As most blogs to do with Liverpool probably start with a rant about the Yanks I thought I'd do the same. I don't know if you heard but during the fiasco and outbursts of optimism after J.C's arrival on Merseyside, the Yanks raised ticket prices by 15%! I'm still a student so I'm strapped for cash anyway but now I may have to miss out on two or three games I could have been able to see at last year's prices. I understand that to some this may not seem that bad, but I think even those of you who feel that way can appreciate how under-hand and sneaky it is of the Yanks to attempt to cover up this price rise by releasing the information at a time when most fans ears are listening elsewhere!
Another thing I would like to address is the way money seems to disappear around the traitorous duo. In the 2009/10 Summer transfer window a budget of £20million plus player sales was given to Rafa. Rafa spent: 17 million on Johnson; £16.5 million on Aquilani (With possible bonuses) and £2 million on Kyrigakos. This amounts to £35.5 million in total. Yet Liverpool received close to £40 million in player sale!! So where'd this extra £24.5 million go? It's not as if poor Rafa had it to spend in the January transfer window is it! And even in this season's window their supposed 'Substantial' transfer budget is only around £10 million! ..They have also managed to sneak the £6 million from Yossi's sale, after Woy was told he couldn't use that money for transfers as it was going personally to the owners! I'm afraid it looks like the Yanks are aiming to drain every last penny out of our club before leaving! ...Which doesn't seem to be happening very soon
Am I over-reacting?
