Getting fed up with them pi$$ing around with contracts. Making us look unprofessional and may put off future signings.
Klopp was right to retire
this is the reason he retired...else he would still be at the club
@@pixelbankuk And FSG can be very thankful he walked away and kept his mouth shut.
@ no he was paid to for breaching his contract…it’s called a NDA
@@pixelbankuk I didn't know that. Hiding something I'd say.
100% right. Penny pinching cunts the lot of them Dunc. Sell asap FSG. YNWA
Yeah, I think you're spot on Dunc. My biggest concern is that all this contract stuff will derail the season. I think Hughes and Edwards clearly have a commitment to reducing the wage bill and minimising costs , and unfortunately that is more important to the owners than another title.
Now practically half the first team are in contract disputes and it's in the public so potential signings (I know we don't sign players any more, but you know, we're gonna have to when our first team leaves on frees!) see how the club is treating current players and blow us out too.
I know non-LFC supporters think it's nailed on that we're winning the league. I have absolutely no confidence that's gonna happen and it's mostly because of the way Edwards and Hughes are operating.
The look on Konate face when he said the club had made him an offer.His expression was that of the club taking the piss, he scoffed.
hes as good as VVD (or has been this season) he had a bad game the other week like everyone but he has been very good.
@@ANFIELDRkonate is not as good as van dijk stop talking shite
@@theherogothamneeds1014 yet this season he has been. do your research.
@@ANFIELDRI did. He isn’t. Do your game watching.
@ Duals won vs VVD? you dont even know.
Most of the big earners have been offloaded since 2022 ! 3 amigoes are next on the list .
I’m still not convinced hughes is a real person and not AI . Edwards will just get the journos to do another hit piece on klopp to blame him for this window being a disaster again 😂
Lowball fc, what's going on with fsg 😭😭😭
Well, we're top of thr league and top of the Champions League with next to no money spent, and they quite like that 😅
It's arne slot who got the team playing well but I can see us falling away big time next season because FSG are happy what they see so far and don't feel the need to spend, if this season falls apart like it did under klopp I'm sure Liverpool fan's won't be so forgiving towards thiem next time
None knows what is being offered, could be years of contract, nothing to do with money. Stop jumping speculation, until the facts about it come out
@josephrelph5235 Come off it. It's highly unlikely that it's not about money
@TerribleEnglish do you know for a fact? I'm not a FSG fan, if you are convinced that it's money, then nothing will change your mind
I’m shouting the same thing about so many players in contract talks and not signing
How many of the current squad will be leaving for various reasons during the summer ? At this rate it could be 6 or more .
If we don’t sort this out we’ll lose them all
They take the piss. They are going to destroy this squad. Had me in tears at Runme Abath. Keep up the great work dunc.
We are so CHEAP. Players talk nobody is going to want to sign if this reputation grows.....
because the club doesn't generate profit over the long term. although the value of the club has gone up significantly in the last 10 years.
Virgil = alpha male quietly assured always protects smaller players great interactions with the kids and mascots that come to the club
This is absolutely criminal what's going on with FSG and those that work for them regarding these players contracts 😠
FSG are not involved in these conversations by in large with contracts.
I’ve been supporting Liverpool now for 30 odd years and I’ve never known anything like this.
Back in my day when the club wanted a player or wanted to renew a contract it was just done.
No bullshit no drawn out negotiations just sat down with the player well before his contract was due to expire they’d have a chat and that would be it, it be done. Can’t even remember the name of the chief executive at the time think it was a chap called smith. But that shows how good he Was never in the headlines got everything done quickly and quietly behind the scenes.
Mind you this was back in the day when Liverpool were challenging for the league every single season. Finishing second was seen as failure.
I’d love to see that attitude and mindset back again. Like if fsg rang Hughes and Edward’s today and said if we don’t win the league this season and next season then your both sacked. That would give em the kick up the arse that they need.
Hughes and Edward’s could learn a lot from previous regimes because if this backfires there will be bloody murder.
that was before Saudi League was throwing around mad money
Well said Dunc!
Could it be richard Hughes is only used to negotiating bournemouth level contracts and wages, and has not adjusted to the expectancy of wages and contract structure at a club the size of Liverpool.
I totally agree with your view that Edwards and Hughes are trying to prove 'how good they are'... But at some point they need to 'close' a contract extension, otherwise players will lose interest and/or faith in the club. There's too many contracts being 'negotiated' at the moment without anything concluded. Too many lose ends .... Bloody frustrating as a supporter that they are unable to make a statement to the players as well as the supporters 😡
Thanks
"Just like us on Facebook market!"
