smokie36 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Lets hope for all our sakes that you start performing again next season then we won't have to put up with this <deleted>, From a Manc thats saying summat! it's really not. i think were going to be pretty unrecognisable next season. expecting a major summer to be honest. owners have been pretty quiet so far but they have big ideas. There's no particular reason to say that though is there? Been impressed with your youngsters coming through and for sure much the same as us you need a sizeable injection of cash into the playing squad. I just wonder where the money will come from especially if the market remains ridiculously inflated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be right there but it remains to be seen whether they have big plans for Liverpool or the Red Sox. However atleast they reinvested the Torres money straight back into the squad and i very much doubt whether Hicks would have done that. Any more news about Dalglish and a new contract?

Abrak Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I just wonder where the money will come from especially if the market remains ridiculously inflated. Where's the money going to come from is a very good question. LFC lodged their annual accounts (to July 2010) (they take their time) the other day. They showed a 20m loss on revenues up 7m at 184m. Of course, since then FSG has taken them over and paid off their debt which will save 17m a year and they wont have the exceptional cost of getting rid of Rafa and staff which was 8m. However LFC is no longer in the CL so that this years revenues will be 30m lower as will next year's. The principle problem is that the wage bill increased 17m to 114m in a year when the club fell from 2nd to 7th. So that we no longer have the squad we had before but we still have the wages. In contrast Spurs who beat us in the league had a wage bill 47m lower during the same period. So the money isnt coming out of internally generated cash flows as the club isnt profitable. Which means if they spend heavily in the summer they can either start increasing debt again or they can dip into their own pockets and inject equity. An equity injection seems the most prudent and obvious thing to do. Although there are some fans who thought that just paying off LFC's debts would turn it into a gold mine, the club clearly needs considerable investment to be successful after years of underinvestment.

It all boils down to which chairman is prepared to gamble. Given both our clubs need new stadia and with uncertainty clouding the managerial positions for next season anything could and probably will happen. I've seen nothing so far to suggest you'll be spending big though and Levy has already said we have cash to spend only Redknapp hasn't the courage to take the bull by the horns. If you retain Dalglish he'll have no such compunction. Saying that a lack of investment could see some players demanding a move.....not an easy business that as dropping a disgruntled player on nearly 100 grand a week isn't a great option. Another leap towards bankruptcy for us all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abrak Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Pepe Reina's 150th consecutive league appearance tonight. Dirk Kuyt's attempt at scoring in 5 consecutive games - something that no Liverpool player has achieved in the Premiership era. Also if Liverpool score it will be the 18th consecutive league match in which they have scored (including every one of Kenny's games). No other team has scored in more than 11 consecutive matches in this season (Spurs and ManU). The only premiership team that havent scored this weekend is Arsenal (that I can think of).

skydiver77 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Outstanding performance by Suarez last night. And everyone else for that matter. All grafting and hard running.

Devil Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 absolutely loving luis suarez, fantastic player. kenny's just getting so much out of everyone isn't he? fun again. I know, I know...great to watch last night ! Fulham looked out of sorts but to be honest I thought the reason their back four was all over the shop was the movement of Kuyt, Maxi, Meireless and especially Suarez - he times his runs to perfection and moves across the back of the defenders blind spot if you will! - hes a nightmare I think Lucas and Spearing have been brilliant past few games together, they don't give the opposition breathing space and have showed they have a good range of passes now we play with movement ahead of them. However its the energy and work rate they put in! Anyway wont get too carried away - but but the last few games are going to be interesting - watching City and Spurs tonight with interest!

And its been one hell of a rollercoaster this season. As an aside when did a team last knock 5 against Fulham at home in the league? Answer? I dont know - certainly not while they were in the premiership or league division one. At least 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoooooooooshhhhh..... just saw 4th whizzz by..... Still makes it all the easier to come 5th. I dont think enough credit has been given where credit is due in this regard. It is fine to point out how brilliant Suarez and Kenny have been but it could not have been achieved without a quite spectacular performance by ........ Spurs. 9 points in 10 matches even outdoes our woy and is below relegation form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
