerce. They expected the pieces on the board to remain in their control. This is not how the world of big business operates. It is why Nokia, for many years a company at the forefront of communications technology, are now a wounded animal. There are always forces at work that you may struggle to contain, especially when there's a shit-load of money to be made.
Rather than get angry with City about the way modern football is, perhaps they should look to the people that ran their club in the 80's and 90's, sat, as they did, in smoke filled rooms, devising ways they could conspire to fist-fuck the rest of English football. Some might call what went on to be "financial doping", others might refer to it as "cheating".
Their club, and it would seem its supporters, cared little about any form of financial fair play back then. It's only now, hampered by the beast that they played a significant role in creating, are they concerned about leveling the playing field. Perhaps if their club had previously displayed a little more consideration for interests that extended beyond their own then maybe modern football wouldn't be such an anathema to them.
Perhaps those supporters should pause for a while and consider the role their club played in creating the footballing landscape they claim to loath and want so desperately to change.
After all, it's very much a part of their history.....

They make it sound like we've just spent £35 million on Andy Carroll, mind you what sort of dumb fuck would do that?

I think you're trying to hook a few big ones here coleridge. Go have a read of RAWK on their Manchester City thread for a hour or two and see what a great English club they are. I would but I'm banned for posting some home truths
