KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The truth about FSG

I back up CP1972's comments FSG have invested very little. Remember this was a club they took over in dire need of substancial investment on and off the field. And if one more bozo says they have wiped off the clubs debt I will scream.

So how much did Downing, Hendo, Adam, Enrique, Coates, Suarez and Carroll cost?

I agree and have taken a different view in recent days. All the drama is from the media, who says that you should behave in a certain manner? In Italy and Spain it is also very open and in Germany which is the best run league the director of football is king certainly not the manager. FSG have basically said if you want to manage Liverpool make yourselves known and we will consider you fairly but the job is on our terms, they will not court anyone. Isn't this the right way? We are Liverpool FC and are big enough to do this.

I am warming to the idea of Van Gaal and Rodgers as this offers european experience and contacts whilst Rodgers is hungry and brings new ideas with an exciting way of playing. The club has to be crystal clear and so far they have been. Because no egos have been massaged this is rather professional and maybe its the pompous managers who should really take a look at themselves. In Industry you have to apply for a job and sell your merits, why should football be different. The response usually is that your current employer would offer a better deal to you not turn of you for being disloyal.

I think we may actually have the right people in place although I think they should spend alot more.

Too much. But they got a huge amount back in player sales to finance that cock up by Kenny and Commoli

stan, i know you have a very big mouth and very little to say with it, but please don't call me a bozo again.

What you on about?

previous page of the thread.

come on Pops you have all people should have got this by now. Under Moores our annual net spend was roughly £17million - this is what the club has to pay out. He sold the club because he could only just afford this committment and therefore funding anew stadium would take away any transfer funds, he sold the club so a new investor could build a new stadium whilst supplying
Hicks/Gillete basically forced Rafa to only spend what was sold and then even worse he only got about 50%. Thats why we lost Alonso, Keane, Arbeloa, Benayoun and then even Mascherano was sold on the cheap to pay a bank installment.
FSG have sold good players for good fees and replaced them(this is not a player basher mail). So on a weak squad(Hicks/Gillete even Hodgson) FSG have re-placed what went recently but not what went before. So think about it 30mil to improve Hodgsons team is not a great amount of money. Consider UTD 40+ mil on a EPL champions team. QPR have spent 22mil on their team.

But they still spent 110ish mil. Sure they got money back, but they still spent that much, and didnt KD continue to say they FSG told him to get what ever he needs? I personally think they have spent money and lots of it. But will they do it again after last time, I actually believe that we'll see a bit of money spent.

yes but Newcastle have spent even less and they managed to have a much better team
