to be fair our wage bill was big enough for a top four side. we are no longer in the top four and no longer have the income from the champions league.
and anyway, for the majority of players that have been offloaded during FSG's reign, how many of those can you actually say represent value for money? all of them were well over payed and we're not much worse without out them.
we haven't received any money from the joe cole deal so i don't get why this is a reason to suddenly bring in another player on the same wages. we payed him a compensation package to allow him to leave for free, thought to be in the region of £3m/£4m... still leaving us at a massive loss.
i agree with what some people have said about the owners, that the sturridge deal should have been made 6 months earlier and we were left far too short up front. it was a bad move from FSG but i think its too soon to start calling for their heads.
what are they supposed to do? throw more and more money at the problem? we've tried throwing money about, got ripped off and ended up with a load more deadwood. its about time we tried a different approach and focused on producing our own players. maybe players our cards close to our chest, making out we don't have a lot to spend is the right way forward. especially after all these inflated agent fee's being talked about.
january isn't exactly the best time to do business is it? if you can pick up one or two players with experience in english football or the odd bargain then great, if not you wait until the summer. we should have a decent transfer budget come then. but right now i honestly don't think another signing is going to dramatically change our season. andy carroll comes to mind
and get off tom ince's back. everyone was slating sturridge a couple of weeks ago, now he's come in and scored twice everyone has kept their mouths shut. if we do bring ince in we've got a player far too good for the championship. look at his record ffs, for a winger its phenomenal.
FSG have been sucsessfull in one thing. FAILING
They have failed in every single window thus far. They over spent and wasted money to begin with. No they are cutting costs way too far. Wage bill gone down by £30 million a year.. Where is that money? What are they doing with it?
I'm sick to death of the January window is not the based time to do business debate.
err Chelsea just got Ba for £7 million. Remy is on his way for £8 million. etc.. Jelavic last year...
They have had 5 windows to sort this mess out. 5 chances to sort out the playing staff. And they have failed every single time..
That is their track record. They are good at failing the club from an investment in playing staff perspective.
They have failed on the Stadium debate. Meanwhile the city of Liverpool suffers.
I don't see ANY thing which suggests a turn around in FSG's fortunes... Oh but dont worry... We'll sort it out in the summer... Always bloody next year!
What exactly do people see in FSG as owners that suggests they are fit for purpose? Cause all I can see is alot of blind faith considering the facts.
The sooner they go. The better... They might not be out to swindle us.. But they most certainly are not fit for purpose and will not take us forward in this current climate.
They have lied and failed at almost every opportunity.
