    I'm guessing the amounts owed to players are not even the full amounts, perhaps meaning that they were free to move on elsewhere ? It may be bonuses owed along with signing on fees, it's a big mess that's all I know!

    Fans need to get a grip with what goes on at football

    Clubs nowadays,it may be too late otherwise,most seem happy to keep the head in the sand though

    £6,5m quid musty! That's without the current playing budget and costs in the current season.crazy stuff . I'm not sure what attendance they are getting but it may be possible if they are packing out the ground

    i see Norwich, cardiff and Swansea have the best 3 home attendances this season re capacity, all over 100%, seems odd unless the original capacity has not been updated

    Capacity at the Liberty was due to increase to ~22k this year, not sure if that has happened though.

    Cant you read or don't you understand what the strongest possible side means. those stats mean sod all other than 12 points out of a possible 45.....What part don't you understand when i say the tactics that laudrup will play is the key to every game and looking at the points gained stats to the games we have played in the premiership is very poor.....the players are good players its laudrup that is letting the side down and that is the area that needs improving.....the figures are there for all to see....

    come on bony this is liverpool we are playing who have won all three games without conceding while we have won one game...Granted we have the players capable of winning but do we have the manager because his win rate is not that good since we started to play his way.....I want to see a massive improvement in his technical ability before i will be convinced he has what it takes to mix it with the better managers in the premiership.

    So lets not bother turning up ,I mean it's the mighty Liverpool who have swept all before them with their stunning 1-0 wins .They are undoubtably a good side but to insinuate that Rodgers is a better manger where statistically it's proven that he's not atm is doing our club/manager a disservice .

    The season started after West Brom....everyone knows this Dai, ask anyone

    We are undefeated, have a 100% record and showed a killer instinct to put the game to bed by scoring a second.

    Which is better than Liverpool managed in their first game of the season...to be honest they were clinging on there in the second half and had a very small share of the possession. This is not Rodgers' style at all and if he doesn't buck up his ideas and get Liverpool playing the style which has served them so well in the past I can see the Liverpool board getting rid.

    We also have a better goal difference than Liverpool and have only wasted £12 million on one player whilst they have wasted £18 million on PSG's 4th choice centre-back....so can only see a 3-0 win for the Swans....anyone who disagrees obviously hasn't understood my argument and is a ****ing idiot to boot.

    the west brom game was a good win but as they have problems of their own and looked a poor side then we cant gauge much from that as they matched us in the game but had our problem of bad finishing that plagued us not long ago. I just don't like the way laudrup has got us playing the game and i hope he can improve and learn from past results. there is no doubt about it we have the players to win but i'm not confident in the managers ability to use the players in the correct way....his system is ok abroad but in the premiership its lacking in creativity and flair to win many games......I have noticed a hell of a change to the way we use to play and i think its not for the better either. Im all for the manager trying something new but if it dont work dont stick with it revert back and try something else....or if its not broke leave it alone....

    Since when did you decide Laudrup was going to be your new figure of hate ? was it-

    1. When Jenkins coughed up mega money so you couldn't say he was a tight fist who wont spend or,
    2. When he eclipsed Brendens acheivements with top notch players,finished higher and won our first trophy in 100yrs.


    And by the way,you've been asked a million times now, what is your strongest line up ?

    Laudrup has a plan A,B,C and D which is actually a lot more refreshing then watching us turn up away from home knowing we would get beaten,like we did under Rodgers <ok>

    Dai will not give us his strongest team for two reasons-if he picks the same side as Michael and we lose against his beloved Liverpool, he will not be able to criticize Michael.Secondly-if his selection is different and we win the game ,again he will not be able to criticize.The silence is deafening!!!!!!

    It hasn't taken me long to see what goes on with this forum. Criticism aimed at the club and manager but nothing constructive offered in return and a failure to answer questions that are perfectly reasonable and in no way confrontational. It's like throwing a hand grenade into the mix, seeing what happens and then sit back and laugh at the fall out.

    In contrast I have to say that I find people like Norway Jack's input very refreshing and thought provoking but I fear he will never get an answer to his question
