No but I am very very angry that the club is not investing any money on transfers, they don't even have Ā£30m to sign a top top midfielder, it will cost us this season, I guarantee you.
In all seriousness where the f**k has all the money we have earned gone, I thought we posted record profits earlier this year, this is the second summer with no spending, ok weird times but other clubs are doing some business, why aren't we?
When did the club say āthey donāt have Ā£30milā
And how will not getting Thiago ācost usā
I suspect a number of people have told you the current conditions of the finances but Iāll try as well
We posted a total of Ā£40mil profits before tax
The club earned an extra Ā£25mil this year from the Premier League , but lost around Ā£20mil CL money
Since March the club have lost around Ā£40mil in revenues because of the lockdown, and will lose further income
There will be money in the club for the manager to spend - when they find players that are financially viable to the club
We have a squad of
3 GKās
4 fullbacks
3CBās
8 centre mids
7 forwards
Thatās a squad of 25 plus the youth players
We are potentially short at CB and I suspect thatās an area the club are looking at
If a player does leave that will leave a spot open and the club may well dip into the market again
We have a settled outstanding team that has won the big trophies, a manager who likes to work with a small personal squad
Other clubs will be spending - loans , owners money and adding some level of debt on the club plus teams like Leeds taking a risk on future income.
We are a club that is self sustaining , we spend what we earn , and itās also spent sensibly on the right players , if the last 5 years havenāt shown some fans that the club knows what it is doing then nothing will
Far too many and yourself included think this is some sort of game or that the sport doesnāt have financial issues
I suspect without Covid losses then Werner might be a Liverpool player right now but I donāt ever expect too many signings when itās clear the club have done a lot of work creating one of the best teams in Europe - maybe some should give the team a touch more credit and not write them off before a ball has been kicked.
