Tevez Posted 6 January 2008 Posted 6 January 2008 Well done Luton, they've been pissing into the wind with all this financial stuff. To draw with a time, that has won the Champions League numberous times is class. The joys of the FA Cup.
Asha Posted 6 January 2008 Posted 6 January 2008 Why should a team give there money to another club. Luton have got themselves into that mess so they shouldnt try and get Liverpool's money. They have got a replay now so they will get more money from that so... Valid opinion by the way, But i don't really agree. I wouldn't even want to see Cov or Leeds go under. It's like you have rivalrys with siblings etc...and at times you hate them, but you don't want them to die do you? No-one really wants to see a club go under, and i hope luton manage to stay afloat.
Boycie Posted 6 January 2008 Posted 6 January 2008 What would everyone on here say if Mandaric had gave Coventry money to stay in the league? My point exactly.
Durnerz Posted 6 January 2008 Posted 6 January 2008 So why should Liverpool be the team to bail them out, just because they are Premier League team? What about all the League 1 teams who visit Kenilworth Road this season and Everton who played there in the Carling Cup are they all greedy and arrogant for not giving Luton gate receipts? Maybe as now its a critical time in Lutons survival cause a team who has two Billionaires in charge of them couldn't spare a few quid that's pretty much a drop in the ocean for a Club like Liverpool, I didn't really have to give my money to Notts County but I did when they were on the brink along with many other fans, theres a togetherness in this beautiful game we all love but clubs like Liverpool just piss on the bonfire.

I see what you're saying but lets face it - League One teams don't have the finances Premier League teams have, like Liverpool. This pisses me off more because Cardiff who are also in financial trouble gave the money from gate receipts to Chasetown.
Durnerz Posted 6 January 2008 Posted 6 January 2008 What would everyone on here say if Mandaric had gave Coventry money to stay in the league? My point exactly. I'd have commended him, if it was to keep Coventry in existance, is that not bragging rights enough for us to say we have kept Coventry alive?

You talk utter shit mate! I think we should make threads about it when every team plays Luton and debate if they have gave Luton there gate reciepts or not.
Asha Posted 6 January 2008 Posted 6 January 2008 You talk utter shit mate! I think we should make threads about it when every team plays Luton and debate if they have gave Luton there gate reciepts or not. But this is the point. Their next opponents at home, Swansea. They ain't got money to swan around in have they? Liverpool, a multi-million pound club, couldn't be arsed to give £200,000. - - - And btw I would keep other clubs alive. Aged 10, on £5 pocket money a week, i gave £20 to help keep Leicester alive and likewise to help keep Rotherham alive. It's a game. If every team went bust apart from us, would it still be a good game? Every team that goes under is a massive blow to the football league.
Durnerz Posted 6 January 2008 Posted 6 January 2008 You talk utter shit mate! I think we should make threads about it when every team plays Luton and debate if they have gave Luton there gate reciepts or not. What makes you think all teams can spare that kind of money? Many teams in League 1 are just scraping by, along come a loaded club like Liverpool who can afford to spare an amount that is the equivalent of ONE of their players week's wages.
Boycie Posted 6 January 2008 Posted 6 January 2008 That £200,000 will still go a long way in the premier league you know. That money is only 2 weeks wages for Steven Gerrard So all you people who dont agree with what Liverpool have done, would the same people go all the way to the City Ground and give Forest all the money they had in there pockets. Would you shite!

