The truth about what Dalglish has spent

[Kenny86]

Look on this link at the two seasons Dalglish has been in charge. Season 10/11 where he played a bit part Liverpool spent £80m on transfers and recouped £85m leaving a profit of £5m. Season 11/12 Liverpool spent £56.4m on transfers and recouped £21m. Therefore Dalglish has spent £35m on players, then you need to subtract the profit Liverpool made last summer of £5m and they've give him £30m. He's been in charge for 3 transfer windows so he has spent £10m on average each window. Considering we're on course to equal the 58 points Benitez achieved in his first full season at Liverpool and on course for 2 domestic cups, that is outstanding success. We've also managed to greatly improve the squad and now have plenty of options on the bench. Congratulations are in order. The cost to Liverpool for Carroll is more like £3.5m over 4 years when you work everything out.

yes in 10/11 season he made £5mill profit but last season he lost £35mill

Thats what his whole post said, net £30mil over 3 windows,
and he hasn't lost anything, it's in the current squad, which shows a lot more potential than it did before he came.

Factor in the kit deal with Warrior starting this summer for £25m a year over 4 years and the standard chartered which has 2 years to run at £20m a year and the owners have only spent £15m since they bought the club for £300m. This summers business I'd expect to be covered by the sponsers and we'll spend net about £30m and the owners will make that £15m back. Now we could buy Drogba for £100 and sell Suarez for £70m but its the net whats important. So there's money to be spent I reckon in the summer even without the Champions League. Liverpool finally looks like its being run very well.

I also think that net spending is most important. The whole discussion with respect to Andys price tag is ridicolous if you consider the whole story including Torres

We're actually not on course for 58 points! It could happen, but we are not 'on course' for it. And we have not 'greatly improved' the squad; if we had Comolli wouldn't have been sacked etc.! The team is full of weak links...and the owners are rightly concerned. Can't see how finishing 7th or 8th in the league should give rise to 'congratulations'?! Liverpool should be challenging for the top 4 spots, that's where we belong. Anything else should be seen as a disappointment; and it pleases me that the owners also are disappointed. Another season of such outstanding success (as you say) and Dalglish will get sacked as well, that is an absolute certainty. My apoligies for not sharing in your delight! The first thing a fat man must do to lose weight, is to realise that he's fat! Then put measures in place to get fit! It doesn't help saying 'actually perhaps I'm not that fat after all...!' Excuses and rationalisations is the last thing we need...a healthy dosis of reality and 'get fit plan' would be better!

I like your concept, very good and very true!!

[KKiSaluteU]

if you find it ridicolous you obviously havent thought it through , whats so ridicolous about it is that a player gets bought as the most expensive English player in history is a young lad ( that i do like ) that has had half a season at highest level, and yes scored 11 goals in that half season, but he is and prob never will be as good a player as most of the players that have actually been bought and sold for that amount of money i.e Figo, Kaka etc etc and the Torres in so many ways have nothing to do with the Carrol buy..
The way i see it if a club is willing to pay 35 mill for a player tey would have gone for him no matter what at some point, the only way the Torres sale affects the Carrol buy is prob bcoz Carrol became a desperation buy with the lack of strikers we had.. i feel certain that we would have gone for him no matter if Torres was sold or not but with Torres and Suarez here, Carrol would prob have had more time and less pressure on him ....
hope that all made sense to you ..

ps i do hope Carrol will prove the critics wrong coz i do like the lad

Funny how we look at net spend when it comes to Kenny Dalglish but many people on here overlooked the diference between net and gross when Benitez was in charge. Double standards or just blind faith?

[geralion]

Thats what his whole post said, net £30mil over 3 windows,

At least we don't have Konchesky...

This has nothing to do with Kenny : we bought 100£ players since January 2011.

[FootballScouser]

Kenny made some wrong signings but please tell me which manager haven't made the same error. At least , Kenny is man enough to stand out and said that he accepted the full responsibility of the wrong signings. No matter he will still be our team manager next season or not. He gave us many many games that we can enjoy. It is time to back our team, our manager and our players now.

[Kenny86]

Well done Kenny and all your signings against the biggest of rivals today.

Please don't kid yourself. Money spent IS money spent. With the exception of Torres, the players sold to fill the company coffers were assets that the club DID NOT value in terms of sporting progression and would have been sold regardless. Many were sold to the detriment of their possible transfer earning potential... Babel for £4.5m is the single biggest example of this (we all know Brum City offered double that less than 1 year prior).

But with the money generated via sales, the vast majority via Torres' undervalued sale to Chelsea (City were willing to pay £15m more less than 8 months prior) Dalglish and co have spent very badly. From the £71m spent on Carroll, Henderson and Downing we have assets valued at circa £30m... thats a loss in the worth of the club to the tune of £41m which you can ADD to that £35m you harp on about straight away!

In layman's terms... if you sold a Porsche 911 worth £60,000 for £50,000 and then bought an Audi TT for £35,000 thats worth £10,000 then you've still got £15,000 left to spend BUT you've effectively gone from having £60,000 worth of assets to £25,000 due to being stupid. Thats a BIG problem.

You can sugar coat it by saying your net spend is minus £15,000... but your net worth has dropped from £60,000 to £25,000 so in truth you've effectively flushed £35,000 down the toilet! Thats the essence of it no matter what anyone wants to say!

Now the only way it can get even more stupid is if you agreed to sell the Porsche for any price so long as after buying the TT you still have £15,000... regardless of the fact that the Porsche is probably worth £50,000 more I bet I've completely lost you now!!!
