ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3


Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says the COVID-19 outbreak had become a distraction leading into their Champions League last-16 second leg with Atletico Madrid.

I've seen excuses, but that is just ridiculous

What an absolute stain on football, should be fined for that pathetic excuse, wasn't it more of a worry in Spain at the time rather than England anyway!!

it's looking like it will be a bit of an issue on their league campaign too.

"we'd have won it if it wasn't for those perishing viruses" to be said in your best Scooby doo's baddy voice
 
I love how they claim that the integrity of football needs to be protected yet many of them claim we need to scrap the FA Cup and League Cup next season so that we can finish this season.

The cups give some fans the best of days but we all have to change to accommodate them.

They really are self absorbed, aren’t they?

If any team deserves to have this season cancelled, it’s them.
 
FSG are overextended in the sports entertainment world. Which is the money spinner? Red Sox or red sh18e? I expect that they'll have to sell and the price could be lessened now. May be a relatively big financial hit on the nearly men.

Be interesting. Wonder what the state of ffp will be too. Maybe Uzzy might fancy one of them and who knows how desperate they'll be to sell.

The situation with FSG will be fascinating. The US economy is in a bad bad way. Trump continues to make awful decisions and it could be really spiral by November. I think he will take more.impulsive gambles.

To answer the question put, FSGs first love is undoubtedly the Red Sox. That will be protected before anything Liverpool. If the Red Sox struggle badly dont discount them using Liverpool to bail them out.

Theres lots of scenarios that are open currently. At one end you have FSG going bust, at the other you have FSG needing too gain money to help liquidity and using Liverpool. My gut says they will be very concerned with the balance sheet that appears for the next 12 months. The biggest wage in the league, allied to falling sponsorships and TV revenues is a bad mix.

Another point to factor in to this, is they are not afraid to make big calls. They recently traded a couple of the Red Sox top players. It's part of a bigger picture.

Realistically given their ages their key mens values are going one way. The market will have already declined. I can see at least one of the major assets going this summer. That's probably a best case scenario too.

If they go bust, make a radical call, or want some/all of the money LFC owe them in underpinning their expansive transfer & wage spend it could be more radical than that.

If VVD became available for what they paid for him, in a declining market, I'd be very open to such a deal

I've been thinking thins for some time, its common knowledge that Trump isn't a high flyer, he's a low flyer thats been supported by some gusts of wind. Unfortunately for Trump, those winds are blowing the other way and I can see the US economy crashing, then as you say, FSG's first love is the Red Sox not the Red SHoite so lets hope the RS get sold up the river to save the Red Sox

I'd rather see FSG sell off the best RS players individually and pocket the money than unload the team as a whole.

Major warning signs for Arsenal, United and Liverpool really. Each of them are in it to make money, and in a lot of ways utilise football clubs if their other business ventures struggle.

I dont think FSG will want to squeeze the cash cow, but the tap may have to be turned off if the recession gets half as serious as it looks it might.

The thing with Trump is, hes not a political guy. Most politicians understand there are limits you have to be prepared to stop at, for the wider good. I dont think he does. Hes a gambler with enormous vanity, and he will quite happily bet the house on a slim chance of re election. In business he does it a lot, but as hes born into money the odds are stacked with him, so if he fails he can try again or have it fixed. The US economy wont work like that.

I'd be very worried in America now. They need a cautious, sensible approach, the president will be the opposite.

What a prik, Simeone handed his arse to him, end of. They lost 4 of their last 6, Atletico flew in from a city RIDDLED with the disease and he has the audacity to say that. You can guarantee every single defeat this utter knob rot will act like the classless bellend their fans deserve. Beaut.
