Not sure if this is even credible being as it's the Mirror. And a Sunday at that. But they're running this:

Liverpool owners slap £1BILLION price tag on club as leading financier begins takeover talks - Mirror Online

Plus they placed a £1.3 billion price on the club last year didn't they? Which would surely be considerably more now.

Not sure how I'd feel about that. On the one hand, you need the major finances to compete in today's game. On the other, I'd hate to just buy anything that moved like PSG or City. Along with a lot of the Middle Eastern States having appalling human rights issues I want our club to have NO part of.

We'll see in the coming days if there's anything substantial in it I guess and judge from there.

No owner in the premier league would be dum enough to sell now especially with the TV money and most importantly the way the pound is right now and the foreseeable future.
 
Time for Chamberlain to step up if he gets the nod to replace Mane. Personally think he will stick Coutinho on the left and bring Wiji back into the fold.
 
Meant to put this up the other day and talking about the man has just jogged my memory the PL thread. This looks like it'll be a MUST watch film from the man's own mouth:

[video=youtube;6mA6uA2-Rcw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mA6uA2-Rcw[/video]

Swear down I'd follow that fella' into **** and back if he asked. What he's done for my City, forget the ridiculous achievements and commitment he's given to LFC the last 40 years and counting, but what the MAN has given of himself for this City when we needed it the most in our darkest hour (that fair broke him lets not forget. Carry a City on his shoulders through the worst of times) ..... The most important Liverpudlian, who wasn't born a Liverpudlian, this City has ever had. The utmost admiration and debt I feel toward him really can't be adequately expressed in words.

Real savvy move from the club to be having all the official unveiling and pageantry of renaming the Kemmy in his honour Sat'day. Morning kick-offs are invariably real flat affairs, even L'pool/ Utd games, with everyone half asleep and hung over from the start the weekend the night before. So if the unveiling of the Kenny Dalglish Stand pre-game doesn't have people bouncing nottin' will!

Just a shame and to L'pool's detriment it's taken them this long to get around to it.

Even if he got us relegated we the fans should still be thanking him for his service. Disgraceful how he was treated by the fans during his second stint. Really ****** me off as most have no idea how much he has done for this great club.

Wont knock the lad as he gave his best everytime he played. Just wasn't good enough. Real credit to Rafa for turning around the youth system as we see through the conveyor belt of talent we have now.

Sorry mate but I'm a little lost there. Kenny got great support the match and most people were up in arms with FSG for binning him after winning the League Cup and battering Chelsea in what should have been a cup double.

Interested to read how you thought it was different? On-line?

Have to take issue there ..... What did Rafa do exactly that helped the youth ranks? He completely took control of Kirkby as he micromanaged EVERY aspect of the football club. Forcing Stevie Heighway and Hughie McAuley out in the process. (Both now thankfully back on staff and helping develop our young guns.). He filled the youth ranks and ressi's as was at the time with a ridiculous amount of foreigners. Who he insisted played. Often at the expense of any promising British/ local lad. (Which lead to a lot of Stevie Heighway's issues.). And it all lead to very little of note coming through.

The academy really started kicking on 3 years back when Inglethorpe took over and we had a major shift in everything from Rafa's still there quantity approach to a smaller number, quality over quantity ethos with top youth coaches brought back into the fold for more individual training. Along with capping first-year contracts to bring the kids up right and have them there because they want to come in to work hard every day. And not to just get too much £ before they've actually earned it.

Sorry meant online, some of the stuff I read was disgusting.

On the Rafa issue, he completely restructured the youth system from top to bottom and now we have got players like Trent, Wilson and many others coming through rather than the likes of Darby and many other failed names. Remember bear in mind it takes at least a decade to see the fruits of labour come through. Heighway and Hughie for me were living of past glory, they failed to produce anyone of note and he was replaced with a better man in Borrell and Segura plus other coaches. I know we all want to see local British players come through but at the time they were pretty useless. Also you cant give Inglethorpe the credit for the cohort of players coached through the Benitez changes led era. Inglethorpe time of judgement will come in a couple of years time.

Can't agree on the Youth structure if you look into it mate but regardless, more interested in the bolded. People were attacking Kenny? Seriously?

I mean, there's criticism when it's justified, nobody is above the club. But that sounds like it was WELL out of order. Bellends.

Although that said, it's really hard to decipher who's a genuine L'pool fan from Evertonians and Mancs when it's an open, public message board or the like so you'd hope it would just be them trolling.

Any genuine Red doing that to KK wants a severe slap. And not just one!
 
De gea is an amazing player. I really wish he moves to real any time soon. My FM saves thinks like that also.
 
Even if United somehow grab a late winner here, this game shows that they are really not as good as people thought they were after the first 7-8 games where they did not face a single team in the top half.

Flawed logic. As a Chelsea fan, you should know better than anyone this is Jose's style in big away games. Didn't stop him being your greatest ever manager, winning trophies.

I'd say good game to you Liverpool lads, but that was shocking. But hey, that's how Jose wanted it to be. On to the next.

Thats how they will most likely challenge/win the league though. Beat the lesser teams and play for a point away against the top six.

Not in today's game it's not when City are far better and play to win everywhere.

They have strong spine along with a flat track bully in Lukaku. Most importantly they have Mourinho, he will make sure they will at the very least push city right to the wire.
