  1. Over his legendary 15-year career at Anfield, Bill Shankly spent a total of £1.33 million on transfer fees to build his era-defining squads. This modest sum (by today's standards) laid the foundation for the club's dominance. To answer your specific request, here is that amount converted into the currency of his early days: The Conversion In the pre-decimal currency system used for most of Shankly's tenure, £1 was equal to 20 shillings. £1,330,000 X 20 = 26,600,000 shillings Bill Shankly spent 26,600,000 shillings to transform Liverpool from a Second Division side into the "invincible" force he dreamed of. Why this matters Shankly often spoke about the value of money in relation to the working man's struggle. One of his most famous quotes about pressure actually referenced this unit of currency: "Pressure is working down the pit. Pressure is having no work at all. Pressure is trying to escape relegation on 50 shillings a week. Pressure is not the European Cup or the Championship or the Cup Final. That’s the reward." For the price of about 532,000 "weeks of pressure" (at 50 shillings a week), Shankly bought legends like Ian St John, Ron Yeats, Emlyn Hughes, and Kevin Keegan, effectively changing the history of the club forever.
  2. Maybe it's Alonso's agent putting a bit of pressure on to trigger some certainty for his client
  3. Don't see them beating either of PSG or Bayern
  4. Have never felt so disconnected with the club - I actually hate the sight of Slot now - I have no affinity with most of the players, there's no excitement and everything seems doom and gloom and the thoughts of this being the same next season horrifies me.
  5. Right - f*** him off to f*** now
  6. Arteta could be gone before Arne
  7. FFS fell asleep on the sofa after a s*** day and now this too
  8. This lad had the universe align completely and he took us to a title - my only memory of Arne will be about the meek, inept, weak team that he has made of us. Can't wait for this to be over, we might take a few seasons to get back on our feet but at least we won't be living this.
  9. I agree with whoever Daniel Austin is
  10. Nearing the end of the Arne era which is only good for the club - f*** this entire season
  11. Piss off Virg - turning back on a shot at our goal
  12. There isn't enough heat on FSG to do anything - maybe it takes some graffiti or a Slot Out bedsheet hanging on Anfield for the media focus to make it uncomfortable enough for them to even address it
  13. I don't know what kind of hammering we need to get shot of him but we could get that tested today
  14. It's the right decision, the time is right - what a delight he was - warrior - King
  15. Be good to see the end of this f***er of a season
  16. It's nearly over, hang in there lads
  17. We don't deserve Champions League next season and the only reason we will get it will only be down to how s*** everyone else around is. At least we only have 10 more games of this nonsense
