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

DixieScoresAgain said:
Leeds had a 60 million pound turnover where Ridsdale got loans of over 150 million, they missed on CL and it came crashing down as they needed CL revenues with wages almost 90% of turnover, Ridsdale should been banned from football for life after what he presided over.

Almost 20 years later you have the SKY 6 clubs in England with turnovers of 430-650 million range.

None of those clubs are doing a Leeds anytime soon, they have wages to ratios under 60% in the last turnover results.

I'm not sure they will follow Leeds, but the problems they face will be more severe than what triggered Leeds. They are going into it from a more stable position though. However, the reality is, they are probably more at risk than Leeds were currently in absolute terms.
 
Yes because nothing screams integrity like running algorithms to decide remaining fixture results or work out points per game to determine finishes.

How many times have we said football, in particular the PL is unpredictable. We have seen teams who look doomed go on a run (remember Wigan beating Arsenal, Liverpool etc), teams who look safe have a patch of bad form. Teams escaping or dropping on the final day?

It all comes down to form/injuries/home advantage/opposition teams with other priorities/good or bad decisions on the pitch. Every single bit of that is unpredictable yet they want to put it on a frigging calculator to arrive at a decision.

Everything about that thought or process is lacking integrity.

Running a championship manager style simulation to decide a multi billion pound industry is about the most stupid thing I've ever heard. It wont happen. People are not going to be losing their jobs on the back of an algorithm when we could just void and start again.

I see theyve rolled out a catwalk of ex players jockeying for the RS to takeover the plaudits for Captain Tom with individual comments. Bloody cheek of their arrogance... a few of them saying "From one former Captain to another...."
Different sort of medals were talkin there, pal.
