ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 2

[nsno-chris]

You know how FFP works Dave? It’s not just spending y’know, the oldest transfer there is Carroll ( I think) in Jan 2011. So. Let’s go thru EVERY sale (not just the most expensive ones) from jan 2011 and compare them to City.

2011 RS. City
50m Zero

2012 5m. 16m

2013. 6m. 34m

2014. 25m. 12m

2015. 83m. 46m

2016. 65m. 32m

2017. 75m. 4m

2018. 185m. 79m

Total. 494m. 223m

The RS have bought in 494m compared to City’s 223m in transfer sales. 271m more than City, just in transfers. Then, obviously, counter in revenues etc. There’s a reason why only one club is in the headlines regarding FFP. No doubt I’ll get accused of being a RS but the half truths you come out with are ridiculous.

That’s utter bollocks. You’d swear they were selling their star assets every year and not replacing them.

They get kings ransom for god awful reserve players like solanke, Ibe and that keeper nobody heard of and your acting like the squad is being dismantled and they’re fighting against all the odds.

Net spend was a valid argument for us when we went 2 years without actually signing anyone yet players were still being sold.

But Jesus Christ what a pathetic argument you’ve come up with here. You should be embarrassed of yourself

I wonder if they're going to get mad about Sheffield Wednesday basically sucking off the King of Thailand, a country with a terrible human rights regime.

Probably not.

Our own goverment is starving poor children, killing the disabled and selling arms to Saudi to drop on thousands of civillians, yet they are moaning about another countries ethics and morals ffs. Hasnt it just come to light that the Bin Laden family loaned Sheff Utd money, where's the outrage?

There is no way Abramovic and Usmavov are clean, the glazers and Kronke certainly arnt, yet not a word. Nobody was bothered when the Spanish government was found guilty of providing state aid to Real Madrid and Barcelona at the taxpayers expense. Or cares when Bayern hoover up all the best talent in Germany year after year and clean up in a mainly 1 club league.

Would any of this be getting discussed if it was Chelsea, Spurs, Utd etc pipped to the league by 1 point? Dont think so

Their net spend argument is hilarious bordering on distasteful. So they spent a lot of money on players like Torres, Mascherano, Alonso, Riera, Agger, Keane to try and win the premier league. Money it turns out that they didn’t actually have. When that debt was called in and they couldn’t pay it they cried in an absurd legal ruling allowing FSG to swoop in and not only take control of the club at around 30% of its true value but also wipe the club of its debt. FSG then went about selling those players (or the players bought on the back of fees those players raised) 50 mill for Torres etc. The club then slapped residents of Anfield with compulsory purchase orders to drive them out of their homes after running the local area purposefully into the ground to build a new stand to increase their revenue.

After all of this, a couple of years down the line and they’ve spent more money than any club in a single year including 2 world record fees and they’re out lecturing everyone on net spend and how they’re taking the good fight to the oil clubs. It’s honestly sickening. Their fake virtue signalling and lack of any self awareness whatsoever is nauseating. They basically spent money they didn’t have building up a massive asset base to get them into the CL on a regular basis, avoided the natural consequence of doing this (in a way Leeds didn’t) and have traded of those CL revenues and player trading revenues ever since only to sign up other fans forums to peddle a load of self righteous guff about net spend. Absolutely shameless.

I'm confused by Bayerns comparison to the others....

Hi Steve, no, I’m not hurting at all. I’ve enjoyed the last week immensely, thank you. I just happen to think that what City are doing is bad for football, good for us, (at the moment) but bad for football. The fact that they can do it with a total disregard of the rules. We got a transfer a ban. Chelsea looks like they’ll have one, the RS have had one. City gave Jadon Sancho 200k when he was 14, as per Footyleaks, where’s their ban? We all go on about fair treatment. Well? I’ve been a city fan the last few weeks, but you can’t deny that what they’re doing is good? It’s only good because it stopped them winning the title, but is that what we’ve become? The RS will be nowhere next season, City will still win it, because they have a disregard of the rules, yet we’ll carry on supporting it? It’ll come back to bite us on the Arsenal soon. There’s a reason they’re being investigated, and we’re quite happy to sit back and be happy for them to do it? Where’s our morals?

Ha ha ha, City depriving your shower of trophies is as far as im concerned, more than good for football.lollol An rs talking about morals and total disregard for the rules.lol Keep drying those eyes out mate.lollollol

On another note though...

I read a bit about heysel and I don’t know why it’s not given any footage when compared to hillsborough...was it normal back then? Football hooliganism ?

But I guess I was mistaken.
