I’ve given a serious answer.

Seriously though, every man and his dog could see the 5th was a fluke. Subsequent seasons proved this and It’s disingenuous to use it as a barometer.

Ongoing progress and a sense of ambition please. You know what we had under Rafa Benitez.

If you really think champions you are more clueless than I thought

Will Klopp will be the new manager then?

That’s nonsense and a bit churlish.

Klopp is ingrained in Liverpool’s culture. He has re-defined modern football. Prior to that Guardiola did.

There is always a new way of doing things.

I think he was pulling my leg.

I'm guessing 15th under new owners would be better than 5th under Ashley, a bit like 10th under Benitez was better than 5th under Pardew. ;)

Was a serious question though - what will be satisfactory?

Enlighten me then. Answer the question.

No fucks given , just glad the Ashley era is coming to an end , was the best thing all round, time to move on. I know fuck all about the new owners(potential) so I can’t give you an opinion.It was never about how far up the league we finished, ever.
 
Let’s hope they make f***ing tits out of themselves like we did and it all falls through.

I can’t help thinking that if they prospective buyers were so wealthy, how comes they have been f***ing about for ages haggling over the the amount of money that would buy you Joe Linton.

You throw a line out and it is amazing what you can catch...
 
Good luck to any one if he, she or they have hundreds of millions of pounds to spend with almost no hope of getting it back.

But, although I imagine I am in a very small minority , I would not even consider going again if Saudi money bought us. Easy to say, but I absolutely mean it. It is about as dirty as money gets IMO. They are a loathsome, repressive regime and have a lot to answer for when it comes to the export and proliferation of terrorism and islamic fundamentalism.

Great respect to fat Mike though. The world is on the cusp of a certain depression and he squeezes a deal like that out.

I was taking the piss. I will try and be less subtle next time and just say yes.

Have you not considered that the Saudi motive maybe nothing more than mere altruism. Just the joy of investing and giving something back.

Have they?

Certainly for the Newcastle fans I know, in fairness, it’s not a question of league placing per se. It’s about having a club connected to the community and trying.

They remind me that in 1992 the club was on its knees but they were absolutely behind the club.

How will the community feel about the 184 executions that happened in 2019?

Ranging from homosexuality, criticising the regime, adultry and blasphemy.
With many confessions obtained under torture.
