why are they going to sell the only part of the franchise that they dont need to put money into to make a profit out of, just would'nt make sense... I hear what your saying but if they don't start putting money in they won't make a profit. We need to be winning and getting into the champions league to keep making money. Imagine if they don't spend and the worst happens. Relegation. They certainly won't make a profit then weather they sell or not. I really dont think thats the case with us though, we have not competed for the games biggest prizes regulary for over 20 years now and we can still turn over some profit, that does'nt happen for bigger Clubs like Chelsea or City who still need to win trophies and big ones to make profits. I think although we are no longer one of the big Clubs we are still a famous name like Benfica or Ajax, fans still think of us in a romantic way and this is probably why we can still make money without winning anything, FSG knew this when they took over, they even completed the sale with the lowest tender of the lot which makes you wonder if Hicks and Gillette have a point about being swindled, whatever happens FSG are never going to sell the golden cash cow when they have a business they dont need to put any money in to take money out...

the premiership is so poor this year that even a modest investment in a few class players would have defo brought champs league football, maybe even a title tilt.
fsg are just gutting the place so they can sell it on. pretty obvious.

Both scenarios seem plausible. I think EMP is right that a not significant amount of investment could get us right up for a fourth place finish. A title challenge is a bit far though. I know where you're coming from joe but if we do happen to go down I think the profit will soon dry up. The name alone will only make them so much money before they have to put some in to maximise their profit.

No they aren't selling. Just wishful thinking on the part of those who feel 1. FSG aren't delivering on what said people wanted from them and 2. Liverpool would get bought by some billionaire who would make us great again.
No substance to it, and short sighted thinking.

new stadium.....350/400m,
investment in the team/squad..to get a top 4 finish..70/80m
close to a billion needed, to get LFC back into the CL and become one of the top 4 teams in England, again.

one thing you all have to remember is if FSG sell LFC it will only be to another FSG style company .

LFC waz sold to the lowest bidder...FSG....WHY
people that made higher bids r still interested in buying LFC, but at a fair price, not that joke of a asking price of 450m.
if FSG asked for 350m max, club will have new owners within months.
