something here? Haven't won **** all in a decade, regularly finish below us, and even after the stinker of a season we just had they only finished 1 point above us. Same can be said for Spurs (minus the points bit).
Bunch of ****s.

Ummm, haven't you said you want him out? So presumably you think it would be the desirable outcome for Spurs and Liverpool (and indeed every other club) for him to stay :shrug:Quote:

I assume that the Scousers believe that Klopp will now improve the squad with the money the media seem to think he has to spend and that Wenger will do what he's done for the past 10 years or so; buy very few players while continuing to place his faith in those players that so regularly let him down.
On that basis, I can see their point.
Their wage bill is higher than ours and they've spent roughly the same amount in the last 2-3 seasons, maybe even more.Quote:

and that's before we give Sanchez and Ozil another 100K+ per week each.
And I was also referring to the quality of the squad that Klopp inherited, as much as the money that has been spent on fees.

It's relevant because our wage bill is about to significantly increase after having been consistently higher than Liverpool's for the past four years. I'd be surprised if any of Liverpool's players end up getting a 100k+ per week increase.Quote:

He inherited a mess BGS and to get them into the CL has been an excellent achievement.
Why is our wage bill about to go up??? I would assume that there is more than 50% chance both our "star" players could leave.. if they do are we going to sign anyone on 150k a week?? We could also lose a number of non playing squad players.Quote:

No one would have begrudged him signing last time round as the situation appeared to be made for him to take the club forward.Quote:

Yes, I'm guessing that Ozil and Sanchez stay. Ozil because I don't think there is much of a market for him and Sanchez because I think we'll pay what he wants. But who knows really.Quote:

I read somewhere that this new left back chap we've signed (also read that he was voted into the Bundesliga team of the year) is getting £140k a week, although him being a free transfer is probably a big factor in that.Quote:
