KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Dismantling of Liverpool FC

Looking at this transfer window and past transfer windows it is clear to see that now our squad is being dismantled by FSG.

For what purpose I do not understand.

Consistently, each window high earners are taken off the wage bill and replace by lower wage earners/younger players.

If we sign anyone, it is more likely to be on loan, if they are already a proven player ie Sahin, Cissohko or the rumoured Moses/Mata.

Otherwise we sign unproven players on low fee's and salaries in the hope we will strike lucky as we did with Coutinho and Sturridge.

I'm resigned to Suarez leaving on the last day of the window, and the Carroll/Torres situation explained as to why we have not signed a replacement.

And looking at the the situation I can only come to 2 conclusions.

1) This is a fire sale by FSG, reduce running costs to make us look profitable and recoup some of the money they paid for us to begin with ie that 50million extra from TV rights is nowhere to be seen.

2) FSG are truly clueless and do not realize what type of investment they need to run a premier league football team.

Either situation requires the termination of our relationship with FSG, which unless it is a fire sale, I do not see happening for another 2 to 3 seasons.

This window if Suarez goes for 50million and with the 50million extra TV money on top of the 20million TV money, FSG will have the chance to recoup 120million from this window alone.

Next summer with the sale of Coutinho for 40million and Sturridge for 25million they stand the chance of making 120million again, before selling us on for 450million ish.

Makes you wonder what the end game will be.
2 good victoriesin the Prem have not yet clouded my eyes on our peril

All FSG,s actions indicate a holding strategy keeping costs to a minimum until the right point for a sale I honestly don't think they are aiming for champions league as the investment / risk ratio too high. If we achieve it on the cheap great.

But as a fan the sooner we get rid of FSG the better yes we could get someone worse but that's no argument to persist with them.

Welsh_Wizard and Stanley Park are clueless.

Maybe you would be so gracious as to explain why you think that.

They were kind enough to state their viewpoints (very clearly) so perhaps you could tell us why you think they are clueless.

Talking balls from the get go I see.



Sure, that proven player Sahin who did wonders for us. Seems like an awsome bit of thinking with hindsight, better loan someone so you know they fit in before buying.



Yup, unproven players like Mignolet who has been playing well in the premiership for the past 3 years, Kolo Toure who has been playing well in the premiership for the past 11 years.



What exactly do you base this on? The fact that everyone in the club has stated that he isn't going anywhere?



Sure, cause when someone runs a business properly it means they are planning to sell it off.




Why don't you enlighten the rest of us with your wisdom oh great and powerful wizard? I assume you want an Abramovic figure to plough billions into buying the hottest players on the market.



Can you give me some lottery numbers Mystic Meg?



Can you tell us who shot JFK as well?

Clearly you are not clueless. Nice to meet a man who knows his stuff. That being so can you explain FSG,s roadmap to get Liverpool,back to the top of football.

Say within a 5 year time horizon ?

jammysht, you are now my very own personal hero!

jammysht... hehehe... Brilliant.

My point of view they have done some wise business in getting rid of over paid players to bring our wage bill down to a more reasonable value for money. But I also agree i think they are looking to sell... For Rogers sake i hope they are, im so gutted with the transfer dealings this summer, we've identified positions we want to add to with some real quality (left wing, cb, id even say rw) we have known this all summer. Obviously papers add fuel to the fire with names being linked but i would like to think we are in for Papa, Sakho, (illori i dont know anything about)as these are highly rated players. As for willian I jumped on the you tube band wagon i didnt know much about him before just he was another overpaid Brazilian who i was excited to finally get a you tube sensation. I think we will bring in a lw and cb before window closes i just dont think they will be off any good quality... feeling depressed and mehhhhhhh bring on monday when we know where we are!!
