Fourth Place

[kingfunk]

All I know is that if we do not qualify for the champiuons league we are ****ed with a capital F, It will be a disaster of the highest order that will set us back years. We better turn this around and very fast. If we dont win any of our next two games Rafa has to go, no question about it. If we finish 5th we might aswell finish 10th while a new top manager gets to grips with the squad and knows what changes to make in the summer, who konws a new manager like Hiddink might turn it around and guide us to a CL spot. It hurts but sometimes you need to kill a little piece of yourself to survive.

that's a complete over reaction mate.

Im not sure it is, Even if the Owners decide to spend some cash in the summer, No top players will want to come to us, the top players that we have will want champions league football. All we can hope for is Villa, Spurs and city to implode for the second half of the season.

[Tatterdemalion]

So our entire future rests with making the champions league for next season?

Investment is the key in the short term not finsihing 4th, it's if the promised investment doesn't come that we are ****ed, and not one season out of europe.

we have to finish 4th purely for the reason that it brings £millions in revenue from the champions league

Yes, but the loss of one seasons millions from Europe is no where near as important as getting this promised investment.

If these investors that are "keen" according to Purslow aren't reliant on us finishing 4th THIS season, which i doubt they are, but are more concerned with getting the stadium built then that's what will make a long term difference to this club, not one season out of europe, however bad a prospect it sounds now.

as for the loss of millions it's as important ......ain't nobody going to invest in the club ! i mean what for ....while the club is out of the champions league more or less and more debts and idiot co owners

Till we know either way we'll just have to carry on as we are, but believe me, investment is the key, no investment means that finishing in europe this season would only delay the inevitable, we WILL be overtaken, sure we'll get top 4 now and then, but we won't dominate that position any more, not with the funding we have now for players and this debt, not even if we make europe this season, the debt is crippling us.

I'm more worried about keeping Rafa as our manager than finishing 4th.
**** 4th,i want rafa to stay.
I'm the only one who will want it this way.
One season without a top 4 position will not kill us.
Might make those cunt owners realise they need to spend big to keep up with the rest.

[Bender]

tbh mate nobody wants to invest as they are only being offered a minority stake and put off by sky high valuation of the club ..... we have had countless potential investors but all walk away

Well then, ultimately, H&G will have to go then, if there's no possibility of THEM building the stadium i don't see them staying, certainly not both of them anyway.

Also if as you say nobody wants to invest in lfc, then that makes Purslow a liar.

Of course I want us to finish fourth, but I believe the youth system Rafa is building will come good, and potential new signings like Chamack and Turan sounds promising (if we can pull it off). This combined with a season where our key players stay injury free for most parts would make us see what we really can do.

They ain't going though ........why have clubs like Qpr,Arsenal had new investors when they could have bought lfc becuase them 2 yanks won't sell ....and they value the club too high therefore turning investors away
