      It’s funny

      On one hand you prob want to see lots of money being spent by the club to renew contracts and buy lots of top class players

      But on the other hand you want the club to not to be able to afford to do that

      Which is it you want ?


      Cheap tickets for lots of fans which in turn means reduced revenue to spend on contracts and top class players


      Or the club being in line with modern football and trying to bring in the revenue to be able afford the high wages and players



      Football has moved on from the 70/80’s - it took FSG coming into the club to actually start to drag the club into modern football


      And if you want to blame someone

      Blame - Sky , the Prem and of course the players who are looking for the big wages

      Why would you want to charge extortionate ticket prices to pay player wages or buy players when the club receives millions in revenue from networks & sponsors..?

      This why I told you guys yesterday that no way FSG is gonna let all 3 walk in 1 summer. It's not because they care about the dangers of not getting top4/winning the league, it is purely for financial reasons. If they let all 3 walk then they gonna have spend without selling, and they'd rather renew to Salah/VVD than net spend. Prepare yourselves for Salah/VVD renewal as new signings and with thing such as " LFC gave priority to contract renewals rather than dip in the market and make new signings"

      Because the revenue from networks and sponsers will never be enough as you can see by the accounts

      Why oh why do clubs build bigger stadiums to looks to increase their match day revenue 🙄

      How much do match day tickets & season ticket holders generate in a season..?

      Match day revenue is over £100mil as you are prob aware of in the accounts

      An increase of £20mil since the second extension was opened and overall £35-40mil since before the stadium was increased

      But I’m sure you are aware of that

      The good news though is the ST prices freezing again - which I’m sure you are also aware of

      It’s also good that we are very much low down on the list of most expensive tickets

      Think it’s about £60 now

      Where in my post did I say non locals were not welcome??? And why cant local people buy a ticket from the window anymore?

      You can skirt round my point all you want, but the atmosphere is sh*te. The next local generation is being lost and the current one is being priced out or cant walk up the road to buy a ticket.  Its full of daytrippers  and holidaymakers and people happy to pay 300 quid from a dodgy online site and sit on their hands in silence and wait to be entertained. Wasnt like that when I was a kid. But when I was a kid they didnt make local lifelong supporters jump through hoops to have any chance of getting in. Locals were welcome back then and the lifeblood of the club. These days all fsg care about is getting the ones in with the deepest pockets. Funny that considering theyve had a free lunch here for 15 years and made a mint without putting a cent in. Fcuking parasites.
      This is where you said locals were not welcome...BTW You didn't say non- locals....."odd moment here and there. They couldnt care less if we had 60000 green men in there ... as long as theyre not local, they come to spend here there and everywhere etc." Yes you're correct times do change and not always for the better....FSG is a business, they exist to generate profit...If the club is well run and the team successful, then they will make money, just like any other business.

      Is this the thread to discuss shaping the team for next season?

      The owners need to get the cheque book out and open the biscuit tin, what I'd like to see is the following;

      Jota, Diaz, Nunez, Tsimikas all out
      Isak, Delap, & Kerkez brought in (the latter with using Kelleher as a bargaining chip).

      A new right back as back up to Bradley (unless Gomez wants the role as he's very decent), and keep Robbo as backup to Kerkez, a new centre half just to add some strength in depth as we appear to be short in there just now.

      Our midfield is decent and I'd leave it as is, but with a ream that looks like this next season;

      Allison
      Bradley
      Konate
      Virgil
      Kerkez

      Szobozlai/Jones
      McCallister
      Gravenbirch/possible back up signing or Endo

      Salah
      Gakpo
      Isak

      Off the bench could come Delap, Danns (I really rate this guy), Elliot, Chiesa (I rate this guy too)

      This would give us a blend of experience, youth, speed, and certainly goals, and my pecker is already twitching at the thought!

      How much would it cost to put this team together with only 3 signings?

      It's a bit silly the amount of times the question of 'where the money is spent' is asked on here when the club accounts are available for anyone to view and shows the answer.

      TAW lads are correct as per usual. Midfield is the prime reason we lost both games.

      PSG and Newcastle had far too much energy and intensity for us, and when you lose midfield you are up against it. Joelinton won more tackles on Sunday than our midfield three combined.

      Mac and Grav, two 8s (or also a 10 in Mac's case), neither of whom are particularly athletic, and neither of their game is noted for their defensive work. Both of those players should be pushed up one into their natural positions, so Grav in the 8, Mac in the 10. Then an athletic 6 brought in. That's a balanced midfield.

      Its astonishing we have achieved what we have so far this season with the personnel in midfield we have, although it's caught us out big time over the past fortnight.

      We need a starting left back, and a starting #9, but the first player through the door should be a starting #6, or at least one who can rotate with Grav. Grav can do the role, but really when it's less intense, one that doesn't overpower his languid style, as no way can that midfield we have live with the like of PSG and their intensity and running power. We'd get rinsed again. We also struggled with a full strength Newcastle midfield as both games that included Joelinton we were second best in the middle.

      Endo is a good late option, but that's it. A 5th starting midfield option for the 3 spots, that's a healthy number for a whole season.

      You seem to be neglecting the fact we were the better side for most of the PSG game at Anfield and had we not Fk'd up with the goal ...we might well have gone through without the need for pens.

      Expecting 250mil net spent in the summer. And with savings on TAA and Salah contracts, thats basically 350mil+ net spent. Huge summer for Rich Hughes.

      I get what you’re saying in that we need to be profitable to be competitive etc but making comments like that about about socialism in general … Liverpool FC and its local fanbase is probably the most socialist in the country.

      We were on top for the first ten mins - over the full 120 mins we had less possession and fewer shots: three on target to their eight.

      We need a better goal scoring option up front. What the last two games showed is that it can’t all sit on Salahs shoulders. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if Jota, Diaz, and Nunez were all playing elsewhere next season
