Don't mince. Us against the world mentality posing as the best with an authoritarian club tone is different from Mourinho's victim toned dito.
Then why bother reading this thread?
Anything but actually. His best games for us came against either top opposition or big stake matches.
Do they think it will escape UEFA's attention if they don't report it?
It'll make the meltdowns when he is still here even funnier.
might actually grab the bubbly if this Fellaini thing materialises 
They'll move 10 points clear at the top of that list by time the window closes.
Fellaini for £10M is excellent value imo.
You can't be serious. Not only it is there to prevent the build-up of unsustainable debt mainly through reckless spending, it adds guard rails to maintain a competitive balance throughout the sport, as not every club can be bankrolled with trillions of family fortune.
So you'd be happy if Jeff Bezos got bored running Amazon, came in and bought Liverpool then proceeded to spend £2billion in one transfer window? Then again in the next window if they weren't top of the league?
FFP is to ensure clubs don't spend more than they have so we don't have clubs going bankrupt, it's not stupid at all.
Can't bring myself to accept this. If a club can drag themselves up and earn what they have, that's great. If they get some help then that's ok if it keeps things competitive, but if one or two clubs are just handed near limitless funds then it just ruins the fun and true competitive nature of the sport for me.
I mean, you could do that in any sport and I'd feel the same way. Where is the point of a sport if it becomes influenced to a major extent by billionaires who want to play their own games? I genuinely don't really count Man City's title wins as being title wins for them. I consider it to be Mansour wins because he could have literally taken any soulless club and done exactly the same thing. They ceased being Man City after they'd changed basically everything about the club and personnel.
If there were some ways to ensure he'd have to use his personal income/properties as securities against liverpool's debt, sure. Why not.
Before you reply maybe you should understand the context I was replying too. Did I say that we should not spend? I was only referring to the point that the owners might be a bit cautious not tight with the money. Goodness me.
He's so rich he could pay the release clause for every Barcelona and real Madrid player. You think that'd be good for football do you?
I don't care. If he has that money and is willing to spend it, good for him, and his club. I don't particularly care for competitive balance. It doesn't exist anyways and never did. And i'd watch every liverpool game if they put a team of modric-kroos-pogba-messi-neymar-cristiano on the pitch
We're so rich we could buy every single West Ham player. Is that good for football?
The implication of your statement is that United should donate a portion of their revenue with poorer teams as that would be good for football.
might actually grab the bubbly if this Fellaini thing materialises
There is definitely something in this.
I don't think you'll be able to see much from inside a bin.
Nah. Mahrez is a winger with goals, great dribbler
But we couldn't buy every West ham player so the foundation of your argument is bollocks.
Of course all players contributed. Still, he scored some important goals for us in arguably the most important games of the season. He was excellent towards the final stages of the EL. Check his stats in the EL final.
Just because he is not Iniesta, Pirlo or Scholes doesn't mean he has to get all the hate, especially from our fans.
It has been a long time since I saw a tweet about a player close to us.
Hope Juve aren't briefing this to Italian journalists like they did with Fabinho.
Clubs don't have to follow it.
Malachians was right then.
I'm sorry, i don't get the joke
So matic it is then. Mourinho likes to weaken rivals.
Happy with Matic he's far better than Fellaini. Much needed midfield reinforcement, I think we could do with another CM on top of him as well.
Of course we could. We've spent £500m in 4 years and their best player of the last 10 years left for around £25m.
We could comfortably buy their entire team.
That implication does not follow at all, although we kind of are already with the UK TV deal. We have states backing football teams and playing a game of international keeping up with the Jonses. This is way beyond some teams having a bit more cash than others.
Also, we really couldn't buy the whole West Ham team for a whole host of reasons.
I think I appreciated what your reply was meant to be quite well. If i were in the room with the Glazers and one of them raised the same doubts you had, then this would be my reply. If it's a harsh tone that's because this truth should sting the owners. They miscalculated how quickly the money would flow into the sport w other teams in under investing before SAF retired. They screwed up monumentally hiring DM. Now They are on the cusp of making or breaking this business in the short term and need a shake up.
I say short term because we are fortunate to have become the most successful club in England during a golden period of globalization. It's allowed us to build a worldwide fanbase larger than the clubs I mentioned as warning. This will extend our period of grace but shouldn't be seen as an excuse to cut corners.
And there it is. The obligatory SS breaking news.
How come it seems like a club of our size can only work on one deal at a time?
Lindelof - time passes - Lukaku - time passes - Matic (?) - time passes?
Can't we multi task??
