I think Liverpool will be in top 4 for the first half of the season the fixtures seem favourable and one thing with Liverpool fans they will get right behind the team

Re: Liverpool FC Up For Sale?

Liverpool owners selling club for £350million

The Fenway Sports Group, which owns Liverpool F.C. of England, has decided to put the club up for sale, reports The Sun.

The company has become disenchanted since paying £300million for Liverpool in 2010.

Despite spending £187million on players, they have not got near the top of the English Premier League.

The US owners plan to receive £350million from the sale of the club.

Liverpool had approached oil giant Saudi Aramco to discuss sponsorship months ago. Aramco is thought instead to have proposed a takeover

Throwing good money after bad.

It strikes me as a carefully worded denial but I could be reading too much into it.

Despite them being one of the clubs screaming for a true break-even requirement, they've made nearly £100m losses in the past two years and the owners have put an additional £50m cash in. They won't carry on doing that as infinitum but with the extra TV money coming in from this season I'd be surprised if they didn't give it at least one more year.

Its interesting you make this point because a couple of weeks ago I spent a few minutes tracking their financial performance over the last 5-6 years and when you look at the significant sums they have lost and then read postings on their forum about how its a crime that Chelsea and Man City live beyond their means and how its a greater crime when owners put sums in that haven't been earned through football and how they wouldn't want to support a club whose owners inject funds well, it really does make you smile.

Bill Shankley was vastly overrated, 8 trophies in 14 years(one was winning the fizzy pop league.), Mancini has a better trophy ratio. Bob Paisley is the person who deserves all the credit. Discuss.

That's quite laughable.

Paisley does have a better trophy haul than Shankley; it's a fact. However, Shankley was the man who got them on their way.

Can't see them finishing in the top 4 though. That would mean them having a better season than (at least) one of the current incumbents, Which I think is beyond them. Also, if (when?) they lose the grand wizard of the Merseyside branch(?) of the KKK, they'll be rightly fucked.

Are they playing all the teams that finished bottom half twice up to halfway then?

Really don't understand what you mean waspish.

It really is incredible isn't it?

With or without Suarez I don't think they'll break into the top 4.

There's just a lack of real depth in quality in each position, although I'm looking forward to seeing Coutinho in action again.

Not being in the Europa League might help in that regard though as there will be less cumulative fatigue that way as the season goes on.

I don't know you know.

Seems Eriksen is going there and Coutinho is a fine player plus Sturridge was banging them in for them last season and Sterling isn't a bad player.

Plus they have bid for Bernard as well.

Both Eriksen and Bernard are just rumours, isn't likely that either will be going.

Rodgers has been quoted saying he's only looking for cover at left back (Aly Cissokho possibly) and another striker.
