"Liverpool's decline began with Hillsborough in 1989, and the toll it took on Kenny Dalglish," according to Paul Tomkins, the author of several books about the Anfield club. "Roy Evans and Rafa Benítez took title races into May but once United had overtaken Liverpool in 1992 they had the formula for success: a winning mentality, managerial stability and increased riches."
Tomkins recently released Pay As You Play, which uses a Current Transfer Purchase Price Index to calculate how much past transfers would be worth in the current market. "At the time of United's first modern-era success, Liverpool had the most expensive squad in the newly formed Premier League. In today's money, ****** ******* spent £127m on Paul Stewart, Dean Saunders, Julian Dicks, Mark Walters, Michael Thomas, Neil Ruddock, Nigel Clough et al, and roughly £100m of it was not recouped; poor signings, poor investments. Liverpool have never fully recovered."
Hea, et keegi veel mäletab.
