Fans have been moaning for many years that we never capitalise on our name or maximise profits in order to help the club. And now that we have owners who are trying to raise extra money for the club, they still aren't happy! Maximise long term profit not short term. They are maximizing long term profit. Trust me they won't lower prices next season or the one after that....They are investing in youth who's price will go up in the future. They are promoting the club worldwide from India to Iceland. How is that short term?

Yes but you are making the fundamental mistake of assuming that LFC's fanbase is diminishing just because that why you say is happening in Liverpool, whilst maybe 5-10% of the fanbase actually lives in England, let alone Liverpool. You are coming out with statements, placing them as facts but they are not. LFC's fanbase is not diminishing but rather expanding in the east, the states and Africa.
As I have said before, as there is a waiting list now, there will be a waiting list for the next 10 years, you'll see. The demand is there and will be there for a long long time, even if we are playing in league one with current ticket prices, the demand for LFC will be there and we are expanding our fanbase around the world which will expand demand even further.

5 percent of the fanbase lives in England really ? I can tell you for sure having been to anfield for 50 years probably eighty per cent are round the north west of England. It's fine a young lad in Nigeria with a counterfeit Liverpool shirt but as have explained to you a thousand times the club needs revenue. Of course much of that comes from sponsorship but that is based on the home product. Without the home product there is nothing to sponsor. Maybe one day the club will get club pay per view and perhaps that is what they are counting on but I don't believe that will work either. In 30 years time people in India will not be interested in english sport they will have their own. The club is destroying itself and mark my words anfield will not be selling out within 2 years.

I have said this all along that FSG do not have the finances to look after LFC properly, begging bowls , buckets, what ever they are trying to squeeze the money out of us with. They are falling well short. They bought us on the cheap and invested some money which only balances us out to what we where originally worth. So the cheapskates are finding it hard now , I expect they will sell up in the 6-12 months.Little men who thought they where big boys. FFS how negative. Lets wait for this summer, yes this season is a f,,,g write off but hey?

Perhaps 80% of match going fans but not of the fanbase Stan. I know several people from the states, South Africa, Italy ho spend 600-700 euros a year on LFC merchandise online via the official website. Surely you see that expanding that market and fanbase will greatly increase revenue.

I don't know Stan but in my opinion the club have surely analyzed the data and are confident they have found an optimum balance between the 2 at the moment or are working towards it.

I am sure you are right but they have got their analysis wrong. I think dunk said they desperately need a UK based autonomous managing director with real powers. He s so right current policy is being driven remotely from the USA where they may know baseball but they know stuff all about the premier league and Liverpool FC. They also know next to nothing about the demographics of their customers which proved from the discussions with Ian Ayre and SOS,

I am absolutely 100% positive they have a local based firm doing their research for them.
