Liverpool Thread 2014/15

It seems that Sterling wants to leave because he wants to win trophies...........


so that's the Rags out of the running then.

I like this!

He's too lightweight and a liability, really hope we stay out of this one..!

I was relying on LFC to keep Utd out but Rodgers has alienated LFC's biggest asset and exploded their season.

He messed up last season as well by allowing expectations to get ridiculously out of hand.

Lucky for them that FFP is to be relaxed. Seriosly if that had stayed in place it would have been very bleak for LFC. Ironic that this was hailed as good news for City when the biggest beneficiaries are likely to be LFC who can spend big to get back when FFP would have seen them banned had they tried to do that

Liverpool won't spend big. They're owned by American investors who don't seem to have actually put any money into the club. It's all loans. They thought they'd be clever and introduce the so-called Moneyball system, where they buy undervalued assets to get success on the cheap and turn a profit.

Liverpool are more valuable now than when they bought them and as soon as they've got the 5 year loan for the stadium expansion back, they'll be off.

They got the club in very opportune circumstances for them, but if the club gets loaded with debt it's not going to look a screaming buy.

I wouldn't call it "opportune circumstances" I'd call it downright fucking dodgy.

I'm moving into wax products, because judging by the last posts it's going to be a growth industry.

Was thinking about buying shares before the Dipperpool Chelski game at the end of last season, would have had my retirement sorted :(

Exactly.

FFP suited FSG down to the ground – it meant there was a ready-made excuse for them not to put any of their own money into the club.

A ‘win’ for American investors in English football is not having a team out on the pitch challenging for trophies - it’s achieving return on their investment in the form of profit. Baffled as to why anyone thinks otherwise, to be honest.

Regarding Sterling, then people would be naïve to think that the club hasn’t been at least partly responsible for drip feeding the media with some of these stories of ‘greed’ in order to suit their own agenda – not that Sterling’s camp isn’t culpable too in this sorry mess though, of course.

The club is run by successful, unscrupulous business men - oh, and Ian Ayre – Sterling (like Suarez) is a commodity that FSG will look to ‘trade’ as and when they can maximise their profit on him – if that is deemed to be this summer then he’ll be sold this summer, if it’s next summer then that’s when he’ll go – they’ll then invest the money in other ‘up and coming’ commodities that they will again hope to cash in on when their stock is at its highest.

The accompanying ‘noise’ around it all is just to appease the masses and keep the Liverpool ‘brand’ alive, so that the LFC ‘family’ / tourists / social misfits that turn up at Anfield from fuck knows where on their once in a lifetime trip every couple of weeks keep turning up, keep spending their money in the club shop and keep buying into everything that is good about the club in 2015 – which is not fucking much at this moment in time, to be absolutely honest.

Very good post that mate and sums it up perfectly.
