“Can you imagine LFC as the club with unlimited money?” said Klopp. “Imagine Kylian Mbappé came here. Imagine Bellingham came here, Haaland. It is not us, it just does not fit. We won what we won and we did it the Liverpool way. We had hard conversations and other clubs didn’t do that in the same time."
They were in balls deep for Bellingham until he turned them down - lying arsehole\
He's a proper snide, disingenuous twat
This is the narrative, I'm afraid. Both the rags and the dippers are apparently being run on the budget of a non-league club. That's how they have always been run. Poor, down-at-heel lads from a council estate: holes in the knees of their trousers, kicking an old, deflated plastic ball on a bit of wasteland out the back. Loveable little rogues with their impish grins and their gift of the gab, cheeky fellers, every one of 'em.
But just a bit further along the road is the much loathed Cyril Sneer Stadium. Owned by some mega-rich foreigner with more money than anyone on planet earth. The plastic, formed-overnight club that play their home games there are known as 'Citeh.' The club has a rich history that goes back a good week or so, and is so wealthy it employs actors to come and watch the games because they have no real fans.
Citeh players, when they're not quaffing their Rosè Champagne and buying 12 bedroom country mansions which they then have demolished, just for the fun of it, often go down to the wasteland and take the piss out of the poor, hard-up lads on the estate, where they set light to wads of £20 notes right in front of the starving little lads.
Afterwards, the Citeh players are driven back to one of their favourite gourmet restaurants where they feast on imported wine, lobsters and quails eggs, and generally enjoy the fruits of being pampered, spoilt, overpaid prima-donna's with nothing better to do with their time.
Meanwhile, back on the wastelands, the kids wait to be called in by their mothers because she has scraped enough money together and bought a solitary fish finger for her thirteen kids to share.
