i already have an idea. I must confess, i added my earlier remark with a tinge of sarcasm given the fact that some of us have taken to cole as if he is indeed worth the $$ in wages.


crap, i too was like that when some unbelievale australian winger joined us back then, only to have $$$ coffers burned in the end.

Bring back Sami Hyypia in some capacity, it will pacify some LFc fan.


Benny deal is endorsed by the board. Rafa did say he can go (due to his constain internal noise that he should start more often)

Even rafa got the sax, Benny could still renegade his move but choose not , since it's THE current English league champions, Why would he not turn it down. (remember the " Pls come for me plea " beforehand .

i'm reading some FB post that in the mist of joe cole announcement, a news in tandem was sneaked under the radar that future ticket prices for LFc games had gone up. of course this wont affect LFC fans outside UK, but the repercussion in LFc grounds may be different.

So much promises of starting a new ground but not even a spade was shoved, & the cost for to support LFC will hurt a little more to fans in UK.

joe cole is likely to be rivalled by offers in salary from others but i guess he wanted guarentee to start more often. (if he stays out of treatment room)

but i dont think he's as bad as sickly as our ex 'the name shall not be named again" no.7

RH may have just pulled a rabbit (joe) out of the hat. Though it's his England team mates (gerrard & Carra) to may have persuaded the once 'lost' miraculé may have the stage to blossom.

It may well be the incentive key players, including javier M to stay. If cole stays off the treatment table, he would get my nod over benny anytime.

I happen to watch some moments on astro (Liverpool TV of the evan years) not your goal clips but some style of plays that had so many forumers here enamoured of Liverpool (well, judging from the post & back then the daglish era or those predates that, they werent born yet)

It showed a lot passing & creative play that houllier had to abandon mainly because post mcmanaman, barnes, rush, LFC inherited a leaky awful defence of evans days, LFc had to employ almost high balls, bypassing midfield more than half the time for owen/heskey to chase. (at time even titi camara did too).
Evans LFc boys plays intelligent & many times almost breach to win the ONE but its was always the awful defending that had us & opposition scoring at will.

I dont know how one could appreciate that of LFc (while i understood houllier/thompson had to rid of leaky defence & at that time football tactics is becoming much much sophisticated, from the usual 4-4-2 & 4-3-3.

I respected what houllier had to overhaul but tactically he will be really out of sorts now, given the lack of post LFc. (please I'm not against houllier (to those Pro Houllier/anti Rafa) but his continued decision to stick to owen/heskey gave the LFC too 1 dimensional




sigh

RH is under pressured by the BOD now to give a good showing in next couple of games, even if it means sacrificing & bring in players who were exhausted in WC.
(in the news, LFc medical says no to those england trio, (but upstairs is preassuring) RH says they are ready)

We are selling club. it shows why we need to sell to buy (players). its has always been like this since the duo sip interest off LFC.

no left back. no real good one in sight.



it seem its no different in either during RB era and now on RH lap. at least RH just nod at the board's tyranny & wont complain (polly just walk with tail down ).

for that i do agree,

what RH has now is a lions den, given the expectations of the club's ambitions, He as the club's manager very well has the capacity to work with what is at LFC, he can very well scupper insua deal until a proper left back is coming in, BUT no... we always said RH is powerless in tht, com'on, its then an indication is just a figurehead manager who listens/obeys to LFc board then.

if masch stays, I pretty sure we will do better than the freak blimp season we had. (We came in to last season without a proper orchestrating midfielder, after alonso left & aquilani was still on the treatment table, & look we had the worse start in aeons, & we were very much in shambles, we then entered games during mid season with unnecessary risk (tactically) & didn't pay off, the rest as they say was history.

technically, we havent really bought anyone (really). & that the biff i pressume that some senior players has with LFC & not at RH (according to RH 'media's' response on whose might be staying, who might be off)

WELL, gerrard did have a better WC (over his other england teammates), carra + gerrard over the course of the whole season more often than not puts over 110% scousers bravery well when you average out the stats thye do.

the cowboys & their lies. if only they lived up to their promises.

as much as the 'others' bids, its been pretty much speculated that its a diversion/smokescreen to get potential bids up.

between the HK QSL & whealthy Sheikh, i would prefer the former.

Gary Ablett is in our thought & prayers. few of the heroes who may not be in high rememberence to some LFC fans but he was once LFc player & an unselfish one.
get well GA

'agressive manuvering' by kenny on the RBS debt but because G&H is on the LFC board, if they can somehow repay the debt (of course they probably wont use their own money but lets just say if they did) they can still sell to 'donkeys' (pardon the anology) other than the Huang's QSL group.

Huangs QSL sports portfolio seems pretty 'real' in getting 'business' into sports. from the news snippets of the basketball & the yankess. they (Huang's QSL bid) would represent A clear & present good news to the long suffering fans of LFc. it not some super rich oil man who has zero on sports business.

it would be no different from the silly mess we are today.

Money (even if borrowed) & no love for the LFC history & club, it would be a merry-go-round of stupidity owners.

No as fans, I would fan my disapproval.

building the stadium would represent they (new owners) would be in for the long haul. The downside would mean less emphasis on 'better' & further quantity reinforcements* (look at gunners) in which we would hope the our academy players comes good sooner then later.

also as much as the marketing dossier looks an uppeth notch over the cowboys, the long haul is opening a huge huge penetration into the china market. Success of 'Yao ming' in US for china is tremendous. I'm sure Huang's QSL is readily able to exploit that, if he is able to wrest control.


'REd Army', gives a whole new meaning if the situation does comes about

he is pretty much old school english rich. Britain in the recent times hasnt really produce new 'rich', (the forbes kind of super rich).

only the oil giants russians, the sheikhs (also oil), americans (the buffet, gates types) & probably some sports VC's abeit their whealth ain't as deep as the oil tycoons.

british rich ? even the queen isnt on high list.

thanks to the super splurges of chelsea, Man Utd, Man City, RMadrid <tis takes the cake, the meaning of taking club to the next level is completely mind blowing.

now thats a credible thought. he was never too bad of a manager, i'm sure at IM he has a hard act to follow & should prove detractors wrong.

Kenny Huang... did his parents, pool fans? that would be ironic

I was able to cherish the earlier LFc heights & the most heartbreak Lfc game I ever watched. losing 1-2 to arsenal. Micheal Thomas killed us

there are a lot of senior players not quite happy about Liverpools position (ownership). they & I can say ALL who was involved in 90% first team games are Happy & they know they are playing in the BEST club in Britain if not the world. (bar benny)

they dont hate or blame RH & they already knew last seasons blip is in part their own doing. The other part they have given 200% to their games but circumtances cant change when the team had lack of reasonable cover to senoir players when they were injured/dip in form.

Maybe there is an about turn in the fate of his move/heart (like insua's to italy).





on the issue of selling the club, yy biggest fear is the G&H owners are going sell to new 'donkeys' (owners who has zero sense in sports business) as if its a bloody musical chairs.

of course some argue its the job of Purslow to seek further commercial investments but as owners/ or in the capacity on the Liverpool Directors it is upmost that a sustainable and consistency to the health of the club in finance or growth.

If it goes true, lets hope tht Huangs QSL isnt another false dawn (doubt the other bids are as genuine or just a smokescreen ala being a friend of G&H). Huangs QSL don't look as deep pockets as RA or glazer, or the ManCity's owners. Just hope they are as savvy in helping to finance purchases when it counts.

if this is true, Fak you G & H, you only have profit & NEVER had any interest & passion to the club, & if the backdoor maneuver is also true; You dosh Are a Fkaing disgrace & those ever who supported you .
