KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum John w Henry wont spend silly

I feel this may be the time for us to embrace a getting back to shankly roots, we wanted Hicks and Gillett out so we could have our club back, bring back Kenny to get the ball rolling,in the seventies we had little money but won loads simply because the plyers wanted to play for the shirt, sheer passion and hard work done the trick,we wont have the money now so getting back to the Liverpool way will bring us success. we need to bring through home grown players then when we are self sufficiant we can invest the money won into the club as a whole,its a gamble but at least we will have our club back , its what we have just fought for.

i agree with you regards home grown talent we need to give some of the players a chance to get into the first team otherwise whats the point in having the academy to develope the talent if your not gonna have any of them get into the first team. to just buy players all the time makes it pointless in trying to develope home grown talent.

that being said i hope we do get some big signings we dont have to buy alot of players as there is talent like Jonjo Shelvey that could be put to use in the first team.

also john henry may not be silly with spending money on transfers but he even said Red Sox is the second highest spending team in Major League Baseball. So i am guessing he must have the kind of money to spend on some big signings as he has seemed to have spent big on the Red Sox according to what he himself has said.

Yeah ! I am just glad we outed the last owners, that struggle made me think as much as we want to win the main thing is to keep our heritage and traditions for our children,i never want to lose that otherwise we may be waving freebie flags like chelsea do! oh! that makes me cringe!if we do it right we can build up the squad and hold on to that special unique family feel.

Its going to be a long long process. Even if we do get a decent amount of money in January what decent player would want to join a team threatened with relegation, playing the worst football in the league and most likely having no European football of any kind next year.

Far more important than what we get to spend in January is getting a new manager in. We have to get the right man this time. Someone that is confident and positive who can handle he pressure.

Every day that Roy holds on to his job is another day we fall deeper into the the mire.

A Change of Manager is far more important than whatever money we get in January at this stage.

If we have to pay a 3mil payoff to get rid it could be the best 3mill the club has ever spent..

I feel its crucial to get the right manager,i feel i would only trust Kenny. my mistrust in people who dont hold our traditions dear leads me to think getting back to our liverpool ways is inportant,move with the times but keep all traditions,it may be contradictory but a way needs to be found, then passed onto future managers and players who come in,we must never lose what makes this club special.

Hey guys! just remembered, the lennon statue at liverpool airport had a note on top of it, it said ,ABOVE US ONLY SKY! BELOW US ONLY WESTHAM! how brill is that? unique humour, we dont want to lose that do we ?

I don't want him to spend silly, I want him to spend right.

Yeah thats a must! but while we are waiting lets keep are soul in place dont let anyone strip that away.

He definitely won't spend silly in January as he sounds like a shrewd business man with a proven system for success. He also does not know the football business like he knows baseball, he will be cautious. He may give Roy time because of this but if results don't improve I think he will throw caution to the wind and Roy will get the bullit before Christmas.

Attempting to buy superstars in January is next to impossible and their price tag will be over inflated. Clubs will push Liverpool to the limit to see how much thay will spend. Line up big names for next Summer but do it quietly so that it will not get sabotaged by other big spenders.

At least one of the new owners is a fan, well at least he says he is:
