my point was about how football has been taken from the man on the street and ruined by greed.
when is it gonna stop?
what is the top player going to earn next season? £200,000 a week? if city pay someone that much then lfc are gonna have to pay torres more,gerrard more mascherano more or else they'll leave. our player will be banging on the manager door asking for pay rises before you can say i'm skint.
do you want lfc to end up like portsmouth and leeds?
Unfortunately!
I actually agree with Kopite on this point. Us fans want to see Liverpool competing for the top honours in the premier league, and europe. In order for us to do that we need top quality players, and becasue of who these players are they demand the mad money that they are on. There are only very few players that would show loyalty to a club even if they are on sh1t money and the club are not challenging for anything.
The current financial situation Liverpool FC find themselves in potentially could mean that our club will become the next Leeds and Portsmouth. Who's to say that possible investors or buyers could say, f*ck that I'm off, what happens then? The banks will come in and LFC will go down the tubes. They wound up Portsmouth for a fraction of our debt.
Are Liverpool FC to big to fail?
Kopite - good call - Football should go back to basics, cap on transfers price tags, cap on wages, and a proper distribution of monies throught the leagues.
Fifa, Uefa, and the FA have the power to stop this money spinning farce before it destroys football completely
