Not been to OT for a decade. Been to Anfield just a year ago.

Explain how we are skint then mate. Given we take $750m per year in revenue and a value of about $4bn, and continue to spend around £150m per year on players while selling relatively little.
Do you think a man who earns £500k a year and has a mortgage of £350k is skint, out of interest?
This is one of the type that say we "buy" success and overpay for players and wages, all that whilst skint
The debt by the way, was funds borrowed by the Glazers to acquire the ‘company’. The value of the company at the time IIRC was about £800m and has since grown to about 4 times that.
Yeah we owe the bank £400m but that’s like laughing at a man who bought a house for £300k 10 years ago using 100% borrowed money, because he still owes the bank £200k despite the fact that his house is now worth £1m

Your revenues are falling and your debt is rising - and that's without factoring Covid into the picture yet. And there's no point having a £3bn home if it's a firesale during a crisis and nobody will pay that: that is the mistake Hicks and Gillette made. But go on, get yourselves a $1bn in debt if you think it's okay, and keep calling solvent clubs 'skint'. Tuppenny ha'penny snobs, as my granny used to call such fools. You'll be on Provvy cheques in three years.
Tbf, you should be happy then - the way the club is being run they'll be forced to sell the club within the next five years. Bad news for the rest of us - they're supposed to have siphoned off at least £1bn during their tenure. You should have been richer than Real and barca, in truth.
So we won't be spending much this window then?
Whatever we do spend will still be eclipsed by what the Glazers take out and we will still be able to service their debts, skint though

What the **** are you chatting about
The club isn’t for sale, I think we can all agree on that.
There’s no way you can spin this which results in us being skint, sorry. You lot on the other hand, well, where’s Werner?
Werner wasn't worth the money, nothing to do with him being more impressed by fat Frank than the Klopp personal touch.What the **** are you chatting about

Game tonight was a fitting showpiece for the Covid season ... underwhelming, somewhat chaotic, slightly surreal and, ultimately, rather unsatisfactory and unfulfilling ...

Er, no - YOU said we were skint: we're palpably not, just not prepared to go further in debt in this climate when we don't need to. You, on the other hand, 'rich' as you are (as were Blackburn, back in the 19th century) are prepared to heap more and more debt against falling revenues. Disappointed we never pursued Werner, and I said so on the Liverpool board, but as with the talk of Koulibally, we don't NEED him, good players as they are. There are three players crucial to Liverpool - Allison, VVD and Mane. If we lost any of those, we'd need to spend big money to replace them.
Btw, where's Sancho? Falling revenues, rising debts, growing wage bill. Oh dear...
How you getting on with the Thiago transfer mate, do you "need" him or dont you?https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...hester-United-list-worlds-valuable-clubs.html

Is £30m a bit steep for you lot?
