    The City of Liverpool

    Should be going out of their way to make sure LFC has all the right conditions for success. It is something I have always thought about, I know some people may think thats a bit rich coming from somone who doesn't even live in Liverpool, but the stats are there for all to see. Big Cities like Milan, Barcelona, Madrid all benefit from their clubs being successfull, especially in European Competitions. For example, the City of Madrid know exactly how important Real are to their economy, so much so that they will try their best to help them write off their debts even if it means buying their training complex off them and then just giving it back to them for free. Seen this quote today and it made me think, why dont the city wise up to this, why not use LFC in a good way, instead of creating obstacles, I know, it has alot to do with local councils. Im not sure If Anfield area is part of Liverpool City Council or whatever. But I would have thought that those at the top would have the vision to see that if they can help this great team with success on the pitch, they will get back what they put in, many times over, and thats fact. Here is the piece anyway.

    A study for sponsors Mastercard, claims that whoever wins this season's Champions League competition will net up to £68million, a figure which excludes additional prize money from UEFA and gate receipts.

    KRC Research also discovered that the winning team's home city also receives a large cash injection. It is claimed that the city of Liverpool benefited to the tune of £47m last year following our success in the competition.

    With Liverpool having now progressed to the group stages of the Champions League, you can see just how important qualification is. Even if we fail to lift the trophy in Athens on May 23rd, we'll still rake in millions just by participating.

    'Take that poof bandage off, and what do you mean YOUR knee, it's LIVERPOOL'S knee !'

    "Sorry, boss, I should have kept my legs together," said Lawrence. "No, Tommy, your mother should have kept her legs together!," replied Shankly.

      Not sure Kaip, but i'd like to see the results. Im sure LFC has brought in countless millions to the city over the years, and i'd imagine LFC was a big part of the reason Liverpool got awarded European Capital of Culture, wonder how much the city would benefit from that.

        I reckon that for the Derby this year, both teams should allow their number 8's to wear 08 instead…no…wait...
