KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum I don't want LFC to become a b@stard club

i dont think people understand i am not bothered who owns the club just how the potential funds get spent

what will be will be. it'll be ironic if we get a takeover and people are on here complaining we have too much money to spend!

i honestly think hodgson would only buy a couple of world class players. then again, hodgson could also be replaced when the first opportunity presents itself. hope not

i think we should all wait before jumping to thoughts

fingers crossed guys!!

Am with you, i don't want us to go about it in the same way as City. Yes invest in the team, but not over the top or giving out ridiclous wages. And develop the academy more to produce our own youngsters instead of buying in youngsters.

Plus once the debt has gone, the stadium is built then we would be making huge profits and wont have to rely on a wealthy owner, unles they take all the profits

too late, im jumping to thoughts.

looks like Pussy from the Sopranos...

I share your fears but we will always be able to attract the best players as we are a prestigious club. Thats why City failed to sign Kaka. If that had been us trying to buy him he would have been an LFC player (if we had City's money I mean). Just look at when Madrid went for him. They offered less and got him. City can only attract the mercenary type and thats why I don't see them winning anything again this year.

I would just like someone with enough money to clear the debts, build a stadium, make one or two 'statement' signings and then let us get on with running like a proper football club again.

I could be totally wrong but I'm pretty confident we won't go the way of City. The thing with City is they came from nowhere with no world class players and had to throw money at players in order to drag themselves to a favourable position for other players to take note and want to climb on board. That in itself I can only imagine creates a mass of anxiety around the club because of the expectation on return of silverware but thats by the by. We don't need to do that, maybe 3 or 4 world class players would make us force to be reckoned with and with our long standing stature and history along with our prized assets it wouldn't be difficult to entice the right individuals for the right price, and going forwards supplement that with maybe 1 or 2 (dependant on outside influences of course) additions next season and thereafter which will eventually be funded by club revenue through commercial ventures and the eventual new stadium.
Things are not how they used to be when I first fell in love with the club but if it pans out like how I'd see it then its credible enough in this day and age.

I agree with some of the stuff your saying about someone coming in and clearing the debt and starting the stadium after that I would like the club to spend what we earn regarding buying players. However I dont think Kaka would sign for us in a million years myself if it was down to footballing reasons, I think he would come if you gave him 200k a week or more but lets live in the real world now, Liverpool Football Club are a big name in name only not for what they have done on the pitch and the repuation they earned was from nearly a quarter of a century ago, unfortunately the game has moved on and we have been left behind, We have a rich history back then similar to what the likes of Ajax, Benfica and Bayern Munich had in Europe the only difference is they have still won Leagues in there own country since then while we have stood still. To be regarded as big you have to constantly feed the success every season or so and thats why big clubs like Real Madrid, United, Barcelona, Benfica, Ajax and Bayern Munich dont normaly go more than maybe three seasons without either winning a champions league or a domestic league, we have not won league in 21 years and only won 1 champions league in 26 thats why we are big in name only now am afraid and why the only reason top class players are going to come is if we pay them an obscene amount of wages or they want to use us as a stepping stone for a few seasons like Torres to move up the ladder to one of the giants of the game.

yea torres signed for us as a stepping stone, thats why he wants to leave eh? the point you're missing mate is there are alot of players born in a generation to remember our success from a young age and know what this club stands for. we as fans also share a fantastic reputation.

you contradict yourself in other posts because other teams like real and barca have spent serious money to continue their success and thats were liverpool have fallen short over the years yet you would rather see us sit in mid table than compete with these teams not just on the pitch but financially too.

we might not have won the league but we have still won trophies, 2 champions league finals in 3 seasons is a huge achievement for ANY football club in the world.