Would you shite! If it meant keeping the Forest alive, yes i would. What's the point of football if there's no rivalry. I would hate to support a team whose nearest rivals were Lincoln or something because Forest, Cov etc went bust.
Boycie Posted 6 January 2008 Posted 6 January 2008 Are Liverpool and Luton big rivals you twit ? FFS shut up. No they arent, but it is just the same thing everyone saying they would hate to see a club go under, well would they write the same things if Liverpool didnt give Forest there gate reciepts and they were in administration.
Brainy Posted 6 January 2008 Author Posted 6 January 2008 Why can't you just understand that there are certain clubs in this country, Liverpool being one of them, that can afford to give Luton Town a donation? £200,000/£300,000 or whatever it is is nothing to a club like Liverpool. It's greedy and I can't see how you can deny that.
Asha Posted 6 January 2008 Posted 6 January 2008 No they arent, but it is just the same thing everyone saying they would hate to see a club go under, well would they write the same things if Liverpool didnt give Forest there gate reciepts and they were in administration. YES. We Would. For about the fifth time, no-one wants to see a club go under, whether their rivals or some shit northern team you can't pronounce. You can't make fun of Forest if there isn't a Forest.
Linekaaaah Posted 6 January 2008 Posted 6 January 2008 Wimbledon and Walsall contributed to our fund when we were in trouble. Liverpool have typified the arrogant attitude of the Premiership towards clubs lower down and I think its a disgrace. My entire family (with the exception of my oldest daughter, and me, naturally ) are Liverpool fans. Their attitude was "well, there are bound to be rich businessmen in Luton, why don't they bail them out - it's not our fault they're in trouble!" While to a degree I agree with that, I still think it's disgusting that a team that gets a fortune in TV money and merchandising can't waiver their gate money to help save a club that is in serious danger of dissappearing. Suffice to say, I didn't watch the Luton game in the same room. And the looks I got when I ran in screaming after Town equalised were priceless. As were the looks when I made the comment "It's nice to see that after a couple of months of trying and failing, Riise finally got one on target." Of course, Liverpool will probably hammer them at Anfield, but that's beside the point. I used to have respect for Liverpool and their fans. Not anymore though.

Ultra Posted 6 January 2008 Posted 6 January 2008 So why should Liverpool be the team to bail them out, just because they are Premier League team? What about all the League 1 teams who visit Kenilworth Road this season and Everton who played there in the Carling Cup are they all greedy and arrogant for not giving Luton gate receipts? In the league all the gate receipts go to the home club anyway. In the last couple of seasons both Notts County and Macclesfield have played at Chelsea while under threat of financial ruin. Abramovich helped them out by giving them both Chelsea's share of gate receipts. It's a shame that Liverpool's owners did not see fit to follow his example, especially as the Premier League and the big 4 leech off other clubs the rest of the time anyway. But congratulations to Luton for earning a replay, and let's hope their efforts earn them a suitable buyer.
WetFlannel Posted 6 January 2008 Posted 6 January 2008 Liverpool have just demonstrated how shallow they are, and consider a few quid in their pockets (which probably means nothing to them) more than the possible downfall of a football club that means so much to their fans. They clearly find a tiny amount of profit, which is insignificant to their riches, a higher priority than trying to help football in general. I would be very sad to see Luton go under, as its disgraceful to say you would want to see a club fail in this way. Liverpool are far too ignorant to realize this, and I personally want to see Luton put them to shame at Anfield. I have an extract on my wall stating: 'PROOF... there is still some decency in football', which refers to the second Forest encounter this season. I suppose this situation amplifies the headline.
Simi Posted 7 January 2008 Posted 7 January 2008 They shouldn't have asked for the money. No way. It should be recognized by other organisations late the Premier League and the FA, not clubs. The FA and others should practice what they preach a little more often.

The FA and others should practice what they preach a little more often. But when you're in a situation like Luton are in you've got to fight for every penny, even if it means scrounging. The club's life is at risk and they'll do whatever it takes, even if they don't really want to ask for the money for moral reasons. Personally I'm disapointed that one of the world's elite clubs in Liverpool can't spare a couple of hundred thousand pounds for a club that's on the verge of distinction. It just goes to show the greed in football nowadays and the lack of sportsmanship. When you're in a situation like Luton's, the fans would be so appreciative of a gesture like Liverpool could have done.

If you are all so bothered about Luton's situation i think you should all travle to Luton and all donate a fiver! So then you can all stop moaning about the most successful club in British history!

Boycie Posted 7 January 2008 Posted 7 January 2008 Why don't you bugger off and support Liverpool then and stop making twattish comments on here? They are my second team! So shut your mouth and what i just said was a good point because most people seem to be moaning about them so i will stick up for them! Alright.

Why not go and support them full-time - you may fit in well there. Along with the rest of the selfish, greedy scum.
