I got some nookie from my wife as soon as the game ended, i guess she felt the need to console me. that would not have happened if i went to the game. Well, maybe, I dunno...ya think Stan got some lovin' from his man city friend?
Either way, i am glad I watched from the comfort of my sofa. It's a football forum. What else should it be?

Forgive me as I jump around a little Stan.
Nothing has changed in the last few years from a fans perspective. Bar city and Chelsea just about every other fan wishes they had different richer owners who will spend like drunken sailors forever and a day.
Television revenues will continue to be the main driving force going forward as more and more Asian and developing nations become richer and more can afford sat/cable packages.
I am not necessarily buying your American model either with the day out theme. To suggest that our ageing fan base is due to stadium facilities is ridiculous. City are champions that's what has attracted youngsters.
We are strengthening on a commercial level like never before but if the point is just to further line the pockets of players to galactic levels what is the point?
There are also a lot of areas you sweep conveniently to one side such as the Red Sox destroying the RM and Barcelona spending madness in the American model that you sight and Henry owns and also that FFP will and is ineffective. That remains to be seen in the coming years.
Further, I would also like you to suggest in the Liverpool area where there is such a suitable site available to house such a gigantic project because Stanley Park ain't it by a long way.
Speke or Aintree or perhaps the Bootle area on the disused docklands Stanley Park is better than the refurb especially if you put a train link in.

Or is it perhaps just an example of how cheaply you can be bought? What a moronic comment !It seems on here to want a future for the club and the next generation is a bad thing and anyone who wants this is a pariah. Our club has to move with the times anyone with any sense can see that. The title is head in the sand some dont even achieve that.

It all boils down to money which they have in abundance. If you can't see that then maybe you are the one with your head in the sand? No team in the world can do what they have done without spending the amount they have. We aren't competing with them anymore. They're in another level. One created by sheiks and Russian billionaires. However even Chelsea and psg cannot match city. They've spent money on the team. But just as much on the stadium training commercial etc.

How does that help your cause or the club? Why don't you try to get a consortium through your business plan to takeover from them? What exactly do you want to achieve by saying the same thing here again and again?

Vish this is not about personalities on koptalk that campus in Manchester is real it exists. I am not stating these comments to wind people up but point out the reality. Yes city have Arab backing but they are also building a self sustaining commercial powerhouse while we fiddle while Rome burns. I am a fan of Liverpool, FC it's not my personal responsibility to save the club. But I can have an opinion and most people I speak to in the real world agree Liverpool has to complete with the top if we are to be at the top. I suspect most on here are defending forum rivalries on koptalk rather than dispassionately examining what's right for the club. Look at Markos idiotic comment saying I am pointing this out because I had a nice meal at city what hope have we got with thought processes such as that ?

No one can compete with City. Not even Russian billionaire Abramovich can compete with what City have spent on the club. We cant just summon that type of investment out of thin air. Hell, even Manchester united after 20 odd years of Premier League dominance and relatively sound business management and the biggest stadium in the prem, all made on the back of that success, CANT compete with city. How do you expect Liverpool to after being very close to ADMINISTRATION less than 5 years ago!? Liverpool were never near trading administration that's compete nonsense it was simply g& h could not refinance the loan they had to buy the club something that's been said countless times but people either can't or don't want to understand it. City are hampered by financial fair play which limits the Arab muscle so they are building a turnover and fan base to match ours. It is perfectly possible to match city at this particularly as we are a bigger brand to start with. But the will is not there from our owners.

But saying the same [oops] on and on here is useless. We all know City owners are too wealthy and I even said that I would have preferred them as owners, but there is a reason they are City owners and not Liverpools

Vish I am not suggesting the benchmark is city but that Liverpool compete on an appropriate level to put the club at the top. I feel in saying this I am saying something bad.
