Manchester City ‘can do what they want’ financially despite FFP, Klopp claims

Jürgen Klopp believes it is ‘not possible’ for Liverpool to compete financially with Manchester City and other Gulf state-owned clubs

www.theguardian.com

Klopp once again moaning about City's spending, change the fucking record. I hope we give them a footballing lesson on Sunday and once again he can harp on about how unfair everything is.

Klopp can’t keep his mouth shut about City complete with the total lie that we are state-owned. Presented as fact with no balance by a corrupt newspaper.

He’s the best regarded journalist in the country. I don’t like the word, but he’s the doyen.
Why does he work for the DM, in a word, reach (imho).
And they probably pay well.

What I don’t understand is the rest of the muppets in that profession; can’t they see the benefits that come with having your own mind like he does …(?)

They might see it, but they have so little knowledge they can do nowt about it.

Mail (why are these not banned from the ground yet) back page today peddling the new lie that Dippers cannot compete with us as we are paying Haaland 850k a week.
The clubs pathetic non existent PR team should have laughed at this nonsense when it was first reported.

Obviously no mention of how much Nunez cost or Salah wages in the story

They continuously compare Haaland transfer fee plus agent fees with Nunez transfer fee without agent fees. Wonder what the dippers paid Nunez agent.

How do we stop Haaland..
Release clause..
Can he pick up an injury?..
Release clause..
Stop City players feeding him the ball..
Release clause..
He's on 900k a week ..
Release clause...
Release clause......

Did anyone mention a release clause?

Klopp is right. They can’t compete with City on:
Quality of team management (Pep and staff)
Quality of scouting data base
Excellence of recruitment (see Akanje)
Quality of DOF.
Squad planning (most of their team are geriatric)
Management of the whole club.
Spending all our surplus on football. (Where does theirs go?)
That is why we are serial winners of the title while they have won it just the (covid influenced) once.
They do have bigger gnashers than us though.

When Klopp leaves the dippers at the end of the season he has the perfect credentials to work for the echo, obsessed with City

 

[threespires]

Why the FUCK did not a single journalist call him on the spending myth? Literally all they have to say is Nunez cost more than haaland, what’s your thoughts on that?

But no, they all sit there with their thumb firmly up their arses nodding along.
Fucking hell I hate sports journalists!!!!!!!

Most are not journalists as we used to understand it, whether they admit it or not they're mostly online marketing copywriters now.

Most are not journalists as we used to understand it, whether they admit it or not they're mostly online marketing copywriters now.

Klopp's interview today states as fact that City are "Gulf-state-owned" and says we have no financial ceiling and "can do what we want." It's not clear if Klopp has been misquoted but the writer presents these statements as facts. It is a lie to say we are state-owned. Not even Der Spiegl or UEFA have ever made that allegation. We have 13 years of accounts which prove it is a lie. We were also cleared of receiving state aid in court by three judges.
By reporting these false statements the Guardian is suggesting our accounts are false (which would be illegal). They are suggesting that our owner, our senior managers, and scores of auditors have behaved illegally. City must respond to these comments and demand a retraction. We should also make a formal complaint to the PL because Klopp's comments (if reported accurately) have breached PL rules by bringing the game into disrepute.
This latest smear is part of the ongoing dirty tricks campaign by senior people at LFC and we can't allow it to continue without a challenge.
We should also demand assurances from LFC and Merseyside police that the coach attack (and that's what it is) being planned for tomorrow is prevented from happening instead of being facilitated as it was last time. If they can't provide protection for our players we should ask for a postponement.

Last journalist that called the dippers on their bullshit got the sack. Need I say more?
