The Banter Thread

It was only a matter of time but it looks as if talks over Dalglish getting the LFC job permanently have begun (and I can't imagine they will take long):

Prior to getting the job in January, I only ever saw Dalglish as a short-term appointment but the way in which he's turned things around, he can't not be given the job. It's hard to not wonder what might have been had he got the job in the summer (like he should have) ahead of Hodgson; we could have seriously challenged for a CL spot.

Challenge for a CL spot? Come on BaZ, everyone knows Liverpool don't have the squad for a top half finish let alone a CL place

Sunderland, Bolton and Newcastle have better players than us was 1 shout

The people that said that sort of thing are the same type of people that struggle to put on football bibs.

Spurs in talks with Investec (current cup sponsor) over a new £15m/year sponsorship deal.

I heard rumours about Spurs (well your chairman) working their arses off trying to get some epic sponser deals.

That is more than Arsenal get for Stadium and shirt rights. Can't wait for the deal to be renegotiated.

BaZ87 · 24 Mar 2011 at 22:35

Isn't there still 18 months to run on Spurs's current deals?

And I assume that £15m would be for both league and cups (iinm they're only paying £2.5m for cups only), in which case it's not a massive improvement on what they're already getting.

Stag · 24 Mar 2011 at 22:48

It's still bloody good.

BaZ87 · 24 Mar 2011 at 22:52

We get £81m+ over 4 years and we're not even in the CL

CliffyBiro · 24 Mar 2011 at 22:59

And still can't find a better use for £50m

Spurs and their best squad in the league are going to feel a bit stupid when we finish above them this season and when they into admin this time next season

Careful, comments like that could come back to haunt you. I should know.

I do hope you waste that money buying the laziest player in the world, Zlatan.

Jonjo Shelvey had his dick posted on his Twitter!

ROFL!

BaZ87 · 26 Mar 2011 at 00:21

May I ask how you know it was his? :eek:

Azza took the picture.

Won't bother starting a new thread for it until it's 100% confirmed but it looks as if our owners have decided to go down the redevelopment route regarding our stadium issue and an announcement is due anytime.

Since the day they tookover, the noises coming out of the club were suggesting that the owners were leaning towards a redevelopment of Anfield rather than a new build. Over the last week all the rumours have gathered a lot of pace, to such an extent that it's now being talked about as fact.

Some rumours are saying that the redevelopment could begin as early as next season, starting with a new tier being added to the Anfield Road stand; meaning the stand would be closed for a season (bringing the capacity down to 37,000 (1 of the reasons why a redevelopment was never seriously considered before)) and possibly that there will be no away supporters at Anfield for that season.

As I've said before, providing Anfield can be redeveloped (even if it's staggered over 5+ years) to an extent where by it generated similar income to a new build, I'm all for it.
