ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[Saint Domingo]

Even in their darker years they still slashed millions after millions after millions away to try to compete. They went years without CL money. But no, it’s all good cos they was boss in the 70s and sing an anthem before kick off or something.

Everton get relegated to the Business House League if they do what they did under Hicks and Gillette

We got told we ruined the transfer window for paying 35 mill for Richarlison who became Brazil’s number 9 whilst playing for us, spent 4 seasons with us and we sold him for nearly double.

They whizz 90 mill up the wall on donkey Nunez and it’s good recruitment apparently. Would be absolutely hilarious if they all just flopped/got injured. Maybe then we’d finally hear the end of what geniuses Liverpool have been for spending more than anyone else on all the best player for the best part of 60 years.

 

[Pagan]

They whazzed away 100s of millions under Hicks and Gillet that they didn’t have and when the banks came calling for it rather than being wound up like they should have been, they just got all their mates to cry in the media for weeks on end and got a load of friendly judges to effectively forcibly give the club to FSG who paid a pittance for it as a distressed asset.

Not only did they get to start again with a clean slate, FSG got to sell all the assets like Mascherano Alonso Arbeloa Torres etc. that they’d illegally piled up and use the money to buy the likes of Suarez and Coutinho. Should have gone into administration that year, slapped with a points deduction and forced into a fire sale.

Now they’re lecturing everyone else on net spend as they spend 100s of millions to stay on top.

That really does grate. No other club would have got out of that mess so easily and with such a favourable outcome. Completely rescued by the media and the courts as you say.

Establishment FC.

I wouldn’t hold your breath on the last part mate. They’ll probably go back to claiming Fergie is conspiring against them with the FA so they don’t leave United in the tracks. Or blame Chelsea.

Unfortunately I think they have a very good side that could go on a good run of winning titles (although the margin last year flattered them a little IMO) but please, don’t try and preach to us how it’s been done the proper traditional working class way. They are chequebook champions like most champions in football history have been. It baffles me why they just can’t own that, it’s honestly not that big of a deal!

They can afford Isak and Rodrygo. It’s game over.

Underrated comment, a tale as airbrushed from history almost as much as Heysel has been.

When do we get told exactly where our stones are ?
I'm too old for this sort of caper...

Liverpool fan,


I think the spending has to be looked at with sales in mind. What we do better than other big clubs is get value for our sales. Quansah brought in more than Frimpong cost. Kelleher & Trent paid for Marmadashvilli. Diaz will cover Ekitike. Darwin will cover Kerkez.

Is this near Bootle?

And Wirtz and Isak can come from the Coutinho money

That’s great, but where did the money for when they signed ‘Darwin’ come from?

That was the Coutinho money as well......as was the Van Dyke transfer and the Alison transfer and the Diaz and the Konate, etc, etc.

Seem to remember them slagging off their owners quite frequently.

They will be pleading poverty again by January if they aren't pissing the league

I have posted evidence of it in this thread and i know we like to laugh and joke about the google mappers but this is 100% true. Lost as soon as they get off the train at Lime Street wandering around, maps in hand asking for directions to the stadium.

I make no apologies for giving wrong directions on a regular basis
