if you go with Nike/Adidas or any other large manufacturer likelihood is somewhere along the supply line there is some sort of abuse of workers in one way or another, just look at how Amazon treats its warehouse staff. This is just the nature of the capitalist society and its the deal with the devil that large corporations have struck to make the money they do. We don't have to like it but we've all accepted it by buying the goods and subscribing to it to make our lives what they are, could we do better, of course we could but there doesn't seem to be a willingness in society to do that.

FSG have been great on the business side but the stars really aligned for them on the footballing side with two major things that changed the course of the club - 1. Obviously the biggest one, Klopp being available at the right time and coming in and buying into the structure with Edwards and Gordon 2. the Neymar transfer changing the game and subsequently the price we received for Coutinho - without this fee I honestly don't think our Squad looks like it does today this isn't me saying it's all down to luck - it takes a lot of skill to execute what you're given correctly and they've done that - but those two things had to have happened for them to have made a success of this ownership on the footballing side

Really clear we won't be spending much net this summer. We will most likely make a profit on transfers based on all the backpatting re the success of the transfer strategy over the last few years and the number of articles and journos claiming inside sources saying squad is pretty much 'complete'. Think this is a high risk strategy based on the lightness of quality we have in key positions but it just seems to be the way Klopp is happy to work and also the way the owners want the squad to be built.

Surprised no Fabinho but if we can attack their fullbacks we should get a goal or two. Just about stopping them scoring more than 2 I think

Definitely all set up to shit the bed - god I hope I'm wrong

Same as Reina and De Gea in their first seasons, same as Claudio Bravo this season for City. Always to be expected from a new keeper to the Premier League.

Has anyone booked with coach innovations?

At the moment i'm filing this under the Costa/Mkhitaryan/Sanchez talk

Can't believe all the Wayne Rooney love by the British press and pundits, actually embarrassing. Gerrard said it was a 'sensational' performance, wtf?!

I work for a large multi national bank and like all of the large banks headquartered in Canary wharf, they own a box at Chelsea, Arsenal, Wembley, Tottenham (and are looking at the Olympic too). It's not about the team its the location, the type of entertainment these corporates do they're not that bothered about the club (as long as they're in the top 6) its the location. The demand for hospitality in London will always be there which is why companies by boxes for the season. Demand in the North west (even at Old Trafford) is nowhere near which is why the big banks don't actually own season boxes. If they need a corporate box they know they can just purchase one for the games that their clients are interested in rather than buying one for the whole season.

certainly not after they've built this http://www.dezeen.com/2015/12/02/herzog-de-meuron-submits-plans-chelsea-football-stadium-redesign-london/

Don't think lucas has been that brilliant under Klopp like so many seem to think, needs a big upgrade

i may be wrong, but isn't this the guy that was involved with some sort of racism incident?
