If we do get into the top 4 and that's a big if... I think Suarez sturridge and all the players that have signed long term contracts will have something to do with it. We still spend more money than arsenal have over the past 3-4 years and where has that got us. It's not all about investment. It's about what you do with the tools that you have.

i dont think FSG are greedy, I think they are very practical business men. Probably too practical.
The cost of a new stadium is 350mil+ and then you are left with an old stadium which has no commercial value(unlike highbury flats). Therefore an expansion of Anfield was only ever the real workable solution. The money generated by 15000 extra seats has to pay back at some point and that means 50% of those new seats has to cooporate and bring in £100+ a ticket.
FSG are no fools and wont waste 200mil because fans want them too. Anfield is a rough area and we have to recognise tha no fancy new stadium will bring in other incomes outside of matchday. Football prices are in slow decline and any future return cannot be guaranteed. The UK has a declining indigenous population which means fewer football fans are being created. There are no youngsters at the match anymore and in twenty years we will see alot of clubs going to the wall.

I take your points I see match going football fans as an ever declining resource it may be in the future even 40 k is enough. Very sad

I think the fans will pay as long as the football is good. I don't care what anyone says if we finish top 4 this season FSG Brendan and the players will deserve massive credit. Even if we just Mus out on the top 4 I would be impressed with the progress made.

If we get 4th its down to BR and the players.

FSG deserve NO credit for leaving our manager with 16 currently 15 outfield players.
