    Stupid article. How can you include the cost of acquiring the club in a figure about it's running costs?

    Exactly, Saint. As I said earlier, it's a load of cock. In any case, how long is it since we could spend without selling?

    We replaced him with Suarez and Carroll.

    Anyone with half a braincell can see the flaws in this article.

    Could have sworn Suarez was signed before Carroll when Torres was still a Liverpool player and that Carroll arrived to replace Torres.

    Nope we knew Torres wanted out and bought Suarez to replace him, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

    Well thought out article.

    So if you take away the price of the club its still more than United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham. 4 of the 5 clubs who finished above Liverpool last season.

    Is that right, I havent bothered to check.

    I roughly got 2.5million. Pretty sure its right but anyone willing to check it can do so.

    Otherwise lets accept my guess was correct.

    What a ****e article (not yours custard, the 442 one). They've measured the pounds per points of the club based on the amount of points it has won since it was taken over by its current owners? So obviously Liverpool are going to be top of the list - they're the only PL club to have been taken over in the last three years (QPR aside IIRC) <doh>

    The article doesn't even look at spending on transfers, only money paid in by the owners. I was hoping from the title that this article might actually show points per total player spend (transfers plus wages) which would have been very interesting. Now thoroughly disappointed...

    If you take off the 300million for liverpool and then calculate it again its 2.5million roughly. Putting them still higher than anyone else except city.

    So we had half a season with Hodgson, and Dalglish gets blamed for Hodgson's awful start?? Very odd.
