I was expecting the smell of bOILing coffee this morning, but all i can smell is bOILing piss.

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

Dom King usual production. A Scouse **** briefed beforehand to ask the question and set the excuse narrative.

I particularly liked Klopp how they are forced to do things differently and play younger players....

A week after a game Liverpool fielded one of the oldest starting line-ups in the league.

Newcastle can also feel very pissed. Klopp purposely twisting the CEO comments about "no ceiling", when he was talking in the wider context of Newcastle's potential and the support.

Reach pays ‘substantial’ settlement to ex-Sunday Express football writer fired over column criticising Liverpool FC fans

A former Sunday Express football writer who was sacked last year over a column criticising Liverpool FC fans has accepted a substantial settlement from publisher Reach. Colin Mafham was suspended from the newspaper, where he spent 15 years on contract, in April last year and later dismissed for...

Most “journalists” are never going to call out Klopps whining and especially hypocrisy. That would only sour the cosy arrangement.

City are never going to win a media war with “The Reds” loving media ( if we didn’t have Pep the bile and hypocrisy would be worst)

As Martin Samuel inferred in a recent article it’s the teams in red that the football establishment revere.

There’s too much money for a lot of the media to make by fawning over “The Reds”. When these teams benefitted from effectively an unfair Champions League based cartel the usual suspects attacking City said nothing.

When City got taken over no concern was expressed by the “the Reds” loving media of us dominating. The assumption was that the natural order would be maintained and by some that City were after all a bit of joke.

Whilst their silence at times irritates why should our owners respond to the likes of Delaney and Crafton etc. Best ignore these hypocrites. By doing so you don’t help to fund them.

If City do not do something about this misinformation campaign by media the lies will become absolute truth. Young people will have grown up believing 100% the attacks on our club are justified, as they have no other viewpoint for reference.
Why let the fans of the club constantly have to be on the frontline in dispelling these obvious untruths. Just what the fuck are the club waiting for?
Klopps words are on every back page in the country. I'm getting sick and tired of reading this stuff, or even if I ignore it, I have to jump to the defence of MY club if I am in earshot of somebody parroting this bollocks (which I have had to do again this morning)
I love my club, but I didn't sign up for that. Take the fuckers by the scruff, and sort it out City, ffs!!

They wouldn't get in my ground and eat my food or drink my drink.

Every single one of them that perpetuates a lie would be listed and banned from the ground.

Wasn’t Klopp also complaining that Newcastle have no ceiling and Liverpool do? Liverpool have triple Newcastle’s wage bill. They’re a cult that just believes everything their grand leader says.

The same hypocritical **** who said he'd walk rather than spend huge amounts on a team

 

[jaseisblue]

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.

Maybe we’ll just let them plough on with their lies & mistruths, if player ‘A’ at a red shirt club believes Haaland is on £875k Pw then he’ll be asking for a pay rise, just like Fodens new contract will inevitably lead to players like Saka & Martinelli asking for parity. Maybe our owners are playing the smartest game of all & allowing the hysteria in the press to snowball (without any real need to rebuke it) and forcing wages to artificially rise in all the top clubs when their players & agents demand top whack, a bit like us driving up prices for certain players over at Trafford Red Sox….operation Trojan Horse is up & running
