It's a difficult one. I think LFC TV is good, solely because of it's content. We have so much history, and success spread throughout the existence of the club, that day after day the channel can remain fresh and interesting.

Man Utd have only really won a lot of trophies since they floated on the stock exchange and became more of a business than a football club. They have performed superbly on the commercial side, leaving all others behind in their financial dealings (don't count Chelsea or Man City because they're simply rich man's cock extensions), and in an age where money means everything they have won a lot of silverware. However as it's all so recent, and fresh in the mind, the channel probably(I've never watched it obviously) doesn't have much long term content.

I mean, they're hardly going to run a series on "Man Utd through the 70s and 80s - The fk All Success Years" are they?

How old are you? - you sound like someone who only heard of LFC in the 80s when people in mullets with perms were lifting trophies!

United may have had some harder times in the 70s and 80s, but in the 50s and 60s they were a very successful team. Even the 70s and 80s brought some cup success.

The success on the pitch is very little to do with the floatation, and a hell of a lot to do with picking the right manager and sticking with him.

Yes, United spend money - money which is earned through success on the pitch - but they've still managed to spend less and win more than LFC in modern times....

36. I 'heard' of LFC in 1978(I think), but didn't go to the ground until 1980.

Define 'modern times'.

Since the last time LFC won a title.... they have spent more and achieved less.

Nice to see we've signed a couple of young midfielders for a bargain basement price today, too smile

Are you SURE that's correct? I know Houllier wasted tens of millions and the jury's out with Rafa too, but I thought you'd spent more, but made more from outgoing players due to your MASSIVE youth setup (funded by the floatation).

We're challenging Citey in the transfer window, just signed the best (under 18) player in..........Iceland. £300k - GET IN!

It's the net spending that's important.

Any fool can buy expensive players, find out they're useless, then dump them back on the market for peanuts.

Youth sales are only a very small income for United - none of which was funded by the floatation. That was all the work of SAF and would have happened regardless of the floatation.

One single example. What a failure of SAF's policies over the last 20 years.

Is the LFC channel any better?

Most football club channels are ste. Especially on 'freeview' days.
