I'm pretty sure he can afford it

 

Nice swerve.

 

Not been to OT for a decade. Been to Anfield just a year ago.

Not as creative as pretending that a club half a billion dollars in debt is not skint.

 

Explain how we are skint then mate. Given we take $750m per year in revenue and a value of about $4bn, and continue to spend around £150m per year on players while selling relatively little.

Do you think a man who earns £500k a year and has a mortgage of £350k is skint, out of interest?

 

This is one of the type that say we "buy" success and overpay for players and wages, all that whilst skint

 

The debt by the way, was funds borrowed by the Glazers to acquire the ‘company’. The value of the company at the time IIRC was about £800m and has since grown to about 4 times that.

Yeah we owe the bank £400m but that’s like laughing at a man who bought a house for £300k 10 years ago using 100% borrowed money, because he still owes the bank £200k despite the fact that his house is now worth £1m

 

For the record I hate the ****ing Glazers and their **** Woodward.

 

Your revenues are falling and your debt is rising - and that's without factoring Covid into the picture yet. And there's no point having a £3bn home if it's a firesale during a crisis and nobody will pay that: that is the mistake Hicks and Gillette made. But go on, get yourselves a $1bn in debt if you think it's okay, and keep calling solvent clubs 'skint'. Tuppenny ha'penny snobs, as my granny used to call such fools. You'll be on Provvy cheques in three years.

And that's before Covid.

 

Tbf, you should be happy then - the way the club is being run they'll be forced to sell the club within the next five years. Bad news for the rest of us - they're supposed to have siphoned off at least £1bn during their tenure. You should have been richer than Real and barca, in truth.

 

So we won't be spending much this window then?

Whatever we do spend will still be eclipsed by what the Glazers take out and we will still be able to service their debts, skint though

 

What the **** are you chatting about

The club isn’t for sale, I think we can all agree on that.

There’s no way you can spin this which results in us being skint, sorry. You lot on the other hand, well, where’s Werner?

 

Just imagine it

 

Sat here chatting to Astro’s dad who thinks the most commercially viable club in world football are about to go to the wall

I’m out.

Night lads.

 

Werner wasn't worth the money, nothing to do with him being more impressed by fat Frank than the Klopp personal touch.

 

Game tonight was a fitting showpiece for the Covid season ... underwhelming, somewhat chaotic, slightly surreal and, ultimately, rather unsatisfactory and unfulfilling ...

 

Yeah, not a patch on last seasons all English final without COVID

Er, no - YOU said we were skint: we're palpably not, just not prepared to go further in debt in this climate when we don't need to. You, on the other hand, 'rich' as you are (as were Blackburn, back in the 19th century) are prepared to heap more and more debt against falling revenues. Disappointed we never pursued Werner, and I said so on the Liverpool board, but as with the talk of Koulibally, we don't NEED him, good players as they are. There are three players crucial to Liverpool - Allison, VVD and Mane. If we lost any of those, we'd need to spend big money to replace them.

Btw, where's Sancho? Falling revenues, rising debts, growing wage bill. Oh dear...

 

How you getting on with the Thiago transfer mate, do you "need" him or dont you?
Is £30m a bit steep for you lot?
