I'm not talking about performance or reputation based anything, again, this is just you dancing around actual issues to suit your odd narrative. The fact is that we're much closer to them financially, than Villa are to us, not even close.
Liverpool are the biggest club in England in the most relevant sense - success on the football field. Over the past 45 years, they have won more stuff than any other team.
INSANE levels of "fun with selected endpoints" here. Seriously, bravo
100% this - we all fucking know the net spend figure is a smokescreen of sheer bollocks for morons. WAGES Daniel thats why we don't compete, we all know it ffs.
Is there a period of time where that is not true? Come on. You don’t need to reach into stock rebuttals without engaging your brain.
I don't want to wade into their never ending bollocks about who is knocking whom off of which perch, but yeah, in the Premier League era, Manchester United has been much more successful than Liverpool, and City and Chelsea have been by most reckonings as well. Even for the sake of strengthening my argument I won't give Woolwich that credit.
gonna be hilarious when Levy finally leaves and drops all these plebs like a bad habitI actually find it a bit creepy
The endpoints were comparing us with Liverpool.
Again, we finished ahead of them 8 times in 9 years from 2010-2019
Imagine making up fantasies like this online. Go watch some porn - it’ll be far more rewarding.
Someone said that to me in late 90s in the coach and horses on the high road just before the match. Rome werent built in a day. Was it built in 27 years?
Tbh a lot of credit at liverpool goes to ex ceo ian ayre. Remember him hiring klopp after rodgers left. Hoping our new CEO is forward thinking like that.
They’ve won multiple league titles, champions leagues, f a cups, league cups, super cups in the past 25 years.
but again, ad nauseam, we sign the wrong players because they accept lower wages not because we scouted poorly. we may have scouted poorly as well but we signed johnson and odobert and not neto because they fit the wage structure and were overall less risky despite big transfer fees for someone like johnson. we're just not touching £300k a week for five years on top players and that's what it takes to win this league. clubs like liverpool want to win, not build a sustainable model that will last generations.
But my point was, buy quality not quantity!
but it's about the level of risk levy the bean counter will take on. one player for all that money is a different risk than three who are also younger with more upside. i really believe daniel has ptsd from n'dombelly and we're just not doing something like that ever again. and by 'that' i mean, paying enough wages to make him join us over other suitors.
