Title says it all really!

They cleared the decks in the summer and FAILED to buy replacements

They supposedly had the money for a Stadium as part of the takeover - FAILED

This Winter they have FAILED again. Getting rid of Sahin and Cole and buying a player who they said they had the funds for last summer!

Inept owners, Unwilling to invest as evidently clear by the last 2 years 4 months.

FAILED to take us forward. FAILED to invest. Noone in their right mind buys a global sporting brand the size of LFC and decides to run them as being self sufficient.

Prior to FFP coming in would have been the perfect opportunity to invest. But NO They FAILED to see that.

Everyone is quick to castigate BR and Ayre. Painting Ayre / Rodgers outside Melwood. But they are only potentially a small part of the problem!

FSG have FAILED us, And will NOT take us forward.

Where the HELL are the Fans campaigning against them NOW?

Sod waiting 2 weeks! They've had plenty of chance to turn this ship around... But guess what? They have FAILED!

I blame them for the managerial appointment this squad is underperforming a good manager would be doing better with these players.

Leaving BR with a squad of 16!!! outfield players is hardly fair on the manager!

Most teams struggle to pick 25 and loan players out!. We are almost a whole team short!

So BR's appointment aside your happy with owners who have lied..

They LIED about the Stadium.

They LIED about being able to compete

They LIED about getting a replacement for Carroll

The most worrying this is their determination to loan players out to get them off the wage bill.

Carrol - no replacement. Now Cole and Sahin released - OK, both on huge wages but are we still paying part of it? Now there's talk of Coates and even Downing being loaned out.

I understand giving players experience then bringing them back, but Downing doesn't need to be loaned out.

Clubs will see us an easy target to get a few cheap players on loan, help them out then dump them back. Started with Aquilani and what a complete disaster that turned out.

The worst thing is there doesn't seem to be replacements lined up, with an already thin squad.

To top it off we're now in for Ince and don't even seem to be looking at Sneijder. That says it all really.

Jay is spot on. FSG are here to make money- they dont give a monkey about the club or supporters. We are going down the AV route who did exactly the same as FSG. Spent decent money in the first season and then it was down to cost cutting.

BROD is the wrong man to manage Liverpool- this club is too big for him and he doesnt understand the ethos of LFC. He is basically a YESMAN like AYRE and thats why he got the job.

The sooner FSG sell up and [oops] off back to Disneyland like the previous 2 muppets the better and they can take BROD with them.

I wish that was the case but I just don't see it.

More people see BR as being the problem... He maybe a part of it. But the underlying issue of having owners who have not invested a single penny. Lied consistently. And their form show not a single sign of turning around.

Cole's gone, No replacement. Sahin's Gone, No replacement. Sturridge in, 6 months too late.

So they have got rid of 2 players and bought NO-ONE!!

FSG are a disease which is bleeding the club dry, Pandering to it's fan base and the majority of fans are lapping it up!

They have had almost 30 months to show their intent. Now it's too late for them....

Oh but don't worry they'll buy Tom Ince for £7 million a player who they FAILED once already.

Tom Ince pffft My how far we have fallen...

I honestly can't see BR getting us 6th with the playing staff we have, Far too many kids, Far too many "prospects". Not enough men prepared to fight for the cause.

They did some foolhardy spending a few months back (Thanks Damion?) and are now having to overcorrect. I don't like it... no one does... but I wouldn't paint it so black and white. The stadium issue is a difficult one... but progress does need to be made and the fans are right to start getting impatient. Regarding squad investment, I do think they could buy a couple more in January... but if they decide to wait to summer then they have to support BR and his efforts in a transition season and give him assurances. There ARE positives and progress is being made in some areas. I think we are looking to build slowly, get a dynamic youth product going, bed in some long term players (like Man U did at the beginning of the 90s) and correct the overspending on players like Cole. They are still making mistakes and learning how to run a club... but I think we'll kick on with a bit of continuity and some wise investment.


They have not invested since the initial asset acquisition took place.

KK / DC 's signings came to around £35 million NET... That money was from the RBS loan which H+G took out to fund the stadium.

The stadium issue seriously pisses me off!!! Have you been round Anfield recently? Or in the last 5 years? It's a Ghost Town! You can drive through it and there are hundreds of houses empty, boarded up. With no sign or regeneration until FSG make their bloody mind up.

Yes it's a difficult decision. But for due dilligence to take this long is another sign of inept ownership.

Where is the money they needed to have had for a Stadium? Did they lie? Did Martin Broughton pick the wrong people? Certainly looks that way to me!

So they have not invested. They have lied repeatedly... And we're just supposed to take the PR offensive's letter to the fans for example on face value? Even though they've been found out!

They do not have the funds to compete. They continue to sell players without any sign of replacements..

Looks like asset stripping to me. Once they hit that magical sub 50% wages they'll be open to offers...

Just because FSG dont spend money like Manchester City does'nt mean they are the wrong owners, they are trying to run the Club right and stopping us going into debt like last time, am glad they dont spend money we have'nt got that way it wont come back to haunt us later on down the line...
