Liverpool Thread - 2022/23

[jrb]

Of course, it wouldn't be 'sportswashing' with them. It'd be about an upwardly mobile, developing country bringing some pride back to a historic & neglected club & restoring it to its rightful place.

And investing in Liverpool, a city that has been starved of investment by successive governments since Thatcher. (apart from getting billions in Objective One funding from the EU, along with billions in investment from successive governments since Thatcher) I bet Liverpool Council which is under government supervision and is being run by councillors and ex-councillors from other cities can’t wait for the Qataris to but LFC and to invest money in Liverpool.

We are painted as the harbingers of ruin for football, yet we’re about to enter an era where we’ll be well and truly gazumped in the transfer market by Chelsea, Liverpool and Newcastle. Perhaps Utd too if/when their ownership changes. Couple that with Pep’s departure (whenever that happens) and there’s a potential power swing on the cards. We need to absolutely nail our scouting and transfer windows over the next few years. Football is cyclical, and we need to fight to extend our cycle.

Agree and football is cyclical and I’m fine with that as long as we still in the mix as we will be but the scousers and the rags were never they have the full backing of the media to keep them relevant!

What's that phrase they have - don't you wish you were us?
Fuck me, how the mighty fall - 10 points off the top four, and Chelsea the same, having played a game more and spent a bank-full of money.
Scouser's latest saviour, Gakpo, didn't look up to much on Saturday, did he?
Can't believe they signed yet another forward instead of a decent midfielder.
You know they're struggling when Oxlade-Chamberlain appears, having started his annual 2 months-a-season availability.
City aren't playing great, but still second and with it all to play for.
"Don't you wish you were us?"

Nothing good for us will come out of a Middle Eastern takeover of Liverpool.

I will have a lot of fun exposing Liverpool hypocrisy among their fans and ex players in the media

That's the good that will come of it, IF both the whinging red teams get taken over (And I can see that happening) it'll be the end of the PL and the start of FA cup finals being played in the ME or a purpose built stadium on the roof of one of the tallest buildings on earth as different royal families try and try again to outdo each other in the bragging stakes.

I have a client who owns a property near Sefton Park. It's a property of reasonable architectural importance and crying out to be brought into residential use. We had to go back to the planners for consent to an extension on one of the planning conditions, at which point they came back with a fee proposal of £250k. The property remains undeveloped 2 years later. Bent as fuck and not fit for purpose.

Klopp says he has no plans to leave Liverpool

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he will not leave the club unless he is forced to, and hints at changes at Anfield during the summer.

Weirdly non of those two twats have any link at all to Liverpool FC, they are tourist heavily invested in a thing they have never ever had any real contact with.

 

[Akira]

Probably just one or two seasons, alot of us were saying they will hit their decline when a majority of their first teamers hit 30+ years old, with no proper young players to take over.

Funny everyone else saw it coming except Liverpool themselves.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

I think they've misinterpreted someone saying they've got catarrh.

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Another farce tonight the dippers should be out omafter the first game

 

[Gingers Dad]

I think they've misinterpreted someone saying they've got catarrh.

That's quite good that
As the saying goes the Scouse accent is a quarter English, a quarter Irish, a quarter Welsh and a quarter catarrh

 

[Blue Til Death]

Would be fucking hilarious if this is true. The backtracking will be like nothing we have ever seen

A global scouse moonwalk is on the cards..

Liverpool Echo.

As things stand there has been no bid lodged for Liverpool Football Club and no high level talks that are close to any kind of conclusion, with sources in the US telling the ECHO that little had changed since November and that there was, as yet, no "real" interest to come forward and engage with FSG around a takeover or investment.

Speaking to Bloomberg at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Mansoor bin Ebrahim Al-Mahmoud, QIA's CEO said: "Football, the clubs and the sport is becoming very commercialised in a way, especially now fans are looking into this as an experience, so they would like to and experience and entertain themselves.

"At the same time digitalisation is becoming very important for this. So, the business model of these institutions is becoming very commercialised and very investment friendly. You will not be surprised if we invest in this.

"We have not made our mind yet but this is a very commercially driven decision that we go through. And again, sports is becoming a very important theme as well, people are engaged more in a sport and digitalisation is making it more attractive to investors."
