2010 has also seen the club with a minus figure for net spend!


Torres-Babel were secured as "eye wash" to gain support from the fans. Their deals which were secured via loans ran into problems when installments were not serviced promptly. Hopefully, the deals are completed by now! Mascherano's deal was a "window dressing" to convince the fans that their finance is still strong. As for Keane's deal, it was more of a "business gimmick" to hide or mask their financial problems. Sales of alonso, masherano and keane highlight this.

Liverpool was also riddled with debt and servicing debt cost 30 million a year! This is not the way to run a football club.

Hope yee read this and understand.

Not like Man City or Chelsea. That can't go on anymore anyway with new rules from 2012. It's a business for them, not a play toy. I don't think we'll see a new stadium for a good few years. But once they are putting decent money into the squad I'll be happy with that.They said that's what they will do as they are "winners". I am not sure of the exact debt figure, but I am sure the business plan is to have a bit of debt that can be paid off over a number of years while still generating enough money to spend on the squad. The situation before was too much debt and interest on the debts that was eating up all of the revenue coming in. If they stay through to their word I am happy and then we'll see about the stadium. Probably end up sharing with Everton!   Debt will be paid at 40 million a year, Thats the agreement between RBS + NESV. They have also confirmed that they would rather expand Anfield. Agree with you Andy, Really like the attitude of them as of now, But we'll see how things progress.

If they did, they wouldn't need to move! There's more room behind the A Road end!!

Im sure they could build over the road at the anfield road end and have like a underpass through the road like the dart line going through landsdowne
