I’m sure the pundits and mainstream media will be falling over themselves to applaud Liverpool’s “brilliant rebuild,” spending a casual £500–600 million in just six months. You’ll hear all the usual buzzwords — smart recruitment, strategic investment, backing the manager, and of course, a statement of intent. They’ll romanticize it, talk about how Liverpool and Slot are “building another dynasty,” and how it’s all part of some genius long-term vision.
But when City spends even half of that — suddenly, it’s financial doping, sportswashing, and ruining football. Pep goes from being a tactical master to a so-called chequebook manager overnight. Funny how that works, isn’t it? One club “invests wisely,” the other “buys success.” The hypocrisy is almost impressive. If only double standards were a trophy, the media would have Liverpool lifting it every season.
@jimharri Semenyo clearly did not feel racial abused, he looks to be headed there. Can we blame it on Stockholm syndrome?
