It never ceases to amaze me just how many people have told me over the last week how worried they are about Mad City (link) and the possible repercussions. Yes Al-Fahim is going to change the financial landscape more so than Abramovich has. But I look at it and see many possible positive outcomes.
We've got some exciting talents at youth level who are on the verge of making the breakthrough to the first team. We can't hope to compete with Chelski & Mad City on the transfer front and no doubt they'll be vying for [and signing] all the big names. Which in turn should make it easier for the starlets to make their first team breakthroughs. Some of them are potential world class players.
It might also influence G+H to sell out now before Mad City establish themselves as a force (which could lower LFCs value). Sure, it's going to be harder than ever to win the Premier League, but knowing we haven't bought the title, will make it all the more satisfying when we do. What do you think ?

Mad City will have to qualify for Champions league this year. This is the best they can hope for. Even with Robhinio I don't think they will finish top four. If they splash the cash on 5+ top players between Jan and the start of next season they may have a team capable of challenging for the title next year. The consequence of this for Liverpool is that 4th place would be near impossible let alone winning the title.
The DIC may be useful short term if they can finance the stadium. but the best way is for LFC supporters to buy the club.

In Liverpools heyday they bought the league titles through buying the best and most expensive players around and no fans were bothered. It's not DIC which is looking to buy Liverpool, it's the Sheikh and maybe he is looking to use it as a toy and no one is going to care if we buy more titles. We all just want to win.
As a South African Red I agree with you, I am more concerned about the Reds poor performance and whatever it is that appears to be having a negative impact upon almost every player on the field. As for Man City, I pity any Manager who has to control at least eleven ego's running around the field, it will take them 12 months before they "connect" assuming they can that is. In the meantime lets get our act together.
@jessica - yeah i'm pretty excited too about the prospects of the starlets breaking through
@dummy - not sure if it's DIC or the Sheikh looking to buy. If it is DIC, then you could be right about them being little more than an investment vehicle. Hopefully they won't be scared away. But at least they might build a stadium !!
@J - it would be a dream come true (in a way) if the fans could buy the club and also finance the stadium. Sadly I doubt it'll come to fruition though. Too much money for most Reds fans. Shame really.
@South African red - what are the odds they'll sign a manager with an even bigger ego ? Mourinho maybe ;-)
i wonder if we will ever win the premier league again - it will not be this season - we are still too far behind chelsea and manchester united - next season we can add manchester city to that list and we will be just buying shite
I think you nail on the head in third paragraph. Citeh or Chelski can go and buy all the expensive players in the world but they can only play 11 of them on the field.We also have to remember the reason Moorse family sold the club, becuase he did not had the resurces to build new anfield at stanley park. If DIC buy us from clowns and 70 thousand plus seater stadium is built. It will increase our ticket revenue. They will market the Liverpool brand like we have not done before. It will increase our revenue in that respect. We must get rid of the clowns. Come on Liverpool!
thank you so much for this man love it!
@james - yeah, we definitely need for our club to move forward. Odds are we'll have new owners after xmas thanks to the 'credit crunch'.
I have a small worry. I fear the Yanks may be dumb enough to think they will be able to hold out until the January transfer window to cash in on one or two players that Man City may desire in order to tide them over during the credit crunch or even to bugger off with a tidy profit.
@twombly red - I'd really like to think they're not that dumb, hope I'm not giving them too much credit ;-)
Nothing to worry about City. They need times to be the big four in EPL.
I am from Indonesia. Indonesian people so much loves football. Is there anyone wanna xchange link with me ?
