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

[peteblue]

Possibly, but I see it as a face saver for the corporate slap in the chops they just received. If any company out there was willing to pay Liverpool in excess of successful football superpowers for a shirt deal then they wont be in business too long. Adidas are no mugs and they just punted them a mile down the road. IMO, this is a John Henry production: using associates to concoct a phantom deal of some sort in an effort to keep the status, and therefore value, of LFC high.

It'll be a sham figure.


Warrior. Ha Ha Ha Ha.

They have a good range in White Robes and Pointy Hats.........

Someone will photo-shop that before long!

TBF Adidas didn't drop them. They were dumped. LFC more than doubled their shirt contract. 2nd biggest deal in the world after Barcelona with Nike.

It's a bullshit story mate, damage limitation after Adidas dropped them.

Look all you want but you'll get no official word anywhere from Liverpool FC or New Balance/Warrior that this is a £25M per year deal. Liverpool's spin doctors are spinning away and all their gormless fans are lapping it up.

Technically Liverpool did dump them, but only because Adidas wouldn't pay what they wanted.

Quite odd that isn't it........ And of course all of the RS fans now expect that the club has another £150M to spend on players, should be interesting if they don't spend big.......

 

[ToffeeDan]

So long as they keep wasting in on the likes of Carol, Henson & Dowling then £25M a year will never be enough.

Nike competed the Warrior until the end and offered the same money, but wanted full control over official shop as they do with MU. LFC is second biggest seller of shirts for Adidas and biggest on overall merchandising. If they offered more than 15 millions to Liverpool they would have to increase contract with Real, Bayern.

Just face it, your racist franchise is finished baby.

Even a company formed by two former nazi party members had to disassociate themselves with Liverpool because of their racism.

They're the pariahs of the football world.

Anyone else hear that rumour that Carroll is off on loan to Blackpool?

Luis Suarez to Barcelona? He is at their training ground now, and will watch tonight's Clasico rather than the Carling Cup semi-final.

I'd honestly take it for the right money, i.e £35m +, but they really really don't need him and are in bad enough debt as it is.

Damagedf goods mate, you wouldn't get anywhere near that for someone who is such a liability, Barca will tempt him and instruct him to manufacture a move in the summer for less than you paid.

Nailed on.

You might get offered Alves or some other bad diving cheating snide in exchange. Go on, "he's der'best leftback in der'werld laaa"
