Liverpool - the New Chelsea?

by Sack the Juggler on February 7th, 2007

Tom and George, have finally bought Liverpool Football Club, but what would it mean to the club itself and its fans?

Liverpool fans, perhaps with a touch of jealousy, have derided Chelsea’s recent achievements suggesting that they have merely “bought the title” with Roman’s riches.  They say the club has no history or no honour because they went out and bought their success.

But now it appears that Liverpool will suddenly have access to funds, reported up to £150m, that should enable them to compete with the Chelseas of this world.  The exact figure remains, quite rightly, confidential with the new owners playing their cards close to their chests; there’s no point in telling potential sellers how much you have in the kitty!

So what will those Liverpool fans who have lambasted Chelsea for buying the league do now? They who said “You can buy the League, but you can’t buy our history”? Will they stick to their principles and turn their backs on their club? Will they shun any future achievement because it was bought rather than earned? Will future trophies still count?

I’m sure that some Liverpool fans will point to their history and say that they are just building on their tradition, but to do so ignores the fact that Chelsea have a tradition just as long as (although less successful than) that of Liverpool’s.  And all those Liverpool fans who count their history in terms of trophies won, are conveniently ignoring the many years Liverpool had in the wilderness.

So whatever excuses the Liverpool fans come out with for welcoming the new transfer kitty, it will still make their previous rants against Chelsea look like sour grapes, …and if they still fail to win the Premiership even with the transfer windfall then perhaps they’ll finally agree that regardless of how much your squad is worth on paper, you still have to earn the title of League Champions.

    Here’s more of the stupid pundit nonsense.

    True it looks like Pool has money to spend but what I heard the owners say is that what is wanted by Parry would be looked at and then they would decide what to do. Never heard a blank check policy was issued. Can we expect money to be spent? Yes, indeed, they bought to win!

    True, once one team has mega cash to spend and does, that will put all the others to test. This summer should tell just how fast and how much Pool are willing to spend to try to catch up.

    i dont think any genuine liverpool red fan had any problem with chelsea having money and becoming another major power in the game, but it was in fact the way they went about everything. Shady meetings to poach cole from arsenal, paying off man u, tottenham and leeds to stop them going to the FA about the conduct of transfer negotiations. Without the dirty side to chelsea, they would have been accepted a lot easier

    Chelsea have very little history. One league title prior to the Russian bzillions says it all. Even clubs like Preston had won more championships. Chelsea have won double the number of league titles in the last 2 years than they had in their history. A very poor article Im afraid.

    I’d like to think you can spot the difference between a club that has billions to spend as opposed to a club that has millions to spend. I’d also like to think you would have noticed most of the money is going on a new stadium.

    I’d also like to think that you have noticed Liverpool winning a few trophies in the last 6 years - but that would have stopped you ranting, wouldn’t it?

  • Ray

    What do you expect Liverpool to do? Say no thanks to the greatest deal ever because we want to win the league without substancial economic input? We dominated the league and europe when money wasnt a big factor and now that money is a factor we will dominate it again, we cant live in the dark ages time moves on and so is our great club

  • danrus

    There are significant difference between Liverpool & Chelsea:

    Chelsea got the glory because of the money

    Liverpool got the money because of their glory

    But there are other teams out there, like Man Ham or Everington with similar reputations, except the 5 Euros and 18 Leagues of course.

  • Rich
    Feb 7, 2007 at 11:07 am

    Ray,

    I think Sack the Juggler’s point is not that he wouldn’t expect Liverpool to take the deal, no-one in their right mind would if the had serious aspirations for their team.

    It’s more that the constant whinging about ‘Chelsea have bought the league’, the chants of “U.S.A.” in games against Manchester United, now just make you look petty and jealous.

    Are the fans that hurled out abuse about much the same thing going to swallow their pride and continue to follow the American People’s Club?

  • RolandG
    Feb 7, 2007 at 11:11 am

    No disrespect for Chelsea winning the league in 2 consecutive seasons. The Premiership gets harder to win each year. There was never any jealousy towards Chelsea in any regard only envy at the money they had availbale.

