Liverpool thread 2020/21

[aguero93:20]

The post I quoted said Barca still owe £40m of the Coutinho money, which they do

They owe it to the bank Liverpool sold the debt to

Liverpool have had the money

That's cash flow. It's also useless to them as income. They can't set it against transfer fees. It's a non entity.

///Everything you say is true. But on the other hand I wouldn’t want my club to be owned by a sugar daddy. I never want to see my club sack Gerrard the way Chelsea sacked Lampard. It’s just not who we are.

When people talk about catching up with City, I think they don’t realize they are talking about a team that spent more than half a billion ONLY on defenders in the last 2-3 years. There is no catching up unless you get petrol money and that’s a fact. I am in no way saying they influence referees or there is match fixing, but I can say that they somehow have some influence on FIFA and UEFA. They are allowed spend money like there’s no tomorrow, either barely regulated or even if regulated they find loopholes with sponsorships and other ways that I am not clever enough to understand. Football is completely different than what it was, and it is very easy to get lost in it. We have to be careful with our spending.

Young and new supporters are more enthusiastic about stats, silverware and big names and I absolutely understand that, but I just can’t be arsed about those. I mean of course silverwares are great, but for me Liverpool is more than that. It’s just for me though, so I am not saying this is how it should be for everybody.//

what a pile of bollocks

Kin'el, I know

That's what I'm saying. Liverpool have had the money. Even though Barca still owe £40m, it isn't Liverpool's money

//Honestly, the FSG approach is logical in any other business then football, when you compete against owners like Man City who treat their clubs as vehicles for sports washing. It's a bloody fact that absent their corrupt capital, we win in 13/14, we win in 18/19. Am I sad we did not reload when the iron was hot? Yes, but I also hate that we have to compete against that lot and their ill-gotten gains.//

More bollocks

Any club or fans in the country wouldn’t give a fuck where the money came from if it meant competing with the best and buying the best then fuck were cones from .

Weird even for the City-obsessed Liverpool Echo, this. Would they have thrown bricks and bottles at him like our other coach?

Barcelona owe the money, but Liverpool sold the debt to a bank
Liverpool have had the cash

& I’m sure I read it was £29 million, not £40 million, but could well be wrong

It’s not entirely a non entity to FSG & John Henry tho....it can go straight into John Henry’s account can’t it? ;)

No idea if that’s true, but it’s amusing if it is
