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

[davek]

If they missed out this year they were screwed for years. Ageing team and screwed finances to replace them. Klopp will have a bit of money to spend now and the CL money eases the hit of the pandemic a bit.

Liverpool needed the Euro super league - that's why Henry was THE driving force behind it.

There's no way they'll be spending what's required to get on top of their rebuilding; the CL cash is what - €15M to reach the Group Stage and market pool cash = €30M?

That figure seems exaggeratedly low, has to be closer to 50 mil sterling.

I wont challenge that. But I would like detail on it, though.

Guaranteed cash due to a Group Stage place + a bigger slice of the pie through past record in Europe gets you so much.

According to wikipedia:

• Base fee for group stage: €15,250,000
• Group match victory: €2,700,000
• Group match draw: €900,000
• Round of 16: €9,500,000
• Quarter-finals: €10,500,000
• Semi-finals: €12,000,000
• Runner-ups: €15,000,000
• Champions: €19,000,000

Thats the prize money based on performance. Dont know anything about Tv money though.

Of course they won 8 out their last ten games. Went from relegation form to title winning form with two academy kids at the back. Only that lot.

And conceded once in the last 3 crucial games after conceding for fun.

They cough up 2 or 3 gilt edged chances every game. No one takes them though.

Ok, that's another €4M on top of basic group stage cash. TV cash is pooled with 'big hitters' getting a bigger share. Sponsorship deals may be triggered in relation to CL qualification too.

Let's say it was the €50M total you believed it to be: that wont make a dent in the type of spending Liverpool need to make.

Might I remind everyone that Manchester City today won the Premier League title. Here's the BBC's take on the day...

City won the title a month ago. The relegation places were decided .. the only thing left to play for today was the European spots.

All with the worst injury crisis that any club ever had.

WTaF?!

Do you believe if Liverpool had won the PL weeks ago they'd have the Football page with a top story of Man City securing a CL spot when they lifted the trophy?

They are the Establishment club.

The season was over. Nothing to play for with the opposition they faced. They were either relegated or safe.

Unfortunately the English teams will be favourites for the CL next season. Madrid and Barca are a shambles. Bayern are in decline and Nagelsmann is a poor hire. Inter are the only Italian side worth a passing glance. PSG will be the only continental threat to deal with. Liverpool will be up there with City and Chelsea as favourites.

 

[ste d' indica]

Media celebrating them qualifying for a competition they tried to crater a few weeks ago. Shameful.
