KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The way forward

I think he just kept that post from the year Shergar took us to 2nd.
This is our second one and only chance in the last few seasons.

With the significant addition of corporate seats, importance of TV money, our worldwide brand and Klopp, we will be at least in the top 4 consistently. If only the oil prices remained low, then both City and Chelsea will be behind. I am sure of this.

Same shitte, different year. Gets fukking boring.

nope honestly not me saying its the L post code scheme on the Liverpool site, seems a good idea but might be worth extending it...

Like someone earlier mentioned I think the real test for a Club is when they are competing in Europe aswell as the League, Leicester have shown smaller clubs can reach the top without Europe so this needs to be our aim however I honestly believe if we ever did win the League we would struggle like Leicester have this season as we can't compete with the big boys and Europe too. I really don't think FSG will ever budget to win major trophies, if they manage success then they will take it all day but putting there hands in there pocket to get it is an entirely different matter. This season is Liverpool's only real chance of League success as you won't get another season when the big clubs City, United and Chelsea all have brand new managers at the same time and need time to settle, no Europe too, for me the one and only chance as them clubs will all be stronger and better next season...

Yes I agree, Klopp is obviously a very good manager and will get the best out of whatever he has available, and that should see us challenging in this season without midweek competition. However imo he'll need a stronger squad and less problems in defence if we play in Europe next season.
As for maximising our full potential, I agree we can't do that under FSG constraints, including their propensity for selling off their best performers. We're more likely to be consistent catch up strugglers than consummate top dogs, unfortunately.

We always sold our best players who wanted to leave, nothing new under FSG, the examples I remember are Keagan, Rush, Owen, Mc Manaman. And which constrains are you talking about, they we always at the club, in fact, our most expensive purchases were under FSG. We do not need to have a huge squad while we are out of Europe with top players warming the bench, look at Sturridge, do you think he is happy not playing regularly? Do you think we should have bought Pogba for the money which Manure paid? Klopp had money to spend but decided not to, he knows what he is doing. You seem to moan just for the sake of it.

I think I have said before the best method on these things is to look at the way football has worked. When I first started watching the Clubs called the shots and players were lucky to play for there clubs, it's the other way around now with players calling the shots and Clubs lucky to employ players. There is no way Shanks, Paisley and Jock Stein etc would of put up with players dictating to clubs like the modern ones do today, This brings me on to my point players and managers are different now, players move clubs for the good of there careers and financial benefit and managers treat Clubs like that too. A manager and player will always monoevere his career to play or manage one of the super clubs if he is good enough managers who what I would call in the second tier with massive potential but not achieved real success yet like Diego Simeone, Klopp, Koeman and Pochettino look set for good things and if they continue to improve will aim for a super club like City, Chelsea, United, Bayern, Real Madrid or Barca but they will all have to move Clubs to achieve greatness. Similar with players, they want to end up at one of the super clubs too if they manage to keep improving and progressing, I think people who don't believe this is how football works is being quite nieve or won't admit it, there odd exceptions but far and few between especially when managers and players don't have any real connection or ties with the club...
