KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Is a decent run in the CL enough ?

If you look at the squad Rafa built on the back of that CL win it was miles better than the one that won the CL objectively. We also went on to drastically improve in the league and get to another CL final. Hicks and Gillette's money dried up though meaning rafa had to spend too much time looking around the bargain bin for players in the subsequent seasons. we didnt almost go into administration because we won the CL, for an entity as big as liverpool with such recent European and domestic success, that only happens due to serious mismanagement and serious failings by the ownership. But again, why do i need to lecture a supposed fellow liverpool supporter on well known recent history? Is it because you're glossing over these very important points in an attempt to denigrate one of the greatest football moments of all time, namely the Istanbul final? Probably. Whatever [oops] unremarkable club you really yourself to, whether that's the mancs or the blueshite will never have a moment like that. You can keep dreaming though.

Liverpool are on the march back up. It's taken awhile, and its still slow progress...but progress it is. You can continue to futilely [oops] and moan about it as your whining gets hollower and hollower with each step that is made. Or you can just accept it. Move on. Maybe concentrate on the mediocre aspirations of your own nothing club. Maybe next year they can consolidate a consistent top 10 finish away from the threat of relegation.

The [oops] you on about. You initially said that we never built on the cl success. Now you’re saying we did because we bought a better squad which is WHAT I SAID.. they provided funds, we then won a couple of domestic cups finished 2nd and reached another CL final.
Then they STOPPED providing funds and nearly forced us into administration... what exactly is your point!? That success requires continued investment? Do you want a medal for that profound insight!?

So what's better....qualifying for the Champions League for the next ten seasons and nothing else...or......winning three FA Cups and maybe four League Cups over the next ten seasons and not qualifying..simple enough question about what is the better return...

Winning domestic cups is kinda nice to have something to cheer about the spectacle of seeing the team captain lift a trophy aloft is awesome. But the FA Cup and the League Cup have no real value compared to European match-ups.
There is no reason we couldnt have won a cup this term if Klopp had not messed up team selections and tactics. And that would not hinder a decent run in the Champions League. And so it should be every season.

your right with your point...the problem we have is Klopp, he has decided we can't have both and that's why he dismisses the Cup competitions so readily...just check his domestic Cup record since he has been here. This season has been another disgrace with the season being over realistically in January again, what makes me laugh is people talking about an improvement...where exactly is this unless you are talking maybe moving up a place or two or a few more points...is this really how Liverpool Football Club...the Club built by Shanks, managed by Paisley gets judged on now and not by what trophies we win...very, very sad indeed. You know what saddens me even more...so called supporters buying into what the Club and Klopp tells them instead of using there own minds, don't you realise they are only telling you Champions League is the be all and end all for monetary purposes only, them and the players gain fans don't get a penny from the profits....anyway....

The club did not go bankrupt or to use the correct term for companies insolvent RBS would not refinance the loan because of the worldwide credit crunch you missed that quite important bit out. Had there not been the banking crash who knows where we would be now ?
