Rafael Could Sell Star Duo!

[arch stanton]

I would laugh my cockoff if they went. Not bothered if they get shedloads of cash to spend either as the FSW is rubbish at spending money on players (Torres aside) as he'd spend £20m buying back Heskey

Without Liverpool FC, would Everton be the same though?
I'd much rather they remained a great team, but we were better.

Fully deserving of a neg rep this mate.

Is that some sort of joke?

You are aware that when Liverpool had no home to go to we offered them Anfield and moved to Goodison Park so they could remain in existence?

I'd rather they became a non entity and we remained a great team.

If you want to be a childish prick, then good for you m8.
And your knowledge of our history is pitiful. We left the ground because the rent went up.
Thanks for the neg rep though. I think I can handle it.

At least I don't go on Bluemoon stating complete bollox as fact, and making us all look stupid here on GOT.
You know sod all about football m8, so may I suggest you read up a little before throwing so called facts around.

Bluemoon • View topic - Moyes on Vieira..

Gerrard will leave Liverpool in a second. Yeah, he's been loyal to the club over their good years, but everyone knows what kind of character he is, the guy is a complete ****head. If they don't qualify for the Champion's League, he will be out the door faster than you can imagine.

He's been in a sulk all season already.

He was pretty much out the door and over to Chelsea a few years ago until Liverpool matched his obscene contract (130K/week after taxes I think) at the last minute. Rafael and Gerrard have never gotten along very well and I think Rafael actually wanted the 35M transfer fee to buy his kind of players.

I even think Gerrard wouldn't hesitate to go to United if the money was right.

Here is what happened regarding Everton moving from Anfield :

It is seldom remembered outside Merseyside, but never forgotten in Liverpool, that Everton played at Anfield for eight years between 1884-92, and it was only their departure from the ground that prompted the formation of rivals Liverpool. Furthermore, Everton even won their first championship at Anfield in 1891.
The club began life as St Domingo FC in 1878 and found a pitch in Stanley Park, which had just been laid out for the public and still stands between Anfield and Goodison Park. They played opposite the house of local alderman and Conservative MP, John Houlding, who was soon to become known as "King John" of Everton. (Everton is the name of the district just west of the park). By 1882 unofficial attendances had risen to 2000 and so it was decided that a properly enclosed ground where the club could charge admission would be advisable.
At a meeting in the Sandon Hotel, owned by Houlding's brewery, in March 1882, a Mr. Cruitt of Coney Green offered Everton a fenced and gated field in Priory Road opposite the park. Enough funds were found to move in the following year and changing rooms and a small stand were built. The first match, a representative game between Everton and Walsall, raised gate receipts of only 13 shillings. The ground was inconvenient for public transport and the noise from Everton's growing number of followers "disturbed the pastoral serenity of Mr. Cruitt's environment".
Instead, in 1884, Houlding secured them a field which he partly owned in Anfield Road. He also acted as agent on behalf of the landlord of the other part, a Mr. Orell. The Sandon Hotel became the club's headquarters, and fences and hoardings were put up by memebers. Match receipts rose immediately from £45 at Priory Road to £200 at Anfield by 1885. In Everton's last season before joining the new Football League in 1888, they paid Houlding a rent of £100, but after finishing as runners-up in their second League season their rent increased to £250 a year. Houlding also had the sole rights to sell refreshments at Anfield.
Unhappy with this situation, the committee met in May 1889 and decided to look for another ground. Some of them objected to having the club's affairs run from a licensed hotel, while others were reluctant to lose the money invested in the club's fixtures and fittings at Anfield. The ground was quite suitable after all, and in March of that year had been host to an international match between England and Ireland. They offered Houlding a compromise rent of £180 for the next season, but received no reply. In fact Houlding was incensed. He had already tried to buy out Orell, who planned to make alterations to his part of the field, and offered to sell Everton the entire plot for £6,000. When the club refused, Houlding served them notice to quit, and attempted to form his own Everton FC and Athletic Grounds Limited at Anfield. (He succeeded, but the new club became known as Liverpool, since the League ruled that Everton should take their name with them.)
In response to Houlding's wrath, Everton held a special meeting in January 1892, by which time they had consolidated their position by winning the Championship in 1891, making aprofit of £1,700. A committee member, George Mahon, the organist at St. Domingo's church, revealed that he had an option on a field on the north side of Stanley Park, called Mere Green. Gibson and Pickford's "Book of Football" in 1906 described the field as having "degenerated from a nursery into a howling desert", rather similar to the site on which White Hart Lane was built. Everton formed a limited company and with considerable help from another committee member, Dr James Baxter, bought the 30,000-square yard site for £8,090, a high price even in those days. At last they were free of Houlding's tyranny! Houlding even tried to stop Everton officials as they attempted to take away the turnstiles and fittings from Anfield.

M8, I couldn't give a monkeys if you neg rep every post I make, but what I do care about is when you make uneducated comments regarding our club, and state them as fact.
Liverpool were only formed after we left Anfield.
We didn't help them in any way what so ever.

At my age, having sat side by side with reds and blues alike at Derbies, I really don't go in for all this hatred of the newer generation.

Liverpool ARE a great club, whether we want them to be or not, and my post was that I wanted them still to be great, but for us to be better, so it nags at them more when we win things because of them still having great expectancy.

That is not hatred, but sportsmanship.

I suggest you put your brain into gear in future, before acting like a 2 year old, as it's this silly hatred that is spoiling football.

It's just a game.

I understand your point, BB, but I'd be most amused to see RS drop a division, if only briefly such as Man Ure experienced in the mid-70's. But you're quite right, I'm more bothered that we should be better - I'll be quite happy for RS to reach every cup final as long as we defeat them there!

Much more satisfying beating them that way.

Tsar,
Sorry for calling you a prick.
I've not been myself lately and my medication is giving me highs and lows. Unfortunately, today I was on a low,, or may have dealt with the situation a little better.
Apologies.

I don't think he'll sell either unless they demand transfers, I hope it happens but I really don't think they'll be going anytime soon. Shame really because they really would be ****ed
