No more stan

Seeing how Liverpool conceded a goal to Newcastle, reminded me that the Reds will lose this game. While many would remind me that Liverpool have the meanest defence in the Premier League, did not dissuade me to give a thumbs down in their effort at Tyneside. It was a disaster of which we have no Stan Collymore to inspire us to another 4-3 rout of Newcastle, but to see how Rafa's men added another loss to their impressive away form to tally for the worst performing team playing away from home. I doubt Liverpool have much to achieve this season with probably 4th position to look out for; after all, it is another disappointing season; makes me wonder how long can Rafa stay as a manager for Liverpool

Liverpool entered into the new era

Liverpool have entered into a new era - era of dollars and cent, where they have officially join the rich club status after the takeover of the club by Gillet and Hicks for £470 million.

The difference between Liverpool and Man United, there won't be any debt tied to the club. And the owners have promised a new stadium, rejecting any proposal for ground sharing, and most important, giving no ceiling to Rafa's budget in getting the players he want. This sounds good, but it remains to be seen if they are true to their promise.

Mascherano

Mascherano - West Ham and Argentina midfielder. Can he be the answer to a disappointing Liverpool season? I doubt it. The problem doesn't lie with the midfielder but most important the tactical mistakes of Rafa, our disappointing defenders, and our goalshy strikers. Liverpool need if they did get the money that was promised, to get quality strikers and defenders and perhaps a good keeper to keep Reina in check.

A surprise takeover by the American

The truth about the football clubs becoming the rich man's toy is sealed with a complete turnover from a possible takeover of Liverpool by DIC to the American sports enthusiasts Gillet. Rafa will be handled £150 million to spend, and will elevate Liverpool to the rich clubs list and clearing the debt of £70 million plus the new stadium took Liverpool to the next level. Many however, are concerned what this will mean for a football club such as Liverpool in future. Liverpool were a club for the fans, by the fans and with the fans since Shankly took over, it is built on a tradition of excellence because the club's proud association with the fans. Will this new money play compromise the club's relationship with its fans?
