I've read from two separate sources now that klopp isn't happy at Liverpool. Is this true and if so is it down to lack of funds?
1.) 04 Aug 2021 20:07:59
What sources?
2.) 04 Aug 2021 20:23:14
Holy jesus this again, like the time he was resigning. All a load of crap.
3.) 04 Aug 2021 20:48:04
Pegleg hop along now.
4.) 04 Aug 2021 20:57:13
Well known, well to 1 person on here anyway, that he went on strike last summer to make sure Thiago was signed.
5.) 04 Aug 2021 21:02:30
OP, that was about two weeks ago. Try to keep up or whoever is teasing you need to get up to speed with the fabricated rubbish he is peddling.
6.) 04 Aug 2021 21:03:07
Red and brown sources?
7.) 04 Aug 2021 21:04:53
I'll hazard a guess and say that at least one of those sources and probably both were Tw@tter.
Which means obviously it must be true, along with the 350 players that we're definitely signing this window.
8.) 04 Aug 2021 21:46:10
All these players Klopp signed are signing long termers because he’s unhappy err!
9.) 05 Aug 2021 04:50:38
Exactly. How can the club sanction new 4-6 year contracts for virtually half the team with Klopp unhappy (and the club would know it if he was)? If anything, it can even indicate he will extend his own deal. It's a huge risk re-signing all these players and having a new manager come in and wanting players of his own choice.
10.) 05 Aug 2021 08:08:53
Players will sign contracts for the club not always the manager, he probably isn't 100% happy, he does miracles on a tiny budget and hardly gets backing when delivering, he has hinted before about lack of money but it's ok FSG saved us.
{Ed0666's Note - it’s not as if he’s operating on a meager budget. It’s a simple fact we can’t financially compete with Man city, Psg, Chelsea, United et al. But I can’t see klopp at any of these clubs either.
11.) 05 Aug 2021 08:35:20
this has to be a wind up right? everybody moans about budget or klopp working with nothing the club have pretty much given him everything he has asked for.
12.) 05 Aug 2021 09:02:12
Klopp must be really unhappy - In recent years he has signed one of the worlds best CB’s and GK, Thiago, Jota, Fabhino, Keita, not worked out but the outlay was wasn’t cheap -, not to mention Ox, Mané and Salah earlier.
13.) 05 Aug 2021 10:52:07
Yet after the first 14 players maybe we are very short, it's not like Liverpool are a mid table, unheard of side, we are literally one of the biggest going and the restraints we have to improve the squad are worrying, don't get how it's accepted this way, we could of won the League and more at least once with real backing and strong additions, maybe i'm too ambitious and supporting the wrong people, i'll support FSG instead of the side then.
14.) 05 Aug 2021 11:08:57
You must have had many a sleepless night under the previous ownerships. 30 years wait for a league title ring any bells. FSG might not be the best owners but they’re certainly mot the worst and have done more for us than Moore’s and party did in the years they had the club! New main stand, groaning ground, annie road end work has begun.
15.) 05 Aug 2021 12:08:39
You won't win that debate Drogie, too many of our fanbase are caught up in the #FSGOut nonsense and have zero perspective on the club finances.
16.) 05 Aug 2021 15:54:00
Some of that just sounds like paranoid babble. Like it or not, City were found not guilty. LFC/ FSG are trying to run a business in line with the FFP restrictions and by trying not to spend significantly more than their income, which is eminently sensible.
22 Apr 2021 12:03:35
A question for ed1 and 2 if I may. With the recent failings of this breakaway league do you still think that something will change in football? Personally I think something had to give with the rising transfer fees, agents fees and players wages all becoming silly. For me that's where things need to change first and then probably fifa/ eufa and the fa need to change and become a little more translucent on their dealings. Money is ruining football and I can only see it getting worse. I'd be interested to hear your views on how to improve it and if you actually think it will improve or get worse.
Thankyou in advance
Pegleg.
1.) 22 Apr 2021 14:37:40
Mate if it's about money no one's going to budge🤔.
2.) 22 Apr 2021 17:42:57
I wonder if the higher end players may look to run down their contracts so that moves are still possible. Clubs are still looking for top end money that doesn't seem to be available.
