Fowler is to fat an old to be playing in the PL. why did reds by him? i dono. he was crap at Man shitty an he is not gona do anything for reds this year. hes passed it. End of story.

Fowler did the business for Liverpool in the run-in last season, getting a few vital goals at a time when Liverpool were struggling with the likes of Morientes and Ciise. While he may be surplus to requirements at this stage, he's still scored a goal for every three appearances this season, which is not bad given that most of them have come in the form of late substitute appearances.

"Football fans in hypocrisy shocker!!"

At least you won't have Liverpool fans flouncing off to form FC Liverpool of Anfield and thinking they're somehow the keepers of the flame 

PS Good result yesterday

Terrible result against a shower of small time Charlies.

Everton FC - The Small Club

[Uladh]

Poor performance from everton. johnson should have won the game but 4 points from a possible 6 against the bin dippers is a good season's work.

If Liverpool fans are 'bindippers', what does that make Everton fans?

I think you might want to check out the difference between investment and indebtedness. I've no problem with anybody (American or otherwise) investing in Liverpool. The issue with the Glazers and ManUre was that they didn't invest a brass farthing, they took out a £600 million plus mortgage which took ManUre from one of the richest and most profitable clubs in the World to being one bad season away from bankruptcy. Hardly the same thing.

Both franchises being owned by Yanks...the same thing!!

Rafa Benitaz to get a transfer kitty of 250million Alex Ferguson got exactly how much off the Glaziers?

[Square Ball]

Having a transfer kitty that size will bring its own problems, inflated prices, unscrupulous agents, panic buys.... we don't know how much he has or hasn't but if he wants a player he will get he money, he has went after 2 players from the start of the season, all he wants is OH and thats that.

Spend wisely

[The Real Laoislad]

Yeah true square ball i was only making a point that there is a great difference between the Glaziers takeover of Man United and this Americans takeover of Liverpool

[Uladh]

The more integrated and domesticated of the species...

[Windmill abu]

Upon completion of the takeover at Anfield yesterday, the new owners declared the old Liverpool crest would be replaced with a more modern look.

[Norf Tyrone]

I'm sure it has already done the rounds....