    My only problem with Chelsea as a Liverpool fan, is the way they have conducted themselves in the market. throwing money at everything to make it go away ie. the tapping up of players, paying off of clubs to escape punishment.

    As Champions, there are certain standards of grace, dignity and decorum that you are expected to uphold. If Chelsea displayed any of these characteristics, they would get respect much like their team with Vialli, Zola and Gullit did.

    Isn’t it ironic that Chelsea fans are now saying that Liverpool sold out. While their ignorance is astounding, their fear is very real.

    For all that is said about the Liverpool take over, its business as usual and not of the shady kind. Our traditions will be left intact and we must move on to bigger and better things in the name of progress.

    I sincerely wish Mr Moores didn’t need to sell our club, but in todays climate he had no choice. Everybody is now seeking investment to just ’stay in the race’, not win it! If you’re in a fist fight, and your opponent starts using a baseball bat, then you need a bat too. Mr Moores went searching for investment to compete evenly with Man U & Chelsea, who started this financial arms race. You cannot blame Liverpool for responding to a situation that was already in place.

  • MOYESYSIDE

  • bob

    I dont think Rafa will spend money as Mourino has done. Rafa will surely do as Sir Alex likes to do. How rich a team is, the money has to be spent wisely.
    Money dont guarantee success.When u see Chevchenko and S.W.Phillips performance as regards to their price.

  • Onion
    Feb 7, 2007 at 11:23 am

    I agree with RolandG - it is the way Chelski conduct themselves. The tapping up, the behaviour when they lose etc. I had a theory it was deliberate to try to get them back page coverage. Things have improved this season but this could be as they are not top of the league and maybe are not keen to draw this to the attention of people.

    I think another stark difference is that the new owners came out and faced the press. This is something that didn’t happen with Utd or Chelsea (even a statement would have done from Roman).

    The fact is Liverpool have had to do this to compete. It levels the playing field somewhat. I’ve no doubt that many fans will feel uncomfortable but surely if Liverpool now go on to win the title - the argument of buying it is redundant the playing field is level as far as the Utd, Pool and chelsea are concerned?

  • Sack the Juggler
    Feb 7, 2007 at 11:34 am

    LM - there you go again measuring a clubs history in terms of trophies won, so before the 70’s Liverpool had no history? Of course they did, stop falling into this trap of blindly supporting a club because you can recite the number of cups they’ve won.

    Yes, Preston has a history, so does Cheslea and so does Kettering, just because Liverpool has been more successful over the years it doesn’t mean that other clubs don’t have a history, and it doesn’t mean Liverpool didn’t have a history when they haven’t been successful.

  • LM
    Feb 7, 2007 at 11:58 am

    Sack the Juggler. Yes Chelsea had a history but not a very successful one. To be honest, I dont even know why Im defending the takeover. Man United have been buying 30m players for years, Chelsea have recently been doing it and now Liverpool can do it. We are now on a level playing field. Arsenal will be taken over eventually and people will slate them but they will have to eventually to be able to compete. Arsenal have spent more wisely than any of the other big 4 but can they win titles again without major investment? I personally dont think so.

    LM:”Arsenal will be taken over eventually and people will slate them but they will have to eventually to be able to compete. Arsenal have spent more wisely than any of the other big 4 but can they win titles again without major investment? I personally dont think so”

    Arsenal are rebuilding slowly and bringing players through. Is it also no coincidence that they play the most patient and attractive football? Its a bit of a metaphor for the whole club really.

    Having seen them on Saturday theres desparation both off and on the pitch as far as Liverpool are concerned.

    As far as chelsea not having any history is a total load of horse shit. Its sad that to remember your clubs history you have to count trophies you bunch of glory hunters. Most of you have probably not even been to the old EVERTON stadium arssfield. We have been there just as long as you lot and we have built our OWN stadium to build our future on. I personally would rather be writing history than living in it you bunch of saps. As far as you know being able to compeate with the likes of chelsea and man u, it will take more than the few quide Mr and Mrs Gillette got in the post office savings account.

