What a blatant disregard of the facts and or distortion of the facts that piece of “journalism“ is. They really do seem to genuinely believe they have some god given right to be a “top” club. I fervently hope the likes of Everton are freed to invest and thereby push the yank venture capitalist clubs down to a level befitting their head in the sand, all change is bad unless it benefits Liverpool attitude. Had to smile at the reference to a careful strategic transfer policy - it’s probably the IT they nicked from us

The simple fact is that Liverpool's revenue was higher than ours last financial year. But we've had more to spend because we've spent 10 consecutive seasons in the CL since 2012

No wonder they are all so deluded

Reading between the lines, they are going to have to spend some serious money to remain relevant..

The Egyptian diver wants out, Wijnaldum is going, the water carrier, Dick van sore knee, Judas, Thiago, Fabihno and Matip are all first team picks and are all either long term injured or knocking on a bit..

Looking at what they have left..

Mane, Bobby the teeth, Shaqiri, Chamberlain, the centre halves from Shalke and Preston, Phillips, Williams, Adrian, Origi, the Greek fullback nobody's seen and Keita,

Without being rude, the vast majority of the above are, how best to phrase it.....?

Oh yeah..

.. a bit shit..!

Looks to me like FSG are none too keen to inject some serious funds into the club to keep them relevant too, especially when you factor in the loose change they coughed up for the 2 journeymen centre backs at 5 to midnight on the last day of the transfer window, after knowing for most of the season that they were short at centre back..

I'm hearing now they are trying to woo the racist biter back with a view to him replacing the Egyptian diver..

He's 34 years old ffs, didn't get a kick against chelski over 2 games recently and was eventually hooked.. sounds just what they need..

It really doesn't smack of a long term plan to me, more of a 'bleed them dry for as much as we can for as long as we can then fcuk off back to our rounders team in the US' sort of strategy..

Where's all their hard earned money gone ?

CL winners, PL* winners, World Champions even..

It appears their owners are following this year's Super Bowl owners business plan and are systematically sucking the life out of yet another, red shirted, PL club..

No top 4 finish or CL win this season will see them bobbing around in mid table with the tarquins sooner rather than later, being managed by slippy G whilst employing the racist biter and Morelos up front..



Fingers crossed..!

I doubt whether changing to FFP or it’s abolition will change the way we do business. Would be interesting for Everton though wouldn’t it, that’s who the Dippers should be most worried about

Bloomin hope so mate.
 
If any of you can be arsed looking on rawk the saltiness is a joy to behold. Human rights in the middle east, the 6-0 thrashing of Watford, and FFP all seem to matter again, in a way they didn't seem to matter when we were in 6th place before xmas or when Liverpool were 20 points ahead last year :-)

That reads wonderfully well.

It's seems so and that football runs on debt.
Perhaps the 'highest bidder' is the one who can put down the biggest initial payment?

So a club can take on as much debt as they want as long as the owners don't don't try to pay off that debt with new investment.
What's the point of FFP then?
Apart from trying to stop us, of course.

Don't think it's ever been like that.
Clubs have always bought players on instalments.

It would have been mostly cash before the 90s afaik, it was the Serie A and La Liga clubs in the 90s that started the buying on credit craze. That's how the likes of Betis were able to pay £21m for Denilson.

The rags haven't, of course. They have never ever had to buy players from other clubs in their entire history, they've got a continuous supply of the finest players ever being churned out on a conveyor belt at the their academy...at least that's what two plastics told me at a Christmas get-together a few months back. They were deadly serious, but the rest of us were howling with laughter.

That article is one of the most biased and most loaded against City I have read. The part where it states that City were found to have not cooperated with Uefa’s investigators and showed blatant disregard to the process really is clutching at straws on their part. We were found innocent get over it and stop trying to find guilt on City’s part where there isn’t any. Oh and the Liverpool can’t compete with all the rich clubs really is wearing thin now.

I had a rag mate tell me once Chris Smalling came from their academy. I never knew playing non league and then premier league football was part of the rags academy.

Is there anyone who can explode this myth that the rags have had a youth team player in their team continuously since year dot? There was a time when professional football teams didn’t have youth set ups and academies. It’s like 650 million fans world wide and the greatest club in the world, if you repeat a lie enough times it becomes fact.

I think the claim is that they have had a youth player in the matchday squad ie at least on the bench for decades. I suspect that is also true of most other clubs in English football. It's another one of those twisted statistics.

They should be renamed Academy United and all their players were selected from Mancunian schools, the prospects have their lineage checked to ensure they have no blues under the beds.

That claim relies on John O'Shea, they signed him on professional papers directly from Waterford Athletic at 17 so basically it's bullshit. It's like us trying to claim Iheanacho as an academy player.

Do you really think there’s a scouser anywhere on earth that truly gives a flying fuck about human rights in the Middle East? The only human rights they give a fuck about are the ones that prevent the cops kicking fuck out of them after they’ve just robbed Boots of 4 pairs of hair straighteners, a pack of bic razors, a USB stick and a chuppa chup then led them on a ten mile chase on a stolen moped .

I'd assumed that if they can live with murdering other fans, they can probably live with human rights abuses abroad and Watford conceding a few goals tbh.

They weren’t at all happy when DIC pulled the plug years ago.
No talk of human rights back then was there!
