The next four months are the biggest in Liverpool’s history.
The implications if we don’t get into the Champions League are massive.
If we don’t finish in the top four it will be very difficult to attract top players and we might struggle to hold on to our key stars.
This really is a pivotal time for the club. Manchester City are pulling out all the stops to get into the top four and if we fail to make it then it could be difficult to force our way back in.
To compete financially we need a new stadium with 60,000 every week so it was pleasing to hear work is finally due to start in Stanley Park by April.
If come the end of the season the foundations are being put in and we’re secured fourth place then things will look rosy. But if the coming months don’t work out we’ll find ourselves in a dreadful situation.
Supporters are now starting to see what a state the club is in financially.
The situation with Ryan Babel just underlines it. If you got offered £9million for Babel and knew you would be able to use that cash to strengthen the squad then you would bite their hand off.
But the fact is Rafa Benitez knows that money wouldn’t be his to spend. The interest payments to the banks to finance the debts are massive and it would simply be swallowed up.
If Rafa wouldn’t be able to replace him then he is right to keep hold of a player who can maybe make an impact off the bench.
It was good to see the manager getting rid of some dead wood this week.
Andrea Dossena tried his best but just wasn’t good enough to play for Liverpool.
However, I’ll always thank him for that goal he scored against Manchester United last season. He paid back a chunk of his fee with that strike!
Andriy Voronin also looks to be on his way and hopefully Philipp Degen will follow him.
That will bring some money in but apart from Maxi Rodriguez it looks like the boss won’t be able to buy anyone else.
There’s a chunk of the Alberto Aquilani deal to be paid to Roma this month so maybe some of the cash coming in is being used for that.
It’s a sign of the times with Liverpool having to look for cheap buys, free transfers and loans.
Rodriguez has got a great pedigree and could be a bargain, but people said that about Voronin and Degen so let’s wait and see.
