KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum "Liverpool Will Never Win The Premier League...."

Because I am 55 and have been going to anfield to watch Liverpool more or less every year since about 7. It's a way of life marko and is for many we work with fellow fans and mix in the pubs etc and football is always a topic of conversation.

Even now I still enjoy going to anfield.

Which is why it hurts so much to see the way the club is now. Most people on this forum have worked out FSG,s game maximum profit for minimum outlay and that involves keeping Liverpool right where they are unless we progress on a low outlay.

As others have haw said they are businessmen and that is a sound business strategy we all support John Henry's wealth plan.

They have stole the club and the dream

So you admit that it is possible to progress on a low outlay? Just because FSG are not bankrolling the club, does not mean we cannot progress.

No under FFP rules all they have to do is put in any overspend as equity into the club and they can well afford that. If anyone is stuffed it's us as we're skint apparently!

What a crock....actually many on here have openly stated that they dont see any evidence of FSG taking any cash out the club and that they do believe we can progress under them.

You are agan trying to twist what people are saying to suit your agenda. Just like a journo.

The fact that you have been supproting the club for so long means nothing if the only reason you supproted them is because it suited you. From your arguments, thats what I gather... I havent been supporting LFC as long as you as I am younger, but I have been supporting for over 20 years and I still believe and have hope.

Especially now that we have grown a backbone and refuse to be taken for a ride every transfer window. Everyone complained when we were overpaying for average players, especially under Kenny, but now that we have finally taken a stance, people are still not happy. It seems some will never be happy.

I cant wait for us to succeed under FSG and see how you react then. Will you admit you were mistaken? Believe me, the day will come, soon, when we show real progress and become a real threat once again.

But the amount of equity that is allowed to be injected is limited to around 30 million over 2 years (except for stadium improvement, youth academies etc) as the whole point of FFP was to stop owners injecting money for transfer fees and wages.

When I read that Chelsea is going to spend 100m on players in the next transfer window, I ask myself how they are going to adhere to FFP, anybody understands?

I think far too many of us are trying to put Fsg in a pigeon hole with one strategy.If they are to be truly succesful then a solid strategy is required as a base. This where we buy young and develop is a great idea. The key however is to be flexible enough to grab opportunities when they arise.
RVP going to UTd showed a dramatically different approach to what they had been doing(buying potential) - it won them the league. Does this mean UTD will buy a 29yr old again this year? probably not but it does show that they can move swiftly if great players come available. They did the same in 98 when they bought sheringham at 32yrs old. where most otrher clubs fall down is the lacking the pragmatism required to win trophies

Hopefuly FSG CCAN ALSO BE FLEXIBLE WHEN REQUIRED.This summer is critical if we are to leap up the table.

Thats where the loophole is, that sort of stuff is bread and butter to the accountants, they'll drive a coach and four through it.
