I HAD a fear that when the full extent of Liverpool’s financial meltdown was made public it would look like we were back to square one.
But that’s not the case – I now think we’re worse off than that.
Just when we have our best season for years.
Just when it looks like we can finally build a team to challenge Manchester United for the title, all that hope and optimism is out on hold by this almighty mess.
It’s worrying enough that Rafael Benitez has to face another summer of trying to get in early on his transfer targets and stressing over who he wants to bring in to strengthen his side.
But the difference this year is that his main rivals could leave him lagging so far behind that he can’t catch up.
Chelsea look like they will spend big again, Manchester United will want to strengthen, Arsenal have already started buying.
