The Bigfooty Liverpool Thread

Lived it. Loved it.

Farewell beautiful game.

I am 100% with Gary Linneker. Announcing this on the day that UEFA was going to announce an expanded CL which the clubs didn't want is nothing more than a massive finger to UEFA and a ploy to get them to change their minds. It is 100% a power play by the big boys.

Has more than a touch of the BCCIs about it

Bigger than the game

I dont know... more in this than a power play IMO. They have all left the ECA.

 

[jod23]

For FSG not to tell Klopp.... that's disrespectful and wont go down well with the great man. They might just have ruined that relationship in one foul swoop.

How much longer will Jurg manage us.

If FIFA press ahead with plans to barr players from internationals if they play in this stupid super league, we'll hemorrhage players.

At least we won the league before the whole game turned to s**t

Mourinho sacked again

Mourinho sacked again

He was a great manager, but people underrate his ability at getting sacked and receiving maximum payout while preserving his reputation. Master manipulator

He is walking out looking the hero while receiving a fat cheque after doing a pretty s**t job

Have any breakaway leagues ever actually gone the distance?

Eg rugby super league, World Series Cricket. Lasts a little while then comes back together, compromise made

The PL is but was done with the blessing of the FA and effectively continued the first division as top flight football in England.

As for rebel leagues without asssociation approval no it doesn't really work.

 

[jod23]

Rumours Klopp is gonna quit. I dont buy it though.

 

[Zidane98]

Worst year for football as far as I can remember

COVID, no fans, shitty VAR, and now power hungry suits trying to bleed the game dry

Really need to just scrap the whole league, not worth continuing now.

None from reliable sources yet that I can find.

 

[jod23]

Klopp for me isnt the kind of bloke to walk out on his players. If anything he finishes the season with us, then if the Super League goes ahead, he may walk.

Any truth in the rumour about Mourinho refusing to train his players in protest and then got sacked?

Apparently not no...

Is everyone complaining about FSG not spending in the transfer market also the same people that lambasted them for initially planning to furlough staff when the pandemic hit, even though it was a perfectly legal option?

I could be way off base here and you guys would know plenty more than me, but the way it seems to me - UEFA have been lining their own pockets for years and despite complaints from the "bigger" clubs, very little has ever changed. If the clubs are able to take a greater slice of that revenue pie, you can't blame them for trying to do so. They've now called EUFA's bluff, and would hope for better financial outcomes under alterations to the current system or will go it alone and get a better result anyway, win/win situation in their minds. As for supporters being ashamed of their club and threatening to leave - Say we were the only one's to decline, we'd be consigning our club to also ran's quite possibly forever.

Maybe I'm stung a little by my SANFL club not having the spine to force a move into a bigger league which would have ensured it's future existence, at the highest level possible, but instead consigned themself to obscurity.

I'll add that I like the setup of the current competitions in Europe and would prefer to see no change to the structure .. Also hate the thought of forcing hardship on other clubs. But priority 1 for me is the long term survival and standing of our club at the highest possible level in our region.

OK, Im ready to get sh*t-canned over this, maybe I'm just not understanding enough so when I cop it please try and include some educational points along the way.

To be fair your sanfl club had the opportunity to join us when we were pushing in 92 and then they turn coated and ran back to the snaffle with the tail between the legs. Imagine a afl with port v norwood instead of the crows, what could have been.

Its bs. Mou was a dead man walking. Wouldnt surprise me if Duncsn Castles & co try to spin it that way.

Just seems strange to sack the coach the week of a cup final.

Also with all this uproar. I sense a poor result tonight.

I was thinking the same thing as well. Maybe a bit of karma to boot.

What's the point of this game? Top 4 doesn't matter anymore and we might be kicked out.

 

[jod23]

Load up on Leeds. We are definitely losing tonight.

What do we have to play for? There's nothing to qualify for
