Kinell that sound very familiar that . Not a good enough excuse though apparently .

Every caller and every email read out apart from one, all wanted the manager out !!!

Whats the owner's reaction like ciggy?

They are backing Roy and looking at a rebuilding strategy. They accept that this season will be a non event, but that in 3 years we will be competing with the top clubs

Lets hope that works out!

They seem to think it will. They were very positive about the future and stated quite clearly that they think Roy is the man for the job

I dindt feel they backed Hodgson at all. Pretty much they inherited him and they stressed several times results where unacceptable. Almost ever caller wanted Hodgson dismissed. Wasnt too impressed with Ayre overall and the other two arent imposing or impressive figures so I just hope they are just calmly going business and will do the job. To be frank I still dont feel they understand the kind of money required to get us back up there and when asked where pretty evasive. Its all about opinion but based on that show I honestly dont feel Hodgson will be in post next year if not out this campaign.

Fair enough. But it doesnt look to me like theyre in any hurry to get rid of him and have pretty much wrote this season off.

Great to hear that Henry won't go for ground share if the fans don't want it.

Watching it. These owners are totally different to the vermin. I think they will redevelop anfield. And thats what i believe the majority of what the fans want. I certainly do

Really intresting watching the owner tonight.

this article came to mind when Mr Henry was talking about finacial fair play

As already mentioned, transfer spending completed before the 2011-12 season (as the first accounting period UEFA uses to measure the break-even test) would not be included in the UEFA FFPR calculations. Any large transfer spending, if it is not done in this summer or winter transfer window, would be taken into account by UEFA.

That is why it is so imperative for Liverpool, if they are going to get any transfer money from the new owners, to spend it quickly (and wisely!).

Longer-Term Significance

I may be proved wrong but this is where I believe the rules are in Liverpool’s favour. Unlike smaller Premier League clubs who will probably have only a finite level of commercial income (mid-range stadium capacity, merchandising sold only in the local area, limited commercialisation of overseas markets), Liverpool are one of only a small number of global football institutions that have the ability to expand their international commercial activities.

Additionally, and most importantly, the club has the potential for a much larger stadium to bring vastly increased revenues. Liverpool’s annual match-day income from their latest accounts of £42.5m is dwarfed by Arsenal’s £100.1m and Manchester United’s £108.8m in revenues. Being debt-free (a big ‘if’) and having £60m worth of additional revenue each season creates a much larger revenue stream with which to break even.

Therefore, in the long term, Liverpool’s hopefully increasing international commercial performance (perhaps into China) along with the potential revenue windfall of a new stadium should allow the Reds to keep within the rules by having larger revenues to balance against larger transfer spending.

Liverpool’s global following should give the club a disproportionate revenue advantage when compared with probably all but two or three other Premier League clubs. The fact that Liverpool are 7th (measured by revenue) in the Deloitte Football Money League 2010 for Europe shows the potential for further revenue growth.

Finacial Fair-play is our god-send
