But I have created a complete meltdown of Liverpool fans with my X post. The replies are insane, some of the shit that I have been called is mental. I haven’t laughed like this in a while.

I love the guy who spent ages putting together little graphs. He suggests there isn't a big 6, but actually three groups of 2, with poor Liverpool in the bottom group.

How anyone can do "research" and not know that the Big 6 is based on revenues, and that Liverpool have had either the 2nd/3rd largest revenues in the Premier League for the last half dozen years, I don't know.

Liverpool have spent around £1b more on wages than Spurs since Klopp arrived.

They really are a weird cult/bunch, it just shows why a lot if not all of the uk media dont have the balls to even slightly criticise them.
 
Did anyone else notice that during the autopsy of their former captain’s hilariously failed and hypocritical move to Saudi that the Saudi club are saying his transfer fee was just £4m. Liverpool claim it to be £12m.

Liverpool FC lying again. Who’d have guessed. I’m assuming the £8m shortfall will be scrutinised by the media..
 
I still hate them from the game at Maine Rd when we were on our way to a creditable 0-0 draw. The ball went out for a corner to us but Lawrenson jogged over the line and dragged it back onto the pitch from about a metre out and the ref ignored all our shouts and let them play on. A few seconds later it was in the back of our net and they won 1-0. Cheating bastards.
 
For the older blues who can remember livarpool in div 2 and a average team in it,shankley took over and was bank rolled by the Littlewood’s family(pools)broke the British transfer record while still a mid table division 2team but they forget to tell you that and when you mention it to them there minds cannot recall anything

This is the one that always gets ignored, because transfer fees are a better story, but wages have always been the strongest indicator of success, and Liverpool have been right up there. The Swiss Ramble did an article about the 21/22 season that showed not only were they right up there, but their wage bill was higher than ours.

Of course, that's ignoring all of our dodgy secret payments.

Absolutely. Despite having a similar sized wage bill for a smaller squad than our rivals - which of course means we can pay fewer players more money - we still need to top it up with cash.

It's because most players would prefer to come second, even if it pays less ;)

And when Shankly retired they turned their backs on him.

It was ever thus. I am still not over Alf Grey disallowing a perfectly good Kevin Reeves goal in 1st leg League Cup Dec 1980 vs that shower of shyyte* which eventually led to them winning LC 4 times consecutively. We were robbed, not ironic whatsoever considering our opposition.

I absolutely loathe them.

And he deferred wages to avoid paying UK tax, typical virtue signalling wanker.

The hypocrisy in the last sentence is....well...

As a few of us have said on here, if they wanted to brush this under the carpet, they'd have hit them with a £100m fine and a one window transfer ban or such like - not only have they charged them with 115 breaches, they've hit Everton with a 10pt'r, charged them again the following season and now charged Forest, they're laying the groundwork for the punishments.

The other 17 clubs (maybe 18 if the Russian gangster no longer has any ownership of Chelsea and the Saudis aren't in too deep) will fucking kick off if ADFC get away with it. LFC, MU, Arsenal, Spurs, Villa etc aren't going to shuffle off quietly, especially the likes of Villa on the brink of CL football in 24/25

The likes of Everton need to remember ADFC have robbed them of CL football and places in the league and therefore a few million in prize money

And Liverpool robbed all English clubs of 5 years of European football.
 
When they bought Ron Yeats and Ian St. John back in 1961 - the moment Shankly said changed Liverpool FC forever, they'd just finished 3rd in the Championship.

This would be the equivalent of Luton Town buying Erling Haaland and Virgil van Dijk last summer but having LOST the play-off final and still being in the Championship. Just let that sink in.

This is exactly it, I argue with so many southern Liverpool fans re this - they are clueless - not realizing a) who Ron Yeats was b) That their success in the 70's was built on a huge investment that no one could match- organic growth ' the proper way..my arse

I was at Maine Road for a City v Liverpool League Cup game in 1981 (I think). Liverpool got a dubious free kick, city offered a 4 or 5 man defensive wall. I was right behind our goal when the kick was taken. Little Sammy Lee ran behind our wall and dragged two players out of the line leaving a cap for the ball which went in. We lost 0-1 (but drew the second leg). I noticed the ref looked at the linesman who just shrugged.
