To me, Liverpool is more of a mom-and-pop store trying to compete with the super stores that have opened up around it. We were doing great when we competed with other mom-n-pop stores but this financial difference is breaking our back. ManCity is banging on the door now, it took them one year to stitch together an all star team and everyone knows that they will be more then happy to spend another 100 or so million over the next two transfer windows. They've got Adebayor, Tevez, Robinho, Santa Cruz and Bellamy (all mercenary twats in my opinion but talented twats nonetheless), and we got just one Torres. We cannot have the luxury of 30million players on the bench.
People think I've got my head in the sand when I say that we can't compete with the scum over the long run. Look at last year they say, we almost caught them. I know for sure that if we were ahead come this January, they would've opened their wallets and throw some cash around to stack up the odds against us. I was cartwheeling when Chelsea got the transfer ban, I thought with them out of the money spender list and an ageing team, we wouldn't suffer too much, but they've got the ban suspended since.
The best we can do is to stay in top four in my honest and frank opinion. In my opinion, it is better then having a sugardaddy owner that spends millions on mercenaries, at least this way, we keep our souls.
