they are some big figures there

You are implying FSG have given the manager that money to spend on players. Not so most was generated by two things

1-player sales Torres and sureaz plus other players cashing in on our best players and buying cheap replacements

2- the huge amount of money coming into football from external sources I think you will find amost all premiership clubs have spent record amounts on players.

FSG have invested almost nothing in real terms

I know what you are getting at with regards to net spend, but that does not matter - As the funds quoted are still there to be spent on new players. How they are spent is where the total failure is.

I agree the how it's spent is important and that has simply been a catastrophe even worse than kenny and comoli which I did not think was possible. However your post implied FSG had provided those funds for players which is not really reality. Although if course they could have banked the lot and played 16 year olds from the academy but that would have lost them an equal amount on the clubs net worth as we would be in league one. So they have done the bare minimum investment wise and that and the hopeless deployment of the available funds have resulted in the mess we see today. Sacking rodgers will solve nothing of significance albeit a new manager might be better at spotting talent

If they've done the bare minimum with investment, why are we in breach of FFP?

Very good question

I understand they made exceptional losses above the permitted £35m. But in the grand scheme of things these are small beer if getting turnover is the key then building a new stadium and marketing the club as a top player is the way. Wheras the devewlopment of the mainb stand will bring extra revenue in broad terms its peanuts and over the long term will see us falling behind ever further. The only way I can see is Markos masterplan of Liverpool winning the league almost every year such that billions of fans want to watch liverpool and spend money. That plan this season has not got off to the best of starts and I would think we need a manager a cross between Bob Paisley / Bill Shankly / Brian Clough / Alex Ferguson but even if we could find such a person would he work under FSG,s meddlng ? or would he go to a bigger club. You can faff about with FFP rules re techicalities the big picture is we are a medium sized unambitious club and the sooner we get used to it the better for all of us.

Many thanks for taking the time to not answer my question. Then again, I didn't really need any response as I knew the answer myself.

yep they may have not given much but compared to Evans and rafa and hell even Roy that is a kings ransom.

I havent got time to sit here answering your questions I have very pressing matters to attend to
