LFC also can’t keep starting every season with a new manager.

They weakened the squad after their worst season in the modern era of the game.

Cowboy Mike speaks the truth…Ayre and the board are the common thread that own this steaming pile no matter who the managers is/was….

Not the easiest opening schedule though. And at times some of the play has been palatable. But I am scared to death about the lack of goalscoring ability and the depth in central defense. I have enjoyed watching Sterling run at defenders with the ball. Morgan looked solid as well (better than Downing).

Jonjo still freaks me out though. Like Powder and Uncle Fez had a baby that was trained by Lurch.

Red Sox fans are accustomed to excellence? really?

Since 2002: 90+ wins 8/10 years, two World Series wins, six playoff appearances

Few times can say the same. Probably only the storied New York Yankees.

All their fans post-2004 do.

We have no fear of spending and competing with the very best but it’s super easy to not be afraid of doing something when you can’t actually do it and know that to be the case.

Why then let Dempsey be the club’s biggest and most public (Werner, NESN, Rodgers, etc all mentioned) target but not see him as an actual asset you’d be willing to pay for? Fucking ridiculous.

I don’t know why you float his name all summer and then refuse to pull the trigger. That said, my fear was they’d sign and abuse him simply to try to gain some market share over in the States. Thought the same thing when I heard Lerner and his penny-pinching club, Aston Villa, were apparently sniffing at Dempsey.

We will build and grow from within, buy prudently and cleverly and never again waste resources on inflated transfer fees and unrealistic wages. We have no fear of spending and competing with the very best but we will not overpay for players

So essentially he’s going to be Billy Beane while everyone else spends like the Yankees….Best ‘o fucking luck, pal.

Our ambitions do not lie in cementing a mid-table place with expensive, short-term quick fixes that will only contribute for a couple of years.

This quote from Henry infuriates me (as does most of his joke of a letter). He’s obviously referring to Dempsey here. Why then let Dempsey be the club’s biggest and most public (Werner, NESN, Rodgers, etc all mentioned) target but not see him as an actual asset you’d be willing to pay for? Fucking ridiculous.

They weakened the squad after their worst season in the modern era of the game. For that, they need to get the fuck out and take Jen Chang with them.

I’m sorry that other people are spending their money in a way that you don’t agree with. The nerve!

Liverpool is headed right for a panicked rehiring of Rafa Benitez around mid-November.

Yeah good call, considering the twenty million pounds of payoffs they had to eat the last six months from firing Dalglish, Comolli, and staff members is part of the reason they’re so reluctant to spend any more money.

Ian Ayre is a complete disaster. The owners are absentee owners. They may be smart businessmen, but they are failing miserably with Liverpool. I just pray they’re shedding players and salaries to drive down operating costs so that when they try to sell the club in the next few months it’s a more attractive purchase than when they bought it.

Liverpool have no interest in Owen and Drogba isn’t a free agent.

It’s a funny reference. In 2006.

The Pink Hats that duffy referenced certainly are.
