Liverpool Thread - 2022/23

[sir baconface]

I'm going to stick my neck out and make a prediction that the general opinion of the RAWK blowhards will evolve from "I'm walking away from football if we get taken over by an oil state" to "I'll take anyone willing to pump untold billions into the club because Man City have forced us to do it and for the good of football we'll have to accept it, and we're not hypocrites really".

You’re Mystic Meg and I claim my £5.

Spot on though :-O

Can't compete?! What a load of complete bollocks. Course they could complete they just didn't want to.
There are plenty of other Premier league teams that really can't compete, but they don't bitch and moan. Can you imagine the shit storm, if all them owners of all them clubs just said fuck it 'we can't compete'
Entitled cunts.

Very true. Liverpool’s problem is that they don’t know their place in the football hierarchy. 5/6 usually but demand more.

It’s about time the owners released a statement saying we can only fund the squad to achieve Europa league. Stop trying to be us -:)

No doubt potential investors will be vetted for any involvement in oil, gas, banking, neo-liberalism, tax evasion, factory farming, Brexit, coal mining, racism, over-fishing, war crimes, employment of child labour, Trump worship, public schools, homophobia, deforestation, misogyny, PPE supply, seal clubbing, climate protesting, offshore investment, dog eating, futures trading, Holocaust denial, fracking, arms production, people trafficking, Putin admiration, Sun reading, sweatshops, peat digging or whaling.

You forgot money laundering.

That's exactly where they'll be heading if they get a state /Oil mob in charge.

It's just another angle on being victims but, this time taking a hit on their morals for every team in the country even though they're not part of England......

The timing of all this is very suspect. Curtis Warren is due to be released in November, co-incidence.

I don't think so.

Marvellous post

Never seen that before but surely thats a spoof one with an Evertonian commentating. If not its wonderful.

Apparently a rag mancunian did it.

Are the dippers that attract an option?? Huge outlay needed to buy them, not much room for any stadium expansion, deluded fans who think they are special and will turn on you very quick, ageing squad that needs huge investment and clubs around them that are already way ahead of them on and off the park. Shoulds like an utter headache and think many will stay clear.

My thoughts exactly, it will be interesting and hopefully funny watching this develop.

Bingo “ Madrid have to come to Anfield everyone knows what that means “
Yes we do Bingo -
Coach attacked
Onside goals disallowed
Cheap penalties
VAR
Offside goals allowed
Pushed into advertising hoardings
Jibbing
Away fan getting shit kicked by 20.

How’s that for starters ?

FSG say they can no longer compete which probably means they won't try-why pay 80million for Bellingham with no prospect of a return on that investment? I believe we have already seen the future of FSG's investment in players during the last transfer window.
The best thing that can happen here is nobody comes in to buy them and Liverpool slide further down the table due to a lack of investment.

Div 2 in a few seasons?

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Is anybody able to determine how much FSG take out of the club from their published accounts ?

I am not going to be reading Liverpool's accounts, but pretty sure I've read that they don't take money out at all. There may have been loans for building work etc., which were then repaid, but I think that's all.

Ok thank you.

Has anyone just seen that posh slag from the anfield crap on ITV local news....

Talking utter nonsense…. They are so entitled.

If you remember?

Thousands of Liverpool fans voted with their feet in protest at ticket prices as Anfield witnessed its first walkout in its 132-year history.

Supporters’ groups organised the action for the 77th minute of the match against Sunderland after a £77 match ticket (up from £59) and a £1,000 season ticket for next season were announced this week.

The club FSG) argued the new structure - which includes 45% of match tickets decreasing in price, 64% of season tickets being reduced or staying the same in cost, better availability for local fans and around 1,500 £9 tickets for category C games – offers greater accessibility and affordability.

However, that was not enough to placate fans’ groups as upwards of an estimated 10,000 of the 44,179 inside the stadium got up and left their seats in the 77th minute, with long queues forming for the exit.

——

Good luck to any new owner wanting to increase season ticket and match ticket prices to increase matchday revenue. Not a chance wll that happen with the Cult.

And don’t forget, there is little on no future scope for increasing hospitality at Anfield once the Anfield Road stand is done.

Compare that to what City have done at the Etihad by increasing the hospitality and corporate massively. At times to to the detriment of our fans.

I’m guessing Klopps recent outbursts re state funding were after he discovered his owners were shutting up shop and selling.

Or had got the message that Bellingham wasn't signing for them ?
