VIEW FROM THE STANDS: Off-pitch scenario at Liverpool a nightmare

Nov 22 2008 Liverpool Daily Post

IT DOESN’T get any better, does it? On the pitch it’s rolling along nicely, give or take the odd missed chance or 10. But off it, oh my God.

Now it seems our abject poverty means we’re going to be railroaded into a groundshare with the Toffeemen.

Of course, there is a certain logic to this, but since when did logic have anything to do with football?

It also appears that independent analysts judge us the most financially unstable club in the whole Premier League.

We may even have to sell star players like Xabi Alonso in January. Great.

We’re also being touted around like a second-hand Mondeo – again. Talk about one step forward, three steps back.

Worst of all, whatever happened to DIC? Just cast your mind back a couple of years, to when the financial future seemed rosier than Alan Titchmarsh’s back garden. We were looking at new owners who made Abramovich look skint.

The world that now beckons Manchester City – of all people – was ours for the asking.
