United's is £301 million,it went up 25% in 2017 from a quick google search.

Like i said repeatedly on here once you hit the £450 million plus barrier for turnover,debt is nothing as clubs with those massive turnovers are printing money,from CL revenues and those lucrative pre season tours abroad from appearance fees, ticket sales and merchandise plus commercial revenues and domestic tv money.

They haven't included the loan to FSG, which despite the propaganda of it being 'interest free' essentially counts as equity, which is a dearer form of finance.

£450m a few years ago maybe but these days Liverpool have debts to finance, have an enormous wage bill with several players hanging around on crazy money. It's a shame as they tried really hard to shift those players in the summer but they just couldn't find any buyers.

Also pointing to United as evidence debt doesn't matter is troublesome, ask around on a United forum, they might tell you something different. Especially this summer.

The wage bill was already the third highest in the league, then they signed Fabinho (100k), Allison (120k) Salah new deal (extra 100k) Firmino new deal (extra 90k), Keita (120k) VVD (!50k), Shaqiri (90k) TTA (new deal extra 40k), that's nearly an extra £40m onto the wage bill with very few big earners leaving.

Can left and although it was obviously the best move for him you think they'd have tried harder to keep him, instead they were forced to spend nearly £100m on the dozy duo of Fabinho and Keita, who are both on silly money.

It really is quite worrying. Pressure will begin to mount as they really need to be winning something given the expense of th squad and that mountainous wage bill

That new City chant going viral is pretty funny. Not as funny as having a chant about a tournament you didn’t win. Make. Us. Dream.

Which one is that?

Top fishing.

He's going to have to tone down the plainly wrong stuff if he actually wants to catch somebody, though.

The one about conquering all of Europe (apart from the final of course - so really they conquered Moscow Maribor Porto City Roma)

You wouldn’t by chance be offended would you ???

Ashamed of nothing.

You’re not even trying to hide what you are.

No matter how absurd he makes it. They cannot help biting on Steve’s bait. They just can’t leave one word, no matter how comic, against their beloved club left unanswered on the Internet.

Did you have that article saved for such an occasion as today when it might be needed mate?

The venom here is quite something. What exactly am I supposed to be ashamed of?
