They could have recovered, the problem is that they haven't. They have continued the pattern Benitez set in his last two years of identifying players who are having one or two good seasons and then massively overpaying for them. Keane, Johnson and Aquilani were followed by Carroll, Downing, Adam, Allen, Borini, Mignolet, Lovren, Lallana, Moreno and Balotelli, none of whom are good enough to be at a top four side, let alone one aspiring to the title.

And it's not so much the transfer fee as the wages. If you pay a big fee then you accept it, swallow the loss and move on. The problem comes with the wages - once Gerrard leaves then Balotelli and Johnson will be the highest earners at the club, despite being bench warmers at best.

It was a lot easier to keep salary demands down when the manager could point at Gerrard and say there's a club legend who has played hundreds of games, scored goals and won trophies, your salary will be set at a proportion of what he gets. Now the players can point at Balotelli and say if that lazy lump of **** gets £110k a week then I'm worth much more than that. That's the message the agents will be putting in Sterling and Henderson's ears every week Balotelli and Johnson steal their wages for doing **** all.

A lot of what you say is true...

The definitional point is our lack of CL football. Say we had wanted Felipe Luis in the summer. He would've cost us £10m more without even considering wages. Why? We don't have the leverage over the player that CL football provides because we've been in the cold too long now.

So we have to gamble. Problem is, everyone knows Liverpool have more money than most non-CL clubs. So we overpay. Plus there is undoubted incompetency at a transfer committee, chief executive and managerial level. We seem to lack ambition in the market. Always fighting fires too.
 
Rafa Benitez is such an overrated buffoon.

Liverpool's squad were full of absolute rubbish by the time he left.

He took Chelsea from title contenders to 3rd in the league and nowhere near the title, yet he gets praised because they won a competition against European also-rans where they were by far the strongest team in it.

He completely ruined an Inter Milan side that had won 5 straight league titles and just completed the treble.

He has taken Napoli backwards.

Yeah it's not been a great season for us so far but I'm still hoping for the FA Cup and that would turn a ****e season into a fantastic one. Long way to go yet though.

Keep dreaming. The way Brenda is going I can see Blackburn stuffing the RS.

Many on the RS board are already looking forward to Wembley. Won't it be great if the RS had egg on their faces for disrespecting Blackburn <ok>

I'm not disrespecting them I'm just as you say "dreaming". Anything can happen in a cup game and even if we do get through Villa are starting to play a bit.

That man uses his post match interviews for self promotion. Beating Newcastle at home was like beating a team wearing "flip flops on a sunny beach".

To then say that they are now back in the race for CL because of that incredible victory shows the extent of his delusion.

Oh yeah, he loves himself and certainly believes his own hype. How many other premier league managers are on talksport talking to Alan Brazil at least once a week?

Answer; none. Most are too busy doing their jobs instead of being slimey self promoting ****ers.

Can't stand the bloke.

This is all true. But if you've noticed TS wont say a bad word against him. He's clearly taken a leaf out of Arry Rednapp's book who did the same on TS and even now they defend his incompetence to the hilt.

Now it's the same with Rodgers. When they were ****e in the first half of the season they wouldnt even talk about Livpl or Rodgers. Two big losses, out of the CL race, what do we hear from TS....tumbleweed. He will come under NO criticism bcos they wont bite the hand that feeds them.
 
The only good thing on TS is listening to Mickey Quinn before then after a Liverpool loss.
 
Well done to the RS and to Brenda for:

Climbing to greater heights after a lucky 2nd

Buying world class players with £120m

Getting rid of your only class player in Stevie. Never mind keeping him like United did with scholes and giggs to bring new players in.

Doing better in the CL next season after ****ing up big time this

<applause>. <laugh>
