Edd001 with the money (debt) invested into redeveloping anfield which had to be done by fsg what's your opinion on what Radcliffes achieving to do at United regarding a new stadium. He hinted again recently about the stadium being like Wembley and funded by the tax payer. Do you think it's achievable and it's fair?

{Ed001's Note - it is achievable but should not be allowed. Perhaps the multi-billionaire sportswasher could try paying tax himself before asking for others to pay for things for his benefit. No club should have a stadium on the taxpayers, there are already too many with Man City and West Ham getting cheap ones at the taxpayers expense.}

Glad to see someone finally calling him out Ed001. Can't believe the media aren't all over him. Ratcliffe an his company INEOS are scum. They're driving up chemical costs which is having a brutal affect on the cost of living crisis as a lot of them are used in manufacturing, water supply, construction etc. Alright for him with his inflated profits he won't pay tax on though!

{Ed001's Note - a vile man.}

Ratcliffe is tax dodging scum. Always remember him and that BTEC Land Rover INEOS built, he’d taken some tax incentives to have it built in Wales only to take the money and decide to build the car in France citing better infrastructure, economies of scale and supply chains which wouldn’t be affected by tariffs imposed due to leaving the EU. Somewhat ironic given his extreme pro Brexit stand. I think you’ve summed him up perfectly there Ed. I’d only add to that by saying he’s a vile two faced man who looks like he’s having a really bad mid life crisis.

{Ed001's Note - I hope he is, because he has caused so many people to suffer.}

Edd001 thanks for the reply. He's clever in his wording for justifying it but it's disgraceful. No private company especially a football club which is tribal should have tax payers paying for a clubs stadium, to which the owners simply only benefit. Also a club of uniteds stature and revenue, it's shameful.

{Ed001's Note - it is not like he can't afford to pay for it so **** him.}

A **** bag billionaire eh? Would you believe it?

You don’t make that sort of money - and then blow it on sports or spaceships - unless you’re a real **** bag.

Anyway, back to the Wembley of the North (ridiculous) .

If he wants tax payers to fund his stadium then we’ll be his teams landlords and he will discover it’s going to cost him a lot of money to rent Normbley.

Liverpool fan since the 18th century but only just joined this site.
question for eds.
I am making 2 assumptions.
Amorin is 90% done deal and we are just hearing usual denials
We will lose Thiago, Matip, Adrian - hopefully not Kelleher, likely Salah, probably Diaz and 1 or 2 others.
Will need at least front line replacements, a CDM, GK replacements, a CB and probably fullback cover.
My question is. How much say will incoming manager have and would we be having informal discussions with Amorim now or does this have to wait for signatures on dotted lines? Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Your first assumption is incorrect. I would think Kelleher will also have to think carefully about his future with the club. The manager will not be given a budget - the baudget stays with the decision makers. Liverpool cannot have any direct talks with Amorin.}

22 Apr 2024 10:32:02
Hello ed2. Please tell me we not considering mourinho as manager?! only reason I'm asking is because he was at match yesterday.

{Ed002's Note - No, fear not.}

"Liverpool fan since the 18th century"

Wow. So you supported the club before it existed and are a minimum of 225 years old?

Impressive mate.

22 Apr 2024 18:41:20
I was wondering about that 18th century comment?

22 Apr 2024 07:28:58
team we'd
Ally
Gomez. Konate. Vvd
Trent. Robbo

Endo. Mcc

Salah. Jota. Nunez.

21 Apr 2024 22:07:22
FINALLY! We play gakpo in his preferred position and he looks a different player. Don't sleep on gakpo he is a leader in the dressing room and has loads to offer us from the left wing. I would definitely sell Nunez, diaz and salah I can take or leave but has been an absolute legend for what he has given. If possible Somerville of Leeds, gyokeres and Lois openda or Brian mbuemo would be top of my shopping list to replace above mentioned.

22 Apr 2024 07:19:29
Mbuemo? No thanks, mediocre player at best, Summerville isn’t really tested at a top level one good season in the championship isn’t really enough. If we’re replacing a legend like Salah at least get someone in of equal quality or who looks like they could reach the same level.

Openda is probably off the table due to RBL usually liking all of the transfer fee up front and that’s not really FSG’s preference, I’d say Gyokeres is too expensive too.

22 Apr 2024 10:34:28
Not sure on what basis Mbuemo is mediocre. Brentford arguably missed him more than they missed Toney. At 24 years old he is playing in a team teetering just above a relegation battle and he is still starring with goals and assists on a consistent basis. Last season he had Van Dijk and Konate on toast. In fact Virgil popped a hamstring trying to keep him under wraps. He’s too good to be languishing in the bottom half and would walk into any squad in the league in my opinion. Not necessarily as a starter, but I’d liken him to Bowen. He has the potential to step up and become more.

