http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Park,_Liverpool

Take a look at what it says, who it was named after.

Check out who Stanley Park is named after....so much for wikipedia.

I have since edited it back to the truth so as to not mess with the good folk who view wikipedia as the holy grail.

(Players are working capital) After all the junvenile squabbling that was the point and no one has answered it. We either need new owners or falling that a partnership with Henry from external sources. We need this urgently before Liverpool FC make the biggest mistake in their history.


FSG has invested about 100m in the club in addition to spending about 300m in acquiring LFC. I would have preferred a Sheik Mansoor who has a lot of money to throw away, as you said, football is not a good investment except for a few clubs like United (they made an EBITDA of 130m and profits of 28m last year) and probably Arsenal. However, there were no Sheik Mansoors showing up when the club was twice put for sale recently, if ever you didn't notice. That said, I am convinced that LFC will be able to compete for trophies with the best clubs through FSG's business plan and we will be a top 4 club. Even external resources would wish to stick to that plan unless they just want to throw away money.

Dont that have a name like jumping on a bandwagon ?
I choose who i supported from tradition and growing up with my dad and going to the games ! there were more successful teams at the the time but that was not my concern in who i followed dont know how you came to support lfc but for me it was the tradition and comradeship the whole day of anticipation of going to our mecca etc


in the global sense, Liverpool to grow its fanbase needs to have success. I was born in 1988 so haven't seen much success bar in knockout comps but it was who all my family support so was drawn to it that way. I didn't think "Anfield is a great stadium, I'll support them". Thats nonsense really and I'm not sure if even Stan believes that one

Vish John Henry has invested in the equity to stabilise the club but it's small beer and he has not risked it just transferred a sum in the groups accounts. Investment in players is normal trading not equity

Look marko we could hurl insults all day long me included but the original post is about the long term future of the club nothing is more important than that. So I suggest we both stick to the subject matter

Actually, you did hurl insults at me for pointing out that anyone can edit your trustworthy Wikipedia. Also, i have pointed out i disagree with you on the direction the club should take.
