Do you think that we didn't underachieve last season? League tables are never wrong at the end of the season but I believe that our new manager is well capable to do better with the current squad as it stands than Kenny and so I believe that improvement is inevitable.
I also don't think that Newcastle and Everton are more attractive propositions than us by any stretch of the imagination which I believe was your initial point

No, we were awful last season, actually beyond awful...abysmal! I really hope Rodgers gets the team ticking, and isn't afraid to call a spade a spade. But your right, what would make us finish above them? I think we need wingers and midfielders, but I guess that's the easy answer. I hope that if Rodgers can get the team playing like he wants, then we will be up there.

The reasons he has given for choosing Spurs are exactly the same reasons he WOULD of given IF he would of chosen us-
Club with great ambition and desire.
World class players etc etc
Are you sure?? I'd say spurs have more world class/top class players than we do. And as for ambition - I don't see any ambition whatsoever coming from within the walls of anfield. Our new owners have spent very little and we can;t even sort out a new ground - how long has that been dragging on!?! Simply saying 'we want to be the best' is NOT ambition - it's what you do that matters. Agree with you.Ambition is money,would man city or chelsea have won the league on astute signing??I very much doubt it.As for not being able to attract top players thats rubbish,look at who man city can attract because of their money,nowadays its got nothing to do with clubs history its all about the money offered im afraid.

Who won the French league, who won the German league? Two teams that have shown that with he right manager and some smart buys, you can win the league. Don't get me wrong, money will help, it isn't always the only answer though, but it is needed for us because we obviously need a couple of smart buys.

Some people need to get real. Just because we're Liverpool supporters and love our great club does NOT mean that everyone else does, especially not foreign players born long after Liverpool's glory days. Why do you think we've over spent on British players recently? It's because the clubs status and history only matter within Britain. Nobody else could care less. We're still one of the most popular clubs in the world. In the top ten richest clubs in the world from income, and that's from our dated stadium etc. Do you seriously think that companies like Standard Chartered and Warrior are going to invest the amount that they have on a club that can't get their name out there? Liverpool is still a massive club globally and is still drawing fans in, I mean how many kids do you see walking around wearing Liverpool shirts? That's not just in Briton, I'm not from Briton and there are lots of fans down here, just like there are elsewhere. We're not just making money from sky, it's from merch sales too and that's globally. I agree that Liverpool is obviously still a great global brand and is fortunate enough to still be widely supported across the globe but that will not affect a player's decision to join the club over others offering Champion's League football and/or more money. You don't see the Ronaldos/Messis/Hazards etc of this world lining up to sign for the club because of its glorious history.

But the french and german league's aren't anywhere near as rich as the EPL - abroad there is less wealth and it is shared more equally so there is a smaller financial gap between the top 4 and the next 4 which is why there a smaller club can throw up surprises.

I agree, what I mean is that there will still be lots of good players out there willing to join us, because they probably like us as a club with an field and some of the players we have, with our expectations and all. And there aren't many team that the likes of Ranaldo or Messi would sign for. I mean take Dortmond, they are a perfect example of a manager having a system and buying smart players to meet his needs. There is nothing stopping us from doing the same.
