I wouldn't worry about it. It appears those associated with Liverpool like to whinge about clubs with more money than them. More importantly, they absolutely must remind everyone that Liverpool FC make and spend money in the right and proper way, not like these clubs richer than them with super rich owners. I suppose this is to remind everyone that Liverpool FC is the biggest and best run club in the world.

They don't care about all those clubs poorer than them. They are just either poorly run, or have an inferior fan base. Deal with it. :)

I'd say that proper United fans have also give City just as much stick as us.
I don't care what liverpool spend, I don't care what any team spends. I care that my team have wasted millions but that's a parochial issue. Pretty much only liverpool care about this issue. Some spend more than others, it's always been that way. Keep going on this line but it's hollow to every other supporter out there.

Ok, they must have been blag accounts for Arsenal, Spurs and "proper" Man u fans on football 365 and many others that I have read over the years.

Maybe your blue nose ears only hear Liverpool and Man U voices, perchance?

Goodbye Gerrard. You were awful.

Up the Villa

The cult of personality. Get a big name to be the face, and hope that the backroom team deliver the goods behind the scenes. Didn't work for Boris either.

Villa better steer well clear of Michael Beale. He's taking QPR to the premier league.

At least I won't hear any commentator referring to AVFC as Steven Gerard's Aston Villa or Gerard's Villa, or Aston Villa, Steven Gerrard's side.
If he goes to Liverpool eventually do you seriously think it would become Steven Gerrard's Liverpool?
Of course not. Some clubs are actually bigger than the manager.

I hear that sort of thing all the time. Klopp's Liverpool, Peps City, Ten Hag's United, Lampard's Everton, Howe's Newcastle, etc.

It clearly doesn't mean the manager is bigger than the club, it just highlights it is a team being run by a (often high profile) manager, who will be looking to play a certain way. Klopp's Liverpool is different to Hodgson's Liverpool, Ten Hag's Utd is different to Ole's United and Howe's Newcastle are different to Bruce's Newcastle. So, all that saying is will be to highlight whatever regime that club is under at present.

Truss is a Villa fan?
Out of a job she could become the new no nonsense manager.
Truss's Villa sounds good to me.

It seems that mention of all clubs should be preceded by the name of the manager to give a level playing field and to inform the poor old fans who do not know.
We could have Potter's Chelsea, Arteta's Arsenal, Cooper's Forest.
Maybe Dyche's Derby, Bruce's Bolton one day.

The cost in signage could bankrupt Watford.
