Premiership Games 21 & 22 January 2012

[SimonNo7]

good 2nd half

Sounded it from the radio updates, especially the four goal spell.

[Liverpool]

Jeez, you write some crap at times.

fancy telling me the difference between his and ours?

[Craig_H]

so you want us to become a selling club? we havent got an eye for bringing young players in and selling them high, we havent got CL football to make up for lower wages like Arsenal, Arse being in London have a greater scope for matchday revenue, apart from that it seems like a perfect fit for us

I think we've been a selling club in the last four or five years anyway.

If the option is be a selling club and dont get into the CL, or be a selling club and qualify for it year in, year out....i'll take the latter, ta.

[Imy]

Jeez, you write some crap at times.

Supporting the manager with large transfers, gambling on future CL qualification?

[Muddled]

our current strategy is pretty similar to Risdales he just wasnt very good at it

Not really, we've been very active in slashing our wage bill and cutting our losses with well paid reserves or deadwood. Risdale offered stupid wages - at least 40% higher than needed to ensure players went to Leeds.

We still have the draw that we are Liverpool FC, rather than the money involved. For how long? Well, that's another debate.

Ballotelli is class.

Wow! You are honestly saying we are doing a Ridsdale?

[lickedlollipop]

fantastic game that was

[Liverpool]

Wow! You are honestly saying we are doing a Ridsdale?

its the same plan, just differently done, noone said were doing a risdale

[Gibbo]

If our signings had come off no-one would be saying we was doing a Risdale.

I think we really need to change our transfer strategy though, but that's for another thread

[Imy]

[Chris]

its the same plan, just differently done, noone said were doing a risdale

What a load of bollocks. They couldnt afford what they were paying out, theres absolutely no suggestion thats the case with us. Infact the wage bill would have come down after the summer, theres was going up and up.

This is worse than your sell Glen Johnson and sign Onouha call.

[Muddled]

You missed the bit about paying inflated wages to incite them to the club.

The majority of that is your standard business blurb; buzz-words with little substance.

We have a larger fan base, larger revenue streams and a better infrastructure then - and now - to what Leeds have ever had.

[Liverpool]

What a load of bollocks. They couldnt afford what they were paying out, theres absolutely no suggestion thats the case with us.

hence why its the same plan but done differently?
