That comparison to Forrest could turn out to be true... I hate to admit it but plenty of clubs like that, Villa another have been on a demise for long periods.. Only to never return to the top.
The thing is, We missed the boat through miss management for the last 25 years or thereabouts. We are way behind now and unless a bloody miracle happens its history and thats it.
I hated typing that but it could turn out in 10 years to be true.. Much truth in that sadly, and FSG appear to be depending on a "bloody miracle" with their recruitment policy also. We all better pray that Brendan Rodgers is the messiah or it could very well happen.

Well considering we're out spending those above us bar Chelsea and City you'd hope with the right transfers we'd (sometime in the near future) be up there in the top four.

We WERE outspending some of our competitors the season we bought Carroll, Adam, Downing and Henderson for ridiculous money.
At the moment we are far behind the top 4 contenders! Just look at bloody Newcastle for example - with five (5!) new players coming in last January!
Suddenly even Arsenal started spending when they got Cazorla, Monreal, Giroud and Podolski. All proven experienced players.
Spuds got Lloris, Holtby, Dempsey, Sigurdsson and Vertonghen.
Chelski got Hazard, Oscar, Marin and Ba.

And what did we get? Allen, Borini, Assaidi then Coutinho and Sturridge...
Signing players alone solves one of the issues. Our club has deep seated issue's which have been ongoing for decades.
The trouble is now we have fallen from grace so far that a "new" stadium is hardly a viable option in reality. We wouldnt be able to sustain the repayments whilst making investments in playing staff..
Yeah so the extra £40m or so it would generate would be good but that would all basically be going to payback the Stadium. So whats the point in the short term?
We need to be in that top 4 by 2015 if not it's not happening again.. Mark my words we have 2 seasons to sort this out the marketing deals will NOT go on forever!

For just this season we have Spent: £59,488,000 Sold: £9,196,000 Net: £50,292,000 Only Chelsea and United have outspent us this season.

he didn't really rip into the fans. he's a london boy who never connected to our club. so what? sure, he says we're not a big club but who cares what he thinks? he did absolutely nothing for us the entire time he was here other than panting and putting his hands on his hips like a pregnant woman after being out there for 20 minutes. he's the most out of shape player i've ever seen play for us. when west ham come to anfield agger may give him an elbow to the face like torres received

Must be forgetting about the 10 million in wages plus the 6 million reported signing fee he has received in his time at LFC, that is why he joined us and not Spurs.
