And if you think we are debt free think again it’s just been transferred to Boston head office but it’s there and will be used to measure a return for FSG in terms of cost of capital. There’s lot of myths about the debt by people who don’t really understand finance I have tried many times to explain but like talking to a hedgehog. And am glad we have professional people in from the MD to the tea lady looking forward to that. Hopefully the club might move forward so we are only 15 years behind Man Utd rather than 25 years. And as for the tea lady well that’s well overdue! Over tried to buy a cup of tea of coffee at Anfield they are so dopy behind those counters it’s not true.


get down the baltic fleet son, some crackin' home brew in there. We will just have to see about debt and investment.

the pies in anfield are nuclear, I bought one for the swansea game and ate it at the chelsea game, still warm!

How much of that money have the club made back? Maybe 70 million.

We should make it clear that FSG have not invested 114million.

A club like Liverpool should make some sort of money each year, shall we say 20million (at least)? I think it is widely accepted that we have also reduced the wage bill.

So out of that 114 million deduct 70million (from incoming transfer fees), deduct 20 million (from what the club would make anyway?).

That gives us 24million. Shall we say 30 million (as i am not 100% on the figures).

So 30 million and that does not account for the reduction in wage bill.

Have FSG really invested that much? The day Hodgson left did we think if we spent a net of 30million we would be in the top four???

I think this is going to be a long summer full of links to somewhere in the region of 50 players so start counting them if you like. It might distract you a little Stan.

I hear what you are saying and I hope that for several players that they return next season on the end of a rocket from Dalglish to perform in a manner befitting of the money we invested in their transfer fees and wages.

The next two years is now going to decide how we move on long term. Who will replace Dalglish, who will replace Gerrard. The thing is there is one constant and that is the fans. They will still turn up in numbers whether there is a recession or not and shirts will still be bought for kids the world over so revenue wise not much will change. And even if it did there is no cast iron guarantee that a massive cash injection would bring top 4, European success or the Prem title.

There is an element of becoming a zombie club that rings true in what you say. Not beating the likes of Stoke, Fulham, WBA, Norwich, Blackburn, Wigan, QPR or not winning more than two on the trot in the Prem, its the same old story again and putting a stop to that needs to be addressed.

Whatever we do we must play 2 up front every week and absolutely batter a few teams so that those players previously with mid table sides wake up and understand what it is to win. We need to get that mentality back and accept nothing less. Might be a bit too Gung-Ho for some but look at Newcastle. It hasn't done them any harm has it?

Agree with a lot of that - there is a contradictioin in the way lfc play under KD Often its a keep the ball pass it about as much as possible in front of the opposition defence, which is understandable as KD is trying to have pass and move football but at the same time there is a strange negataive team set up, where no one takes risks going forward - i am not so sure how much this is lack of confidence from say henderson and downing and how much its the desire to keep the ball at all costs. I n nay case the good teams have lfc well sussed at anfield which is reflected in the scorelines at anfield this season

Kenny won't need to be paid off - he has said many times that he would walk away if asked. Besides, if it costs £6m to pay him off and £6m to bring in some one else, that would be a much wiser investment than letting kenny loose with the cheque book again.
Forget a new striker or right winger for the time being, the most important signing we can make is that of a new manager. Good players come and go but we need a manager that we plan a future with/for.