3.) 23 Apr 2021 09:33:25
All running down contracts will do is move the money into agent fees and higher wages. What needs to happen first is that it should be made compulsory that a player pays their agent fees. I honestly think this solves a lot of problems as it means the player has a much stronger vested interest in who their agent is and when the agent goes in asking for 30 mill on the side the player either pays it or tells their agent to go f themselves.
It would stop at least one aspect where the clubs are literally being held to ransom in some of these deals to get them over the line.
4.) 23 Apr 2021 11:36:15
The thing about that is that players would then ask for higher signing on fees. I think if the agent fees were capped and the player had to pay them, that might work in combination?
5.) 24 Apr 2021 07:54:42
it was just about security of income that's all. Look at the impact dropping out of top 4 has on clubs and the time and money it takes to catch back up.
It's just about money and when money is available wages, fees and transfers go up. Not sure how it works any other way.
The number of games needs to be addressed or this will come up again in another format.
6.) 24 Apr 2021 19:48:50
Well the thanks in advance was a waste of time!
15 Jan 2021 19:16:01
Ed's, with current financial problems and our need for short term cover at cb is their anyone available to loan that might provide us with the cover we need?
{Ed002's Note - There is nobody I am aware of that Liverpool are looking to loan.}
1.) 16 Jan 2021 10:25:03
Thankyou for the reply, hope you’re enjoying the weekend. Has your daughter made a full recovery?
{Ed002's Note - Not quite but getting there thanks - the remaining issues are patchy taste and smell and a slight cough. Thanks.}
2.) 16 Jan 2021 16:01:49
Sorry to hear about your daughter ed. Sending my best for a full recovery.
{Ed002's Note - Thanks - It has been a few weeks and she is certainly much better than she was.}
3.) 16 Jan 2021 17:37:17
Patchy taste and smell with a slight cough I know that story Ed002.Tell her to get a good quality multivitamin or just vitamin C to take daily it will help with the fatigue.
{Ed002's Note - She is recovering from COVID-19 Barry.
4.) 16 Jan 2021 18:38:08
I got my positive result Christmas day and because I'm such a good father I passed it onto my children. Christmas really was a blastðŸ˜.
5.) 16 Jan 2021 18:31:42
I had it as well Ed002 and lot's of people were giving me that advice mate.
28 Jan 2014 18:58:19
Ed02, I noticed on here that you mentioned on here Newcastle were interested in Grenier(spelling?). After watching Lyon play on a few occasions he and lacazette have impressed me. Have any other teams showed interest in these players and would they be players that would interest Liverpool?
{Ed002's Note - Yes there has ben interest in Grenier in the past - both Chelsea and Arsenal enquired. There is no interest from Liverpool.}

Anyone else at a loss how Elliot doesn't feature more? The last two games once he comes on the football improves. He offers more than jones in my opinion, what he lacks in speed he makes up with quick thinking.
1.) 22 Jan 2025 18:50:13
Elliot, Endo and Chiesa all did well last night but I wouldn't be surprised to see all of them back on the bench on Sat for Ipswich.
It wouldn't come as a great shock either if Nunez also doesn't start.
2.) 22 Jan 2025 18:57:42
Why do we have to put someone down to lift someone up? I love Elliott, but he and Jones offer very different skill sets. I would trust Jones to keep the ball at any position in the pitch. His ball retention is elite. While he can be slow to release the ball sometimes, as yesterday's assist showed he does have it in his locker. Elliot is more of a creative fulcrum, the only true around the box creator we have in our squad. If not for the injury, he probably would have gotten into Slot's plans earlier, but I have full faith that over time he will. Especially against low blocks, his quality can be the differentiator.
3.) 22 Jan 2025 19:09:06
He’s done well in his last couple of sub appearances to be fair. In games when we need a goal and the opposition are camped in, he’s a good impact sub. He was bullied off the ball in our penalty area last night too though and it’s little things like that he has to work on to play more regularly in my opinion. Bernardo Silva and Mo Salah are prime examples of how smaller players can still be immensely strong if they work on it. I really loved his attitude after the game though. Could tell that he was well aware that he needs to improve to break into the team and I respect that. Humble guy.
4.) 22 Jan 2025 19:12:06
I don't understand it myself Pegleg.
