If he goes we may get 6th or 7th if someone can come in and rejuvinate the players.

thats what i was thinking, Roys terrible but i dont think were bad enough to get dragged into relegation scrap like some are saying.

we will pick points up at home, easily enough to stay up. But away we will continue to get next to nothing.

could finishing outside of Europe be a good thing? I'm talking about the Europa league, not the Champsions League....

It would let us focus on our league form and let us rebuild without meaningless away games in Eastern Europe etc.

to be fair we havent used the big players in europe this season so it cant really be used as an excuse.

no one will come to liverpool if we are not playing top teams, in fact when we did win the cl, no one significant came in droves, coz if they did we would be league champions 4 yr ago

why cant we get the best players

or at least attract them??, or even get a great manager in to lure these players over??

i didn't mean it as an excuse for this season...but next season i would rather we didn't bother with it. It's a joke competition and being out of it would let us focus on our league position.

its not a great competition but it does give some of the inexperienced players a chance of gaining some european experience.
Also once it gets to the later stages it will improve and winning it would be great.
Not that we will as you have to be able to pick up results away from home and as soon as we draw anyone decent we will get f'cked away more than likely.

being in the european places is vital as part of our rebuilding process, as it all about attracting players. we will all ready be missing out on the top players, as the ones we have will want to be leaving and new ones will only want to play in the champions league. therefore we will have to settle for players who are of the best europa league level, our own youth, and those who believe that liverpool fc really is still a club worth playing for. if we are out of all european competition next season, and as expected players like torres and reina do one, then we will remain mid table for some time. having said all that i'm not holding out a lot of hope for a top 6 finish or a cup win either.

Agreed, forget about Champions League, at least a Europa place would be good enough to attract some good players

Added exposure, added income, mercandise and attraction of better players is what european football brings.

Sooner or later "history" will mean little if there is no money and midtable finishes.

Thats what the Romans thought but people still talk about them

zzzzz...

Still the romans lost to never rise again.
Apealing, I think not...

Anyway, I am worried about the next few years than just this season.

Right now I haven't seen any indication/action that things look brighter.

There is no coincidence that the top 5 clubs are in a league of their own. MONEY.

We have invested nothing for years, stadium is just as built as it was 10 years ago.
All those money Rafa got us from all the CL success just gone on interest instead of back in the team.

That for me is the biggest sin. When we were on top and going places and getting prize money, only a very small portion was reinvested in team. That won't float...

With no investment in the team for years it won't do to just say business as usual and have a net spend of 15 million/year
and expect things to pick up and get back there.
We have to "take back" those 3 lost years investmentwise and
shell out 60-70 million imo to be back at the top. Dreamland?

NO, the truth.
