    Shankly might have picked the players back in the 60’s but it was Eric Sawyer who arranged all the financing. In other words, they needed money to build the team and sign the best players.

    Go back far enough and once the wage cap was lifted every team used money to buy success. Some also tried and failed.

    No one will ever admit this though.
