Liverpool thread 2019/20

[BrianW]

Poor old Liverpool, not a penny to rub together despite winning the Champions League. Maybe they should put a stall on the Pier Head and sell candles and house bricks to raise money.

(EDIT) Updating an old favourite:

There's a hole up in the ceiling
And the Anfield Road is leaking
Jurgen Klopp has got no money
Feeds the team on bread and honey
What are we living for?
To see the Scousers in Division Four.

It's tiresome but he's obviously getting in his excuses early. City did spend big before, yes, but there not in the same brackets as Barca, Real and PSG when it comes to throwing cash about now.
Those 3 clubs are irrelevant anyway, he was only interested in referring to City to suggest that, if they fall behind City again its because they can't compete financially.

Fuck off Klipperty, hypocritical wanker.

Liverpool/Klopp is recieving criticism about the lack of spending, after last year's spending spree. But FSG business strategy is completely different from that of (for example) Manchester City.

Like he said, it's not really criticism, is just stating a fact.

City Football Group use Manchester City to spear head a long term strategy for global domination, and their business strategy go beyond Manchester City. They see no problem investing large amount of money now, with the potential of a much higher reward in the future. FSG is using a different strategy with much less risk taking and no other ambition than to make the individual company (Liverpool FC) grow.

What I would take offense to, if I was a City fan, is to be grouped together with PSG. PSG is a really strange project while City Football Group are on target to achieving their very ambitious goals.

But it isn't stating a fact is it? City cannot "spend constantly".

Klopp knows exactly what he's doing here, i.e. stirring up the antagonism towards us and it isn't the first time that he's done it. Klopp was likeable for a long time, weird but likeable. But in the past year or so his behaviour has become more and more ****ish/cultish by the week.

Big mistake not strengthening this summer

Moan moan moan,getting his excuses in early

The German ken Dodd can't do a press conference without mentioning us. He is sounding more like wenger everyday, we kept him in a job for years as he would just blame Arsenal's short comings and lack of investment in the tranfer market on city's financial power ( doping) whilst he got payed huge bonuses for his astute tranfer policy of selling off his best players to his premier league rivals. You keeping making up excuses Jurgen and we will keep hovering up the trophies!

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

It seems very strange that Klopp makes his bleating statement about City being able to spend what they want, totally ignoring the fact that the dippers and other cartel members forced UEFA down the line of FFP which deliberately RESTRICTS our spending !

And Herr Klopp is not a hypocrite ?

Fucking shitty pathetic club, supporters and now manager - the full set of cnuts.

They had a pretty good season to be fair but: If Mahrez had scored a penalty and Pickford and Loris not thrown one in, Rico not dropped the ball at Fulham and then given a penalty away, the linesman at Newcastle not fallen for a blatant dive to give them a free kick as well as them playing against Speroni, the oldest PL player last season and only winning 4-3), they might have only got 86 points. If Sergio scores a penalty at WHL, or Spuds equaliser is disallowed or Sterling’s goal stands, they might have won nothing and finished at least 14 points behind us.
I think they might well finish in the top three but they’ll not be anywhere near as close to us as last season.

I don't think 97 points could ever be objectively described as "pretty good".

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Class, dignity, respect.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

With, of course, the implication that their shortcomings will be all down to our financial ‘malfeasance’.
Klopp didn’t come up with this all by himself, there will have been messages passed down from above.
I’m sick to death of explaining the facts to assorted fans of other clubs, but I think it will go on for a long time yet.

Why do you even bother?
