KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum On the current path for how long will our appeal last

Been shyte for too long now, and everyone is generally p1ssed off and tired of LFC complete with all of its false dawns.

That says it all and if it's evident to us it will be in the far east too more so I would think. As for it all being due to the rain get real Liverpool FC has been in decline for decades and thr current owners have done nothing to address this and compete with our rivals. I have accepted it now not worth getting worked up about if the people who own liverpool don't care why should I care ?

Of course it was the rain. There's no other sensible explanation!

Looks like the penny has finally dropped, even with the most pro and apologetic FSG fans, but that's little consolation. I keep thinking about Leeds these days. We need new and ambitious owners willing to compete accross all areas of the business. If that doesn't happen in the short term then a Leeds is not out of the question, by any means.

Let's simply just not jump to any conclusions yet, and see what exactly happens THIS coming season ey, sigh.

Trouble is, I felt a bit like this this time last year, you know, hoping and imagining we could crack on from the awesome season we'd just witnessed., only to realise within just a couple of months that we HAD in fact been virtually a one man team.
I could piggin' weep thinking about that still.

Hey ho, let's just wait and see ey. <cough>

Yeah, I think most of us were hoping to use the Suarez achievement (2nd & top 4) and the subsequent windfall from his sale to kick on, sign a couple of top quality players, and seek to consolidate our position at the top, but we didn’t reckon on FSG and their moneyball policy.
As you say Growls, with obvious reservations, all we can do is wait and see, but all I can see is an appalling vista, with the fate of Leeds hanging like the sword of damocles on the ever approaching horizon.

Nah. We have to write the season off before it's even August! It's what we do. There is no hope. Our signings are all crap. FSG won't spend anymore money. Blah fukking blah! The world is going to end!

Unless we sign some immense players before the start of the season it's a very reasonable assumption we will safely finish outside the top four. Of course I will be hoping otherwise and be supporting my team but then so will Southampton and Tottenham fans there is nothing special about us anymore. Whereas at I time we were nailed on to win the title never mind top four. I have said this for years on this forum ignoring reality does not do us any favours as a club the results of that are clear to see.

I would say the fan base is dropping as we speak, I mean there is nothing to look forward to. We have a rusty stadium, and some would say that doesn't matter but sorry it does, I would rather play in the Nou Camp or Bernabau ahead of this rusty stadium in a very old neighbourhood.

The other big worrying factor is every time we find a gem in a player and turn him into world class (Suarez, Xabi, Torres etc) we sell them for profit instead of adding a second world class player to seal the premier league title. I know players pick and choose as well, but the club just doesn't pay enough to convince players.

We are simply not good enough any more, and I know football has its cycles but I don't think we will ever match the top teams in any way off or on the field. We are no different to a mid table team who sells their best players for large margins to make profits. The interest is dwindling and I fear it will not get better any time soon.

I don't know whether our fan base is in decline or not, but these comparisons with Leeds are ridiculous. We and Leeds have never been on the same planet and never will. We have 18 titles. That's 15 more than Leeds. We have 7 cups, 6 more than Leeds. 8 league cups, 7 more than Leeds. There's also the small matter of 5 European cups,(that's 5 more than Leeds by the way) so could you stop these comparisons ffs?
