They won't though.
Because when the big boys aren't guaranteed a trophy every season, they'll take their ball home again.
They got it cushy right were they are.
Trophies on tap and the lions share of the income.
Liverpool were once a Second Division team. Leeds were once one of the top six teams in the land.
Football goes in cycles but that creates too much uncertainty for the money men.
So they've built themselves an impregnable fortress and pulled up the drawbridge.
The rest of us are paddling around the moat in a leaky boat trying to figure a way in.
Liverpool haven't finished lower than 8th in about 50 years though tbf.
