If Sahin goes that will be £35m PER SEASON,we have lost in player wages since May, there must be someone other than Ince who comes in if Sahin goes, BR says squad is light in Dec, so we make it even f**kin lighter.With 2 record Kit Sponsors, Warrior and SC putting in £45m per season, and obscene amounts of cash being taken from Sky,ESPN,BBC and other overseas TV and radio deals.Approx £40m thru the turnstiles.And then theres souveneirs,club shop,merchandise Whre the f**k is this cash going.FSG are taking us for mugs
inb4 sympathy post bs I agree they are being slimeyish but the wages being cut isnt actual cash in their hands its just cash they dont have to find to pay out
saving it up for redevelopment of Anfield don't have a clue to be honest, i can only assume if money is not spent in Jan to strengthen as no value, if we don't have a decent amount to spend in the Summer or no stadium plans in place the support for the owners will start to dwindle.
Aqualani £90k a week £4.5m a year + £3m transfer Maxi £80k a week £4m a year free transfer ( didnt want contract paying up,took wage cut to leave ) Kuyt £80k a week £4m a year + £1m transfer Aurelio £50k a week £2.5m a year free transfer finished contract Bellamy £90k a week £4.5m a year free transfer ( didnt want contract paying up,took wage cut to leave ) Adam £60k a week £3m a year + £4m transfer Carroll £80k a week £4m a year loan Sahin £65k a week £3.25m a year Spearing £20k a week £1m a year loan Cole £100k a week £5m a year + free transfer ( did want part of contract paying up costing £3m, but saving £4m) With these player movements OUT, since the summer LFC made £5m on transfers fees (Adam + Kuyt )Aqualani gain offset by Cole loss paying him off. And ALSO have SAVED £35.75m PER YEAR on wages And then like I say turnstile cash,S Chartered,Warriors,Sky,ESPN,Beeb,Souvenier, other sponsors,Chevrolet,Carlsberg, etc
That 37.5 would have been coming out of the sky.......etc. money. Now its not , there is no extra 37.5 to be added to the sky money.
Lets wait and see if they stump up some cash for players in the Summer. The money for Anfield also needs to come from somewhere.
Thing is luv they're are investors yet they aren't investing nearly whats enough needed to get us up to date team/stadium wise to compete with the best. The kids coming through have been a bonus but they were only brought through mainly due to necessity.
You're English has got a bit better Den Zlat I think my stance has been pretty much well known for a while now and people urged patience in the summer and will continue to do so now. I just can't let it stress me out because I really don't know what their intentions are. However I think by the end of the window we'll all know where we're headed with them whether that be down, up or just stalling. Granted I don't want/expect them to go mental Carroll style but if we are to improve then the squad needs investment now and not just Sturridge and Ince. The more windows we spend failing to build the harder it becomes to ever get back up to the top without big investment or a decade of building work. P.s. If anyone believes they're saving money for stadium improvements they have a lot more faith than me.
I'm on my phone and cant be bothered logging out of the profile or acting like an Albainian terrorist.
Wonder if any cash was set aside in case the Hicks Gillette thing which has just been settled dragged the club into court? The action was against the directors I think but club maybe had a duty of care and may have set aside some cash. Wonder if we will now buy Messi !
i suggest you look at the last available accounts. this link will do.... http://andersred.blogspot.com/2012/05/scale-of-fenways-challenge-at-liverpool.html its not a great picutre as accounts are always a year behind but if you then look at the write off we did then you see that we are a club seeming capable of at the very least breaking even. example we made 183mil that year before players salves profit and spent 173mil in all operating costs.. thats a whole 10mil to spend. the profit on player wages shows precisely where we were able to spend the money. this is a good article done at the time as it shows why we needed to reduce the wages.... this reduction in wages comes at a cost with some guys still being paid like cole or ohthers who were on laon being a drain on us for example. the revenues aint doubling sadly... so seeing us being able to buy a player here and there for relatively big money is what we are at... FSG are NOT giving us anything. they have freed us of debt and we are on our own. no sugar daddies but no moeny going missing either IMO. we had to pay of kenny, hodgson, rafa... etc etc etc... all in all the club is being run on a profit basis now... should we really be complaining abnout this.. or just say I think we'd all rather have a sugar daddy buy us the league... fsg aint that.
Thing is MITO they've made brewsters off our back in the last 12 months no matter which way you juggle the figures, they need to show us their real intentions soon or like H&G they'll be hounded out.
Henry and therefore FSG have made it very clear that any investment will have to come from the monies that we earn. So we either earn more, reduce costs or both. Well we've reduced costs and we have earnt more (from off-field activities). The decision therefore is an executive one ie stadium fund or team development. So, unless a player that Rodgers really wants becomes available then he is going to keep his brass in his pocket.
We've secured the biggest kit deal in prem history and numerous other partnerships and sponsorships etc dave, no matter what they're using some of that money to prop up the piss poor Red Sox, we'd have been better off with an owner/owners that focus totally on one club/franchise.
We'd have been better off if Parry didn't look after his own job and sell us to DIC ... They had plans to sell us again in 7 years which would be this year or next BUT they had plans to invest like **** to make us successful and up the price so they turned a profit. I'd have accepted that anyday over what has gone on.
