Bobby V related? :shaq:

Mixed bag for LFC really. My only real problem with them is the lack of visible progress on the stadium issue. It's been 18 months & we're still pretty much stuck at square one; falling further & further behind other teams with our matchday revenues. I think most of their other decisions can be justified, but the next few weeks are huge for them, with the hiring of a new manager & director of football being pivotal for the future of the club. So we'll have to wait & see what they do...

From 03 to 07 they made amazing decisions. From 08-now they have basically erased all their good decisions with their decisions they have made recently.

So the fabled moneyball approach is a load of hogwash :skip:

its not, but Henry and co have been really bad the last 5 years.


they also dont understand that the approach doesnt work yet in football because most of these stats have only been in use the last 15 years or so, and its harder to do it in the sport due to all the different variables.

"Let's sign Stuart Downing and Jordan Henderson because they create sooooooooo many chances!!"

*watches Henderson make 4 yard passes, and Downing complete the invincible season*

Any system that entices you to spend 20m on Downing is a nonsense :russ:
