The only thing that comes anywhere near this is The Mighty Ducks.

Money has ruined the game.

But it was fine in the 70’s and 80’s when Liverpool were the richest team in England due to their owner.

It's hilarious seeing it. I hate city dominating but the are literally doing what United have done for 20 years under Sir Alex... Buy the best players and dominate the league.

And Liverpool before that, Chelsea after it, and so on and so forth.

Shankly might have picked the players back in the 60’s but it was Eric Sawyer who arranged all the financing. In other words, they needed money to build the team and sign the best players.

Go back far enough and once the wage cap was lifted every team used money to buy success. Some also tried and failed.

Also in Liverpool (the city)back in the day the biggest team were 100% Everton. Once Liverpool became successful (under Shankly)those percentages began to change. In other words, there were plastic success chasing glory hunters even back in those days.

No one will ever admit this though.

Can't believe people are doubting them. One of their sponsors has a business address of an empty, state of the art warehouse outside London. Haters will say their sponsorships aren't real

I think this amount of revenue is legit given how they are advertising it. But i reckon there is more money involved under the table in transfer sagas and wage bills.

Guessing nobody has actually bothered to read the reports huh. Not what we do on Reddit is it
