It was all part of their history and you know that liverpool fans is always proud of their history. Too bad that the team is having breakdown ever since they last won premier league and whats the worst is that the club legends steven gerrards never got any premier league title for all his football carrer
The problem is in 1992 when the English League gained lots more cash & exposure from Sky Sports Man United were very good at marketing themselves abroad & getting shit loads of cash by promoting Manchester United 'the brand'.
Liverpool got complacent & didn't take advantage of their huge name, Liverpool haven't won the PL since 1991 ironically the year before Sky Sports.
Liverpool are still at Anfield & the stadium is currently being extended the capacity will still only be 53,000 or something like that.
Old Trafford is like 80,000. Imagine how much more cash they make from ticket sales.
Then factor in Abramovich's & Sheikh Mansour's pimp money if you get what I mean it is very difficult for Liverpool to compete.
In 2010 Liverpool's previous owners nearly made them bankrupt, they were borrowing so much cash against the club using them like a credit card & RBS the bank said enough was enough. Liverpool were 2 or 3 days from going into administration.
FSG bought Liverpool off the bank in 2010 & have been developing Liverpool financially off the pitch. Financially they're in a much healthier position. Obviously you have Barca, Real, Man Utd etc but I think Liverpool are now registered the 8th or 9th richest club in the world.
With Klopp now things should begin to improve, let's wait 2-3 seasons & hopefully Klopp can repeat his success at Dortmund. He needs time though & patience.
