Its disgraceful what they're doing cuz its so blatant.

Usually a deal like Murdyk would be over say three years at 90 mill that's 30 mil a year. By brokering a deal over 10 years its cut to 9 mil a year. Did they think anyone was not gonna spot it.

IF they were subtle I might've given them a bit more respect but very happy the loophole is being closed

They were going into administration if they hadn't got Roman.

Eh? Liverpool built themselves up to where they are, we didn't get there from a stimulus package as we were about to go out of business due to not being able to pay the bills. The 2 clubs are not the same.

Even our recent title was won on a budget.

That's what I actually wrote. You must know I hate united more than any other team, but I'd still rather go back to pre-Roman days of united dominating with their money, because they earned every penny of it.

But these oil money teams are just on a different level. City don't sell out their ground at times and still rake in more sponsorship money than anyone else because of their honest guv, it's all above board sponsorship deals.

What Klopp has done these last 6 years is perhaps the most historic run in league history. Won every trophy in the game, 3 year run of 97/99 points, and all on a smaller budget than Brighton, but none of that would have happened without Barca injecting 142m into the team for Coutinho. Chelsea have spent more in 6 months than we have in the last 10 transfer windows combined, and they were going into administration before Roman came in, so if you want to compete at the top of the league, this is what you have to have behind you these days, and that's depressing.

I saw this coming a mile off and pointed out in 19 that this was all built on sand. I don't think we'll end up with oil money anyway. I wouldn't put it past FSG to screw us over with more Americans. If there is any chance in the world that LFC can screw this up, they absolutely will. Had the chance to get Dubai in 05/06 - which is the most sanitised version of mid east money possible (tourism), but we backed out and sold to owners who nearly put us into admin.

Point is, you were saying only the other day you didn't care who owned Liverpool as long as they pumped money into the club..

"half times beheadings in the centre circle" (i know you wasn't serious, but you must get my point)

And the game has changed since then, it's more a money business now than ever.

Hang a min, look all the other clubs involved in dodgy money. Look at the Arab money in football fgs.
