I think the owners need to speak out and let the fans know their thoughts for next season.


I will listen, only if your answer contains wisdom

The fact is that the owner certainly want some good level of return on their investment! That is they will want to be adequately rewarded in line with their capital outlay. They certainly have certain projections because they are good business people. However if Liverpool cannot guarantee an acceptable level of return for the owners then they will quickly harvest the club. At the moment the club is neither a star nor a cash cow. It is hovering around the status of a question mark. It's therefore difficult to predict the next or immediate future of he owners. Will they be bearish or bull???? The only determination will be the projections of future cash flow which is absolutely related to performance. My view is that the current owners saw a great opportunity to make great investment returns considering the purchase price of the club. They immediately pumped great sums of money into their investment in order to quickly turn around the club and sell a part of minority percentage of equity which will be more than 50% of the purchasing price of the club. By so doing they would still have majority shareholding and still have 50% of the purchase price in their bank account. This has failed!!! If their financial models predict a bleak water fall, then as good business people they will do the sound thing of selling the club immediately to avoid further losses. Something tells me that they will make drastic changes this summer in terms if the technical team and restore some pride next season and sell the club for a marginal return. All is not lost because in all probability the next owners will not come in for maximum returns given the state of the club. We might get a owner who is prepared to pump in money simply for the love of the club. My two cents!!!!


Excellent post.

This club doom and gloom is BS.

Agreed that the doom and gloom is BS.

The difference is that we have an established fan base WORLDWIDE. Not just in the UK. That's the difference. Clubs like spurs will take light years to match us on worldwide revenue potential. And we have to capitalize on that.

Just look at the shirt sponsor... 20m per year. And the kit... another 20m per year. We're out-doing the scum even without CL football. And I honestly think that we out-sell scum's shirts in some countries with or without CL football.

It's all not dead. We have the commercial going the right direction and now we just need to get it right on the field to be a power house again.

Like what Stanley said, maybe give rafa a 2 year contract to get us back to CL and we'll be right up there again.

I am just wandering would the fans sacrifice buying players for a couple of seasons in order to build a new stadium? I mean might as well do it now while we are down anyway.

where the article is coming from is not that important as long as the information in it as some validity. what he said is true and i realise this from last season before kenny started shopping. made a post about it and got attacked. If the fairplay is coming in we wont have an active transfer market available similar to prior years, and all these signings are here for the long run. As long as kk is given another season you can assure that they are going to be here, when you look at a team like tottenham(not sure about spelling) they holding on to their players even if they wanted to leave (modric) and making sensible buys adebayor came in and made the major difference. I know getting a young fresh manager is on alot of fans mind and i do agree to some extent but bringing in someone without the experience and expertise isnt what the club needs now. someone with a plan and the capability of putting it in place from the get go is what we need. thats the reason im up for bringing back rafa, he isnt the best but he had a plan he already as a name, with a new young manager it is a huuge gamble, they would have to figure out what system works best, what transfer is better before you know it the fairplay comes into play and we are back to the stage with one hand tied behind our backs and we dont have the required resources to move forward. as my friend said the next decision fsg makes in regards to management is going to be the key factor in where we go and how long before we get there. i dont doubt what kk plans are will eventually come close to what he wants but the problem is the time in which it takes and what does the club do in that time period

Snakeeye I would sacrifice signings for 2 to 3 years for the stadium personally. We have seen with 2011 some signings can be a waste of money. As for the new manager is Kenny Dalglish experienced I think not he has been out of the game too long and its showing. I also question his track record when he was in the game. It is true about our world wide fan base and that is a key asset of ours. However that won't last for ever and those fans in asia etc will change following city or other clubs in the medium term. So we need to move fast to put this club on a proper footing and henry has to do it within months we cannot wait for a year or two it will be too late

Same for me! Stadium first and fast!

Money wise we're in a hurry, since fickle fans will abandon the sinking ship quite soon. Revenues will then instantly drop alarmingly.

But medium to long term having lost fickle fans doesn't matter that much, because we will pick them up again as soon as we have got the ship afloat again.
