Media discussion - 2024/25

For years the media have tried to create the narrative our massive squad is the reason we are successful. I’d just like to thank Todd Boehly for helping dispel that myth & I await the column inches of apologies.

Motd2- first thing the anchor/host said coming off from the highlights was : "And when you look at that line up and the players they had on the bench, it's ridiculous." That was said by design, in my eyes.
Just plainly wrong and uninformed , from the off trying to paint us in a certain light ie. the same old clumsy, lazy "They're buying success" line.
I'd say it's a case of flattering to deceive,but it's not, it's the opposite, almost mispeak and purposely trying to delegitamise the club.

The bench included three academy graduates and a free transfer which I’m sure they were quick to point out

Imagine offering someone a fight on a train, over football?

" ...................... the same old clumsy, lazy "'They're buying success' line" - Isn't that what the rags are attempting right now?

Which reminds me. Our old finance director was pretty disdainful of financial analysts in general, but for the brief period we were a public company he took great delight in showing it (unless he was embedding useful messages with his one or two chosen useful idiot analysts). I remember an analysts' presentation in London where one of them asked why the gross margin percentage had increased. "Because sales have increased by more than cost of sales" was the reply. To the follow up question "Would you like to elaborate", the answer was "No".

Tbf to him, the gross margin percentage was super-sensitive because the group had a world-wide pricing strategy to accumulate as much of the group's income in low-tax Switzerland (where we even had a personalised tax regime with the authorities) to the detriment of subsidiaries in higher tax-paying countries.

Was funny as fuck, though, listening to him batting away the questions.

I suppose you had to be there?

LFC tried to undermine Everton’s stadium project planning process behind the scenes. Liverpool fans mock Everton but there is no reason Everton couldn’t do what City have done with the right investment.

LFC know they should have built a new stadium when they had the chance. Instead of redeveloping that pigs ear of a ground for the sake of istree

LOL!

Maybe Arsenal should have been a little more humble when they won the league last August and then again in October?

How the fuck she got a job anchoring anything is unbelievable….

They did manage to cheat their way out of failing FFP by writing off £50 million for a stadium that was never built.
