Ahaha, after all the crap Liverpool fans gave United fans about how their American owners care about the club, and how their American owners know about football... this is just funny. Meanwhile, we're cruising along with effectively a silent partner who finances anything SAF wants.

But despite all that, I do hope that Liverpool can get out of the craphole they're in. A manager who has loads of top class players but can't win a home game and is asking for "more, more, more" and a couple of owners who seem to want to bring money over to America rather than reinvesting in the team.
I don't rate Benitez myself and I'm unsure why others do. He's good in cup competitions when squad rotation works but a game-after-game basis in a league he just doesn't seem to do that well. Obviously as an Evertonian I like Liverpool being below us in the league, but I do think if Liverpool want to progress in the league they should replace Benitez. As for the money, I don't really have anything new to say.
