Any doubting our owners can hide their head in shame.

Liverpool Football Club mean business this season, and a successful season from our manager will back that up.

If he does, then it proves sometimes that a little faith can go a long way, regardless of peoples opinion of the manager, but if he doesn't, then they can not be criticised for trying to steady the boat and will learn.

Only time will tell, but either way, we should be grateful who we've got.

That is all.

With you on that Davey boy
Up the pool

13 Jul 2015 20:43:34
I've heard it all now.

13 Jul 2015 20:49:39
We still haven't got a striker with Sturridge being injured. And as for the manager, 'the yes' man who'll do anything to save his own bacon. If the Americans asked him to shovel pig s. t he'd agree. I wouldn't want to be in the trenches with Ted.

13 Jul 2015 21:45:32
We've signed a championship level goalkeeper, a kid from Burnley and a decent midfielder in Milner all on free transfers, another one-hit wonder from Southampton and one good signing in Firmino, all whilst keep our incompetent manager.

So why would I have any more faith and belief that this will be a good season? This comment will be criticised no doubt, but guaranteed those who disagree will all be feeling the same way come June 2016.

EMS - Adam
Adam - EMS ??!

13 Jul 2015 22:00:34
Spot on Adam, whilst of course selling one of Europe's best young talent and before you all start with "it's the sale of the century", mark my words he'll come back and haunt us at Anfield. Sterling a return won't be a shrinking violet sketch as with Torres. With the likes of Aguero, Silva, poss Pogba, Toure etc., he'll roast defences just as he vid alongside Suarez.

13 Jul 2015 22:01:21
It's not about throwing money around, its about spending it wisely and whilst there are reasons to be positive, we should also be realistic. The acquisitions so far this summer are reminiscent of last year i.e. leaning towards a policy of quantity rather than quality. Last season, the keeper position was an issue. This has not been addressed. Last season, scoring was an issue. The only two players that - just about - got into double figures for us have now left. I hope Ings comes good and Benteke, if we buy him, same as everyone else, but are they really going pick up that mantle?

All last season, we funnelled play up the middle or changed tactics and formation several times a match. The 'new' coaching staff might address this.

So a mixed-bag really far from convincing that the 'review' evidences much learning from past mistakes.

Hopeful, but realistic.

13 Jul 2015 22:02:40
And before you all start about Sterling and Suarez etc., with the 'they wanted to go" argument, ask yourself this, why did they want to leave? Do we see petulance at the Ethiad, Stamford Bridge or Old Trafford? No, different business models.

13 Jul 2015 22:05:07
Isn't Ings a striker?
What happened to Balotelli?

13 Jul 2015 22:13:06
I don't understand the post. If they are right then great, if they are wrong then also great because they will learn? or because the owners are always right?

We just finished an awful season, our manager who didn't win a trophy for three season kept his position despite the fact that apperantly one of the most succesful manager in the current generation of managers wanted to come to us. BR wouldn't have kept his place with Abramovich, with City owners or with United's owners. What reason is there to believe that next season will be better? If you look at how this summer goes we have no realistic chance whatsoever to finish top 4. What is there to congratulate the owners for? The may have good intentions but they don't have a clue about how to build a trophy winning team in the PL.

I said here several times. As much as I admire Hazard and Costa as much as I think Mourinho is an amazing manager, if I had to take just one person from Chelsea to us it will be Roman Abramovich.

13 Jul 2015 22:19:28
Ozone. De Gea wants to leave Old Trafford, Ronaldo left too. Without champions league football its hard to keep hold of the best players. And I have no clue why you're slating the FREE signing of Ings and already doubting Clyne.

13 Jul 2015 22:33:21
Go on Ozone, break a habit of a lifetime. Instead of telling us all about how money grabbing and opportunistic the owners are, give us your own preference: a 'fan'? Someone like Newcastle have? Would you prefer Man U owners? Or is it you are gazing enviously at Man City's 'lifelong fan' Arab owners? Put your xenophobia aside, and give us your version. skip giving me the cheap shot generalisations about anyone who disagrees with you, tell me who you want to own us.

