Are we still playing this "Liverpool spend no money and it's a fairytale that they even came close" card? They've definitely done well and they deserve credit for it but they definitely did invest heavily in the side. And you can't blame, or be surprised, by Everton fans not being sad over Liverpool not winning the league. That's a normal reaction rival fans will have.

I don't see anything in my post that suggests I don't think Liverpool invested heavily. Big clubs have always invested heavily in football. Sovereign states rigging the system is a much newer development, and is a much more potent force. I don't see how you can possibly draw an equivalence between the two.

Liverpool have spent plenty since Klopp came in. Don't think anyone is denying that. But they've had to sell important players to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil-Dick Willie Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 3 hours ago, Cannabis said: As you are most likely aware, I enjoy poking fun at Liverpool but an oil club? Not a chance. They've spent money that they have earned through finishing high up in the league, getting to the final of the Champions League, selling players for obscene amounts and marketing around the globe by being one of England's biggest brands. In the past season they signed VvD, Alisson and Keita who were all funded by the Coutinho money plus the income streams I've mentioned above. If it wasn't the fact that they were Liverpool I'd be rooting for them, they're not an oil-baron club in the slightest and are managed (frustratingly) well at the moment. You're right. Their sugar daddy doesn't own any oil. Bout the only difference. When they were spending zillions on shite like Carroll and Suarez and finishing 6th every season they still outspent teams like Spurs and Arsenal. But it's okay because their rich owner is white and not arabic or russian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
