The Carlisle Kaiser.

 

 

Deluded biffs.

 

Branflakes is decent with it all to prove still.

 

Let's see how he copes when he has to actually football as opposed to just defending his penalty area and smashing the ball long when it comes to him.

 

The outrage that United haven't tried harder to sign one of their best players is bizarre!

Ok its fair to say what makes us think Yoro is top class but it's equally invalid to be so certain he's shit. We don't know. 

 

We've been publicly humiliated over Bellingham, Caiceido, Lavia and now Yoro. All big money young players. It's not a good look.

Not arsed about him nor seen him play but at 50mill he'd have to go straight in the team ahead of Quansah. Think we'll wait to see what VVD does before buying a CB.

Quansah is going to have a major part in this team. Closest thing I've seen to Virgil.

Leny Yoro sounds like one of the Goodfellas crew...."Lennie Yoro.....had a scam runnin' numbers in the Bronx.....always paid late

....had to whack him"

We've always liked those types of signings - bosmans, last 12 months of contracts, free transfers or clubs in pressure to sell for FFP. The club has no real interest in getting involved where there no real pressure on the selling club to sell. There have undoubtedly been times when it's worked out. There's been plenty of hasn't. More importantly we just walk past loads of talent because we don't want to pay market rate. 

In fairness we got stung a bit on market rate in the early FSG Rodgers spending era.

 

Still, at least we didn’t dither when it came to Nunez and just banged the money on the table……….

 

The moral of the tale is don’t buy crap players

United: Here’s some money for one of your best players.

 

Everton: That’s taking the piss we want double that.

 

United: No.

 

Everton: Well fuck off and sign someone else.

 

United fuck off and sign someone else

 

Everton: How dare they not sign one of our players.

Dunno if this will load, Matip to Leverkusen. 

[Harry Squatter]

Some of our fans have just been conditioned by FSG to accept their bare minimum approach and think it's being clever and smarter than everyone else. They shout down any criticism of them by asking how many trophies the Mancs, Arsenal or Chelsea have won whilst spending more than us.

 

Or asking how much money the Glazers have spent on Old Trafford, despite FSG not spending any of their own money on the Main stand, Anfield Road End and the extension to the academy. I can't believe that most of our fanbase aren't sick of the constant drip feeding of FSG spin to the media to justify a lack of investment.

 

The club trades on its history of winning trophies, pats itself on the back everytime they get sponsorship deals and uses the size of the fanbase and standing in the game to get new kit or shirt sponsorship deals yet they act like Brighton or Bournemouth when it comes to buying players. Yet to get these deals you need to be competitive and challenging to get the TV exposure to maximise the deals. 

 

As mentioned above, its not the fact that we didn't sign this Yoro. It's the constant spin about being interested in players yet nothing happens. Being interested in players who are already set on playing for other clubs or who are never hoping to sign for us.

It is almost as if they have no ambition themselves....

[an tha]

They just never ever learn do they....

 

As cited by this correspondent in the latest Royal Blue column, one fan Rich Wilkinson posted a photograph of Everton’s new stadium glistening in the sunshine and proclaimed: “This is not the ground of a team that has to sell players cheap to Manchester United. This is the ground of a footballing giant that is about to wake up and power on.”

FSG loaned the club £110m and charged the club interest. They did this out of the goodness of their heart because a greedy bank would have charged a higher rate of interest so FSG stepped in and lent the club money but still banked money from interest. Up until now the club has repaid them £40m from annual revenue. 

 

FSG took out a loan of £80m for the ARE which the club will have as debt and will have to repay.

 

The training ground was also funded by the sponsorship deal with AXA.

 

Several LFC journos stated last year that since FSG bought Liverpool in 2010 they have invested around £130m of their own money. So just over £9m of their own money each year since buying us. They bought us for £300m and the club is worth over £4bn depending on what reports you read.

 

We were told last year that the increase in revenue from a 61k stadium will have the club "firing on all cylinders" yet they are already laying the groundwork for a quiet summer. We had the same when the Main Stand was built in 2016 saying it would make a difference to the transfer budget. 

 

Next season the kit deal could be close to £100m with Adidas, there'll be more revenue from an expanded CL and more money from the PL TV revenue in addition to the new sponsorsship deals theyve just signed, apparentlythey made around £12m from the summer concerts too. Yet next summer you'll still see the same articles and the same over cautious approach to buying players or endless links to a player who wants to either stay put at their current club or move elsewhere. 

 

They may be great businessmen who don't risk their own money and can grow an asset but that won't help us consistently win trophies and compete with similar sized clubs.
