It could happen, but not under Rodgers. He thinks that Joe Allen is worth much more than the £15m we paid. That proves to me that hes not a good judge of player and won't be able to bring in the required quality within budget.

i remember we finished 7th with Houllier and Evans
then within a few years with rafa we were 2nd.
i dont think we are that far away, i believe that football is all about confidence and at the minute we dont have any. a good start and we could be up there (not champions, but up there) We need a winning mentality too to go with confidence. Look at the scum. They've just won the title again with what is probably their weakest team to have won it. Man for man they are no match for City and the chavs but they have that something extra that just gets them wins. We need to find new ways to win games, with better tactics. This 'tiki taka' stuff is pointless. We need to be quick and precise, but with the players we have now its difficult to do so. The thing is, everyone is talking about tiki-taka but we aren't playing tiki taka at all, far from it actually. We are playing pass and move, just like the old days.... We are not but we are trying to play Tiki Taka or like Barca. Proof, we have a very high possession, the team is usually up field, most of our players are light weight, we play 433, we build up our game with lots of patience allowing the opponents to park the bus, we have a weak defensive play conceeding a lot, all like Barca. However, we are not as successful as Barca because we do not have enough technical players who can make the difference in front of goals by quick small passes in a crowded defence and we do not have sharp strikers like Messi, Pedro, Iniesta, Xavi,to name a few, and we will never have such players in numbers.

When we finished 2nd a few seasons back our starting 11 (going off most appearances in positions) cost nearly £40mil less than this year; so it shows that you don't always have to spend HUGE money to get good players.
The only worry is whether BR goes for Swansea players and others he has worked with, or if he uses scouting network and tries for some unknowns to add to what we have.
Definitely agree with points we need better midfielders. Wasn't ever a fan of Henderson or Allen and Lucas isn't doing enough for me. But they could prove me wrong yet I guess...

If you fail to accept the fact that redevelopment I our only option because the financial reality is that we can't afford a new stadium at this stage, then you my friend are delusional. Also if you call shipping out Kuyt, Maxi, Spearing and such shipping out our best experienced players, instead of realizing they were well past their prime, then you my friend are delusional. If you fail to see how much the likes of Cole were eating away at our wage bill, then you my friend are delusional. If you fail to recognize that most of these players were replaced with younger more promising potential, who can only improve with time, you my friend are delusional.
If you further attempt to put down others, and refuse to accept reality, that Coutinho, Sturridge, Allen are better prospects and can offer more than Maxi, Kuyt and Cole could this season and next, at a lower cost, and refuse to accept that there are positives whilst attempting to belittle anyone who's opinion might differ, then you my friend are worse than said "delusional".
Marco, when you say we cannot afford a new stadium, who is we? Yes, LFC cannot afford right now, but, if we had Abramovich or Sheik Mansoor as owners, we would have been able to afford it through their investment isn't it? Regarding the players that were replaced, you are drawing a very small part of the picture to prove your point. Yes, Maxi, Kuyt Cole etc had passed their best, but should they have been replaced by under 21s, definitely no, they could have been replaced by proven more experienced players, but, of course they cost more. Both of those decisions were taken to on a cost basis because our owners cannot or do not want to afford, decisions were not taken on a 'to win trophies basis', this is what I do not like with FSG. Vish, but our reality is such that we do not have Sheikh owners, or Russian oil billionaires, so we do the best with what we have. The grass is always greener on the other side....

And you my friend just confirmed my comparison of your position to that of the accountant who knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing Oh trust me, I know the true values in life...and whether you like it or not, Sheikh owners and a new stadium are probably second last to a new set of headphones on my values list...obviously on your list these things are more important. But you already showed that with your belittling post, or attempt at it.

Vish brilliant analysis on your previous posts we have owners to quote an English phrase who are
"Trying to make a silk purse out of a sows ear"
Until that situation changes Liverpool, will always be in the second tier of the premiership too good to do badly not good enough to do well.

Don't think it's going to be like that in the long term though, Dortmund is a selling club, Gotze was just sold to Bayern, Kagawa was sold last year, Lewandowski will probably be sold soon, I won't even be surprised to see Klopp gone. I can bet though that Bayern (who spends big regularly) will be above Dortmund regularly and will keep on dominating German football and Madrid will be regularly stay among the best European teams unlike Dortmund in the future. Didn't we reach the CL finals twice, winning it once? What happened after that?