😂😂 Had me rolling that, Dunc.
Spot on guv!
We cleared out about 4 or 5 players in the summer.... Where's all that money saved on wages FFS
Absolutely 💯 agree with you Dunk. I just wish they’d sort them out one way or another, it’s been going on for months. It should have been sorted in the summer. I hope we don’t blow the league coz of this shite.
It's a tough one... We were all happy to get McAlister and Diaz cheap, praising FSG at thè time?
Both have been brilliant and deserve a raise. They actually wanted to play for LFC
FSG are not involved in the running o the club in he main.
@@ANFIELDR K 0.o
Half the team is leaving in the summer and we will get no one in.
Yes big Dunk ye the only fella i watch regarding our club
We need to be sorting out contracts, what on earth is Hughes doing? This looks awful for our club
Keep up the passion and true love for our club 👍🙏
🫡
Dunk you brighten my day brother I love watching your videos I genuinely appreciate you I was in tears of laughter,fuck um all mate keep up the great work 😂😂😂
It is worrying but it’s nice we are not moaning about performances ….
That was a great Russ Abbot impression by the way 👋
I agree that the club might be low balling the players. But on the players side I believe a few players might be saying ‘I’m worth more to match my contribution to the team’. But I think some of that will be the agents and other player at other clubs influencing that mind set. Diaz should be on more money than he is but as it stands I don’t believe he should be on money to match VVD , Salah or Trent. He also shouldn’t be on money to match the likes of Robbo or Konate. He’s probably worth the same sort of money as Gravenberch. Unfortunately for Diaz though I believe if Grav continues the way he is he’ll soon be worth more like Robertson. Where as Diaz probably won’t exceed what he does right now.
Those players should say stuff it Edwards, Hughes and FSG and leave. The owners and management don't really care about the players and the fans. People who keep saying that FSG has done a lot for the club should realise that they are not football fans, they are just business people who do things for their own financial benefit. They don't care about the rest. FSG out.
Hello Duncan. New here! Yeah, I seriously don't know what the game plan is from LFC management. Are they planning seismic wholesome changes in the summer to meet Slot's expectation for the future or are they out of their depth?
It is so strange that so many players are stalling on their contract renewal.
This could backfire if we are not careful.
They ought to have sorted the VVD, Trent and Salah contracts as quickly as possible because the longer it drags on, the more players look at the situation and stall on their contracts.
Taking the piss is so true in this situation.
They really are edging towards destroying the team , and as a consequence, the club . Why would Salah wait around much longer if he feels badly disrespected…don’t think I would anyway.
I think you are pretty much spot on.
I’ve heard the dole are offering Konate and Diaz more a month and with change to buy Asda smart price 4 pack of beans
Great video Dunk...spot on with everything you said.
Hey thanks for commenting Mark. I hope you're ok.
I really hope that Edwards and Hughes are not going to turn out to be the reason our season turns to shit.
Get them contracts sorted out. You've one f*cking job, start doing it.
Just get the god dam contracts sorted, it’s an absolute joke. These are the main players and to replace them would cost a fortune 😱
Nothing would surprise me about FSG/Edwards/Hughes anymore, all cheap as 🍟.
Some of it due to new European financial regs designed to level the playing field in terms of finance across the Europe league
We talk about how much of a shitty club Real Madrid are but I believe we are slowly becoming as arrogant as they are the way they are treating the players contracts and the fans expectations too. They better be careful because this could go pear shaped real quick for them.
Dunk, IF Ed & Dick are holding back in informing the 3 players and their agents that the club will agree to the players' demands, there's a significant risk that these players' performances (Salah has underperformed last few games). It's a very dangerous ploy. I hate these games too
Agreed mate. Suits with big ego's (& agents with big egos)
I think your spot on Dunc with the contracts and Edwards & Huges.
Future signing will think a million times to join LFC because what’s going now with the contracts of those very important players VVD TAA Salah👑 Alison and Konate
Arne was fed up with contract questions in November
Think your spot on Dunk, the look Konate gave when he gave that reply tells a tale I think. It literally was they taking the piss look. Runme Abath definitely wants MO money for Mo
which is fine its not all Mos money he is thinking about his family and roots.
Any chance Slot doesn’t actually see some of these players in his future? Maybe not the case with Ibou but I just can’t understand how all these contracts aren’t being extended otherwise
I think the contracts have been blown out of proportion if everybody just quit playing into the journalism and let the lads play football if they go they go nobody is bigger than the club 💥
Agree 1000% bro, feel the club will wait this all out till after the transfer window, get some easy wins when they announce the likes of Konate signing.
who has been brilliant
It would be good to know whats actually being offered and whats being asked for.
