KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum interesting FSG story

I think the posts on here are an embaressment. Do you guys think at all? You complain that try don't know what they are doing an need to learn...but then when they show they want to learn you complain because they ask the best. O think it's great they are wanting to learn from the most successful English clu. In recent history.

marko please . we are asking man utd how to be successful?

is this how low we have sunk, that fans praise lfc owners for not having a clue and asking man utd how to run the club. good god almighty

If FSG are out of their depth then it is right for them to seek help and advice. But how genuine is the advice going to be from our biggest rivals who have spent the last 25 years focussed on "knocking us off our perch".

The advice will be genuine becAuse I doubt the glazers have a personal agenda against LFC like Fergie does. Also they approached Ivan Gazidis from Arsenal too. They are just gathering knowledge and comparing approaches. I think it shows they are interested in the long term and that they want what is best for LFC. They would not be doing this if they didn't want to be here long term, as I have said all along.

Those of you who think it's a huge embarrassment asking for advice, remember, we are not asking united or arsenal for help, but rather the glazers and GAzidis to compare their business models to ours. The fact that papers come with a headline that might as well read "Liverpool beg united for help" means nothing. It's rubbish...sensationalism.

Regardless of which individuals they are requesting advice from, I still wouldn't trust the advice from our biggest rival. It was Man Utd 'the club' that wanted our crown more than Ferguson personally. Besides, if we take advice from the Glazers we can look forward to an enormous amount of debt being loaded on to the club.

The fact that we are approaching rival clubs for helps makes us look a bit pathetic in my opinion. Would Ali have asked Foreman for tips on how to defeat him? Do Ferrari ask Red Bull for engineering advice? Would Al-Qaeda request tactical advice from the British armed forces?

Well Bin Laden was a trained CIA operative so you tell me. Either way, the papers say we Are asking for advice, to me it sounds more like comparing business models and whilst you may think it makes us look weak, i think it will make us stronger. And if we are weak at the moment the first step to becoming strong again is admitting your weakness.

Comparing business models haha as if we can compare to Utd both on and off the pitch at the moment, Marko your blind faith in FSG is amusing, there asking our biggest rivals for advice no matter what way you put it its laughable. Their in charge of the club for 2 years now and only now do they look for advice on how to run it lol couldn't write this stuff

Right...you really believe they went to united And asked "hey how do you run a football club?" ...come on. Firstly I am very scepticle as it's only the mirror reporting it, secondly they were probably discussing how to go about getting more money from the tv deals for the clubs. Even if they did ask united to do some consulting work, you do understand that LFC and MU are not 2 little boys fighting in a park in a knob swinging contest. These are 2 multimillion pound companies.

We have bigger knobs than Utd fans dont say that. Maybe your right, and as you say only the mirror reporting it so cant be sure whether its true or not

It all amounts to the same thing though - whilst FSG and the glazers certainly won't be sat around with BR & AF discussing tactics, the ultimate aim of each club is to come out on top whenever possible. If LFC improve their business model and buys better players making us more of a threat to Utd, why would the Glazers offer them any genuine/useful advice?
