We're a shambles

[Lario]

its the worst run in 5 decades

 

6 decades I'm afraid.

 

The difference in prize money between 5th and 10th is less than Joe Cole’s annual wages.

 

What's the difference between 10th and 15th though, 'cause that's where we're heading.

[silverlining]

Will they?

 

A cup and Europe next season will equal progress for them.

 

The difference in prize money between 5th and 10th is less than Joe Cole’s annual wages.

 

Comolli will say that signings need time to bed in, the Suarez affair destabilised the club, and they should have a word with Ayre, and that Kenny is on the brink of a historic double,he would be only the second Liverpool manager to have achieved it and only the fourth English club manager to have ever achieved it – a tribute to his signings.

 

They will say, “Gee, that’s swell” , and Comolli will snuggle into his first class seat on the way back reading L’Equipe.

 

Henry wanted us to get into the Top 4. That was the target set in August.

 

They won't be saying "Gee, great" if we finish 8th or wherever, and they won't measure success via league placings/ earnings, so I don't know what "the difference in prize money between 5th and 10th" means

[Duff Man]

We've been brilliant at points this season we just havent scored the goals

 

I disagree. I think we've played ok at some points but largely been poor. We played some far better stuff towards the end of last season and have since regressed. A good system was scrapped and some horrendous mistakes were made in the transfer market. There is nothing kneejerk about pointing that out.

[Christianlfc]

West Ham are famous for being brilliantly shit, I dont want to become that.

[WaltonRed]

I still believe in the players we bought I just dont think we're getting the best out of them

[betterman]

We are a fucking shambles alright. Second worst team in the league since the turn of the year for crying out loud. Kenny not getting it out of the players and simply has to go. Made piss poor signings and we are now suffering because of it.

[stringvest]

I want to know what Kenny is thinking. Right now.

Firstly, it was a desire, not a requirement.

 

The diffference between 5th and 10th is not financially a big deal for them. Europe and a cup are secured.

[betterman]

Probably why the fuck did I go back into management. No one plays for the jersey anymore, it all about the money and image. That why he shouldn't have went back, the way things are now are alien to him. Kennys love for the club is being made a mockery of at the minute with the performances of the team.

It bloody embarassing is what it is, could finish in bottom half of table if this shit continues, where we deserve to be. Europe and a cup secured? So you think we are progressing?

[xerxes]

I agree.

 

Pardew had it right about Carroll, direct football and diagonal crosses get the best out of him. So if you buy him thats the way you play, and if you don't want to play that way, don't buy him.

[xerxes]

No I don't. I think we are in big medium term trouble.

 

I was offering the perspective that FSG will have.

[WaltonRed]

FSG need to cough up again the summer

 

I'd keep the players we bought last year and add to them, every summer we buy 6, ship 6 out.

 

There is no point, get a game plan, stick to it, add 3 class players and we'll move forward

Very good. Spend our way out of it. It has been working a treat so far.

[Antynwa]

What we need to do is take stock of the situation, and move forward and fight.

 

I'd spent as much money as possible on a striker though, anyone. The corpse of Billy Liddel will do

[xerxes]

And that is where it went wrong.

 

DOF appointed to provide a strategy of buying value with up to date knowledge of the transfer market. Check.

 

Vastly experienced manager to steady the ship and take us forwards.Check

 

Appoint a hugely respected young coach to run the training. Check.

 

Then Kenny races to the transfer market to panic buy like a motorist with a half full petrol tank, and Comolli overspends in the summer like a pissed up sailor on shore leave - epic fail.

 

We had a plan, we had the people, we just didn't follow it.

[Jairzinho]

We're not getting the best out of the players, and they're shit.

[xerxes]

I'd spent as much money as possible on a striker though.........

 

Haven't we tried that?

 

Ten goals for £57m between Carroll and Suarez.

 

Meanwhile Grant Holt has scored 12 - and cost £400,000.

No what Henry actually said was if we don't qualify, it would be a major disappointment.

As it is for us all.

 

I simply make the point that there is a big difference between our perspective and FSG's.

 

CL qualification was no trip-wire, nor should it have been.

[Bjornebye]

everyone is harpin on about the money we have spent but our actual expenditure isn't as bad as it seems especially in comparison with the likes of city and chelsea

 

if the owners want top 4 they have to spend top 4 money this summer. 100 million (expenditure)

[kalasoma]

That's what Henry said in August, I believe. People all see to know or at least speculate on what Henry is thinking, but I'd like to hear from him as to how he and Werner viewed the season, once it's over.

[Guest ShoePiss]

If we were to have any chance at 4th we needed to invest in the team in January. We didn't so their expectations should have changed accordingly. Well mine did and I hope theirs did too.

 

Apparently we didn't buy anyone in jan because the players we want weren't available, not because money wasn't available.

[Guest ShoePiss]

I don't know what that means.

[xerxes]

I assume you mean nett spend. They won't.

 

Last year our income was 225m euros (£187m todays conversion). If we spent a nett £100m, would we recoup in excess of £287m? i don't think so.

Each PL slot is worth £800k, CL football £20m-£35m.

 

FSG are an investment club - that would make no sense to them.
