KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Looks like we are moving in the right direction

Nice books as you call it means financial stability and I don't want us to become Leeds who spent big reaching the champions league and then we know what happened. United on the other hand was probably the most well managed football enterprise for 30 years and they still have the highest revenues despite not being so great in the last few years, it's called resilience which is built over time.

Shareholders to be fond of Football or not is secondary, we have passed the time when clubs were owned by the local millionaire. The owner of City is the UAE, how many times have you seen the ruler of the UAE at their stadium, same goes with the United owners. Times have changed and so has football, if ever you didn't notice.

Not sure what you mean by, they are crap at football, but I agree they are not very good at playing soccer.

They are Shareholders, they don't run the club, this is how most big companies work which big football clubs are now. It's the same with City, Arsenal and United, I don't even know who Spurs shareholders are. Football has moved on, we are not in the sixties anymore.

In the sixties the owners were very often the local millionaire fan who loved football but didn't know how a global entertainment business worked

I think the point he’s making is that you don’t have to have any specialist knowledge to be a shareholder. I could buy shares in Microsoft or Apple, yet I have no idea how a computer works, but it doesn’t matter because the company hires people that do know these things

Yes you are write that they don't know football but I'm not bothered...and I don't think they scouted Aspas

Scatter gun approach? How is that?

If we maintain this fine run of form until the end of the season then I would say it has been a very positive season with improvement in most departments of the team.
However the squad looks very thin as soon as you look outside of our usual first 11 so if we want to have a squeak of overhauling an imperious title-winning City squad then more quality is required............. Ok so Keita should be an improvement on Can but surely we need some better quality options for Mane,Salah and Firmino in the case of any long-term injuries god forbid it! Also as much as we have looked more solid at the back recently I would like to see a better centre half line up beside Van Dijk.Another all round ball playing defender with a bit of a ruthless streak in him wouldn't go astray either!Karius' fine save v Newcastle gives me hope that his problem has been based on a lack of confidence since his arrival,fingers crossed!Mignolet has had enough chances!
So it is time to buy a goalkeeper who will challenge Karius,if not make the position his own,and give us what any aspirational side undoubtedly needs i.e. a strong backbone that keeps clean sheets when things are tight in games and more importantly when we are not firing!
Let's have a real go at Utd on Saturday as that could really spark a great end to the last few months of the season!YNWA

Really? I'm not aware sorry.

Yeah I'd agree with that Jimbeam, hopefully we can see out the season without serious injury to first eleven, especially the likes of Firmino, Salah, Mane and also VvD. Then I'd expect some serious signings in the summer as well as Keita coming in. We need a top class Keeper, even if Karius retains is improvement curve, we also need a top centre half a defensive mid and an attacking mid in the creative sense. If we can get those in of the right fit and quality, I feel we could challenge. No more prospects please, it's long past time we won something.

...and the title has to be our first priority!
