Some have a lot more of it than others too.
Working down in Andy Moran country this week, pal.
Sorry to hear that
Klopp has done a fantastic job with Liverpool and its nearly impossible to argue otherwise. In three full seasons they’ve gone from basically where Mufc, Chelsea and arsenal are right now to genuine title contenders and won a European cup. The team is brilliant to watch, young and still improving.
Has Mike Hunt ran away after his lies were exposed?
You haven’t been here long have you
I’ve looked in from time to time and now follow threads where possible for the last few months. Tricky enough to keep following without an account so I took the plunge a few months back.
We definitely need @mikehunt to clarify if he is comparing Liverpool’s net transfer spend with other clubs’ total spend anyway.
I have posted links to the relevant figures before.
I think he might have drowned in his sea of deceit. All we ask is that he is honest with forum.
A good start to the season was important but I can’t see them staying out of a relegation battle with these figures.

game, set and match.
Chelsea have had a net spend of £94m since Klopp took over. They have an EPL, Europa League and FA Cup in that time and have changed manager 4 times.
Klopp has had a net spend of £89m since taking over. He would never have lasted nearly 3.5 seasons without a trophy at a top club.
When Klopp took over, Liverpool had finished 25 points behind Chelsea. Four years later Liverpool finished 25 points ahead of Chelsea. A 50 point turnaround in 4 years despite spending less. Incredible from Klopp.
When Klopp took over Liverpool, Chelsea were hovering above the relegation zone. They changed managers and the new appointed for the next season brought the team from a 10th place finish to the title in his first season. He followed that up with a cup the next season and got the sack.
There’s no license to fail at Chelsea. The Liverpool job is one of the handiest in football, license to fail, no pressure.
Chelsea finished twenty five points behind Liverpool last season.
Not to mention Chelsea already had one of the best squads in the league when klopp took over
They won a trophy for the third straight season.
So had Liverpool.
