LIVERPOOL BOARD: WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION!

Oh  God. Little did we know that when the new board was appointed by Hicks and Gillette earlier this year that things would come to this derisory end.
The first thing they did was get a new sponsorship with Standard Chartered Bank( who are they?) worth £20 million a year, if we are in the Champions League , that is, but we are not so the revenues from that deal for next season at least, are similar to to what Carlsberg have been paying us for decades.
So, no major coup by Purslow,Nash and Ayre there then.
What exactly has the Hicks and Gillette appointed new board done for the good of Liverpool FC  since they arrived?
I think they have set the club even further backwards than it was when David Moores owned the club.
We were only £40 million in debt year on year and had he applied for funding for the new stadium back then, he would easily have found banks willing to put up £300 million to get the new stadium built without Mores having to sell out.
Alas, that didn't happen, we have had three calamitous years of American debt merchants running our club into the ground and the future looks bleak.
The one manager who is capable of lifting the team is our idol Kenny Dalglish, but MD Christian Purslow is ignoring him for Roy Hodgson of Fulham fame.
Crazy, isn't it.

  1. Wait.. You don't know who Standard Chartered Bank is? And where did you get info that the sponsorship is on condition that champions league is secured?

  2. What do you mean you've never heard of Standard Chartered? It's a freaking international bank and I think it's a good marketing decision. You have to understand that we have a vast number of fan base all over Asia and majority of Asia are Muslim countries. They can't drink or even wear anything that promotes alcohol. So they end up buying the imitation kits which doesn't have Carlsberg written on them. With Standard Chartered they can now buy and wear the original kits and sales will go way up. I'm still pissed they don't want King Kenny as manager though.

  4. Of course I know who Standard Charted are, they are very prominent in Asia, I was venting my fury at the inactivity of the new board , not the new sponsors.
