It always gives me a laugh to read other club’s forums saying how we are so well run, from top to bottom we’ve got our shit sorted, how they’re jealous of the set up we’ve got, then I come on here and it’s all ‘fuck you FSG’. 

It always gives me a laugh to read other club's forums saying how we are all using PEDs, VAR is in our pocket, the powers that be want us to win, we never get any major injuries, how they are happy they are not winning like us, then I come on here and it's all 'great manager, great players and mentality monsters'.

What if they sponsor responsibly? 

Everton don't want to be sponsored by a betting company because they don't want to be associated with the slogan "When the fun stops, stop."

Wow, double than what Western Union were paying. 

Like a lot of these deals (like I have mentioned I think earlier in this thread) the value of the deal is not just about the slot on the shirt, it's also about what other commitments there are. Expedia will be getting significant access to players as part of this deal, so we're probably giving up a little more than we were with Expedia.

Isn't Cazoo the sponsor of theirs who doesn't like to be associated with teams who win anything? 

Nah, that's Hummel.

Just had an email off the club asking me if I wanted to buy an LFC Swiss watch for a grand made by a company called Tribus. Looks like they signed a partnership with them in September.

That's a family heirloom. Great Uncle Blue spent four years concealing it in a German POW camp.

Potential FSG deal presents possibility of Liverpool link with AZ Alkmaar

Given Citeh & Chelsea have similar link ups, it would be interesting to see if we follow a similar path.

 

Having a Championship club or a Dutch club to be able to send our players to for experience/ toughening up, sounds a good idea.

Good news and another addition to the portfolio. Makes me cry when I think of the years of missed opportunities at this club. We really were run like a corner shop for years and years.

Just how on earth were we so successful without Dunkin Donuts and Costa Coffee?

Because it wasn't a global businesses back then, you could be owned by the local millionaire and be deemed a wealthy club.

 

Now its all about how much money you can get in via any source to inflate your earnings.

 

I'm not sure which is worse these days, the transfer fees or the wages paid, a bang average squad player will cost around £25m with a weekly wage of £80k. Over a 5 year contract that amounts to over £45m not including add ons agents fees and the rest. All in could run close to £60m. 

 

So we need a lot of sponsorship to fund even bank average players let alone the good ones.

 

Have we sold our soul to the devil or just trying to keep pace with the ones that did?

That is right up there with anything that's considered scandalous or immoral nowa-woke-days, in my book.

 

If I hate knuckle-dragging redneck Trump voters - who haven't got a pot to piss in - then surely I have to hate the fact that a bang average squad footballer is on 80k a week, if I'm being fair.

I’ve always been a fan of the Dutch professional football club from Alkmaar and the Zaanstreek. The club plays in the Eredivisie, the highest professional football league in the Netherlands, and hosts home matches at the AFAS Stadion.

Depends whether you class 1990 to 2010 as successful. Also makes you wonder why the club wore Hitachi on the shirt during part of our most successful era.

Have Chelsea or City ever developed a player through these club's? They use them as a form of football pimping. They harvest a shit load of players and sell them to fund the academy/cook the books.

It's just a people trafficking scheme. It's been profitable for Chelsea though, so it would not be a shock to see us follow suit.

Didnt chelsea basically loan that Dutch team an entire starting 11 at some point?.

Vitesse Arnhem. I can’t remember anything about the game, but I seen Liverpool play there in 2002.
