Show us what your made of Mr Henry !

[Unrighteous]

The top four?

 

We fired Rafa because 'we' thought he would not win us the league. And we accepted mediocrity when we replaced him with Hodgson.

 

Do keep up.

 

No, one got fired because of his personality, views, use of club resources, and the other got fired because he was walking dogshit.

 

Do keep up.

[Tyler Durden]

I could understand if they said they were going to leave the ground on hold until the market picked up,

 

but there not pumping money on to the playing side either,

 

I said when we got Rodgers that he was a cheap option and I still believe that,

 

I like to know who made the decision to employ Rodgers

 

They are pumping money somewhere, I've just been on a tour of the 2 new massive bars in the centenary on the weekend, oh and apparently £1 million is getting spent on the Main stand facilities aswell. I think its safe to say that the stadium is either on the back burner or they are full steam ahead on refurb/upgrade.

[Guest ShoePiss]

Well, I never... interesting.

 

Plenty more where that came from too mate, I don't want to spoil you rotten though. Maybe another tomorrow.

[Guest LFD]

Would it be wise to spend big this summer with FFP?

 

I honestly don't know.

I'll be sure and keep a vigil by my laptop.

And what about the third?

[Guest ShoePiss]

That's irrelevant, we won't spend much because we don't have much. Fuck all to do with working within any constraints of FFP. Although that is in essence what FFP is trying to achieve :)

Its not stopping the other clubs mate is it.

 

The only way well will even get a sniff of the CL is if the other teams get banned for breaking FFP rules which will never happen

. Platini will turn a blind eye now PSG have come into money.

It's not stopping some other clubs, but it doesn'tmean they are right - in the long term.

 

Also I don't necessarily think we need to spend big to improve.

 

About time LFC starting buying clever, rather than big.

The money you say they are "pumping" is into corporate facilities,

 

"fattening the pig I think it's called,

 

they've been over "60 days" closer to 20 months and they still haven't made a decision on whether were building a stadium or doing a refurb

[Guest ShoePiss]

Come on, you know I'm not talking about those with a few genuine 'concerns'.

 

No idea on the plan. I suspect that's the honest position of everybody on here. Even those 'in the know' won't know what the plan is 'til later on in the window. I think things will be left late.

 

There's likely an emphasis on getting players on massive wages but offer nothing out of the club. I'd do the same if I were the owner.

 

That is something I hoped wouldn't happen, it has to be much better to have new signings in earlier. Being able to take part in pre season training is quite important, especially when the rest of the team are also getting to grips with a new management team.

[BCM]

I see its slowly starting to sink in with some............. slowly but surely.

 

Hodgson(the bellwhiff) knew - managing expectation.

 

5 years ago we were in a European cup final..........

There ain't no such thing thesedays, I fear, LFD.

Yeah, I hate it. Been saying for about 10 seasons now. It's a funny window, though. World cup and olympics, new manager (with players likely to leave), and the American tour. Just have to wait and see, I guess.

 

I'm happy with Borini, I'd be happy with Allen. I'd guess the rest is dependant on who goes out.

[BCM]

Oh and another thing im less worried about who they might spend money on, and more worried about the few class players we have left leaving.

If come september 1st we have Skrtel, Agger and Suarez at the club i will be happy.

[Geraghty]

What's the chances of FFP being properly implemented?

 

I agree I really can't see clubs being banned from Europe.

I think with the money they are spending it's clear were not moving anywhere

[the walsh]

where was these, arab billionares, when the club was on it.s knee.s im not saying the owners are perfect far from it i belive they will sell the club in 3 years. we might then get our billionare saviours a long time before we contest a tittle again. where just along for the ride now.

[TheHowieLama]

[Unrighteous]

And what about the third?

 

The third got sacked because if stayed another year, and had a more successful go of it, then they'd never be able to sack him.

In one!

[WaltonRed]

Keep the faith

[TheHowieLama]

 

What? Come on - seriously what? Is my fly down?

[Faustus]

In many ways, I think this thread typifies what has gone wrong with us as supporters. The fact that people feel the need to go to extremes. Either they're the devils or our saviours. It seems to be the case with everything now from players to managers and obviously with FSG.

 

As somebody on the thread has said, people were saying under Hicks and Gillett that they they'd be happy with just spending what we earned. Well, this is what we're doing now. It's why we've signed the sponsorship deal with Warrior, got LeBron James in as some glorified cheerleader and decided to go ahead with erecting that big fuck off embarrassing hospitality tent. A lot of things I'm not happy about and really make me cringe, but unfortunately, it's the nature of the beast and has been the case since football sold it's soul at the formation of the Premier League.

 

I'd be lying if I said I was 100% happy with everything they've done because I certainly have a couple of reservations about them, but turning the club into title challengers without the aid of some bottomless pit of cash is monumental and virtually impossible. People trot out the line 'they haven't spent their own money' but who does? Those clubs are in the minority. Chelsea, City and any other club on the continent owned by Arabs. That's pretty much it.

 

Like I said, it's natural to have reservations and I really don't think they've helped themselves at times, but it's way too early yet to make cast iron judgements on them at this moment in time, in my opinion.

[WaltonRed]

great post
