Dokko Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Liverpool do bring in more money but not to the proportions they spend more than us, not even close. They beat us 6-0 on our own patch with Downing and Henderson in the team, the latter scoring twice. Yet certain people on here think they're the mugs and we're the dead clever ones. Absolutely embarrassing. Who is saying we are dead clever? I think most people see the positives in our dealings as well as the pitfalls, right now those pitfalls are unfortunately shining through, in Jan it was very different. Liverpool are mugs for what they spent and brought in, or are they mugs to let Downing go for £6m now since he played in a match they won 6-0? It's one or the other. This is basically all anyone has ever claimed. I've never said our approach is the only one, I just see the positives in it. Certainly beats spunking money on the shite players we used to buy. Yep. It seems the Remy injury has tipped a few over the edge today, proper panic mode has set in...just pay whatever and buy whatever that's all that matters...spend spend spend. Like a bunch of women in a shoe shop. Oooh sparkly, two sizes too small but i've got to have them, now all i need is to buy everything else to match them. What the fuck are you on about man? We nearly got relegated and yet haven't bought a single player. How does it matter to you in the slightest whether a player costs £7m or £10m? Either is peanuts to a Premier League club in 2013. Are you not getting the part that we have a strict budget and won't go over it especially when the club owes Ashley £130m already thanks to the fat retard doing exactly what you want right now? Or do you want us to be more in debt to Ashley? Or blow budgets for the next few windows? Do you operate like that in your life? Just buy houses you can't afford, cars and insurance way above your pay? Nice living for about a year until reality kicks in. Transfers were moved forward in jan, we've spent a fair chunk of this windows money then and now we are looking to squeeze out the best deals and time is running out. That's why I care because come the next window and we need X player in X position we have fuck all money to do it with. Ashley isn't going to change, living within a budget is here to stay until he's gone, so blowing money is exactly the wrong thing to do under him as we will pay for it later. Even adding more debt to him lessens the chances we'll see him gone any time soon. Finally, the club hasn't done enough this season, but it could have all been sorted sacking the manager and bringing in a new face, most of our problems would have been solved right then rather than just buying more players for him to fuck up. Why would we be in more debt to Ashley? We've just been given a vast windfall by Sky and BT. Do I operate like that in my life? Spending absolutely nothing despite just being given a vast pay rise? No. That would be fucking stupid. We don't get it until the end of the season (this is what i've read btw) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 We'll sign players in january again. It could be too little too late this time. The biggest difference this season for me is Joe Kinnear. The man is a ticking time bomb and there will always be doubts and rumours over Pardew throughout the season. If Pardew goes and Kinnear comes in mid-season we're going to be in massive trouble and will probably drop like stone down the league table, that's if we're even high to begin with. As Wullie said we nearly went down last season and we've bought no one of note. I'm seriously worried about relegation this season. The whole Joe Kinnear mess is shades of the relegation season's mistakes and not spending properly this summer (so far) is the same mistake that happened just a year ago. The only thing that will keep us away from the relegation scrap this year is individual performances, and we've seen from last season that our current lot can go missing when it matters. It could well be but they always do business in january...its not so much of a risk this time as there is no european games to play. The have brought in a cheap replacement to bolster the forward line...they'll see it through to January and grab some players with run down contracts where the French club is desperate to get some money back in. Suppose a sensible way to look at it is... which French players or those hwo play in France, whose contracts are coming to an end? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Just because you keep saying something doesn't make it true. The club generates massive amounts of money and certain people saying who keep saying we have a tight budget just look utterly preposterous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 According to Forbes, we're the 20th richest club in the world. The spending caps and tightness from Ashley isn't justified. We're getting shit loads of money from TV deals as well, other clubs are spending it, we're not, lets see where we finish compared to them given that most already finished above us last year.

Absolutely embarrassing. Downing and Henderson playing is kind of irrelevant... does that make them good signings? FWIW I don't believe what you've ascribed to me there, if you meant me. If Liverpool think they can afford to risk £30m flops then that's fair enough, I'll laugh at the individual signings but they're entitled to whatever strategy they can support. I think they're good players like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I know we are due some money, but we also have a lot of ongoing debt. Yes, it's to Mike Ashley now but that's only because he cleared our unsustainable debt position when he arrived. We could not go on losing £30m a season with the credit situation tightening, I don't know how anyone can argue otherwise. The only clubs that can are the ones where the owner has the ability and desire to shoulder infinite debt. (Obviously this is where the 'it's his own fault for buying us' argument fits in) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 If you buy a £50m player, your accounts will show exactly the same profit because they go onto the accounts as an asset, so I don't know why the fuck you're posting profits for or what that's meant to prove.
