Firmino was doing the fucking Cha-Cha with him last summer.

I think our dressing room would be just fine with Coutinho coming back.  I'm not sure Barcelona would be happy with it though, it would be pretty embarrassing for them to "give" him back to us for a relative pittance, I think that would be the main issue.

I doubt anyone gives a fuck. Players don't feel the same way about the club as we do.

That was a big houllier quote that. Kopite behaviour

I'm not sure it was going to cost them 20m a year, they were planning to spread the cost over about 40 years! And borrowing has never been cheaper. I get what you are saying and I also thought they would struggle to get the money before covid. I actually think covid won't have harmed them at all though, in fact there'll be all kinds of chances for grants or subsidised loans etc imo for large infrastructure projects and along with that it could also kick start the rest of the Liverpool waters scheme.  I am not so sure revenues will go down at all. I think this for 2 reasons -   1. Overseas rights are already worth more than the domestic aren't they? And everything I've read has suggested this will only continue to grow.    2. Sky are literally fuck all without premier league football. Nobody is arsed about any of it. If there was no football, I think a massive part of sky's subscription base would just go to Freeview and put their money into streaming services and wherever football ends up. There was a time the PL needed a TV partner, but I feel pretty certain they could go to market and do it themselves now and I would be shocked if they did it alone they couldn't double today's money.    Ultimately I don't think the PL want to run in that direction right now, but they've got it as a bargaining chip. Sky have nothing to negotiate with.
