Wow..."
First up they'll turn a profit when they sell up. 100k lfc fans could have bought it for £3,000 a head back then. Yes those with assets could have used assets to buy more assets. This doesn't have any real impact on the club, more of a beef.
Record profits, that fund the state through corporate tax. In an age of record revenues and costs. Record revenue from their stewardship of the club, even allowing for the general inflation they've outperformed it.
Record revenue from decisions you (and the poster imagine) have castigated at every turn. FFS you've moaned for years that we won the league off selling Coutinho and buying Alisson & Virgil. Signing up with Nike due to the capacity for growth you slammed for many reasons. The preseason tours building the brand similar. The expansion of Anfield which took too long, has cost too much from the ability to build the sqaud. The nike red/kit is never right. Not enough expansion has occured. The new training facility is cursed. Etc etc etc for me you're obsessional about our owners and its very boring as it's only 1 limitation.
Forego a couple of million, as they might have done with the furlough scandal, like they did with not increasing ticket prices, and of course a likely 100 mill minimum each year cost as fans went siding with uefa/bojo/broadcasters over esl/clubs. One of the worst outcomes for European club football.
On the flip side those who live in the locality seem quite happy to have halted the provision of new housing for the benefit of locals and their want of greenspace. I imagine adding some value to their properties.
Pool closed !!
