Media Thread - 2021/22

[waspish]

Lots of PR in the media saying how Liverpool have the best player recruitment - with no mention of hacking into Ciy's system and database nor of the ex-City guys they hired. They were found guilty and the cost of this instant fix was a paltry £1m fine with no sanctions.

Correct there recruitment before the hack was dreadful!

That Hack got them on track saw how our set was and set it up in there systems poached couple of our staff and all that for a measly 1m we could took them to the cleaners but I bet the premier had a lot to do with that settlement! Stinks to high heaven!


So all there success is down to Man City.

I have no memory of Joe Cole at Liverpool... the fuck did i miss that.. lol

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

I thought they settled with no admission of guilt?

Maybe it was really Chelsea.

At last, a football pundit brave enough to call the Cult/Dippers out.

It's a shame 99.9% of other Pundits are too afraid of the Cult to also call them out.

Well done Jason.

BBC breakfast hoping for a dipper v Madrid final , they just about managed to say our name .

Yesterdays media narrative, the genius that is Klopp , todays narrative, the genius that is Ancelotti. Sickening when you think about it and I’m sure should we get to Paris it would be 1,0000000% worse

Is there a reason you chose 2010? Is that when those staff members moved to Liverpool?

City made the complaint in July 2013 and they apparently accessed the scouting network 100s of times.

Jan 2013 is where they bought Coutinho, which is a very significant signing but Suarez in 2010 would have been too. If it's possible that both of those signings came off the back of the hacking then that really would be significant. They sold both of those players on for massively inflated fees "which gave them a blank cheque for years to come la" as they would phrase it in Liverpool, if the shoe was on the other foot.

I was thinking academy level might be a good place to look also because it goes under the radar more. Raheem Sterling was signed in Feb 2010, that would be a significant one. Not sure how well known he was back then tbh.

It’s never mentioned how VVD forced a sale from Southampton by going on strike, telling the club he is not available for pre season games and refused to go on tour to France with them.
It would be in every report he was mentioned in if we bought him.

Similar to last season when him, Alison and more all signed new contracts. Not a single £ mentioned in any media reports about their new contract wages.

Every single media outlet is scared stiff of them for some reason

Didn’t Mahrez do similar?
