班主John Henry 比紅軍球迷既公開信!
大意:
我對利記向依個轉會窗收購唔到好既前鋒/進攻球員感到失望
我地向最後幾日好努力咁嘗試收購收購某d球員
但失敗左(指丹普西???)
不過我地都有3個好球員(阿倫 沙軒 保連尼)
加2個好有潛力既新星(艾斯迪 Yesil)
我地視佢地為未來重要既資產 現階段好難話佢地係水貨
而我地向依個轉會窗中都可以保留一d好球員 (艾加 Skrtel Suarez)
Skrtel and Suarez都績左約
我地感謝佢地咁相信球隊
但有人就無視我地既努力(指艾加留隊 Skrtel and Suarez績長約
大家唔應該懷疑我地對利記所做既野
羅渣士 我地既領隊 係一個才華橫溢的年輕人
我地覺得佢既組軍方針好好
我地(指利記)既重建需要時間 而羅渣士將會將佢既足球理念(give and go)灌輸到球隊中
我地既轉會政策唔係削減開支 而係向未來獲得最大既回報(好似阿仙奴 ><""")
所以我地既陣容會變得有深度同高質素
我地有份向uefa提出財政公平競賽準則
我對柏天尼既做法由衷的表示讚賞
我們必須遵守財政公平競賽準則
我地好成功咁改善左球隊經濟狀況
球隊可以向未來既幾年花費多d
我地仲汁緊前班主留下既問題
依d問題唔可以向短期解決
再加上我地入主既頭2年都搞左d問題出黎
不過大家唔好咁擔心 依家既情況已經好左好多啦
好過啱啱接手果時
我地洗錢唔一定係攞黎買人
我洗左咁多錢唔係為左留向中下游
我將目標放左落年輕球員到
球會投放左好多資源落青訓到
我地既青訓產品可以維持到利記既優良傳統(ynwa)
而發展青訓都可令球會可持續發展
我地既理念就係取勝
我地會走上復興之路
但我地唔會亂投資
黎左anfield 2年啦
我地就黎有一個啱利記既運作系統
冇野係完美嫁 轉會窗都係
但我地唔會等16weeks 直到可以買人
但我地期盼黎緊16年
可以令一間最偉大既球會重拾霸氣
雖然咁係唔易嫁 但起碼我地有個plan
我地會好小心咁洗錢 唔會再浪費
我地唔怕比錢 但我地怕買到水貨
我地唔會亂黎 我地唔會令球會再負d唔應該負既債
最重要既係 我們要贏
我地既野心驅使我地做d好既決定
依個就係利物浦!
我地會將收入投放落球會到
我地遲早可以為球會帶來更多的榮耀
最後 我想講我買左紅軍 唔係想搵錢
其實我搵唔到好多錢(做班主)
我向利記既收入係攞黎改善紅軍嫁
我只係想紅軍攞到英超
仲有比人見識到紅軍既風格
我認為我做緊d啱既野
我會實現所有fans既願望

I am as disappointed as anyone connected with Liverpool Football Club that we were unable to add further to our strike force in this summer transfer window, but that was not through any lack of desire or effort on the part of all of those involved. They pushed hard in the final days of the transfer window on a number of forward targets and it is unfortunate that on this occasion we were unable to conclude acceptable deals to bring those targets in.
But a summer window which brought in three young, but significantly talented starters in Joe Allen, Nuri Sahin and Fabio Borini as well as two exciting young potential stars of the future - Samed Yesil and Oussama Assaidi - could hardly be deemed a failure as we build for the future.
Nor should anyone minimise the importance of keeping our best players during this window. We successfully retained Daniel Agger, Martin Skrtel and Luis Suarez. We greatly appreciate their faith and belief in the club. And we successfully negotiated new, long-term contracts with Luis and with Martin.
No one should doubt our commitment to the club. In Brendan Rodgers we have a talented young manager and we have valued highly his judgement about the make-up of the squad. This is a work in progress. It will take time for Brendan to instill his philosophy into the squad and build exactly what he needs for the long term.
The transfer policy was not about cutting costs. It was - and will be in the future - about getting maximum value for what is spent so that we can build quality and depth. We are avowed proponents of UEFA's Financial Fair Play agenda that was this week reiterated by Mr Platini - something we heartily applaud. We must comply with Financial Fair Play guidelines that ensure spending is tied to income. We have been successful in improving the commercial side of the club and the monies generated going forward will give us greater spending power in the coming years.
We are still in the process of reversing the errors of previous regimes. It will not happen overnight. It has been compounded by our own mistakes in a difficult first two years of ownership. It has been a harsh education, but make no mistake, the club is healthier today than when we took over.
Spending is not merely about buying talent. Our ambitions do not lie in cementing a mid-table place with expensive, short-term quick fixes that will only contribute for a couple of years. Our emphasis will be on developing our own players using the skills of an increasingly impressive coaching team. Much thought and investment already have gone into developing a self-sustaining pool of youngsters imbued in the club's traditions.
That ethos is to win. We will invest to succeed. But we will not mortgage the future with risky spending.
After almost two years at Anfield, we are close to having the system we need in place. The transfer window may not have been perfect but we are not just looking at the next 16 weeks until we can buy again: we are looking at the next 16 years and beyond. These are the first steps in restoring one of the world's great clubs to its proper status.
It will not be easy, it will not be perfect, but there is a clear vision at work.
We will build and grow from within, buy prudently and cleverly and never again waste resources on inflated transfer fees and unrealistic wages. We have no fear of spending and competing with the very best but we will not overpay for players.
We will never place this club in the precarious position that we found it in when we took over at Anfield. This club should never again run up debts that threaten its existence.
Most of all, we want to win. That ambition drives every decision. It is the Liverpool way. We can and will generate the revenues to achieve that aim. There will be short-term setbacks from time to time, but we believe we have the right people in place to bring more glory to Anfield.
Finally, I can say with authority that our ownership is not about profit. Contrary to popular opinion, owners rarely get involved in sports in order to generate cash. They generally get involved with a club in order to compete and work for the benefit of their club. It's often difficult. In our case we work every day in order to generate revenues to improve the club. We have only one driving ambition at Liverpool and that is the quest to win the Premier League playing the kind of football our supporters want to see. That will only occur if we do absolutely the right things to build the club in a way that makes sense for supporters, for us and for those who will follow us. We will deliver what every long-term supporter of Liverpool Football Club aches for.
