Souness has an interesting take on that time. Beardsley and Houghton wanted out but he made a mistake selling Staunton.
He also talks about how he had responsibility for resolving players contracts because âhe had done it at Rangersâ. A lot of upset apparently among existing players when Saunders arrived in on big bucks.
In all, he passed the book for a lot of what happened during that time.
go back to the 60âs. Paisley got Ron Yeats and Ian St John in for big money at the time and it all started from there
When were FFP rules introduced?
Before Liverpoolâs new owners wiped out hundreds of millions of debt.
The source of Man Cityâs funds is a bigger issue than the amount they are spending
The City financial dopers and their oil money comparing themselves to Liverpool in the second division in the 60s
success has always been bought since Jimmy Hill broke soccer
Be good work for Paisley to be spending the cash in the 60âs considering Shankley was the gaffer.
You donât have the capability to differentiate between what FSG are doing and Chelsea/City owners.
Either could do a job.
running the club in debt? Having paid off a huge debt when they bought the club?
I do. You donât.
The KOKs cited money as the reason they didnât win a league title for decades, they then had Wall Street billionaires arrive, wipe out hundreds of millions of debt with their own money, invest further hundreds of millions in the club and now the KOKs want to pretend its ok.
You just regurgitate what youâre fed, youâve shown over and over again that you have an inability to challenge or question narratives.
but but but Coutinho
Doesnât seem to have been much financial doping going on back then judging by the competitiveness of the league in this 1970âs article.
The only first team player theyâve sold in about 6 or 7 years. Theyâve broken at least two world transfer records in that time, their wage bill is multiples times higher than it was before FSG took over, they invested big amounts of their own capital renovating a stadium, have record commissions paid to agents.
Yet they want to play the poormouth. They are where they are because their billionaire owners invested huge amounts in the team.
Jesus christ - unreal.
Raheem Sterling too.
Offset by some shady dealings with Bournemouth/Sheff Utd etc.
Sterling left under Rodgers.
