We got pertty unlucky with several players: Aquilani, Carroll, Keane, Downing, all these were big money signings that didn't do well at all. In fact, the only big signings for us that have panned out recently are Torres and Suarez.

The defining moment was when we spent our entire budget on diouf, diao and cheyrou. That summer literally destroyed everything that Houllier has built up in the past few seasons.

If we had bought well that summer, it might have brought us to the next level.

Sakho hasn't turned out bad. He's a bit of a beast.

I suppose he counts as big money. Hendo has been much better lately too, but it took awhile.

But you keep blaming FSG for not wnting to spend money...turns out, they've spent money. You might not tlike who they spent it on, but you cant deny they have spent. But then again, i can't tell you what kind of sandwich to buy with your money, so why do you think you can tell FSG what kind of player to buy?

3. Liverpool - £650 million

The club has tried in vein to recapture their former glory days and have not been shy in getting the cheque book out to win their first Premier League title. The Reds have recouped nearly half of that figure on sales but current boss Brendan Rodgers can only look on with envy with the finances available to previous managers.

Somewhat misleading to put it mildly.


Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.

At least we have gone through the pain and the wound starting to heal.

I'm made up that Man U are about to go through it all themselves.
