KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Is £20-30 million enough for next season?

£20-£30m is what abramovich carries in small change. We need to have access to another good transfer kitty purely because we have so much Sh!te on the books it would cost a good kitty to replace them with the quality needed to get back to the top again.

I just dont think it's realistic expecting us to challenge your United's, Chelsea's and City's of this world as they are all on a whole different level to us both on and off the field, Arsenal are slightly behind them but still well ahead of us. I think we are firmly in the same category as Spurs, Ourselves, Everton and Newcastle with Spurs being the best out of us given the quality of squad they have.
I think with the right investment in players and if we can bring in a manager astute in the transfer market there is no reason why we cant challenge Spurs for fifth in the coming season's, especialy if they lose Redknapp and a few of there leading players.

I think it's obvious to FSG they have to spend. I think kitty will depend very much on who they manage to get in. Kenny will diplomatically step down after the final whatever the outcome. They don't want to rock the boat too much, they have said on few occasions that have the resource to compete with any club, after all they bought at a very good price considering Tom and jerry wanted a billion for it.

We can challenge anyone when we set our stall out properly. I think a good coach with a grip on the modern game could do that for us(this is not a kenny out reply either).

I think alot of what FSG do moneywise depends on how much the other franchises of there companies need spending on. I cant see Liverpool getting loads of money if The Red Sox need money too and vice versa also there is Ice Hockey parts of the franchise to take into consideration too, there will only be one lot of money in the pot and I would imagine it will need to be shared equaly amongst us all, this is where our rivals will always have an edge, there owners and people that run them only have one interest or at least one real interest which is the football side, the Glazers, Abramovic, the Arabs at City and Stan Kronke at Arsenal.

Hmm not too sure about that one rushy, I think the board at the red sox would be pretty vexed if money made by them would be used to fund another business.

Also sponsorship in the USA puts billions into sport so the revenues generated over there are massive also. The money that also gets payed into the players pockets aswell comes from sposorship deals aswell. We think Footballers are over paid, I wouldn't mind being a penny behind any of the top NBA stars!!

there is only one pot of money within the FSG global company and that has to do us all, they got the money from that pot in the first place to buy us with even if it was at a knock down price, speculate to accumilate is what there doing, they even started to dilute us within a month or so of buying us by selling parts of the Liverpool franchise off.

I disagree, I think the 'pot of money' gets compartmentalized into their various assets and interests. It's bad business to do as you suggested and FSG might not know football, but they do know business.

It's no good having one part of the franchise doing well while another is'nt as it will drain the money from the other franchise parts, you have to use the money to make sure they are equaly performing and making money, thats how it works, juggling act in a way.
