I think the key things to remember here are the fact that we had to write off £50mil this year from the previous regime which dented us heavily. Positivley going forward, we look to have increased our annual revenue by something crazy like 300% which would see us not that far behind you in terms of generation. Add to this the deals FSG are still working on in thebackground and we'll be pushing you financially (Albeit due to the fact we don't have the debt anymore) but still, the signs look good for us!
I think you've overlooked the potential for commercial revenue to a degree in the past, probably because you've been relying on your fanbase for income but the sign are that you're finally tapping into the commerical revenue that you should have been trying to get. It won't be instant, I think a big step will be getting back into CL contention which I don't see as being impossible, probably not this year, but if FFP comes in then I can see the potential for you to get back into the top 4. Once you get there then the potential for bigger deals opens up as Swarbs said earlier.
Absolutely spot on there, I think we were subject to the traditional quick buck regime and weren't (For want of a better phrase) exploited the way we should have been. I think if we had been utilised better in the 80's and early 90's, we wouldn't be so many light years behind you guys as we are at the moment. Like I said, we seem to be heading in the right direction and as long as we don't get screwed over in the meantime (Which is not an impossibility given no one expected it the last time round) we should be back on track in a year or two.
Dave A, its all well and good saying once Liverpool get there they will get more sponsorship money etc etc.... 1. They have to get there, they are currently nowhere near and each season they are not in the Champions League makes it harder for them to ever get back. 2. Their playing staff are of a poor standard relative to the other clubs competing for the top 4. What happens if they fail to reach the Champions League over the next 3 years?
Btw, where do you get the 300% commercial revenues increase from? Are you basing it on your commercial revenues in 1892? Its doubled since 2006.
For ****s sake, give this dog a bone or something to chew on because he's hurting my ****in head - Look up the deals LFC have agreed and you'll see quite clearly where the increase has come in since FSG took ownership. Get a grip UIR, and let's make one thing perfectly clear - You don't speak for anyone else bt yourself, you're a ****ing idiot!
I looked gimp.. 2006 37million 2011 77million That covers the period from H&G to FSG and erm...... yeh, I will let you figure it out. Take your time, you are going to need it.
Lets have a look at the last couple of deals brokered by the team at LFC: Chevrolet £5million per year Warrior Sport £25mil per year Stand. Chart £20mil Per year Garuda £13.3Mil Per year Add to this the TV rights, gate reciepts and deals agreed prior to these - I think you'll find your arguement is bollocks UIR pretty much like the rest of the **** you talk. Now the majority of us had moved on and started talking sensibly - Shame you can't!
So far not one person agrees with whonext yet hes calling me, swarbs, kingeric and others idiots. All 3 of us in our own ways have made fools of this **** but yet he continues. What will it take? Its getting ****ing embarrassing for the **** now.
Name calling again UIR, exactly after I present facts you start caloing me names. If you'd notice, no one is bothered about what you have to say, I'm just taking pity on you in the hope of stopping making you look a bigger tool. Feel free to carry on but I have grown up things to do.
I will continue to talk down to you like the ****ing moron you are. Very nice of you to get some figures but exactly where is the 300% increase in commercial revenues? The 4 deals you did quote are about as much collectively as our shirt sponsor deal will be, so like I said, Liverpool are nowhere near United off the pitch or on it. Go on embarrass yourself some more.
Course you do. As for name calling......... I am simply stating what everyone else thinks. Also remind me, who was the **** dishing out the insults to No One Famous, myself, Swarbs and others? Ah thats right, this ****ing 2 bit **** I am responding to now. You will find everything I have said has been confirmed by several members in this thread, numerous times, all in an attempt to educate some ****wit called whonext. Do carry on though, you are helping the stereotype about Liverpool fans with each post you make
I give in, I seriously give in - Where did I say we had increased our revenue by 300% on yours? Why do you insist in fabricating things to make your arguement look feasible when at best, you are illustrating the fact you can't look at things from a different perspective! You mate, are in desperate need of help and you won't find it here! I will now make it my mission to follow you round and make you look like the twat you are - Bring it on! ***
You and Slevin have mentioned it numerous times. Along with you incorrectly stating United transfers. Oh and lets not forget you dont know who Liverpool are.... Hes going to follow me around lads. Going in me sig is this and I hope to god he doesnt forget.
Who you talking to UIR? There's no one there...You hearing those voices again? Better get the meds ready this could be a long night for you and your imaginary friends!
