We are at the biggest crossroads at the club in it's history. Football is no longer the animal it once was. Look at Spain, the clubs (apart from the top two) could not compete in the transfer Market and always looked to south america for up and coming talent. Now all the leagues in Europe do this, so the Spanish clubs instead of getting into bidding wars decided to up grade and pump a lot of money and time into there own youth development.
This is a long time after LFC started there academy and yet the amount of players coming out of say athletico Bilbao compared to ourselves is crazy. Rafa noticed this and as much as I loved Steve highway got rid of him and brought rodolfo. Since then Kelly, Robinson,flanaghan ,sterling (who looks a top player)have come in in some part.
Now there are 5 Spanish teams in the semi finals of Europe cups !!! The other 3 teams didn't spend millions and millions, they play good football and it's great football to watch. I think our youth system is finally going the right way and will start to show it's worth.
This is what FSG want, so that they can spend all the transfer budget on one or two big signings (jersey sellers) to bring the income in. When they bought Boston red sox nearly all baseball teams where building new stadiums, the other bidder promised a new one and MOST sox fans wanted that bid to win!!!! They have very cleverly turned it round. I think a new stadium is the only way at LFC because makes no sense to spend all that money form 15000 more seats. I would say they want to ground share with the toffs. That would mean building a 70,000 seated ground and all the rights that go with that, plus been able to rent it out for cup games etc etc. Try and make as much money as possible out of the ground.
With the manager, I was delighted when kenny came back and nobody will
Convince me that it was not the right thing to do. We needed kenny to come in and steady the ship and win a cup, and kenny has done that, but he is not the man to lead us into the future. Personally I would have Rafa back with Steve Clarke and comolli as well. But whomever they go with they need to give him time and we as supporters need to give him time
