saint i don't need to say how much i want the league. i'd snap your hand off if you offered us the league title. i couldn't give a monkey's toss who the owner, manager, captain or whatever was as long as we won the league. but I think the european cup will always take priority for this club, no matter who owns us. heimdall (spelling) and the rock have been two of the biggest moaners about how much they want the league then as soon as the european cup became a reality they were saying rest players for europe. igor's post in reply to it was one of the best i've seen on here. he summed it up perfectly.
me on the other hand am different to those two. i want the league and don't want us sacrificing that just to succeed in europe. ahead of the man city game i said i'd like to see a few of the kids given a go, but that's not because the game isn't important but since we can't move from fourth (which still sickens me) we might as well give a few a go to see what we're working with.
anyway i've gone a little off topic. back to these idiots in charge of our club. yes they may of taken money out to buy the players, but what would you rather have saint...debt and torres and mascherano or debt free and cisse and zenden? sometimes you have to sacrifice to gain. like i keep saying i don't want hicks/gillett at the club anymore than you do, but i wouldn't swap them to bring in someone who will keep us debt free but not win us anything. ideally obviously we'd be debt free and winning things, but these things don't happen over night. whoever comes in will have to fund benitez in the transfer market (money) repay the debts we already have (money) build a new stadium (money) pay wages (money) as well as keep some back for the future. for me (i don't claim to be any buisness expert, it wrecks me head if truth be told) whoever owns us, we'll be in debt because near enough every club in the world is in debt. not many owners because they put it on the club.
"The £10/20million we have been receiving from our CL runs is now not only desirable but it is becoming imperitive for the club to pay its debts" this is one reason why I'm desperate for us to succeed saint. the more we succeed, the more money gets put into the club, the more money in the club the more hicks and gillett can ask for from a buyer, the more the buyer offers the more likely hicks and gillett will fuck off, the more likely they are to fuck off the better for Liverpool Football Club, the better for Liverpool Football Club the better for us. so that's why i'd rather see us succeed now more than ever because it might give those two greedy bastards the little extra they're looking for to make them sod off.
1) You'll Never Walk Alone
2) pass and move is the Liverpool groove
3) FIRST WILL ALWAYS BE FIRST AND SECOND WILL ALWAYS BE NOTHING.
4) If Torres has scored 60 league goals for Liverpool by the start of the 2011/12 season, I'll say he's better than Owen.
