So a) same players & b) same manager + diff. board = c) trophies....
Assuming this is a sentiment routed in spending, then new players means 'a' has changed in the above equation.
Thus...
Flawed logic.

It is bizarre that he says all this and Liverpool never finish above and haven't won a trophy
Money wasted to achieve nothing has become the new measure of success
No, no, we just need to spend more money on the same players......nothing he says relates to quality, just spending.
Bottom line, domestically, no club has proven a better way of financially punching above their weight at this level (unless you wanna try and quantify Leicester's fairtale)...
Unless Liverpool win the league this year any comparrisons to them (or any other team) remain moot:
8/10 finishes.
More CL qualifications.
Equally, no trophies in 10.
Similarly, a number of lost semis and finals.
I'd take Howe or Silva, honestly. But Poch isn't going anywhere. Poch gave an honest answer and people are freaking out. A lot has gone against the club this season but we are still performing in the league. It's a rough patch and we are still solidly 5th in the table.According to Andy Goldstein, who has apparently talked to lots of Spurs fans, if Poch was to go these Spurs fans want Eddie Howe as the next manager
But that's for another thread.
One thing I never get is that:
Enic borrowing money to spend on the clubs infrastructure = unambitious
The Glazers borrowing money to leverage Utd = fine
They should've been so far ahead in World football with their turnover.
Still, if your agenda is suitably loaded, as this thread proves, one can even find their way to agreeing with him.
Stoke spent that kind of money to go down to the Championship. Oh the irony, Carragher.
Another slanted piece of opportunist journalism ....
Why Spurs fans are not turning up at Wembley this season
Yet when you look at the average EPL home attendances ...
Manchester United 74,474
Woolwich FC 59,927
Tottenham Hotspur 59,652
and remember our numbers are actual bums on seats, not just tickets sold .... the Emptycrates was at best two-thirds full last night, they will still claim 58,000 regardless ....

People also forget to take into account the amount of season ticket holders that have taken up the refund per match option without doing themselves out of a season ticket long term. The attendances are just fine when you weigh up the bulk of fans that are exercising their right to skip a few matches here and there. No biggy
Funny BT have Jim Beglin on commentary, Michael Owen and Steve McManamam (all Liverpool) for the Liverpool game, all complaining about decisions and calling a wonder goal by Red Star a BAD goal, while they put Robbie Savage and Rio Ferdinand on Spurs game, Savage laughing at Tottenham's frustrations and sticking up for valid penalty appeals waved away by another rotten official.
They also showing lots of pictures of Dutch fans and "Fletch" is basically cheering them on.

For once I agree. Savage is a joke.
To be fair there the only ones making any real noise and atmosphere.
But why is the British TV company bigging them up?
Because they don't give a fuck but as a spectacle they do deserve some coverage .
I'd agree with you if they did it when it happens to Liverpool, Man.City, Chelsea, Woolwich and others when they are out shouted - they never mention it.
And "Fletch" is cheering on every tackle by the Dutch.
Criticize Liverpool? no way, a defeat is just a step to success ... cue the media report
"Exactly 45 years ago today, Liverpool suffered a second consecutive 2-1 defeat to Red Star Belgrade that was later cited as vital to their subsequent domination of Europe
It is often said that the lessons from that European Cup second-round humbling at the hands of the Serbian champions laid the foundations for the Reds lifting the trophy for the first time three-and-a-half years later
And so, with an away game against Paris Saint-Germain up next and progression in the balance, Klopp will at least hope that this defeat - and mostly importantly the manner in which it was delivered - is timely if nothing else"
So playing utter shite and losing, ignore that, it's just a step to their inevitable world domination ... you might expect that from the Liverpool Echo .. but this is from the feckin' Evening Standard ....
