Whitey Grandad

Just possible suggestions... No control over expenditure, debts getting out of control... It could explain the current situation. Maybe she/they just want to get the club back on the straight and narrow?

Oi! You leave me out of this! But at the time they weren't playing for Liverpool! Oh.

It could just be that she and her advisors could see that we were heading for big trouble if we carried on doing things his way.

I can't see those three being good enough for the Liverpool fans, they're going to expect a lot better than them.

Yes, that must have been awkward for him, suddenly having to justify all his spending and decisions.

Yes, I agree with you. Chambers doesn't doesn't make sense to me for either party

I can't see what Liverpool would want in a crock that's not going to be fit until next year and might never be as good as he was again. They need somebody now, just as we do.

I'm pleased to hear it, but we're talking about a bunch of blokes at work, not a social club.

Yep. He's just a football player, there are plenty more where he came from.

It depends on what happens to what's left of any net profit in player transfers. After tax and debt repayment there won't be much in the kitty. We still owe big lumps on previous transfers.

Lets ask a serious question: How much do the bed wetters think we should have paid to the want-away players in order to persuade them to stay, and then what would they have done to satisfy the remaining players? As far as I can see the present way is the only way and the management are going about it just as you would expect.

LOL Welcome to modern football, Champions League, Sky, video replays, Internet forums who says nothing changes for the better?

Popular is not necessarily good.

Who's milking Saints dry? There is not one shred of evidence for that.

'A tiny bit if investment'? We'd need a lot more than that for Champions League.

Well spotted. Why is it that others can't see this?

Footballers don't think, they're not qualified enough. Their agents, on the other hand, are in it for everything they can get.

Yes indeed. It all depends on the replacements. One of the (few) advantages of getting old is the acquired patience.

It's not really a clearance sale though because the only ones going are being sold at stupid silly prices.

No problems! Believe me, if you make a profit you'll pay tax on it and if you don't then you can't take a dividend. If you could save tax by investing your profits in new acquisitions at the end if the tax year then every company would be doing it by buying up a load of stock one day and selling it back again the next.

This is the important issue. The payment structures are complicated in a unique way, such that they lead to staged payments, player loans, loan fees, payments through 'image rights' companies to offset Income Tax and NI contributions much of which is still under discussion with HMRC.

That's clearly not true. Those that wanted to go an have massively increased their pay have been sold at what everybody must agree are ludicrously lucrative values. If it was ALL that we could then lots of others would have gone for relatively little.

Thank goodness there are some of us left. Why look for someone to blame? There's nothing that anyone should be blamed for.

Well put. Most other clubs beneath us must be very jealous.
