KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Crazy but why I dont fear relegation

Owners looking to maximise return minimum outlay on team maximum extraction of revenue from fans. £50 to watch a team of Liverpool’s calibre is taking the p!ss. I can cope with the team doing badly what I can’t cope with is being expected to pay as if the team was performing like man Utd.

You support of follow a team to do well to enjoy the experience and to win things.

David Moores said “Liverpool FC exists to win trophies it has no other purpose” what happened to that? We now effectively support a business model the aim of which is to make John Henry rich at the minimum financial risk to John Henry. Don’t know about you but I don’t support a business model, I support Liverpool FC. I also am disappointed in redeveloping Anfield which is the Asda option because Henry does not want to make the financial risk.

To be honest if we were relegated and Henry made a huge loss I would not be that bothered in fact in some ways I would be happy. Yes we would no longer be a top club but at least the club would be returned to the fans. What we have now is Harrods price but Asda quality and the model of FSG looks to keep that in place for all time.

I would prefer Asda price and Asda quality as the least worst option.

This all might seem strange but the model we have now is a sham and I would love us to be bought out by a mega oil baron or such like.

That is the only way forward for me other than that I would prefer us to return to our roots albeit loss in quality rather than this sham we have now.

Just because David Moores gave a media soundbite a long time ago to appease the fans, it doesn't mean it was true. It was intended as a romantic sentiment -not a business model.
Moores is one of the reasons why we're in our situation today so I wouldn't pay too much attention to him.

I disagree no one speaks out about moores than me he was incompetent and one of the reasons the club is where it is today. But he did care about the club no one can deny that. Henry I bet barely looks at the clubs results. He has not been over here since may of last year and Tom Werner is barely here either.

This is simply not acceptable

Good point. It's easy for everyone to have digs at the Sheik's, Abramovich, Venkys etc, but at least they care enough for you to see them at the games. Their absence really does strongly suggest that they're not here for the long haul and are treating us as just another business which they plan to pillage and sell on at a profit. That's fine, but they should be honest about it.

The problem is, we can't drop our prices or we'll have less money to spend on the top players that will one day make us great again.

Agree with that Car. I get sick of these idiots who slate owners who are branded as anything but supporters just because they don't come from football. As if a lot of the old school owners were any better.

Heard the cry a thousand times that as soon as Chelsea had one the CL Abromo would be off. Where is he? Oh still there and stuck in another £100 mill or so on top. City the same.

What's wrong with LFC having some mogul who happens to be a supporter from Asia or Arabia (we apparently have about 70 million of them out there) owning the club?

Be a damn sight better than this FSG come JP Morgan sh*te we have now.

Give me a rich mogul any day than what we have now an unrich mogul

Yip, a stinking rich billionaire would solve all our problems.

Our currents owners are simply trying to ake a killing.

FSG OUT???

Where do I sign..

It's not the worst thing to have absent owners (see Glazers for reference). But what we need if that's how they want to trun LFC is a top class CEO with a top class staff in Liverpool!

What we seemingly have now is a club that on a daily basis is being run by under qualified absent Americans AND under qualified present staff (Ayre et al) with no real influence and decision rights for important matters.
