difference is then the club was costing him money, a lot of it. Now its making him money and going to make even more in the near future. Thats assuming the club was actually put up for sale in reality instead of being "for sale" until things blew over

even that won't work unless the club is relegated tv deal is too big now. I wish them luck but I'm struggling to see a way where he goes, why the hell would he with an already massive tv deal somehow going up and so many shit teams its actually kinda hard to get relegated as demonstrated by this club this season and last.

Nobody seems to bring this part of it up. the way rodgers goes on you'd swear Liverpool are doing him the massive favour and without his expert guidance he would be playing sunday league football or something.

as it is he's been Liverpools best player this season so why shouldn't his pay packet reflect this?

sounds probable to me

are sunderland the only prem club (who were there last season) to manage to increase losses despite the tv deal?

Gameweek 31 Arsenal 2 v 1 Liverpool Everton 1 v 2 Southampton Leicester 1 v 1 West Ham Man Utd 3 v 0 Aston Villa Swansea 2 v 1 Hull West Brom 2 v 0 QPR Chelsea 3 v 0 Stoke Burnley 1 v 2 Spurs Sunderland 2 v 0 Newcastle Crystal Palace 1 v 2 Man City Aston Villa 2 v 1 QPR

can't say I'm that enthusiastic about the idea, as a one off it might be interesting but if it became a thing which inevitably would lead to "analysis" of the team talk instead of whats happening on the fucking pitch I can easily imagine getting very annoyed very quickly with it and punditry in general is poor enough as it is on that front.

be a bit weird to go somewhere else when we're almost certain to sell krul sooner or later and that could be a ticket to first team football.

I'd feel for them but if theres any club where karma owes them a good smackdown it is rangers so fuck em.

its the carver thing I'd worry about, a halfway competent manager and regardless of spend we won't be in relegation trouble by the sheer number of diabolical teams in the league (football continues to impress me in its ability to be incompetent given increases in money should make teams better not miles worse)

What will it have inside? iou £20m love ashley

not a hope in hell the prem clubs will agree to it.

not sure he was that much in favour tbh, I don't think he's injured atm and he's barely played this season

also this is worth noting and the agents of mediocre english players rejoiced as their clients just got a significant boost in transfer value

he's putting his faith in a system as blatantly incompetent and incomprehensible as the FIFA rankings............I look forward to the first club saying screw this and taking the fa to court should be amusing. Also kinda pointless unless he invents a way around EU law It's only for those outside the EU like. while the vast majority of non english players have eu passports. This kind of thing I do rather despise as its pretending to do something that will help the england team get back on track and win the world cup (it won't) while actively not addressing the actual problems (lets say just how much the fa charge for those uefa coaching badges, fine for a professional club to foot the bill, grassroots not so much)

the primary point I'd have in favour of Janmaat is while yes Debuchy at his absolute best probably was a bit better Janmaat is a hell of a lot more consistent. When Debuchy was good he was great, when he was bad he was horrendous though.

didn't this new guy have trouble with tax in south africa?

basically this, besides who knows he may find some consistent form. Not much point in getting rid of the likes of Sammy and Dummett atm People can't complain when we play them and they play like they do then really. Only way to improve even if we buy from the bargain bin is to remove the deadwood who won't make it as top players. there is also a need for a squad beneath the first team, in an ideal world sure the guys behind will be just as or nearly as good as the first team but even competently run clubs find that difficult never mind ashleys newcastle united and I'd sooner give a real go to homegrown guys than the kind of bargain basement crap we'd reach for to replace them (if they even bother)

I really don't give a shit about whats spent on the players if a) they're good enough b) the squad is fit for purpose. A has recently more often than not fine b has never been up to par.

wut? out of the cbs he is by far the most likely to ever find a buyer either from a championship club or newly promoted prem club looking for an experienced head to borrow the cliche and most likely not that highly paid. Compare to Colo-highly paid and on major decline and Saylor who can't stay fit.

cb is the main problem area but the only one who's in anyway likely to find a buyer is Williamson and even then I have my doubts, no one will touch Colo or Taylor. Fully expect the same issues again next season with a squad that is nowhere near fit for purpose, either talented guys who are only here as a stepping stone and will want out asap or guys not good enough to play regularly in the premier league. Good luck to whomever is going to be the new manager/coach/stooge he's going to fucking need it.