5.) 22 Jan 2025 19:13:36
He was injured for 3 months, and Slot is very cautious about working players back towards full fitness and form. He and Chiesa will feature more.
Rushing rusty players back too soon last season really hurt us.
6.) 22 Jan 2025 19:15:19
Where have I put jones down? I put he offers more than jones, that’s not putting jones down?
7.) 22 Jan 2025 19:17:02
He's made more impact as a substitute, hence the super-sub tag he's been trying to shrug off. Tends to fade in games, and needs to build his consistency. Hasn't helped that he's played multiple roles like a jack-of-all trades kind of a player, which backfires sometimes for younger, inexperienced players trying to find their place in a team. Also, hence had a long-term injury after making a good imprsession in pre-season, and has had to bid his time as the team became rather settled by the time his injury cleared up.
But he's such a positive kid and if he keeps his head down, could become a Liverpool great, because he's a fan born outside of Merseyside but has embraced all things Liverpool.
8.) 22 Jan 2025 19:49:23
Obviously putting jones down because Elliot cleary doesn't offer more than Jones whatsoever.
9.) 22 Jan 2025 19:55:37
Kurtstiener, have the last two games changed for the better once Elliot has come on? In my opinion they have.
10.) 22 Jan 2025 20:23:18
Hello Pegleg, He has a bigger chance now Jones sustained an injury last night, it was a good pass from CJ for MOs goal last night, defence splitter from his own half. Up to Harvey now! put up or shut up.
11.) 22 Jan 2025 20:57:28
I want Elliot to get more minutes like the rest but i think the narrative is being twisted slightly.
Elliot did get injured quite early but he played 7 minutes out of a possible 270 and since he's been back he's been deemed fit enough to play 90 mins in the cup games but its said was being nursed back and only played 46 league mins in 10 league games that came either side of those cup ones.
12.) 22 Jan 2025 21:10:39
In possession Elliott is great. Out of possession he’s too weak in the tackle and gets bullied too easily.
If he started every week teams would just target him and we’d be very easy to get through. Our system relies on winning duels and Elliott is very weak in that area which is probably why he doesn’t start games.
He’s great lad though and a brilliant player to come on when we are trying to break teams down late in the game.
13.) 22 Jan 2025 21:51:13
I wonder if he offers a more offensive role which Slot prefers to use when teams are tired out later in games whereas Jones offers a bit more in defensive areas earlier in matches. It’s squad game these days as we all know, Harvey may work better against tired legs.
02 Mar 2025 16:50:12
To be fair grino Robertsons sell on value isn’t going to be great with his age and his recent form. I’d rather keep him as back up.
11 Jan 2025 14:38:13
Endo might be playing cb but he wasn’t signed for that position so using him as an argument is about as stupid as the original post. Sorry.
28 Dec 2024 10:38:18
If Trent goes on a free he’ll sour his legacy as a Liverpool legacy and from my view will be held in the same regard as Owen.
06 Oct 2024 22:08:25
Why would we want him? Have you heard the voice recordings? Tell me this is a wind up!
24 Sep 2024 12:52:29
I’ve just read pif are maybe looking to sell Newcastle to buy Liverpool or is that just made up rubbish?
{Ed002's Note - Someone is teasing you. FSG and the Saudi PIF are in bed together over another matter - not the club.}
12 Apr 2025 16:51:16
Pool, black ball rules and carp fishing.
05 Mar 2025 12:48:00
Ed25, maybe the worst personalities but two of the greatest footballers I’ve seen pull on a red shirt.
{Ed025's Note - as I said Pegleg I can’t fault their ability mate. And for me to be a great you have to be a decent person as well..
05 Mar 2025 08:18:17
Suarez or Gerrard all day long no other player even comes close. Those two could win games on their own.
{Ed025's Note - two very talented players there Pegleg, pity they are 2 of the most horrible personalities to ever roam this earth really mate..
10 Feb 2025 14:51:03
Diaz was terrible.
10 Feb 2025 14:46:21
I’d rather be out of the league cup than the fa cup. The fa cup is far more prestigious. But hey ho we’re out and need to concentrate on the next game. Plymouth were the better team and deserved the win, slot got it wrong, not the end of the world unless we start to implode.
