KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The consequences now are the highest we have ever faced

Then the probability is this club is finshed as a top side?

In terms of our name never, however in the modern game that is not good enough, meaning yes our club is not a top side anymore, for now.

Lads dont despair.

It's a bad time but we aren't finished yet.

I would love Capello to take over, he wouldn't take any nonsense from players and I think we need that at the moment.

Stanley, I personaly dont think the Liverpool managers job is the top job it once was and in some ways I now think it's a poison chalice. I think whoever takes over will have to contend with never winning the league, almost certainly not finishing in the top four for the foreseeable future, owners who dont understand football and will just look at the money side of things in a black and white manner, working under a director of football, weight of history constantly on your back and a unrerealistic, militant fan base who turn on managers at the drop of a hat if they have a poor run of games, singing for ex players to take over like the geordies with Keegan at Newcastle or even worse failed ex managers like Benitez.

I personally believe that it's very elementary to think that Liverpool as a club will remain mid table or and that its a finished product. This is far from that and does not make Ny economic sense!!! The fact is that the owner certainly want some good level of return on their investment! That is they will want to be adequately rewarded in line with their capital outlay. They certainly have certain projections because they are good business people. However if Liverpool cannot guarantee an acceptable level of return for the owners then they will quickly harvest the club. At the moment the club is neither a star nor a cash cow. It is hovering around the status of a question mark. It's therefore difficult to predict the next or immediate future of he owners. Will they be bearish or bull???? The only determination will be the projections of future cash flow which is absolutely related to performance. My view is that the current owners saw a great opportunity to make great investment returns considering the purchase price of the club. They immediately pumped great sums of money into their investment in order to quickly turn around the club and sell a part of minority percentage of equity which will be more than 50% of the purchasing price of the club. By so doing they would still have majority shareholding and still have 50% of the purchase price in their bank account. This has failed!!! If their financial models predict a bleak water fall, then as good business people they will do the sound thing of selling the club immediately to avoid further losses. Something tells me that they will make drastic changes this summer in terms if the technical team and restore some pride next season and sell the club for a marginal return. All is not lost because in all probability the next owners will not come in for maximum returns given the state of the club. We might get a owner who is prepared to pump in money simply for the love of the club. My two cents!!!!

as far as i know they havent sold the red sox and have been there for about 4 or 5 years now. maybe longer.

Can you compare the two in terms of cash flow and outlays??? Pse don't make comments for the sake of scribbling something. Put down your economic thoughts!!!

so you want me to trawl over the red sox and liverpool's csh flows and outlays before i post?

are you seriously telling me what i can and cant post? did i miss something?
