Exactly how I wanted J. Separate the bells from the quims

Stop with the fucking bullshit. It’s clear as day that you’re just fishing for a repeat of the 26 rep points you got when you started an identical thread three years ago.

Back in the day, fans used to understand that new players could take a long time to settle in, that players could suffer a loss of form, that the season would have peaks and lulls. People used to understand football. As in most other areas of life, despite the infinitely expanded opportunities for research and learning, the populace are getting thicker and more ignorant. And even the thickest and most ignorant have access to channels that would have been unthinkable not that long ago, when they were limited to smearing their names in shit in or on public buildings. We get them clogging up public forums. Still, the cancer mortality rates are down, so it’s not all bad.

Wish you followed your own advice instead of constantly posting trolling shite.

You can reproduce what you like. The fact is this club is operating in a different environment to what it was 5 years ago never mind 10. And Im not talking about ownership Im talking greater spending power of at least 3 other clubs. Chelsea United and City. Even between them the mix has has changed as first Chelsea outspent everyone then City and now it seems United going toe to toe with them.

No arguments with the 'different environment' comment.  Yes it is.  The money in the game now has possibly quadrupled in the last 10 years, particularly revenue to clubs, especially with the new TV deals.  Subsequently this has seen player purchase prices and wages increase.  You make valid points regarding the spending power of Chelsea, City and UTD.

 

But then you refer to those teams having 'greater spending power'.  They may well do to differing extents.  I would question whether it is to the extent that sees Liverpool spend so little comparatively.  It isn't just a mere gap in spending, it is a chasm.  At this point it is important to differentiate between 'can't spend' and 'won't spend'.  It can be argued that the latter applies to us.

 

The 2016 football 'rich list' of clubs seen us as 8th richest in the world.  Depending on which source referred to we're 8th/9th in 2017.  Interestingly the combined value of the 'top 20' clubs increased in value from 2016 v 2015 by 24%, and then by a further 12% when comparing 2017 v 2016.  That is phenomenal growth, much of it fuelled by the growth in club revenue. 

 

Does our investment on the playing side reflect that of the 8th richest club in the world?  Probably not.  If anything during that period of phenomenal revenue growth (2015-2017) the extent to which we invest in the team in terms of buying players, has at best stood still (the oft quoted '£30m' net), and arguably has reduced.

 

We always seem to be waiting on the next transfer window, which tends to come and go with no change.

Well of course it is a chasm. Can spurs spend like City United and Chelsea. Can Arsenal.  We have just seen United spunk 600 grand a week on wages to pay Sanchez. They would have had to pay £35m as well to Arsenal if they had not done the player swap. There is your chasm right there.

 

It never ceases to amaze me that so many people think LFC are in the top 10 richest and then do not realise how big the chasm from 10th to top 4 rich list and hence spending power is. If you check the top 10 rich list now I think you find we have dropped to 9th or 10th and that is with the additional capacity. We may climb back to 8th next year with this seasons CL money but I would not guarantee it. And the chasm even from 8th to top 4 is still massive. That is the reality.