Mooo Salah..one more time please or in your next Vlog , first word you say !:D
Isn’t it crazy How some brainwashed deluded fans “top reds” still don’t have an issue with the ownership/hierachy spends amd would defend them to their dying breath! When there’s so many players rejecting contracts, they can’t all be greedy shits taking the piss
Then for once loads of players available in January n nothing gets done but they dont see the common denominator.
And don’t understand that yes the clubs steady/stable and reasonably well ran, but we literally spend like we’re mid table and dont have ambitions to compete! Just get top 4 and bring in as much money as possible
They won’t criticise FSG in case they lose their access. It’s clear FSG are cheapskates with regard to wages and player contracts. They are taking the piss.
@ 100% agree and I don’t necessarily think they’re bad owners their pet decent in the whole, but they kill all enjoyment and they’re not prepared to run a club the size of Liverpool. They have to get it right every time or it falls apart.
It’s like we have a trauma bond because hick and gilette were bad. So our standards on the floor
If all this goes pear shaped I hope they're prepared for the backlash
FSG wont care they have made an unrealised killing on the club....
It's unreal how crap this is. Why can't we just pay the folks that have made us great? Very frustrating. Thanks for the updates. I look forward to them daily.
Haha 😂, l love it when you say it as it is. But you're right, they're taking the blasted piss Brian
😅
ye thats why I like this channel you make the odd joke without the language police coming in. For the FSG haters they have ran the business very well for their aims. Do I wish they put in the odd 20m here and there of course I do, but look where they have taken us from 10 years ago..... So I am more neutral about them. The majority of women on the TV commenting on the mans game have no clue and I switch off, the viewing figures agree with me.
What I can see is us loosing a load of our best players, an next thing ya know we are the next man united, scary.
yep I see that now.
Do you think the players and agents have got together to break Hughes and edwards
We all know why Klopp left and it wasn’t because he was ‘tired’, other than being tired of Liverpools owners being cheap and making his job impossible. Slot is just realising what he’s up against.
Virg, Konate and Diaz are the more important deals imo
former two yes, Diaz hit and miss
@ apart from Vinicius jnr. Whos better in that position ?
Hes a grafter, never injured and has got that Suarez type of grit about him.
Its just a good job Barca are skint because with our owners being top sausages with contracts he’d of been gone by now
To many contracts at big key players be problems.I hope Fsg can fix the mess.
Richard Hughes and micheal Edwards couldn't sign their own parcels if they tried 🤔 🙄 😂
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the players don't like Edwards and maybe they are taking the piss and giving him a hard time. Especially if the reports of Edwards falling out with Klopp. Most of the current players see Klopp as a father figure. That's on top of Edwards clearly thinking he is the big boss and can do what he wants. I don't think Edwards wants any players that are too powerful
FSG ON A PAR WITH DANIEL LEVI 😡
Pretty sure even spurs have actually outspent us 😂 we’ve bought one defender in 5 years and only bought midfielders last season because Saudi offered us aloe of money up front for fab and hendo
Pissing me off as well D, the lack of communication from the club is worrying, JH needs to get off Linda for a bit and sort his football club out. We are about to squander a great chance of silverware this season
If they let our 3 boys go and keep on low balling contracts, they will literally destroy everything Klopp built. It's actually ridiculous, would've thought Edwards would care more, Hughes seems like he is a lost case. This is why Klopp was necessary to keep them on a leash and fair to the players. Maybe this is why players keep rejecting us🤷 honestly FSG and these 2 can do one
FSG need to sell up and bring Edwards and Hughes with them, bad enough they won't splash the cash on top targets in the transfer window, but they can't even retain players because they won't give them a wage that merits their contribution to the team not good enough
Dunc I normally watch on the firestick I am not signed in so I can't leave a comment I have been watching you for 10 years you were making videos from the hotel when your mam was in hospital YNWA
Great! Thanks for letting me know this. I never thought about that! Cheers pal!
never trusted Salahs agent and expect him to be taking the piss, Moneyball strategy doesn't include keeping valuable players long term, remember why Edwards left in the first place
Dunc only last week they were embarrassed when orstien came out with the article regarding the Napoli winger , next day he's available and we Never pick up the phone. Cheap bastard's is all they are. It's like their deliberately trying to derail our season . It's like were starting to run the club like utd 🤦🤦🤦 sooner the better we get new owners. Thanks again Dunc
Thanks Dunc, fsg come across as right penny pinchers
I appreciated the video the first, but by the second time not so sure😂
Hughes and Edward’s really worry me when it comes to these contracts… I’m starting to think only Virgil is going to stay and the rest will leave on a free.. I think konate will sign eventually
I've been saying this for months Dunc. I reckon it's Dubya behind it all, business man ego trying to get the best deal over the player. They're all about reducing costs and increasing income. Wages are a huge chunk of their deficit.
