Liverpool thread 2019/20

[LFC-Fans]

She's right. You are nothing to look at, we are a much better footballing team. You press high, work hard and have 2 huge fuckers at centre half who just bypass the midfield and play into the front 3. Full backs pushed up and whipping crosses in. It's simple stuff. But more than anything, you are SO FUCKING LUCKY.

I agree. You're phenomenal and were are bad.

Ah right you mean when you had a game in hand? Ok

Liverpool went 7 points ahead of city that game. We have never been 10 points clear of city. Prove me wrong

If Van Dick gets injured you’re fucked. He is the only player you have that would be an automatic start in this City team.

Try doing some homework before spouting off - oh, my bad, you are a dipper fan

This is how and why the rag and scouse media have influence by repeating it was only ever 7 points....armchair plastic fans believe it...If you tell a lie often enough people believe it to be the truth

A bailout is when a company, football club in this case borrows money as can no longer finance itself, exactly the position liverpool found themselves in with Hicks and Gillette, the money is borrowed to them on condition they sold the club within six months, why you think this was not a bailout is beyond me as the club needed the money or to be sold ASAP to carry on operating as they were only able to service the debt they were in, A BAILOUT.

Also due to the ongoing issues worldwide financial situation at the time, many people though that a government owned bank had better things to lend public money to then a football club bought by two chancers who were then supported by public money.

As above link states, without being sold liverpool would more than likely of entered administration that very week, the money your current owners paid was only to clear The RBS debt and they pretty much bought liverpool for free other than the debt repayment, even though at the time there was legal argument over two other bids which were greater than the Fenwick bid, but due to liverpool board inside dealings were ignored, so liverpool bankrupt, owners supported by public money, inside dealing on the board for the lowest bid, a public owned bank excepting just debt repayment when they could have actually sold for a profit, all to avoid liverpool going into administration, BAILOUT.

The RBS loaned public money to liverpool’s owners and then had to take them to court as those very same owners were going to enter administration and fuck off much of that public money, and then when the RBS took them to court to get the money back, still ended up selling it for the least bid as board members had obviously made backhanded deals with the current owners, the liverpool way la...

That's a frankly insane way of looking at it. RBS didn't own the club, so it made no difference to them who it was sold to. The only thing that matters was that they are repaid in full - which happened. If the club was sold for a higher value, RBS wouldn't have made a penny extra.

The loan from RBS wasn't made in order to keep them going or because Liverpool were going bankrupt at the time of the original loan, it was made as commercial loan to the owners before they ran into trouble. RBS made a huge number of commercial loans, many of them defaulted which caused their own problems, but the loan to Liverpool wasn't made at the time RBS were in trouble, and was still a publicly listed company - the first loan being in 2007.

Accusations of insider dealings by the board also make no sense. Hicks/Gillette were forced to give full authority to the board members in order to complete their previous refinancing, which was made in order to avoid a default at the time. These board members then acted against HG when they forced the sale in order to prevent RBS taking the club into bankruptcy . HG have already tried going to court over this and comprehensively lost.

The role of the board was to act in the best interests of the club - not the shareholders (contrary to normal policy). There were no expressions of interest in buying the club that were deemed to be better than Fenway, and only HG have claimed otherwise, without providing any evidence.

They looked fairly average today and were lucky to get the win, but it's an incredible run they're on whichever way you look at it. We're going to have put in an almighty effort to beat them to the title again this season.

 

[bondsman]

Shit performance from your boys today, another goal from a shit shot that an under 10 keeper could have saved

First shot of the game and he threw it in

 

[City Raider]

Scousers getting giddy at fingers fumbling under the blouse stage as usual. Will have shot their load way before the real action starts.

Unlucky, no matter what narrative you want to spin, your early game put you 10 points clear not 7, so you blew a 10 point lead my scouse friend and you will blow this 8 point lead you have fluked today.

Have a good day.

Ah right you mean when you had a game in hand? Ok

So when the BBC and Sky say you're 8 points clear right now, it's actually wrong because we have a game in hand?
