  • So when you win trophies, we always knew that could build momentum.

  • We could build a confidence that you could start, you know, get your recruitment right from them.

  • But just for me and Liverpool, it always felt to me that every every suit, every time you got close, you are the lost players or you didn't recruit.

  • You're much issue nice and probably also finance.

  • I think that's unusual.

  • Real fair that I think I think that was the summit.

  • Where was we?

  • So we sort of probably spend that money, but in about four players and you almost needed them all to wear, and it didn't quite work, and that was possibly the end of Julie's time.

  • Then, looking back, it didn't always feel like you were talking a little bit in the transfer market.

  • You wouldn't quite gold for the best place.

  • There's a feeling you either couldn't go for the best place was financially, didn't have the money or you couldn't attract the players to come to Liverpool because asked a little better.

  • You see where I'm going with all those type of players with any sort of they got So Campbell on on a free at the time.

  • But you know that type of thing where this was pretty similar fi wise, but they just become superstars.

  • But answers become Medical players think Vanga has an ability in the transfer market.

  • I think that's why I think they competed.

  • But you think he couldn't match what money wise, I think.

  • I think that's why that's what shot me in the last few years about what you have been clock's.
