Are we a good investment? Yes and it's as simple as that.
We've got a club reaped in history and tradition, we've got a club managed by one of the best of his time, we've got some of the world's greatest players representing us week in week out and we've got us, the fans. The best in the world at what we do.
If somebody came to Anfield, bought us and handed Rafa a transfer kitty of a reasonable amount, allowed Rafa to deal with everything football then we would walk away with the title. Once we win that first League title, you'll see just how good an investment we are. Because once we get used to that habbit of winning major honours again, you'll see Anfield rocking on a match day like no other place in the world.
We almost had it in 08/09, the sound from the grounds - especially our away fans - was deafening. That's what we're capable of generating. And once that's sorted, the revenue from merchandise, whatever is recouped during match day and anything else will be rocketing. Every fan will be buying the "2010/11 Premiership winners" DVD, t-shirts, banners and anything else. And would do it with every single season. The revenue on that alone makes us a good investment.
Moreover, we're a sleeping giant. We're ready to explode on the scene, the wheels are well and truly in motion - although our current owners seem more intent on giving us square wheels making forward inroads much more difficult. We've got a youth set up ready and waiting to produce the next generation of quality, meaning huge transfer fees year on year won't be essential, we've got world class players like Reina signed up long term again making the need for many, expensive, transfers less likely.
We're as good an investment as you could find for anybody wanting to buy us.
The only stumbling block is that of 800 million pounds. You will recoup that at some point, but that's not the right figure given our current situation. We have the potential to be worth 800 mill, and then some probably, but right now, with the debt and that 800 million is far too much to be asking for. Even a quarter of that is pushing it.
But hopefully somebody will see the potential in Liverpool Football Club and be willing to part with their money, to help us realise that potential. And again, hopefully, the next owner of Liverpool Football Club will not be some two bob American c**t whose only interest is that on the debt he's left upon our club.
