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

[Saint Domingo]

Liverpool’s hysterical whining basically boils down to ‘We doped our way to the top a while ago so can now brush that under the carpet and moan about teams that have done it more recently and more effectively than us’

 

[GOT11]

The RS should be investigated for the transfer fees they receive. Despite us being in the age of transfer madness where inflation has gone through the roof, they have somehow managed to transcend that to the point where they are effectively stealing money from other clubs.

I would not be surprised, in the slightest, if they get £25m for Harry Wilson this summer. In fact, I'd be amazed if they don't.

They do receive insane amount of money but not sure that’s a crime to be investigated. If there are mad clubs paying mad money, they will milk em

 

[anton66]

You’ve gone out of your way to prove how much income they’ve made

Your heads about to go fam

Shall we set the timer?

I suspect your previous comment regarding agent fees has something to do with this actually. Liverpool paid £43.8 million in agent fees, nearly 20m more than anyone else last year.

There is surely no reason for the fees to be this high unless they have agents out there going above and beyond what they're supposed to be doing for players. I'd like to know how much Liverpool paid Coutinho's agent to facilitate that act of grand theft when he was transferred to Barca for more than £140 million...

 

[MikeH72]

Erm no I haven’t, your the one embarrassing yourself arguing against something factual. I’ve not ‘stated’ the RS needed to sell to buy at all. Take a chill pill and go for a walk. Clear your head.

Did you hate Petro Dollar FC after the “Aguerooooooo” moment mate?

"Hello this is Eddie Howe, I have 25 million in used non-sequential notes. What have you got in a young Englishman?"

Could those agent fees be a way of financially doped clubs like Liverpool getting around FFP?

I can't think of any reason why any club would spend over £40m in one year on scumbag agents unless it was for duplicitous reasons.

To be fair, I thought it was just a way to syphon cash into manager's pockets in the worst instances. But maybe my lack of knowledge of grift, vice and general financial trickery is what is limiting my imagination.

I think that was the Allardyce modus operandi. The amounts Liverpool are paying these crooks though goes way beyond that.

Surely not Fat Scam?!?! I'm shocked. lollollol

Yes, he doesn't have to play or score any goals, I'll just buy him anyway !

 

[Roger Milla]

Loads of fake tickets for the CL final getting sold in the city. RS are buying them knowing they will get them passed the first few ticket checks outside the stadium.

I've been to a few Spanish stadiums and if you can get anywhere near the turnstyles they will be bunking in easy enough.

 

[TheBrace]

The said idiot cannot comprehend that they have still spent half a billion pounds to win bugger all . Whichever way the money was raised

Half a billion? Doesn’t matter how it was raised?

[Brisan123]

Yes, you’ve also posted quite a bit in one match day thread.

Fooling no-one.

Is that the game that cost the Cult the league
