They've addressed the situation of our lack of forwards at the club. Regardless of net spend or not I'm grateful for that. It's also not like they didn't try to spend more money, bidding more than 40m in total on Richards, Adam, and Young. *waves hand* These are not the Gillett and Hicks you're looking for.

I think overall, the majority of the fans have a good feeling about these new owners. What they did in the summer was a great step forward whether they spent or not, they have spent alot on their other sports ventures and have been successful, so I am hoping their fortunes continue with liverpool. This summer is going to be interesting based on this interview, because Henry clearly stated that the squad lacks depth. I think its going to be a very good positive summer with Commoli and Co but all our problems wlll not be solved in one tranfer window.
Back to Back World Champions baby!

The fact they've spent 55 million and replaced Hodgson with Kenny is a good signal of intent. These guys cant win and some of you need to choose a different hobby. Coming on here and moaning about practically every and anything. Bloody disgracefull upon times. I really hate the modern day football fan. Off the meds again are we?

I really hate the modern day football fan. completely agree. people saying they have spent nothing are just idiots looking for some reason not to like FSG. they have spent 55 million not to mention about 170k a week on wages. looks at the glazers and what they are doing at utd, they spent nothing, sold ronaldo for 80 million and shaved off a bit of their 700 million debt they've fcked utd with. H&G would've took that torres money and brought themselves a new fckin jet. and FSG wanted to spend more (i dont usually believe club propaganda but i do believe this) but we didnt have a CEO so comolli was doing all the negotiations on his own and look at the 3 deals we did, all big money and big money transfers take time. i trust these owners not because they love lfc or football but because they are amazing businessmen and they dont do failure they have succeeded with every sport venture they have undertaken so they know the only way they make serious money is by making us a serious team again challenging nay, winning trophies. we have arguably the best owners in all of sport. so whats the problem, they're american? are people really that pathetic?

I don't think its stupid to reserve judgement on a new owner. Also, if you say our new owners are spending more becuase of the wages that are paid out to players then who is paying for wayn rooney's wages? The glazers are. Which makes them santa clause in comparison because wayn rooney is paid double what our
players are. That is a commitment to success (even if wayne rooney is an overhyped player.
And yes in my book If someone gave me 3000 grand for my clapped out ford fiesta and I managed to get to better models for 1500 each then I would congratulate myself on having not 'spent any money on my 2 new cars. The fact is they havent spent any new money on players. (Remember ryan babbel was sold + torress to pay for suarez and carroll.)This doesn't suprise me and given the money clubs are asking for players who are not the best in the world I think this is a good thing. People are right to ask questions when the new regime criticises the old regime before having done much to change the situation (remember roy hodgson blaming what he inherited that got us a long way didnt it) I am not criticising the new owners maybe someone else is. Football fans allegiance to the club and therefore to the owners of the club often makes us easy targets (hence hicks and gillette)

Just fed up with the internet giving idiots the chance to voice their opinions when in the old days people would just laugh at them and tell them to shut the hell up.

We'll soon see which way the club is going as soon as the window opens again.

So far I think the owners have been good, I think they are gonna spend big in Summer. If nothing else look at their record with their other big business interests, they spend what needs to be spent to get things done. However they have only spent 2 mill at max, whilst I'm not using that to criticise them, I just wanted to point out to whoever said they invested 55 million, they haven't. They have spent what they sold, that's just a fact.

They have re invested 55 million.
Are people ever happy? If its not " spending 35 million on Carroll is to much " its " well its not actually their own money "
Makes me think that some people prefer it when the club is in turmoil.

As i clearly said I think they've done well and I AM HAPPY with them. And as much as you play around with font and under-lining, re-invested and invested are two different words and two different things buddy. I am however fully confident of investment in the summer. The owners look the part.
