Liverpool make £49.4m yearly loss
it is this kind of attitude that keeps us 8th in the league with 49 points..
whats stopping us from finishing higher than that? Our worst positioning till 1954. I'd be happier with 4th place and no lower league carling cup and cheaper than europa league, fa cup. I'd be happier with 6 extra wins in the league (6x3=18 points, 18+49= 67 points, 3rd place above arsenal 66). Not asking much am I?
13 defeats, 10 draws... disgrace. just 6 more wins.
Even so, Liverpool should embrace Europa League and try to win it next season.
