Doesn't mean all were bad decisions.
Doesn’t mean they were good decisions either though.

Which is the problem - inconsistency

this was my “favorite” part



Liverpool have been bad. But this has not helped.

Pure lies, everyone on the internet knows United wouldn't win any games or score without VAR.

I saw a stat that said of West Ham's last 8 straight reds, *FIVE* have been rescinded on appeal. Incidentally, three of those against "big six" clubs. Make of that what you will.

I'll try and find the tweet I saw later.

Not really, they had the 4th 'best' net goal at +2, but far-far behind the top 3.
Yeah I can’t find the link at the moment but if memory serves LFC was very middle of the road in terms of VAR last season. British press just loves a catchy name so LiVARpool stuck but the fact that LFC only won the league because of VaR last season is a myth.

It is hard to take any fan of the Greedy 6 seriously when they complain about this topic

To be fair though, I think that's pretty much their only debt right now though. Chelsea from what I understand is owed about the same from other clubs that they owe to other clubs. Really, just providing the owed number is misleading.

That would be from 2020. This would exclude all of last summer Chelsea transfer spree.

They almost entirely paid for their summer spending spree with loan fees and sales. This was discussed quite a bit during the summer. Their net spend was -£170m in 2020-2021, but that was mostly financed through net gains of £105m in 19-20. They are also still owed money on some past transfers, like from Hazard, that are separate from the paper transfer difference.

My only logical explanation would be that LFC salaries are tied down on significant bonus for winning the league if not they have the most overpaid team in Europe.

They just won a CL and PL, then had tons of injuries. Not even gonna get a mulligan for one season before they're overpaid bums.

Not just injuries related. Some key players took significant dip in form: Firmino, Mane, Keita, Ox, Milner, TAA, Robo, Alisson. It is very worrisome.

The only players that I believe were at least as consistently good from 2020 to 2021 are Salah, Fabinho, Henderson, Gini. That's it.
