absolutely this . The game doesn’t exist any more, outcomes are controlled as much as possible to drive revenue. They want the most milk able fan bases watching their team on tv winning all the time. Hence why the entire game now is set up to keep money flowing from Liverpool fans pockets across the world. No negative media story is ever aired about them, they barely drop points thanks to refereeing decisions, favourable draws in most comps now. Even opposition players and managers buy into it with most gushing about Liverpool and Klopp before they play them. The sort of remarks that used to be from Ferguson and Mourinho just seemingly aren’t allowed anymore. It’s adherence to the cult of money that surrounds the club above all else.
