When in fact, before the World Recension they didn't have enough to pay for it. They couldn't even afford to buy the club with capital, but bought the club with loans. Loans they couldn't afford to pay back, and to take out an other loan to buy a stadium. Also they promised not to buy the club with debts. But, oh wait. They did.
Oh they
promised! How old are you? Sometimes businessmen aren't entirely honest, big fucking deal. Despite having no money they still gave Benitez the funds for several ~£20m players, rather than spending the money on debts.
I highly doubt they would have sacked Hodgson. He hardly opposed them, and they didn't give a fuck about the club. Just as long as they fucked off and got there profit. And if we sold Torres, it would have went towards the interest payments that were due in October or the debt. Not reinvested in the squad. And thats if we weren't in the hands off administrators. And I'am reserving my judgment about the net spend this summer, and am going to re assure you it will be a massive summer financially.
Of course they didn't give a fuck about the club, why would you expect them to? Do you think NESV give a fuck about the club? No, it's just a bit of nice publicity. You say if you sold Torres it would have just gone towards interest payments, but why would that be? Their previous track record shows that they give all the money recouped from transfers to Benitez, with a bit more on top.
Rooney. Do you think it is good, when owners buy the club with around £250 Million loan and then struggle to pay off the interest of the loan, then use Player sales to attempt to pay them off? And then spending less money to make the squad better? Liverpool were hours away from administration. All Rafa's fault wasn't it.
They never used player sales to pay off debts, if they did your total net spend would have been negative.
And, Funny how they had the funds to pay the debt off on the day the club was sold, and never before eh?
We can't really judge a businessplan they never got the chance to implement.
Rafa was used as a scapegoat, and the media fucking love every moment off it. Funny how Rupert Murdoch's Sky Sports gave Mr Hicks an interview, and it was the most staged publicity stunt I have seen in years. With his Stadium plans hanging on the wall, his puppy eyes and his blaming off Rafa and that Martin Broughton was a Chelsea fan, so he was against the club and other shite. The media especially Murdoch media outlets defending the cunts at every stop.
Yes, Rafa did have some poor buys, but he was under a sell to buy policy. Every manager does. But he had some excellent ones. I still don't get how people work out that it was all Rafa's fault.
Oh what a surprise, there's a media conspiracy against Liverpool. Of course Hicks tries to portray himself in a positive light, what do you expect? THe conspiracy's imaginary, but if it were real, maybe you should stop this vicious campaign to hurt the profits of the Murdoch media.
By the way, I don't think Benitez was a poor manager, I think you overachieved in most of the seasons he was there, but his vilification of the owners was very unprofessional, and his job wasn't nearly as difficult as you make out.

He dictated the game and was at the centre of everything. Because of him being able to dictate the game from deep Gerrard had the freedom to attack getting the best out of him which in turn brought the best out of Torres with their partnership. And Alonso could focus on his game because Mascherano had him and the defense covered. It was a team where everybody could rely on eachother to do their job which brought the best out of everyone.
Don't forget why you lost him, in 2008 Benitez tried to flog him to Juventus and replace him with Mr. Mediocre, Gareth Barry.
Kaka11|LFC wrote:How can you compare Liverpool to Man United you twat? You already had an established top class team, Benitez had to build from scratch meaning he had to spend to get quality, how thick can you get.
How can you compare Benitez's situation to Dalglish's, they worked under different owners you moron, Dalglish has been given money to spend by FSG, he doesn't have to sell players to get transfer money.
An established top class team, eh?
2003/04, the season before Benitez took over we didn't even win the Premier League, finishing 3rd.
2004/05, we finished third against, while Liverpool won the European Cup
2005/06, what happened, what was the points gap between Liverpool and United? 1 point
That doesn't look like a top class team up against a Liverpool who had to 'build from scratch', it looks like two teams at a similar level. In 2006 Ferguson's 'Net Spend', a term you people never shut up about, was £-4m and Benitez's was £9m, but because Ferguson made shrewder signings, and is a better manager than Benitez, we won the Premier League and finished over 20 points clear of you.
Dalglish has a net spend of £100,000 so far.
