Just put top ten motd on about their predicted top ten players of the euros coming up. They put ten players in no particular order as they'll obviously put them in an order. It got as far as Virgil Van Dijk and I turned it off.

Alan Hansen in a bad way by the sound of it.

@RobinRobin had curled one out into the server. Took a week for it to be properly cleaned out, sanitised and rebooted.

Saudis after Everton. But but oil Bastards!? 

[toonotl 2662]

Now that all bets are off for teams playing together in the CL despite group ownership conflicts why not bring the blue dippers in as a feeder club for us despite being in the same league. That's how this works, right? 

 

In any case, the blue mackems already got some practice in at selling us their best talent at cut prices. So should be a smooth transition.

And how many of the scousers were complaining when liverpool were drifting in the old second division with no European honours and no obvious future.

 

so i can't stand liverpool and feel like a rant ....

 

In 1970 Liverpool were no more successful than City or Spurs(8 major honours each) and those clubs both had a European major honour but Liverpool did not.  Their era of domination began with the Littlewoods money.

1st english team of bought in mercenaries (Scots)

 

Liverpool are a completely manufactured club. Their founder, John Houlding, kicked Everton out of Anfield and therefore had a ground but no team. So he bought a load of players, mainly Scottish ones. He wanted to call them Everton as well but wasn't allowed so he called them Liverpool instead

 

Liverpools beer brewer owner, John Houlding upped the rent of the ground to Everton. Everton had to leave. Houlding had beer to sell and a ground to fill… starts a new club, pays mercenary Scot’s to come south and create team, decides to call team Liverpool. Beer washing, and clearly current day Liverpool fans have forgotten their origins (or the repeat of the 50’s/60’s)

 

Liverpool were given a free stadium.

 

Houlding loaned shed loads of money to LFC and when he died it was due to be repaid to the family. However, the family realised that the club wasn't in a position to pay back the loans and any attempt to force them to do so would result in the bankruptcy of the club and the total loss of the money owed anyway. So they gave the LFC a free pass by writing off the debt.

 

After several decades of not winning much and being relegated, the Moores family pumped sugar daddy money into the club to buy them promotion, a new team and trophies. 

 

Blood of 39 Italians on their hands. Liverpool should actually still be banned from the Champions League, they killed but got off with a 5 year ban 

 

Hacked a rival club’s computer database

Failed UEFA FFP in 2013 but failed to qualify for Europe so fell outside UEFA's remit for investigation and punishment.
 
Would have failed again in 2015 until they magicked out of the air alleged 'stadium development expenses' of £35 million from years before for the non-existent Stanley Park Project that enabled them to offset against FFP losses.  

 

Their shirt sponsors are convicted money launderers, aiding criminal organisations and terrorists link

• The Houthi rebels are responsible for many atrocities in Yemen including blockading food aid at the port of Hodeidah for starving Yemeni civilians.
• The Houthi rebels are financed and armed by the Iranian government.
• Standard Chartered have been find a cumulative total of $1.5 billion for repeatedly money laundering for various dodgy organisations but principally for the rogue Iranian government.
• Liverpool FC's main sponsors are Standard Chartered. The sponsorship started in 2010 and will run until at least 2023 which makes it LFC's second longest ever sponsorship.
• Liverpool FC, by 2023, will have received £280 million in blood money from Standard Chartered. 

Ditto their sleeve sponsors. 

 

killed a Crystal Palace fan

 

Unprecedented debt and asset stripping, fraudulent sponsorship dealings and accused of breaking FFP rules, unprecedented debt, debt, debt, accused of breaking FFP rules, can’t run the club well enough to be able to sort contracts out for players leaving them potentially jobless. 

 

Their owners have been caught cheating at baseball in the US. 

Liverpool owners forcing local residents out link

 

bricking City coaches whereas City fans impeccably observed their Hillsborough ceremony. 

 

hold the record for the longest ban in Europe by an English team 

 

Liverpool weren't even the biggest/most successful club in their own city at the start of the 60s, never mind biggest club in England. That was Liverpool before they were "financially doped" with dirty gambling money.

 

Some Manchester City v Liverpool bits ....

• Citys 10th highest league crowd is 71,364, Liverpools best ever crowd is 61,905. ( City even had 69,463 when in division two against burnley )

• City won the FA cup 61 years before Liverpool

• City won the league cup 12 years before Liverpool

• City won a cup in Europe 3 years before Liverpool

• City fans have never murdered any other fans.

• In 1970 Liverpool were no more successful than City (8 major honours each) and City had a European honour but Liverpool did not.

City were the first of the so called big 6 (apologies) to have won all 3 major domestic trophies and a major European trophy.

• 1970 City
• 1971 Chelsea, Spurs
• 1981 Liverpool
• 1987 Arsenal
• 1992 United

 

rant over 

 

 

just wanted to remind people that i mentioned the standard chartered stuff on here 18 months ago. but liverpool are a favoured team so they don't get hounded the way we do

 

and to remind you to hate them.

I hope 14 clubs fall into middle east hands. then we can all vote for whatever we like. 

 

If that happens i think liverpool should have to play in prison stripes and have to carry a bag of swag.

Was having an tete a tete about this whole thing with a Man Utd mate and his position was that it's unfair because the wealth gap is so vast. So it doesn't matter where it came from, or how it funnels into the club, it's just too much money. 

 

Didn't want to hear about adjusting for football inflation, mind you.

I have a fairly clear view point.

 

Take another look at City and scrap the spending restrictions.

 

City are debt free. That's the only rule you need (maybe some debt allowed, like mortgage against assets, so as not screw clubs like Man U over).

 

City are incredibly well run.

 

City behave with respect towards the wider community.

 

The Premier League needs to be the richest league in order to maintain pace with the rest of Europe. Restrictions threaten that.

 

City have massively invested in East Manchester. And it's paying off.

 

 

Those cranes are to do with building a third in the one remaining two tier end. They are also building a hotel and new fan zone. Getting ready for non-league football.

Prison stripes are black and white - yes they are hooped, but they can fuck off. American style orange boiler suits and they have to play in those leg chains you see when they get off the prison bus - then it's a deal.

Yeah i'm okay with the orange.

 

tbh i hadn't thought about you guys wearing black and white stripes. Has there already been a vote that i wasn't aware of?

To be fair, the amount of money that you (and we) can bring to bear would ruin the league as a competition. Unchecked both of us could buy the very best players from our opponents, the best in the world, and trade titles as they do in Spain. 

 

There has to be a limit on what clubs can spend, and it has to be significantly below what our clubs' owners can afford.
