When do people think we'll become a top successful club again, realistically now?

[Suarez]

Well quite frankly, I think this complete bollocks, outside the UK generally people don't give a ****, and in Uruguay we have certainly become extremely popular.

And if we believe that Suarez is genuinely innocent then selling out like that would be low.

Well, you have your opinion I have mine

We certainly don't make a great deal of money from the likes of Uraguay. Believing that Suarez is innocent has nothing to do with it, its not how the rest of the media see it and thats going to damage us on the commercial front immensely. There will be a lot of pressure to remove the damage from this season and I believe that will start with the sale of Suarez.

Whilst the rest of the world might not care too much, the money generated from the UK is our bread and butter and new sponsors will want the club cleaned up before giving their name in multimillion pound deals.

Fans of Uruguay are naturally going to be supportive of Luis, while large multinational corporations like Standard Chartered are going to be concerned recent events.

Not really, we make our money across the whole world, not in some British isolation despite what the ignorance of the British media will have you believe.

whole world > uruguay

[RichC]

That is true, but that squad needs to be better than what Downing and Carroll can offer.

agreed.

I still hope and think this was the first part, get players in strengthen the depth and add some extra quality this Summer.

Mess we were in it was always going to take a couple of seasons

Think you'll find that the whole world outside of the UK generally don't care either.

I agree, but I still worry that we have gone sideways not forward.

the fact our owners and sponsors have got involved suggests that they do?

[RichC]

We've got rid of a lot of dead wood and however poorly some of the players have settled in I'd rather have Downing, Carroll, Enrique, Henderson, Coates and Doni over The Konk, Poulsen, N'gog, El Zhar etc......

Merieles was a shame but he wanted to go

I am pretty sure that was actually a false rumour not fact.

The majority of money comes from matchday and broadcasting revenue, with the majority of broadcasting revenue coming from Sky UK, so yes, the UK is actually quite important.

For the most part yes, it is that Downing and Carroll have too much been starters and Henderson isn't really read yet.
Enrique has been a great buy and Coates is a great prospect.

But for the money we could have gotten far more quality and have been in a better position imo, that is why I am so frustrated.

Which is a fixed payment across the division and not going to change for us only

[Suarez]

I am pretty sure that was actually a false rumour not fact.

"Ian Ayre kept Standard Chartered fully informed of developments over the course of the weekend," said a statement from Liverpool.

"The actions the club decided to take on Sunday were supported by Standard Chartered."

The bank yesterday confirmed they had held dialogue with the Anfield officials, expressing
their concerns.

"We were very disappointed by Saturday's incident
and have discussed our concerns with the club," said a statement from Standard Chartered.

oh right i thought ayre, kenny and suarez all issuing apologies/statements was because of that. fair enough
