These are the simple facts. We cannot compete with Newcastle, Chelsea, Man City, PSG and Real Madrid in the transfer market under our current owners. We’ve spent a bomb but it’s all come direct from sponsorship, Tv, match day and merchandise revenue. When I say compete I mean for players like Haaland and Mbappe. The best of the best. With Liverpool potentially been taken over too we could find ourselves well behind again. Do I want oil money running the club? Of course not, will I take it? Of course.
Yes, finally someone gets it.
All good and well toeing the morality line whilst ignoring sponsors, investment, current owner, potential other new owner morality issues and because this one is more spoken about or present in the media its the one that you specifically don't want but in the grand scheme of things its not just Liverpool.
Spurs are also the subject of increased interest and even met with the QIA, not only that, the prospective investors or owners of liverpool would be Qatar. Expect some of the non selected to invest in them if they dont land us.
Not only that, you have wealthy individuals already in place at other clubs and clubs like Everton are for sale also.
Trust me, if we do not get the wealth in now, and the investment isnt LARGE and more powerful than the others in the league we will absolutely slip into obscurity as a past giant unable to compete.
This isnt Seria A or La Liga, the premier league is the super league, the wealth of clubs is hitting critical mass. Unless you are in the top 5/4 wealthiest clubs in the world you simply will not be competing regardless of morals or history.
If you are that concerned with it all you should have supported FC United of Manchester years ago like many others did when the Glazers came in.
Its a bit late to plead the moral high ground.
Just to finish on this, you will absolutely see 100m become a regular fee for players and I fully expect well see 150m or 200m players in the coming summer.
Enzo is a decent player, but hes not 130m good, it doesn't matter about the quality of the individual, the market dictates price and with the wealth of clubs like Toon and Chelsea unless we get an owner like Qatar we will absolutely slip into top 10 territory its a plain fact.
