History is not going to be kind to this Liverpool team and I’m going to love it :ohlawd:
That's just the result of modern media coverage combined with social media reactions.

Liverpool's been overhyped way more than necessary and now, if they start to decline, overreactions will go the opposite way.

In reality they're a great team, albeit a little one dimensional :manny:

Is anyone gonna try to sign Ait-Nouri from Wolves or will everyone wait until price goes up to 50m?

I wanted us to sign him instead of Tavares. He looks like he’s gonna be a baller. Solid defensively and is a helpful option in attack on the overlap.

that does not prevent them from turning into "the Glazers".

just as it wouldn't have stopped past owner abramovich from going crazy in 2021 and turning into the glazers.

10 years is nothing.

Not sure why they'd pay a record fee for a sports club only to run it into the ground.

10 years ain't a long time but it's plenty of time to continue developing the brand, the ladies team, the stadium etc and if they do that they will have earned the right to cash in / take profits.

Paper gangsterism

Same thing happened to Gadaffi's money as soon as he lost power

meanwhile under "the Glazers" "run into the ground" Man Utd is worth what?

we are in a high inflationary environment.

prices of all asssts with safe-ish future cashflows is going to go up.

especially football which still has significant room to expand into the usa and rising asian middle class markets. streaming++ is still to come. meta-VR football still to come.

how does "doing a glazer" stop all the above?

it doesn't.

Anybody got a timeline for this fella? Was he the fitness coach during Andy Carroll/Charlie Adam era or is he bringing inhalers? :mjlit:
