Rodgers safe, DoF in and some transfer talk

The PL and Liverpool is one tempting challenge I would have thought for the right man who really wants a challenge and not just a blank cheque. Houllier and Rafa, both top managers, took the challenge and both succeeded in different ways. We need a Klopp or Ancelotti level of manager now, prepared to put themselves out there and win the title by managing their way to it, not just buying it.

 

Any links to show what your saying is correct apart from the figures FSG's accountants post after audit?

 

And both failed in one crucial one.

It would be great if we could get that sort of manager. And Klopp would, on the face of it, seem like a good fit. But can we find such a manager and can we tempt them to us instead of someone else?

Or is Rodgers in fact the man to take us forward?

 

Football's changed and is changing so fast. Violins out ...... There was a day when managers were paid pretty much the same whichever club they were at so the love of the game was what it was all about - same with players [although I'm sure some were on £200 a week when the rest were on £100]. Our situation now would have translated back then as a plum job bringing huge respect and sense of awe to the manager who could claim the title [Dalglish/Blackburn ...]. Now the top managers just want to sign on to one of a handful of already successful clubs where their biggest motivator is how much money will be handed over.

 

I just didn't bother reading it

 

thanks tobes

so they are 350mil in the hole not 200 mil... still looks attractive at 600mil worth supposedly.

If they lfoated 30% of club value who much do you think they'd rake in if they did it on Uk stock market or us stock market..

 

Football: West Ham United have qualified for next season's Europa League after topping the Premier League Fair Play table.



So is that us part time again next season?

 

nope.

we were 6th... if villa win cup then southampton are part time.

we get cheslea's league cup europa prize hand me down.

 

Cheers(I think)mito.

 

So Martinez doesn't need to worry about missing his first EL game then

 

no they are so small they went out of their way to get cards on last day to avoid it.

#smalltimey.

all the work they did this year in europa is ineffect wasted as they post a blank year again and if they ever did find themselves by some miracle in CL they'd be 4th seeds and mullered.

 

11th

Where's his Martinez Out headlines? Nobody's bothered, least of all the fans .... used to it. Moyes MKII - job for life

 

could be the case.. they got a wee bit upset when they looked to be on the slide like hull but a few wins and they all shrugged and didn't care

 

More focussed on us - as per Everton mates just want to talk about Rodgers, that shadow's still looming large

 

The new TV deal will put them straight into profit if they keep the cost base stable, so they should be showing a genuine PBIT come this time next year.

Hard to stick a value on a football club as it all depends on the subjective view on the value of the intangible assets, the potential perceived future value in terms of it's marketability, and ultimately the reason the buyer wants to own it!

I doubt they'll float it personally, not at this stage anyway. If they sell it'd be the whole lot.

 

Once any hope of CL disappears what's to get excited about?

The EL is a pain in the arse and can harm your chase for the holy grail of CL football, so 7th or 11th who cares?

 

One mickey mouse in 9 years, yep that shadow is indeed dark.....

 

from where you are i'm sure it does look that way.

 

We can't even win that...

 

clearly you've just proved that your club gets too much money and settles for midtable then.

europa builds squads, builds reputation, capability and you might even get a cup run domestically out of that better set up.

The fact is EL has feck all money but it seems to matter to spanish clubs and they do well out of it.

perhaps as a small selling club you'd want to prove to the bigger fish that your players like barkey are not just fat numpties by giving them this platform like you did for lukaku.. he mst be worth what 20mil now as a result for scoring a few in there.
