Bulld0gs Liverpool Thread

[Bulld0g]

Parry and Moores were greedy. They could have sold to DIC but changed to the Yanks because they would make more money out of the deal.

These two are equally as bad as the yanks IMO

[rapscallion]

Yep typical Daily Manc. WHY would they SURELY want to leave ?

No investment in Two years ? Keane 19m Aqualani 20m Johnson 18m Skrtel 6m Dossena 7m and Riera 8m, plus the usual batch of players for between one and 3 million, not bad for a club with no money to buy players.

I wonder what player told him that the dressing room is split, and the players are no longer behind the manager ?

TBH this is the kind of shite i'm expecting to hear from the papers in the close season

Mainly because we have ~~~~ all chance in competing.That is why Gerrard and Torres may go
Investment means spending more that you are selling. It is exactly what SOS have been saying for 2 years, finally The Mirror jump on the bandwagon.
Everything he has put is what most of our fans are sh1t scared off and how vast numbers feel. Have a look on RAWK have a look on the Rattler(raotl.co.uk) Shanklygates, in fact more or less any Reds forums to see that most of us agrre with what Maddocks is saying in general. He maybe a cnut and he maybe CP lapdog but he has it spot on in 98 % of both articles.

[Bulld0g]

I go on all those forums and more. I am a lurker on alll, but familiar with all the main posters. I'm sorry but i disagree with what your saying. So, SOS think the yanks should go ? I am 100% in agreement with that.

To blame them for everything ,and back Benitez,regardless of what is happening ON the pitch is blind. I don't follow blindly. i form, and stick by my own opinions .

My love for the club is echoed by 40 years supporting them. It's difficult times for the fans, and as quoted in your post, fans are turning on each other. The reason for most of this, is the blind sheep like mentality of some fans.
They support the manager, more out of spite towards the owners , rather than an honest allegiance to the manager.

I respect your opinion m8, and this is mine.Next season. i will be there at Anfield, supporting the team,just as i have done eversince i was a kid.

maddock is and always has been the prophet of doom where lfc are concerned, everything he writes is designed to put the boot in to us and our club now hes jumped on another bandwagon, so what, fck him. like others ive supported the club for forty years,we've been through bigger things than this and by sticking together carried on heads held high.the debt is only money in the same way we have mortgages if the banks pull the plug someone will get the club on the cheep, so what. eventually the yanks will go, fck them forever.raffa isnt the best thing since sliced and his tactics are often bone but then who out there would manage the club under the same conditions.liverpool football club is bigger than the yanks, the banks,raffa and the players put together. as long as we pay our money at the turnstiles,wear our colours and sing our songs the club will continue in some form or another but we have to do it together, that's what makes us who we are.if we ended up playing at the dockers club id still go,that's were my mates would be.even though we disagree at times WE ARE LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB

are you for real..?? Has to be Gerrard to stay.. He's attack minded and LFC through and through

Benitez is staying, So is Gerrard, Thats that. I hope Torres stays, I think he will..... If you play for Liverpool, The city becomes yours, The people are behind you... There is no substitute for Liverpool FC. What i hate about it are the few players who have no idea what it means to wear that shirt, We need rid of those players.

from sky sports, interesting read, and i totally agree with him


Rafael Benitez has defended his record since taking over as Liverpool boss, insisting that his side have progressed rather than fallen behind.

Benitez has been consistently linked with a move away from Merseyside, with Inter Milan reportedly lining him up as a replacement for his old rival Jose Mourinho, who looks likely to join Real Madrid this summer.

The 50-year-old Spaniard took charge at Anfield in 2004, winning the UEFA Champions League in his first season and the FA Cup one year later in what appeared to be the dawn of a successful era for the Reds.

However despite reaching another Champions League final in 2007 and coming close to winning the Premier League last season, this campaign Liverpool endured a miserable time, finishing seventh in the league and failing to qualify for Europe's premier competition.

"There is this legend that Liverpool hasn't won many trophies, that we have failed in that aspect," Benitez told the Daily Mirror.

"Well, Chelsea and Manchester United have won 10 trophies in the six years I've been in Liverpool; Arsenal, Spurs and Portsmouth one.

"Liverpool? Four trophies and we have played in three finals. Liverpool have been competitive.

"Does Liverpool have to win the league, as everybody demands, every year?"

Can't compete
The former Valencia boss also went on to state how his spending and dealing in the transfer market could not compare with the expenditure of United and Chelsea, who have been by far the most successful clubs in England since he took charge.

"Does the manager have absolute power in England?" he questioned.

"No, it depends on a budget and on the executive director that negotiates the signings of players.

"And it depends on the money you have and the intelligence with which you

operate in the market place.

"Look at the wages picked up by the players on Chelsea or Manchester United's substitutes' bench: (John) Obi Mikel, (Michael) Owen, (Salomon) Kalou, (Dimitar) Berbatov, (Michael) Carrick could be on ?4million a year!

"When Portsmouth offered Peter Crouch more money than we were paying him and promised him a starting place, it became very complicated for us to keep hold of him. The arrival of Fernando Torres meant he couldn't play as often at Liverpool."

One of the main criticisms levelled at Benitez has been that he has had money to spend in the transfer market, however he countered this assumption stating that he had made money for the club rather than wasted it.

"Some people say I have spent ?280million," he added.

"But we have spent ?220million on players and generated ?160million in player sales. That is the equivalent of a ?60million net spend over six years: in other words, ?10million spent per year.

"Deduct from that figure the ?120million revenue from the Champions League success and qualification over that period, and we have in fact generated an additional ?60million benefits for the club."

It's the same old same old. How much has he spent blah blah blah.Bottom line is he asks "Does Liverpool have to win the league, as everybody demands, every year?" The answer is .NO, but we need to at least mount a serious challenge every year

agree but this has only been 1 season!!!!!

As an American who is a fan on Liverpool i have to say the American owners need to go! All they wanted was to make money and look what happen! Saying that Rafa needs to go cause look at the money he spent on players that didn't pan out. I know we didn't have alot to spend and lost Alonzo But he could of atleast sign Owen on a free transfer in case Torres got hurt. Everyone knows without Torres we don't score. Before you reply about Owen I know he lost some pace but one thing about him he knows what it feels like to score and to me that is very rare in a footballer Plus he would of been free to sign. We need a system in Liverpool that spreads the goal scoring around not relying on two ( Torres and Gerrard ) players so when they get hurt we don't score
Go Liverpool

im not a liverpool fan as such,but i love footy,and i think that theres not much wrong with the team to be honest,ok a little blip this year,which happens to them all,but if you get the right replacement for alonso,keep gerrad,and give torres a bit of help up front youll be ok i also think rafa should remain in my opinion,oh and if you could install the passion of that man garrager into every player youd be unstoppable,no wonder england want him back,thats my tuppence worth