22 Apr 2024 12:40:44
Mbeumo is a mini Mike tyson on the footy pitch, buying players who have played in the league is very important as they grow to new levels with liverpool, we have done well with players from within our league Mane, salah, Robertson, vvd, mcallister, ox before the injuries, shaqiri, gini etc these players have all elevated when they joined our club, the players who haven't played in the league have been hit and miss.

22 Apr 2024 15:13:15
Really good point that hailstones. I would add Jota to your list too as a successful domestic buy. Come to think of it most of the flops under Klopp had no Prem experience. Keita, Karius, Arthur, Thiago, Kabak etc. I'm sure some would argue Nunez and Konate are knocking on the door to being flops as well given they were signed to be game changing players and right now I wouldn't even have them in the best XI. Tsimikas, Klavan and Minamino never really set it alight for us either but at least they were dirt cheap. Matip was free but his body just never looked up to the physicality of the league. Diaz has done well but I don't think he's anywhere near what Mane was and he's pretty much at his peak now for a winger reliant on pace.

Gakpo, Gravenberch, Endo and Szoboszlai need to do more in time but I wouldn't call any of them flops just yet as they've all been here less than 18 months and shown at least glimpses of what they could offer us, Endo especially.

Alisson and Fabinho are probably the only undeniable exceptions where buying from a foreign league has paid off for Klopp so far. That's actually one of the best original points I've ever seen on here. Maybe it really is best to buy local produce!

22 Apr 2024 16:52:25
Mbeumo is a very good player loads of potential. Quick, can dribble, can finish and gets lots of shots off in good areas he’s the exact type of player Edwards would like.

{Ed002's Note - Edwards does not pick the players and Liverpool has shown no interest.}

21 Apr 2024 20:18:41
3 points. Now for the lads to wake up, show some character and consistency with 5 more wins. Then hope Arsenal and City drop points. Odds are stacked against us but it's not impossible.

21 Apr 2024 20:35:04
Alonso,
Spurs are going to have a massive say in this title race. definitely not over!

21 Apr 2024 22:44:20
Myrtle. You’re 100% spot on. Spurs will be up for Arsenal as is a derby, but more so because they don’t want to see them winning the league. And Spurs are City’s boogy team. If we can somehow win all our games we take the league, as I actually see a few games Arsenal can slip up. Chelsea, United and Spurs. As for City only one, possibly two. Brighton if they can somehow play like the Brighton of last season can beat them. But if I’m being honest City will most likely beat them. It’s down to Spurs to be the team to stop City. Definitely not over yet!

21 Apr 2024 16:25:43
Fair play to Forest calling out PGMOL. The VAR official for their game was a Luton fan, obviously conflict if interest there. They warned PGMOL but they never changed that. Forest should have had at least 1 penalty if not 2 or 3 against Everton, none given and they have put their feelings out there on Twitter. Brave move, .

21 Apr 2024 20:39:43
2nd+3rd pen appeals where dead certs, I dunno how they weren't given. Can't blame forest 2 b raging.

{Ed025's Note - the 3 were dead certs Digger, Forest were robbed and it does nothing to dispel rumours of corruption mate..

21 Apr 2024 21:46:11
A terrible decision according to both those gems at sky sports.

21 Apr 2024 21:30:53
Fair play to u ed25 to say that, not so sure on 1st but bloody hell how the other 2 weren't I will never know.
And grealish handball in cup as well. No way can officals with benefit of var can be getting these so wrong.

{Ed025's Note - and thats where the corruption accusations come into it Digger, if VAR cant see that mate then whats the point?..

22 Apr 2024 07:06:48
And all the headlines today are pointing to Forest being investigated for their comments.

AGAIN. accusations being swept under the carpet to protect individuals and a system from being investigated.

This is when the other teams need to be strong, and support a call for a deep investigation into how VAR is being used and by those who use it and enforce it.

{Ed025's Note - absolutely JLC, "something is rotten in the state of Denmark" mate..

22 Apr 2024 07:46:37
Forest should of had three pens no two ways about it i am now sure of a gang of cheats in that PGOML . How embarrasing was it to listen to the to Sky puppets cara and nevil what they had to say about forest the pens and their statement was unbelivable it was embarrasing to listen two clowns who are bad as PGOML with explanations the carra and nevil should be sacked tonight after they went on tv and said an employee of forest should be sacked tonight discusting asking for a man to loose his job because of he has a diffrent opinion on a football match .

22 Apr 2024 09:00:17
Just like all the pundits and presenters, these 2 have been given clear instructions to NEVER go against how the officials have officiated a match.

To think that they played at the highest level and are intentionally diverting attention away from the real issue is scandalous at best.

21 Apr 2024 13:07:04
Morning ed002,

Has Edwards and the new SD started working with the club? Or will it be when the season on ends?

Cheers
Drogie.

{Ed002's Note - Michael Edwards yes; Richard Hughes will join on June 1.}

21 Apr 2024 13:39:39
Thanks.