FSG are that low, they'll be using the players status and loyalty against them.
4th biggest turnover in world football, 11th highest net spend in the prem.
FSG out.
You didn't mention Kelleher, Dunc - I heard he's on peanuts?.. 😮 I think lowballing Mo is ok as he's on too much as it is (compared to the others), but not the others.
Dunk do you think FSG lack of investment and contract situation is a sign they might sell the club, there could be good reason for this they may want to concentrate on sports ventures in America and use Liverpool as capital to buy other sports teams
They offered $750million to one baseball player that's 750 grand sterling a week for 15 years yet half our first team are fighting for scraps they don't care what we win All they're worried about is squeezing every cent they can out of the club so they can buy Boston Celtics we're just a cash cow to them
Could it be FSG want out and don't want to sign players on big money, making the club more sellable???
Contract extensions are the new signings ,from now on.
Lol, Funny as feck mate, you get wound up more. 🙂
For me, Diaz is a tricky one. I don't think he's really that important to the team.
We can't have nice things as liverpool fans 😂😢
If this is Hughes and Edward’s showing off how great negotiators they are they are failing miserably they’ve done nothing but sign a keeper for a year later and the opposite of one of the seven dwarves! Slot was a good appointment so far but it’s klopps team he’s playing with and it’s his standards he’s drilled into them. I’m taking nothing away from slot at all as his tweaks and subs have been amazing I just hope it lasts. I just worry for him and the club under this management team. If we don’t get kerkez when Hughes has been told Utd are interested and they will be as they’ll want to rebuild under Amorim, it’ll be a disaster because he’s dealt with kerkez before (not the agents but you’ll know the link there) plus being mates with Zubermendi’s agent (who is apparently going to arsenal) it makes him look like a complete and utter fool imo. Mamoush is another one! We have the Egyptian king a player I’m sure he idolises playing for us yet he’s gone to city (I believe) why? Why haven’t we gone all out to get him if Nunez, Diaz and salahs futures at the club are uncertain. Jota is always injured. If we did have interest in mamoush I think salah could have had a say and mamoush would have listened….. sorry for such a long post got so much to say and on the live streams you can’t explain as much as it’s restricted. Thanks Dunk 🫡

FSG and Edwards are going mad now... If someone is deserving of a good pay then pay them.
At least now they know Trent is 100% leaving so they can put that money into VVD, Salah and Ibou.
I still aren't sure about all of this. I'm baffled.
@@koptalkI understand Salah but not giving VVD a new contract with what he wants is crazy. It’s clear he IS the backline, an INCREDIBLE captain and has many years left at the top
If We lose all these players to these players because of the flutes in suits there will be war against the owners
The reality is John Henry is Cheap
FSG doing FSG things (look at the redsox)
Any updates on Elon buying the club? 😳
LOL
I feel the same Virgil wont be taking the piss, its these cheapskate owners!
Not so long ago everyone seemed made up we had appointed Hughes and Edwards, now I’m beginning to wish they had stayed away cos they seem fuckin useless
Says who Dunk, Konate contract low ball? Everybody jumps on a comment Konate made about contract. Nobody whats been offered, could be the amount years, not money orientated
This video isn't only about Konate. Diaz for example is claiming to be low balled.
Fyi lads do you all know that #Konate is still not 💯percent fit he force himself to play and take pain killer because Gomez is also injured Why on earth a big club like #Liverpool still not buying players that badly needed to be able for those injured players to heal first before playing again and also VVD TAA Salah👑 still no contract offer that acceptable and fair to those players next season Konate and Alison contract will be another big issue
You look like you need a LONG holiday. Everything except the football at LFC is so stressful.
All kloppos players getting rid of. By edwards on behalf of glasses
Lfc players sit tightly together we’ll come and get you don’t sign anything 😮😂
You think there anything in Robbie Fowler view that hr thinks 2 have already signed and they're holding off announcements til other decides?
Just uploaded a vid on it
drivel
I thought it was a good theory at first, but the more I think about it, the less so.
Salah and VVD are their own entity with huge status, would you expect them to wait until the end of the season for a balloonhead to go through with his Mayeeeeed dream????
how sad for konate..only 100k a week..poor poor offer..when normal humans working to help others have to work 2.3. years..for one week of his wage..us idiot fans..taking food from our families to make them own 100 houses..well done
