Whilst I have no time for Leeds United and their supporters, having lived there during their peak Revie years, they are preferable to Liverpool FC and their supporters.

Some of us remember when Liverpool was a second Division Club and Everton was the top club in the city. Everton supporters, like Leeds ones, were never the best but infinitely preferable to the red scouser cult that has evolved. rarely a mention of how Liverpool success was bought by Moores family gambling proceeds investment.

No doubt Liverpool will be facing competition from Everton again once the new stadium move happens. Leeds do not have this competition. The FSG gamble failed but they can still expect a good return on their investment 'tho not as much as they wish.

Leeds is a great shout for an investor. Larger city than Newcastle plus support from all over Yorkshire and loads of space round Elland Road to develop it plus fantastic transport links with the motorway right next to it. Plus a history going back decades of winning stuff, albeit not in recent years. No brainer in comparison to Liverpool for a return on investment.

They (fsg) would very poverty and not able to keep up with "state run clubs".

And no one will pick up on the fact that fsg have earnt £2.7b from purchase to sale.

No money my arse. And the lfc fans swallow it!

That’s what they fail to see. It’s hilarious, they protest over £10 ticket rise but will miss the fact they are being robbed in plain sight of a mere $2.7b taken back to Boston.

Still can’t see anyone paying that.

Or Wednesday, but then Wednesday are 2 leagues down and no1curr about non-PL teams.

This is one of the many reasons why I hate the plastic telly clapper fans from Nigeria or India or the USA or wherever: they literally cannot conceive of supporting a team who doesn't win things. Like, they can't understand why Everton fans still go to Goodison despite us being crap and battling relegation AGAIN. Or why people would choose someone like Huddersfield/Rotherham/Plymouth Argyle/Oldham over a Big 6 team. The minute Liverpool go down the toilet, they'll fuck off to Real Madrid or whatever.

I work with a Moroccan guy who lived in Spain for many years and whenever conversation turned to football he didn’t say much but it was clear he was a big Real Madrid fan, fair enough I thought. He showed me a pic once of his baby lad wearing a Juve top which I just put down to his wife being Italian

So one time he comes in the office wearing a Utd shirt, so I go “Ayoub what the fuck are you doing with that on mate” - turns out all these years he’s literally just been a Ronaldo fan and wherever he went Ayoub supported them.

It’s a funny old world.

Perhaps FSG will spend 500m of their 4bn buying Leeds after selling the Dippers …. [emoji15]

Oh yeah, Twitter is full of these types. They don't care about a club, they only care about certain players, usually Messi and Ronaldo, and they support whoever their fave plays for. What they'll do when their fave retires, I have no idea.

If they had any sense they would. There's even space to build a brand new stadium next to Elland Road so they wouldn't have to fuck about extending Elland Road whilst still using it, plus a railway line running straight past as well as direct access to the motorway network and the main ring roads in Leeds. If I was a multi-billionaire looking to invest, Leeds would be my first stop.
 
No doubt Klopp and his players have been aware of the FSG stance for a while. 2021/22 was probably the last throw of the dice for FSG to maximise profits.

The Klopp contract extension increasingly looks like a reward insurance policy rather than a commitment.
 
I know rawk is always good for a giggle, but the last line of this post is, well, .........
So likely spending a fair bit of money putting feelers out, and disrupting the club in the middle of the season, just so they can say 'See no-one wants to buy you, you're stuck with us and we're gonna carry on doing as we have' instead of just.....continuing doing what they have?
:D


What would be the benefit? There's not been protests or anything, they're not taking on a toxic fanbase.

The sounds of it they kept him in the dark and said they were in for the long haul when he signed his contract. They didn’t want this info coming out until the break for the World Cup but has been leaked earlier.

Surely the whole point of them buying Liverpool was that the cash was already being generated. They admitted they only went ahead because they thought FFP would prevent others competing, and even then they still wanted to create a "Super" league.

Leeds would have been a good buy for sensible owners in the early 90s, and they can build on their support to move up amongst mid-table clubs, but they're still £300m+ behind Liverpool and that gap can't be breached without significant cash.

I suppose they could take a chance, and use part of the profit to try, but as we've seen with Everton, it can be a huge money pit, and FSG don't look like that kind of outfit.
 
Well lets hope that this lot fuck off back to mid-table mediocrity, and then there cult following can go back to attending purps games instead

Imagine if this mob ended up relegated to division 2!

Muppets the lot of them
