    Anyone else notice John Henry has an Adidas Liverpool jacket in the photo with Linda Pizzuti. Either his jacket is from the old Adidas kit days or he’s let the cat out the bag with who’s gonna be our new kit supplier.

    interesting, didn't notice at time lol, any one think anything in this?

    That's because neither cup is worth **** but one is a single game, the other is several games.

    As I said before; people want to be part of the Super Cup but generally don't care too much about the outcome.

    Despite also being ****e nowadays, the FA Cup means more than both combined.

    Well we still have NB for this next season, so even if we sign with Adidas I doubt there will be any products until near the end of the season. It will likely be them or Nike though, sadly dont think NB can compete

    With respect, that seems an odd way of looking at things to me. By the same token it's easier to win by just avoiding a slip-up in one game.
    Many "lesser" teams would fancy their chances against a top team in a one-off game, and rightly so. The fact is that an extended competition gives an overall view of your ability to consistently come out on top.
    I get the argument that to be in the SP you have to win one of the major trophies, but that criterion also applies to the Charity Shield (usually) - is anyone seriously suggesting we should count them in our major trophy haul?
    The European finals should be seen as the culmination of the season, the idea that there is still somewhere to go after that just devalues them, imo.
    Super Cup is an exhibition match, that's all.

    Liverpool set to be top seed for 2019-20 Champions League

    Liverpool will head into the group stages of the 2019-20 Champions League as a top seed after winning the competition on Saturday.
    The victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the Madrid final means the Reds will be in pot one when the groups are drawn for next season's tournament in Monaco on August 29.
    Joining Jürgen Klopp's side in the first pot are the champions from the six top-ranked nations and Europa League winners Chelsea.
    Liverpool - who were placed in pot three in 2018-19 - already achieved automatic qualification for Europe's premier club competition with their second-place finish in the Premier League this term.
    Therefore, the spot reserved for the holders of the European Cup has since been allocated to Austrian champions Red Bull Salzburg.
    Twenty-six teams have qualified automatically for next season's Champions League, subject to final confirmation by UEFA.
    Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Valencia, Juventus, Napoli, Atalanta, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Bayer Leverkusen, Paris Saint-Germain, Lille, Lyon, Zenit St Petersburg, Lokomotiv Moscow, Benfica, Shakhtar Donetsk, KRC Genk, Galatasaray and Red Bull Salzburg.
    Pot one: Liverpool, Chelsea, Barcelona, Manchester City, Juventus, Bayern, PSG, Zenit.

    well this is bloody simple.

    The super cup gets you what?

    let me reveal all:

    Super cup
    1. 3.5million euro dollars to the winner.
    2. a tin pot
    3. nothing else


    The league cup:
    1. prizemoney: shag all. 100k
    2. Gate money: conservatively the semif final and final clear a club 3-5million.
    3. a tin pot.
    4. most importantly qualification to europa league

    so.... If you are a CL club sure ok who gives a stuff after that (bad attitude) but theres WAY more moeny in playing league cup than there is playing the super cup.

    oh and the FA cup:
    Third Round Proper winners (32) £135,500
    Fourth Round Proper winners (16) £180,000
    Fifth Round Proper winners (8) £360,000
    Quarter-Final winners (4) £720,000
    Semi-Final winners (2) £1,800,000; Semi-Final losers (2) £900,000
    Final runners-up (1) £1,800,000
    Final winners (1) £3,600,000

    thats quite a bit of prize money there....

    you get a tin pot (a big one though)

    You get a europa league spot.

    We won more money than City, so winning the CL is literally worth more than all the other competitions put together

    I prefer the League Cup to the FA Cup because neither wins you any money worth thinking about but at least the League Cup isn't a Wembley mortgage repayment scheme

    welllllll... competing strongly in league and CL combeind = most money.

    2nd in league and more tv appearances = most TV money from prem
    Winning CL usually = most tv money there

    The CL prize money is massive
    As of 2018–19, the fixed amount of prize money paid to the clubs is as follows:[65]
    Preliminary qualifying round: €230,000
    First qualifying round: €280,000
    Second qualifying round: €380,000
    Third qualifying round: €480,000 (Only for clubs eliminated from the champions path, since clubs eliminated from the league path qualify directly for the UEFA Europa League group stage and therefore benefit from its distribution system.)
    Base fee for group stage: €15,250,000
    Group match victory: €2,700,000
    Group match draw: €900,000
    Round of 16: €9,500,000
    Quarter-finals: €10,500,000
    Semi-finals: €12,000,000
    Losing finalist: €15,000,000
    Winning the Final: €19,000,000

    This means that at best, a club can earn €82,450,000

    (wiki)

    compare this to europa league:
    Base fee for group stage: €2,920,000
    Group match victory: €570,000
    Group match draw: €190,000
    Group winners: €1,000,000
    Group runners-up: €500,000
    Round of 32: €500,000
    Round of 16: €1,100,000
    Quarter-finals: €1,500,000
    Semi-finals: €2,400,000
    Losing finalist: €4,500,000
    Winners: €8,500,000

    In effect its about 21million.


    If you are not in the CL you've no option.

    We all start off In league, League cup, FA cup.

    The league just by being in it gives you a shed load of money. each position is worth about 1.9mil.

    So playing 1 game and pocketing 2.5mil even if you lose (super cup) is dead handy
    Playing league cup for the gates and the europa spot.... kinda pointless unless you need europa. its an ego comp.
    Playing FA cup? you could pocket 8 or 9 mil there. worth it? probably if you are not going to end up 3 or 4 positions lower in league
    Europe is worth most of all after league

    thats just money, prestige is another matter entirely.
