The scousers would just cry about the media not giving them any respect and still proclaim that year as their year.
They are a very rich club who outbid us on wages for Clyne and Ings and whose income will grow next year with the new stand.

Yes it will but when you look at us hopefully getting CL next season and in a few years almost doubling our capacity I honestly think we'll be in a better financial position.
Commercially, they kill us and will for a long time to come. Ings and Clyne would make the same choice and opt for no European football given the wages on offer.

Undoubtedly, and the lack of relative success in recent years hasn't stopped them from being able to get good sponsorship deals. I just wonder how long can they keep that up?
I grew up and live in north wales where Liverpool has a very strong following and up until recently was a teacher. In my time I saw less and less children declare themselves as fans of Liverpool as City and Chelsea became more popular due to success and the players they could bring in. If their fanbase starts to shrink then they won't be able to secure the big sponsorships. If they can't attract that money then there is less money to spend on players and wages.
Also money for a club like Liverpool will buy you the Bentekes and Ballotellis but whilst they have only finished in a top five place once in the last eight season (and don't forget anything out of the top five doesn't guarantee any European competition) they won't get the true world class players as they will want to go somewhere they can win trophies. That's why i think there top players could look to leave. Why play for Liverpool with good wages when I could go to a Madrid or PSG and have a good wage and actually compete for a trophy and play in the CL?

Fans will be turning against each other more with those who walked out and those who stayed no doubt!
Think he means 7 seasons.
Anyway, Spurs over that 7 season span:
2(currently), 5, 6, 5, 4(fuck you, chelsea!), 5, 4

Exactly! We might be a few million down, but we didn't blow all the money like its often portrayed.

Anyone else find the Nivea commercial increasingly funny ?
Buy our face cream...the 9th best team in the country uses it.
Actually I can imagine it selling (being stolen) like hotcakes (hubcaps) in Liverpool as the store security guards won't be able to properly grip the till dodgers as they try to leave the shop...in hindsight it's a brilliant move by the Nivea marketing team.
