I expect Ings to leave Burnley this summer...Turf Moor is a cracking stadium.
Austin will leave QPR.....another great state of the art ground.
there goes your rhetoric.

I honestly don't see the point you're trying to make.

This isn't just about player trading that Kenwright has completely messed up, see the above list of failures.

To justify us selling our stars by comparing our ground to Burnley's and QPR's is an insult to Everton seeing as these clubs have yo-yo up and down the league's their entire history, were as Everton have been on the gravy train since the very start (of which Kenwright has been in charge for the majority of that time).

Wont be player related I would guess......? Unless we are allowed to announce signing a player before the window opens, which I have no idea if we can or not......

Oh ?...I thought you were the one comparing grounds .
The only point I made to you was ALL clubs sell players.
If its your way of venting your spleen against the current board then fine carry on.
But dont make out its only us that sells its "stars" ......every club does it.

Couldn't agree more with you on your first paragraph that 80s team never got the credit it deserved. On the 2nd part of your answer, we are in their shadow there's no getting away from that,( certainly not in the eyes of fellow blues), but certainly by the rest of the footballing world, we can see their notoriety but everyone else just sees their achievements and nothing else. All teams successes are in the past even ours but that can't detract from them successes or no one would have a history to talk of. You say they will always be known for much more than football, well I'm sorry but they wont because no one highlights their failing, only them who see under the mask know them for what they are.

It's not true that though is it?

It'd be hard to ignore a club that won 18 league titles and 5 ECs. But that's not the whole story. Their achievements tower over ours, yes. But living in the shadows - no. How can a club with the 4th greatest amount of success in English football be in the shadow of a club that's 2nd most successful? You're not comparing Liverpool with some I Zingari League outfit here. This is an institution of national and international renown. What you (and originally the Toffeeweb blogger) are doing is selling us short. You're doing that because you let the Kopites who call you bitter and half wit semi-literate hacks at the Echo dictate the terms of the debate.

And over and above the football it IS true to say that Liverpool are also known for non-football reasons. That's just a plain fact of the matter.

Put your shoulders back, puff your chest out and be proud of who we are. They are a circus act; we are one of the treasured institutions of the football world.

Wow

Liverpool have spent about £1/4 billion under Rodgers alone
Utd Spend have just spent something like £200m in 2 years
Spurs Spend big money most summers including over £100m the summer they sold Bale
Arsenal sold players to build an unbelievable stadium and they are now spending mega bucks every summer

Yes every single club in the world sells players, but the ones you've mentioned don't do it to survive thats the difference.

I was merely pointing out that, that was one of their many faults. As I said, the others have sold their players but they have or will have state of the art stadiums to show for all that money they have took in; what are we looking at? A ground cladded in miss match tin.

The clamour for a new more progressive owner is fine, but some of the views on what an owner should be doing for the club are both naive and delusional.

Our current lot might not have put any of their own cash in, but neither have they taken anything out.

Some appear to want a sugar daddy who'll pour his kids inheritance at it for love, let us know when you find one.

An owner who's prepared to INVEST, will ultimately be looking for a return at some point down the line, and there's been more who've come a cropper than have succeeded. Not reason enough to maintain the status quo but we should always keep in mind that there are worse out there than Kenwright.

how many times does it needed to be pointed out that this is wrong, check page 79 of the last accounts
