We spent 20 mill net this summer. You want "loads of money" we should probably look at City - what was their netspend?

http://talksport.com/football/premi...five-summer-transfer-windows-150903165355?p=9

We spend 127 mill the past 5 years - Scum is at 268 mill.

What about salaries?

We might be able to get Benteke at 32 mill but we only get him because non of the others want him. Then we pay him what - 130K a week? TOP 3 pays 200.000 a week to a host of players. Isn't it a fact that the club with the highest salary cap has won 95% of the PL titles?

US
Turnover 5th highest, £256m (up from £206m in 2013)
Gate and matchday income £51m
TV and broadcasting £101m
Commercial activities £104m
Wage bill 5th highest, £144m (up from £132m in 2013)
Wages as proportion of turnover 56%
Profit before tax £1m (following £50m loss in 2013)



SCUM
Turnover 1st highest, £433m (up from £363m in 2012)
Gate and matchday income £108m
TV and broadcasting £136m
Commercial activities £189m
Wage bill 1st highest, £215m (up from £181m in 2013)
Wages as proportion of turnover 50%
Profit before tax £41m (following £9m loss in 2012)

These numbers will only get worse without the CL footy.

I think it's safe to say it is NOT a level playing field.

Not for Ancelloti and not for FSG.

We've spent 291 mill since 2012. We should be competing no matter how much Utd, City and Chelsea can dish out in wages.
Our squad has cost nearly double of Atletico Madrid and more than Bayern.
If we had some brains with our recruitment we'd be challenging regardless of a wage structure behind the top 3 in England.
 
Its probably also worth pointing out that having won the league title in Italy in 2004 the following year was the match fixing scandal and Milan finished second behind Juventus who were subsequently stripped of their title. While Milan were implicated it wasnt to the same level and the board involvement was said to not have directly affected results whereas we know for Juventus it clearly did.
Milan the following year were deducted points and Inter given a position of some strength in the league resulting in the best period in their history with 5 league victories.

Ancelotti had nothing to do with that, and but for the points deduction who knows what he could have achieved.

As it was he still turned them back into European contenders playing 2 finals in 3 years and winning 1.

Exactly right. It's a losing preposition regardless. This ship isn't sailing without a better gate revenue and sponsor deals. We are about 200 mill £ short a year to be serious contenders. The only quick fix is if FSG dumps us somewhere in the middle east. Unfortunately I think that is not that far off.

I think it's obvious that the "money ball" philosophy doesn't really work in 'Soccer' and with FFP off the table they have little reason to stay.

I think their mentality will be to pull out if they can't win trophies - and they can't with Liverpool. Not the once that counts. Not in the next 4 years at least.

I don't understand why Dubai has to wait with the takeover until the Stadium is build. Why would that matter at all? It would be easy to put a deal together that take the stadium overhaul into account.

Forget Dubai that is total bollocks - they are skint and can barely pay their debts.

I seriously doubt we could consistently but I love the attitude. 🙂

I see no fair hope until the revenue is up and we can even out the salaries compared to top 4.
 
I hate the knocking of Ancelotti in saying he's only managed big clubs.
Why didn't Klopp get the Real Madrid job then?
 
LFC might not be on the same level as the biggest European clubs but we still have very substantial means.

While so many of our rivals waste their superior resources (especially Utd and Arsenal) then we really should be doing better.
