And when did we fall behind United and the other big clubs in Europe?
For all your whining, FSG only took over in October 2010 but the club has been poorly managed in financial terms for decades. Perhaps if we had actually taken more care with the financial side of the game we'd be in a position where we could be buying the top players in the world to replace Souness et al (no pun intended).
Instead you want us to be fielding the top players whilst at the same time running the club like some sort of amateur socialist working team from the 70's.
You can't have it both ways.
1)Its YOU who's trying to have it both ways, not the fans.
You want Everton style investment, tickets 5x Madrid prices, and to milk the income of a former global football CLUB
2)I notice your brimming class hatred that could be penned from some preppy Bostonian.
For the record, wanting a club like Barce, Bayern, Real and all of Germany is NOT "socialism", as you sneer.
It is modern, decent and effective management of a FOOTBALL CLUB.
There I said it, CLUB NOT "BRAND"
3)Anfield was hemmed in by many houses when Moores was there.. (if u didnt know)
And thro the 80s it had a massive recession (before the global fan base or even national fan base had largely become adults). Add to that a massive Euro ban and a ban on terraces.
4)When your American heroes took over, we'd recently won a European Cup, and we were ranked by UEFA the number one side in Europe. Under your American heroes( both sets), we'd sold about TEN world class players, and bought then sold just ONE. Wages slashed, quality on the playing staff(and managerial) utterly decimated.
Yet ticket prices and income still roar up. The epitomy of having your cake and eating it.
Moores could have done what Henry is supposedly doing with adds on to the stadium IF he thought it was a decent option. He believed the lies of Rothschilds and Henry, that the Yanks would build a new ground. He thought that ambition, not Henry style leeching was the only option.
Now Henry isnt even guaranteeing the Anfield Rd will be done.
Either way, we were a MUCH better and much more successful FOOTBALL CL|UB when Moores sold us.
Your
employers oops heroes are nothing but confidence tricksters. By defending them you are insulting all Liverpool fans.
