PITA said:
Jeff Stelling has just said that in the next 6 games the RS have Spurs, West Ham, Brighton, Leicester, City and Everton. He the added - so 3 of the top 5 plus a Merseyside derby. They just refuse to acknowledge where we are. Of course they could gave said 5 of the top 7.

Sorry to quote my own post but BT are now discussing the RS's poor form.
Jermaine Jenas said 'but who in the top 6 haven't had a wobble at some time this season. Chelsea have, Spurs have, City have, United have,.................'

Chelsea?

No mention of Everton again. This time it surprised given that he used the word 'wobble'.

Funnily enough Cristian Falk (the excellent Bayern and Germany source) has said he thinks Klopp will quit next summer to take over the national team.

Obviously with what is coming out now about not having money to get another defender in and the dig at the board..... I think this has been coming for a few months.

Both teams have 12 players 28+ years old.

While Liverpool have 9 of those as starters in their best eleven we have 4.

Theres going to be a fair bit of ins/outs at both clubs but with us its squad players while with them it will need to be first teamers :)

I think the key question is, how many on that list are Everton realistically planning on getting anything other than nominal fees for? And how many do Liverpool?

And if either side is banking on getting big fees, to what extent have they planned future business on the those assumptions?

Rory Smith is an idiot and Sam Wallace is not the best in the business.

They have little money, but still a huge pull. It just makes it more likely they get Salah on the cheap.

It's likely Liverpool were hoping for a big sale, which they wont get now.

Barca flog Messi they're financially sound as it gets rid of a player on 1mill a week

Pique and Busquets go too they free up huge wages.

So replacing them with Salah is not out of the realms of possibility

How long do you give Klopp Dave?

Him or the owners out first?

I think FSG are in it for the long haul. The valuation they want will not be met in the good times, never mind in difficult times of the next 4-5 years. Likely they may sell a bit of liquidity to the RB chain if they sell to anyone.

I'd imagine they can borrow against the value of Liverpool, and it's a great cash cow if all else fails.

Klopp will go first. The question is how much damage does he do on the way out.

I think their financial problems run deeper than that, but Liverpools are similarly serious in a different way.

Either way, RM or Barca just tap them up and sign them on a free/heavily reduced fee in 12 months (like sometihng nominal, 20 million or whatever).
