Liverpool remind us of the time when the football produced by a club seemed like a reflection of the character of the community it represented."You guys have no idea how bad it is in Ireland for anti--City bias, Sweeney is particularly bitter, but we unfortunately have Delooney as well, not to mention the TV commentators. The media here is infested with Liverpool fans, parading as independent journalists, they wouldn't look out of place on the Liverpool Echo or RAWK, but incredibly Sweeney writes for the biggest selling daily and Sunday newspaper.
I'm glad someone is finally highlighting Sweeney, he actually wrote this in the sports pages of a national newspaper; "It is Liverpool who have become, as that Barcelona motto says, more than a club....These days the major clubs increasingly resemble major US sporting franchises. Yet there is still something different about Liverpool, a club for which tragedy and triumph will be intermingled for as long as the game is played. Liverpool remind us of the time when the football produced by a club seemed like a reflection of the character of the community it represented."

Lol. The irony is that liverpool, as part of FSG are the closest thing we have to a US sporting franchise in the Premier League.You guys have no idea how bad it is in Ireland for anti--City bias, Sweeney is particularly bitter, but we unfortunately have Delooney as well, not to mention the TV commentators.

As far as i know, clubs are able to pretty much spend what they want for the first 3 years of new ownershipstill waiting for PL to confirm the deep investigation into Chelsea affairs of what they "self-reported" to Uefa and got a quick 10m euros punishment.
highly doubt same issues would not be breaching bunch of PL rules historically.
that before any of these new stuff from the Cyprus leak with Abra and off book payments etc.
having said that not sure how Chelsea able to meet current FFP rules with their recent spending of a billion pounds almost. with CL revenue this season and they are in a huge fight to even be back in CL next season.
and I guess they will continue to spend big in January again and then next summer again.
long term contracts may help a bit but no success on the pitch and heavily underperforming like last year surely has to put them under huge FFP risk.

Stands, claps and hoots "bravo"He is right about Liverpool football club being a reflection of the community it represents. Specially if he is referencing how their fans push walls over Italian football supporters then blame decaying stadiums, Chelsea supporters etc. How when they go on Euro trips individuals drop paving slabs on Bulgarian waiter’s heads. How they smash up rivals team buses on Champions League night without a single arrest. More recently throwing cups full of coins onto some innocent bystander who could have been killed but then start crying why they have to play a half 12 kick off on a Saturday as a result of it. When rival supporters remind them of this they go hiding behind tragedy chanting and start talking about their mental health. Yes he is right Liverpool certainly do represent and reflect the vermin who follow them.
