Nobody is saying the ''club is a shambles'' comments have been made about the threadbare squad, quality not being replaced and missed targets, not hysterical reaction as you imply but statements of fact.
Really?
For the derisory figure of £4m LFC are hustled out of a deal by relegation material, doesn't make pleasant reading but hard facts seldom do.
Sums up the club at the moment.
Can't even sign a relatively cheap defensive option.
Shame we keep losing to relegation threatened teams.
Absolutely shambolic. What next, we offer Michael Johnson a "pay if you score five in one match" deal? These owners really are funny, trial? Bellends.
I f**king despair.
Irrespective of all the claims/counter-claims, press half-truths and patent bullshit the club has failed again in a cut price deal and beaten by a cut price outfit.

Music to the owner's ears, a myriad of excuses that keep the hand firmly in the pocket.
How much faith did Brendan have in the lad? For the player to be booked for a trial run somebody has shown a fair amount of interest.
But not necessarily serious interest. It could very well have been, "let's have a look and see" as opposed to, "I really want this player."
Was Brendan's enthusiasm dampened when another club took up the chase and showed willing to pay the £4m rumoured fee.
Maybe the player jumped at a concrete offer as opposed to the manager's enthusiasm "dampening." Again, if the manager really wants the player, he makes a bid (or has Ayre do it). Allen, Borini, Sahin, for example. The only one that didn't come off was Dempsey, and that's because of the owners not willing to pay for a 29-year-old.
By experience it seems that FSG capitulate when rival bids are forthcoming without any response whatever which seems to be the case here.
Not the best formulae to construct a title winning side I would have thought.
Again, maybe we didn't scout him enough to make a concrete bid but wanted to see him up close against our players before making a bid. £4 million is
NOT that cheap for a CB from a foreign league that isn't among the best in Europe (La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Premier League, Eredivise, etc.)
