KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Financial reality rears its dark head

New young fans outside UK will usually support teams winning trophies when they start to watch football.

Exactly kenny dalglish and Ian rush won't mean a thing to a 10 year old Chinese boy in fact they don't mean a thing to a ten year old British boy come to that.

Agreed i am 20 and Kenny and Rushie meant nothing to me when i started supporting, at that time it was the outgoing Steve Mac, Fowler, Owen a young Gerrard and Carra etc. You dont learn about the history of a club until your clear about the present, and right now our present isn't exactly fantastic is it

No

Well the way I see it Man utd, Chelsea, City have already been exploiting these markets to their max potential, whereas we have not. We are now starting to though, so whilst I believe their income from these markets will remain fairly constant, ours is on the rise..especially in China and India, but also of course in other emerging economies...

Marko your a supporter not an accountant mate think everyones getting a bit sick of this "numbers" conversation on every thread, even though this thread is about it lol

Well i hope your not an accountant, if you are im going to look pretty stupid

LOL nope, not an accountant, i am just trying to explain my optimism regarding FSG and LFC...I intentionally made this thread, so it could be discussed here rather than on other threads...hence the title "it's a numbers game".....

You got the threads mixed up but understandable mistake

Why would ours be on the rise relative to utd etc ?

Or do you mean relative to what we were in which case it might improve us but not enough. And how does the world wide recession fit into this ? My mate has a factory in china and he says they are really struggling. And although the country has 1.5 billion most are in severe poverty. In 20 years time that might change but Liverpool need money now.