    The desperate remark which you have not yet acknowledged (I am sure it is on your list) was also made more in reference to Rafa’s ‘poor choice of words’, shall we say, over the weekend. Let’s face it, it was as disrespectful as they come.

    I suspect though by your ability to ream off stats though you do consider 80% of the teams in the Premiership as being ’small’ and every team from thereon down the leagues.

    How do you consider Nottingham Forest these days? Are they a big club with a poor team by their previous high standards, or do competitions won outside of a defined period not count for anything? How about Villa as well?

  • MOYESYSIDE

    Rich, I think Rafas comments were disrepectful to be honest. He has got the top 4 in mind because he hasnt been here to see what clubs like Forest and Everton achieved in the 70s and 80s. A lot of Liverpool fans were not happy with the comment but the reaction from the bitters has been worth it…one guy was nearly crying on Radio Merseyside at the weekend because what Rafa had said :-)

    And as for ‘history’, as sack the juggler has pointed out - Kettering have just as long a history, and teams like Sheffield FC have a lot longer history than Liverpool or Chelsea. Every team has their highs and their lows and whatever league they play in their fans feel it just as much. In fact probably more so in the lower leagues where you’re more likely to get a proper following of LOCAL fans who are informed about other levels of the game than just England, the prem top six and a couple of European teams…

    Nice one Rich - you have summarized top-flight football perfectly:

    Every team needs money so they can compete, and all are run like businesses nowadays. You just can’t win titles by only bringing players through etc, as quality youngsters cost cash as do academies.

    No-one can really stop tapping-up, or dodgy transfers etc, especially when top-players can essentially demand to leave.

    Every team has its share of racist/violent/boo-boy idiots.

    Really, there is no moral high-ground in football. None of the big teams are guilt-free - and of course I include my own team Sheffield Wednesday in that statement. In fact it’s the big teams that are pushing up the ticket prices, colluding with agents, forming ever-smaller and more exclusive leagues (like the prem) and so getting a bigger slice of the pie, to the detriment of smaller clubs and grass-roots.

    And Wednesday are a big team before anyone makes the obvious comment :) We’re just waiting for the right moment to storm the Premiership, that’s all.

    So “no genuine liverpool red fan had any problem with chelsea having money…”. Nice to see the age old hypocrisy is alive and kicking. Shady meetings with clubs? You mean direct negotiations with clubs and agreeing fees for non-playing staff or non-professional players. I think that’s precisely the way it’s supposed to be done actually.

    In msg11 Roland says it’s “ironic that Chelsea fans are now saying that Liverpool sold out”. No, it’s ironic that Liverpool fans are saying they /haven’t/ sold out, while they’ve spent years claiming the opposite, forgetting Chelsea prevented Liverpool qualifying for the CL when they had least money of all.

    The point is that money can’t buy Leagues or Cups - the taunt used in Abramovich’s first season when nothing was won at all. In the last 2.5 years it’s been said that it can, but it still can’t. Look at West Ham and Villa since their takeovers, losing to Reading and Watford this wek as a prime example. This is the norm.

    It’s only the fat controller who’s been squealing week after week about having no money, while hypocritically taunting “small” clubs, especially one who was one of the founder members of the football league and who were the real power in Liverpool before the money of the Moores family came into play. There’s irony.

    Mr. Juggler, post something new mate. Come on, I need your daily digest of everything footie, you do have everything insider about Liverpool between your fingers, have you heard anything new? Who’s got pissed at the local pub and said how Liverpool are soooooo crap and that they won’t win a piss up at a pub and, they’d move to Real Madrid provided the chance.

    Come on, come on, come on, come on….

    Hypocrites F.C.

    Funny, Wallowpool had won nothing until a certain cash injection 40 years ago.

    Their self pitying, self delusional act is getting annoying and the sooner they admit they killed 39 the better.

    Don’t worry lads, perhaps you can create another banner saying how unfair everything is and everyones against your glorious club with it’s rich history of murder, thieving and self pitying.

    Nice one Scott - resort to ill-judged slurs to make no point at all. Your lack of intelligence for a real debate is all too apparent.
