I woke up this morning feeling dog rough, and just remembered I was in a pub drowning my sorrows with many other fans. Quite a few people were unpicking various things as you can imagine and gobbing off about what’s going on.

 

Anyway, I’m sat by the door and not long before closing three guys get up from a table to leave. No one had paid any attention to them or noticed them really. They had their backs to everyone I think, but when they got close I recognised at least two of them. Lets just say they work at the club in roles with the first team. I wonder if they will feedback anything they heard - as you can imagine people were leaving no stone unturned in offering their views.

LCFC Stasi.

You'll find everyone in that pub who were bad mouthing the club, will be banned

The big what if, what if we made the CL.

 

Would players have become more hungry?
Would contracts have got extended?

I feel like it would have delayed our decline, which ironically might have been enough to keep us in the EPL, considering how the EPL is looking more like a closed shop now, we basically got relegated the season before it became very hard to get relegated, but who knows.  Wolves would be as good as gone if this was even a few years ago, Palace crazy start might have not had a recovery either, but now even lower mid table teams are almost assured 14-18 points against promoted clubs now due to the bigger gap.

Much more money and less PSR constraints. Rodgers may have got his refresh, which although at the time felt like a massive excuse, was needed.

I genuinely think a few years ago Man United with this team would be in a right relegation scrap, and similarly to our side that went down last time, I don't think they'd have the fight required for it.

PSR is finally starting to take hold and strangle the game.

 

Reality is, the gap will widen even further within a few years.
