Or is Exeweb filling up with completely clueless muppets this season??
The number of idiots talking about the lack of quality and/or effort from our players last night is a complete joke!!
WTF is going on here?!?!
Seriously, let's look at the facts and put this into perspective.............
Last night, Liverpool put the following players on the pitch:
Reina - £6m (rumoured over last few seasons to be moving to various clubs with fee in the region of £20m)
Suarez - £23m
Henderson - £16m
Downing - £20m
Carroll - £35m
Adam - £7m (rising to £8.5m)
Meireles - £11m
Skrtel - £6.5m
Total of the above = £124.5m
Exeter put the following players on the pitch that cost something:
Archibald-Henville - £50k
And that's it.
If you were to estimate our total gate income in the league since 1980, you would get something like:
31 years x 23 games x 5000 average crowd (probably over-estimate) x £10 average entry price (bit of a guess, but probably not far off) = £35.65m
So, last night, just 8 of Liverpool's squad cost 3 and half times our likely TOTAL GATE INCOME FROM ALL OUR HOME GAMES IN THE LAST 31 YEARS!!!
Play with the figures a bit and it's still ridiculous.
Yet some see fit to moan.
Just get bent the lot of you.
