At least I can amend my fantasy team now, every cloud...

ok i'll take that!

Its not actually, in fact its the total opposite. purslow said that the one thing worse than no sale is the wrong sale, which i happen to agree with. Its Moore's who got us here by selling to a pair of parasitic C***nts. the nazi/nuremberg analogy is not only totally out of proportion but it also bears no resemblence, even in principle, to the circumstances surrounding nuremberg.

publisged fees but not payment structure. I mean, think about it rationally, why on earth would purslow go on the record on the official site with dishonest answers and lies about transfer money? He's obviously a smart and savvy guy to have the job he has so it makes no sense to think he would happily tell barefaced lies in public when as you say the accounts are published every year and he could be exposed at the drop of a hat by anyone with an abacus

no, but i dont know of any who dont either. i.e. i have no idea how other clubs operate and none of us really know how we do so we have no real factual basis to call him a liar

I think its way too harsh to call the link 'bellend' . to be honest I thought it was a pretty frank interview. The guy cannot win. I've no brief to champion him and im not trying to but I'm taking that interview at face value. to say that he is lying when he says we put 100% of sales of players back into buying them is a total stretch. how do you know we dont? for instance, we sell mascherano for 18M for arguments sake. does anyone on here really believe that the manage then has 18M to spend on players? the reason why he would not is pretty simple. I would say when we bought Mascherano we paid a sum up front and the rest to be paid in installments over a fixed number of years. for all we know we might still be servicing that debt. and how do we know that Barca paid 18M upfront for mascherano? how do you know it wasnt a sum up front with more to be paid over the years?

Well he clearly felt he wasn't being given a fair crack of the whip, and he obviously wasn't alone in that sentiment. whether he was right or not we dont know and its not that relevant. thats how he perceived the situation. in any event, my point was the departing message was a nice touch and he was very complementary to the fans.

I say fair play to him. he was obviously very frustrated with rafa not giving him a run last season. The sinking ship comment was out of order, not because it wasn't necessarily true at the time but its totally inappropriate for a player on the books to say things like that. But if you forgive him for that, the departing message was a nice touch

Thats the spirit!

no, your suggestion is the worst gamble in the world. lets say we all boycott and the yanks persist with their crazy valuation. we give them no money, we lose gerrard, torres, reina, masch etc..because they dont have the income to pay them, and then the yanks relise they need to sell at a discount and they sell and the new owners come in and have to rebuild a team without the best players we currently have. does that sound like a victory to you? id rather the yanks sold the club with our best players in situ thank you very much. and in any event and in all reality, if me, you and ever other european fan boycotts liverpool it wil not stop the asian market from doing so. and in all reality you will never ever mobilise a european fanbase large enought to boycott the club to make any sort of material impact. so please just stop with this idea, ideally its not sound and practically it is a fantasy

no, im giving my money to Liverpool Football Club, established 1892, and my money into our club will survive long after the lifetime of those 2 individuals you mention. you seem to imply that im paying money into their personal account, which, with respect, is either v shortsighted, cynical or Retar*ed

furthermore, if the current regime actually makes 'fans' boycott the club the not only are they underscoring and exascerbating the achilles heel that we have in the guise of the owners but they are turning their back on the instsitution that is LFC and the 'walk through a storm' ethos as an aside, I hope mr moores is having restless nights these days

yes, kick the club when its down, great idea... when will people realise how to divorce LFC from its current ownership. it existed before and sure as F*** will exist after these pr*&ks leave. I will not abandon my ticket nor my shirt, ever

no, if you actually considered my post properly i was referring to the players who are being linked with moves away. jesus...!!

has anyone considered that maybe pour big namer players ;like gerrard, torres, masch and maybe yossi indicated that they favoured a change of manager and that precipitated this event, if true? just throwing it out there, not beyond the realms of possibility ifotclubs are bidding for our best players and we are hoping they will stay

they are winding you up mate

pure speculation. i'm assu,ming H&G des[pite being utter stnuc* will not want a complete moron in charge and im sure boughton will do his job as a director of the company and act in the best interests of the club.

utter nonsense, i think its general knowledge that they'd be laughing if rafa stayed, theyve being saying it for a long time. id say they are worried now that we get someone else in who revives the squad and injects some impetus into our squad. if we are stuck with the current squad in general, then we need new impetus and that will come from a new manager and new coaching staff

no offence but that is a v naive statement. his lawyers do that and they are paid to look after his interests not the clubs. get with the real commercial world. football is a business

i think sometimes players owe the fans some loyalty, particularly local players and local fans

I think thats a nice sentiment but its not the reality. I think in the modern game you need to see players as sole traders. they want, and are entitled to, in my opinion, some personal glory and silverware in their careers. Obviously, before everyone flips out, Stevie has won everything at Liverpool bar a league title. But I always get the impression from him that the league title is the most important to him and he'd like to win one, wherever it may be before he retires.

i totally agree, and therein lies the real tragedy. to have gerrard, torres, masch and reina as a spine is an absolute privilege and to see it go to waste (if it does) will be absolutely criminal and an unmitigated tragedy. Im sure stevie would love to stay, and to be honest i think he will, but as you say if he does go my point above stands

yes and your point is? nobody on here is going to say liverpool isnt a great club. Rafa being a great manager is open to debate obviously but nevertheless we still have a very substandard squad compared with all of our nearest rivals.

I agree. he has just turned 30. Good luck to him. Whilst he has undoubtedly been one of the greatest players in the history of the club. Without him over the last 10 years, I shudder to think where we'd be. He deserves better than having to run around with the likes of El Zhar, Degan, babel, Insua and N'gog hoping tpo finish 4th at this stage in his career. Who could blame him for joining a great club with class players, cash to spend and a class manager. Imagine a midfield and attacking 6 of Xavi Alonso, Diarra, Gerrard, Ronaldo, Kaka and Higuain as opposed to Lucas, Dirk, Yossi etc.

so slagging Rafa off by calling him a spanish **at is not exactly the best way of doing it, but it nevertheless shows a genuine degree of frustration at rafa. but your response to me is not better to be honest with you. and if your only issue is the way in which people criticise rafa and the language they use, then that is different from criticising peole for wanting rafa out. so you need to decide which bothers you most.
