Utd - Liverpool post match

[SimonNo7]

The club has turned a profit on players yes they were replaced with assets of lesser quality..that is stripping..so to follow your argument then it is fine to sell Gerrard Torres and Reina and replace them with dozy dick and harry

As for managers being professional hahahaha Hodgson couldnt believe his luck when he was offered the job at his age and standing of course he took it knowing he would have to do as he was told...

Hang on, where are the assets of lesser quality? As I said Poulsen for Mascha yes but nowhere else can I see assets of lesser quality, ie Cole for Benny, I think we got an much more valuable asset there!

To be honest I always thought asset stripping was selling off profitable areas and not replacing them at all.

Your last comment I shouldn't even respond but basically you are saying that managers are not professional... ok. Perhaps Rafa couldn't believe his luck when Inter came calling and he took it knowing he would have to do as he was told...

[Tatterdemalion]

They can't sell it so what do LBO professionals do? Sell off the more valuable assets and hope that increased revenue streams (new TV deal) will be in place so that net present value (NPV) of the club shows a sufficient profit on their personal liens to the club.

To begin with you don't make a profit on lien. That's ****ing collateral

And as for 'educashun', well let's leave that one - I'm very well educated thank you.

the profit on Lien is simply explained to someone of your stature.

The KopCayman account that has loaned funds to LFC at 10% over Libor is in fact held in Lien on behalf of the 2 git owners and this is where they are milking the club. In Lien is the collateral of the funds put up by the Yanks initially plus the skim or added interest fees that are added.
So no you dont make profit on Lien but the special purpose vehicle that was created to milk a turn on the interest rate paid out by LFC over and above the one they are charged.

I guess I'm not that impressed at your level of education because of your irreverand use of the word bollocks which in turn seriously embarasses you

Carry on Einstein - you're doing so well.

Need to win the next five.

Nah, four wins and a draw would be a good run and acceptable. Looking at city and Spurs fixtures over next five games we could easily be 4th soon enough.

[Mr Darko]

Need to win the next five.

That's doesn't sound too difficult either. We won these corresponding fixtures last season when Torres and Gerrard weren't playing their best. Now with Cole playing I think we can't do any worse...

LFC 3-0 Sunderland
LFC *-* Blackpool // Should win comfortably
Everton 0-2 LFC
LFC 2-1 Blackburn
Bolton 2-3 LFC

Need to win the next five.

Ummm........

[Neil Young]

We were pretty ****. It's too depressing to contemplate further.

He says that bringing on a striker was good, but its a pity that all we have available striker wise is N'Gog. Would you rather have seen Babel than N'Gog? in which case -why? N'Gog has 6 goals so far this season.

Yeah, but he did nothing when he came on, just ran around a bit.

[vonk]

well Roy wasnt taking maxi off and putting an unamed striker off was he he took maxi off and but ngog in.

so not sure what your point is?

I'm saying that taking Maxi off and putting a striker on in his place was a good idea. Shame that striker was Ngog, though.

Somebody shoot Nani in the face, please. Utter cunt!

Taking Maxi off and putting on a striker was good. Shame NGog is not up to it though. He contributed nothing except maybe making someone mark him.

[vonk]

Isn't it funny how much more dangerous Torres looked when he had a striker partner? He won a penalty and a free kick because he was able to stretch their centre backs apart. Why? Because he had less players marking him and he wasn't outnumbered. He was properly supported.

[vonk]

Your right, sorry!

Where has he asset stripped?

If you are talking about Mascherano, the guy wanted to leave. I agree we maybe haven't brought in as good a player but we haven't bought in a complete dud in Poulsen plus we have brought in Meireles. If you are talking about Benny we've brought in Cole, Insua we re-signed Aurelio and brought in Konchesky (IMO a better player than Insua although I would of rather Insua stayed as back-up) and finally Riera who sealed his own fate but I would agree we haven't exactly replaced him. The only place I can see asset stripping is clearing out some of the reserves who weren't really good enough.

Now if you go to the profit on transfers then because of the state the club is in (because of the owners not Roy Hodgson) what we have actually done makes perfect sense.
I'm afraid your idea that Hodgson is just a yes man could be cast on any manager that took the job. They are professionals who look at the job on offer and do what they need to do.
