KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum FSG - Who's still on the fence?

Said it before Jay but venting after feeling pi*sed about last nights injury wreck Their ethos may work but they are the owners of the wrong club.

Go and play 10 year Moneyball at Leeds or somewhere with a solid fan base and potential in the second tier, but not at LFC.

I am in the same boat. Whilst I am not after rich owners, I am after owners with the right intentions and football brains.

Owners that understand that our bread an butter is winning trophies and not ROI.

I am now sick of this lot myself, if we end this window with no further squad improvement I am done with them.

Being in Australia I would love to get involved in something that would send a message to these turd burglars that it is not on, and that they are not going in the right direction.

They've got until this window shuts, if we don't buy any players ready to go straight into the first team then I'm done with them. They've had more than enough time now, and have made so many mistakes.

Look at the big picture the club needed not tinkering with when moores sold but massive and fundamental investment. Both owners since have been unsuitable FSG are no better tan Gillett and hicks just smarter with the PR.

And please don't spout that saved us from administration nonsense which is factually not true.

Even if Liverpool finish in ha champions.league or even win the title they are the wrong owners this club needs an out of town 70k all seater with options to go to 90k that will involve a lot of investment. These are not the people to provide it.

As for the team never known it so threadbare and short of talent even in sourness days was not this bad .

I'm with some on here in that if we don't get a couple of first team players in then I'm done with them. They have to see that we need them whatever the cost. I know it's not easy or straight forward but footballing people would have this sorted by now.

You'll have to forgive my ignorance here lads but what's ROI?

As regards to FSG... I'm with Wilki on this one. I have been a supporter of FSG so far and genuinely expected this to be a good transfer window for us but I've been thoroughly disappointed so far.

The thing that annoys me, is that it's Brendan Rodgers who'll eventually take the flack from the fans, but based on the lack of investment I don't think we should expected much more than last season. Finishing higher than last season (even just by one position), for me would be enough of an improvement given the poor investment.

Return on investment

Nice one Stan.

Come on guys all valid points but lets not put our heads in the sand. Deloitte put us at high risk due to our wage bill being over 75% of turnover, decades of inept management cannot be turned round in a couple of years. We got caught in the trap of spending what we do not have, even under moores this was the case.

In regards stadium - how can't he club finance a 450mil spend? Since steel prices rocketed all hopes ifs new stadium evaporated. Unless we double season ticket prices then no stadium will be built. Anfield is not worth a carrot so unlike Arsenal we cannot subsidise a new stadium by selling Anfield.

FFP has not only shaped the way the club is run but also put a stop to any sort of sugar daddy coming in to buy us. So in short FSG are probably the best owners for now.

My comments may seem like I am very much for them but in truth I am reluctant to jump in bed with someone new so quick again. FSG are ok but ROI for them could be 5+ years from now. In fairness thy did say there will be no quick fix.

Cp1972 I understand financial fair play does not apply to the stadium only the team.

Also the rules of financiial fair play are pretty fluid and it may drag us down further as if other clubs keep getting new and bigger stadia our turnover will fall.

As for the price of steel it's what it is its not likely to go down and the world does not stop there is likely to be massive construction Britain housing hs2 etc the price of steel will not hinder that why should it for FSG.

FSG either don't have or won't spend any money on the stadium or anything else unless that or them change the club won't move forward
