KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Pepe Reina: Liverpool are getting better and better

Can I ask why you think it was unexpected that Liverpool would release a press release about their losses? They were substantial but Ayre came across as saying that it was a once off due to exceptional payments etc and that this year will be very different.

Were you expecting it Maxi?

A press release? I wasn't expecting it but I don't see any reason not to do one. I don't know if it's different in England but accounts have to be filed 9 months after the year end which would roughly coincide with the timing of the release

Did they do a release this time last year, or the year before?

When a company reports losses, the next sensible step is usually to reduce costs where possible, not increase them.

I don't know? Did they? What is the issue though with it?

Try telling that to Maxi though!

you still haven't answered why a press release was unexpected?

Not that it's relevant to the point I was making, but if you can confirm half a dozen people who were expecting that release I will then admit it was expected, will that suffice Maxi?

P.S. and anyway, since when did you become such a cranky old devil?

It seems to me like you are reading way too much into a press release 3 months away from the opening of the transfer window and seeing conspiracies about transfers where there doesn't seem to be anything more to this than the release of not great financial accounts.
