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

[jinkyali]

They literally broke 2 world records in 1 transfer window...

Higher wage bill than City

It really isn’t though. I go on a Liverpool board, and I talk you to mates, work colleagues and family that are reds.

I’ve barely seen anything to suggest anyone is upset, and it’s barely been talked about in person, but when it has been it’s been in relation the impact on the city/waterfront which is generally seen as positive.

Most people think it looks good too.

There are differences between how we’re viewing it to how you guys are, obviously.

Your excitement is understandable but is also clouding judgement a bit when people are saying it’ll lead to top players joining and it’ll suddenly lead to you targeting top 4.

I know it’s not many of you saying that, but there’s none on our side thinking that.

You’ll need to improve on the field a lot by the time it opens for it to be a significant factor in players joining you over joining a team more likely to compete for honours.

You need to get out more often.

You were a long way off 4th a couple of years back despite wasting Brewsters millions. Things change quickly.

Absolutely things can change quickly. And I’m not saying you couldn’t be in a better spot by the time the stadium is built, but the stadium alone won’t make a player want to choose Everton over a ‘top 6’ if you’re not in the mix.

It’s moot, because 2023 - is that the timeframe? - is long enough away that the landscape might be totally different.

 

[SteChallinor]

But considering how obsessed reds are with Everton, the Anfield Wrap being a good example, this tells its own story. If there was a negative way to talk about this you can be sure they would, its proper piped a lot down who were waiting for it and hoping there would be somethng to laugh about.

Could be something in that, potentially. But the real life reds I speak to don’t really tend to talk about Everton unless we’re playing you, or you’re playing a rival, etc. At least not with me.

But could be a fair point.

 

[SteChallinor]

wasn't so long ago you had Ricky Lambert upfront chief.

Football can change very quickly and football goes in cycles.

Look at the power shifts at City/Utd & Spurs/Arsenal.

Long term should the Liverpool Waters project really kick in and BMD be alongside mass investment in retail/leisure/business Everton as a club will benefit massively in terms of outside investment.

I've always said this wont change us in the next 4-5 years but in 10-15 years I think this will be a game changer for a potential power shift on Merseyside...

I’m not going to argue that it can’t happen - the United City change you mention proves it can, but that has taken epic swings in both directions.

Without the oil money city wouldn’t have swung up so far, and the mismanagement post Ferguson has meant uts swung further down.

We’re not immune to going backwards, it’s far from impossible that you’ll come upwards.

But a “power shift” as you put it will take much more than a stadium as you know.

Ive said already, i like it, I hope it happens and I can understand why you’re all so excited for the future.

I’m in no way trying to urinate on any chips. I’m just saying that from what I’ve seen, heard and read - and even more so my own opinion - is that reds aren’t seething or jealous about this.

Course your not, just giving shouts of we won’t fill it, Ifs will be crap, and be in the championship but your not bothered!

Class and giggidy

Wow that is possibly one of the most concise awful statements I've ever read. He puts the Trumpster to shame in that regard.

 

[SteChallinor]

You’ve mistaken me for someone else, I reckon.

I expect you’ll fill it regularly as long as the prices aren’t significantly more than they are now, though like previous statements, you’ll need to also have a good side to see sell outs every week long term.

A new stadium will attract more match goers, so I expect you’ll be fine in that regard for a while, after which it’ll depend on how competitive you are - like every club.

 

[jaybx1878]

Hmm, I wonder what club this could be?

Im not mate, it’s a majority of your fans that say and act this way, and you know it

Because theyre probably saying "for Christ sake, don't let him start on Everton...he's on Grand old Team enough". Definiteky