13 Jul 2015 22:34:46
Ozone. No petulance at the etihad or old Trafford? You have a very short memory if you have forgotten Tevez refusing to come off the bench and then going home and refusing to play for citeh. And what about Rooney when he threw his toys out of the pram and said he wanted out unless he got a massive pay rise.With your negativity I don't understand why you don't go and support these wonderful clubs

{Ed001's Note - Yaya and the birthday cake....}

13 Jul 2015 22:36:22
You tell me about Ballotelli, Borini, Lambert etc Ron as Ted felt it appropriate to play Gerrard up front against Stoke last game with a further 7 midfield compliment.

13 Jul 2015 22:38:19
Ings is an unproven U21 Ron.

13 Jul 2015 22:47:43
Yeah ozone they wanted to go but the chavs top players don't we sell ours at the top of their game do you think sterling would have left united city arsenal or chelsea

13 Jul 2015 22:58:29
Ohhh I thought you'd vanished Ben. Didn't here off you last season. Feel as though you've got something to cheer about do we. Answer me this Ben, Teds just announced he was behind sacking Pascoe and Marsh. Why has it taken him 8 years to realise Pascoes not up to the job?

13 Jul 2015 22:59:52
Red since 64. Is Rooney still at Old Trafford?

13 Jul 2015 23:01:37
MrYoxall - where have I said I doubt Clyne? Ings is an unproven U21 so until he proves himself, there will be doubts. He's not a proven 20 plus goals a season striker now is he.

13 Jul 2015 23:09:55
I'm confused.
All the BR haters are the FSG supporters ?

13 Jul 2015 23:20:09
Well primarily Ben I'd prefer owners who go the game and not stay away number crunchers who appoint financial gurus to interfere with footballing issues. I'd prefer owners who have the etiquette and good grace to attend the final game of a club legend. Owners who invest in the team and not individuals who fit 'hedge' criteria. Owners who employ a manager befitting of LFC status not a mouthpiece with a failed CV backed up with an academic dossier.

14 Jul 2015 01:35:26
Yeah ozone it's not like they have other business to attend to. That Red Sox team is a pretty small team they can be ignored. Oh wait. I do appreciate that you're old fashioned ozone and that you want what's best for the club, but I think you're clutching at straws. Sterling needed to go. He's on 200k a week now. You think even if he wanted to stay we could match that?

13 Jul 2015 22:58:56
Ed001, has Yaya left?

{Ed001's Note - you didn't say anything about leaving, you asked about petulance. Yaya is on 250k a week and still showing it and trying to get a move away.}

14 Jul 2015 06:21:14
Finally we are getting somewhere Ozone. So we need owners like Mike Ashley? He goes to every game. As far as investment goes, you need to drag yourself out of the last decade where sugar daddies could splurge to their hearts content. Clubs are required to work within the boundaries of FFP, which I'm sure you are aware we have pushed to the limit. Your obsession with hedges, whilst touching, ignores the simple fact that on field success generated the biggest returns for the owners. CL revenue, sponsorship deals etc will provide better returns than the fantastic 'resale value' that the likes of Aspas bring in. They have made mistakes from a footballing perspective, but they do not dictate the footballing and transfer activity day to day. Yes, they have stuck (wrongly IMO) with Rodgers, but that aside, tell me who fits your criteria as better owners?

14 Jul 2015 06:52:13
Rodgers and Pascoe have not been in the job for 8 years?
Assistant manager of Swansea is a different job with different requirements to Assistant manager of LFC.

Surely even you can accept this Ozone?

14 Jul 2015 07:21:28
Mr Yoxall, Ings is NOT free.

14 Jul 2015 23:57:13
I'm with you wiwar1000 - The reality is (and no doubt i'll get slated for this), we're just not one of the big clubs anymore. We are comparable to Spurs. And there is a big difference between spurs and the top 4 last season. Not only do we not have the quality the top four from last season had, we don;t have a business model that seeks to ensure we are in the top four, at all costs. Players see this! and they know that ultimately Liverpool isn't going to win squat, so they leave. Can you blame them? It's bloody depressing but it's the truth. We are Liverpool -why on earth do we have a manager that came from Swansea and hadn't really proven himself?!! Why do we buy strikers from a relegated team, or the likes of lambert? So DaveyBootle, you're damn right i doubt FSG, cause as a fan I want tropheys and they aren't fighting for them.
