In a series of exchanges with a supporters' representative, Liverpool co-owner George Gillett Jr gave more credence to something that has been worrying Manchester United followers.
Bullish about Liverpool's financial situation, he pointed out the £30m from the sale of Xabi Alonso was made available to Rafa Benitez.
"We didn't do like Man U did," Gillett said. "They took all the money they got from player sales and they owed so much money, they had to use it to pay down the debt."
Maybe you would expect one of the men in charge of Liverpool to level that kind of allegation at the Glazer brothers who run the club.
But until Sir Alex Ferguson is allowed to spend at least some of the £80m United got from the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gillett's words will ring alarm bells at Old Trafford.
