KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum FSG say sorry and back down over tickets

This won't affect transfer business the whole increase was worth £2m peanuts to put in perspective that would pay for Daniel Sturridge to sit in the treatment room on his Xbox for 17 weeks. In fact the club will reap far more because there may have been a backlash re merchandise probably what they were really worried about

It's a good excuse to not give so much over for transfers though and we know FSG like a good story.

I think it's a good very short term victory so well done all those people who took part. I think we should all remain vigilante and not pat ourselves on the back too much though and ain't and see what happens next year regarding prices.
I still think there blueprint business plan is still reliant on the same one as the redsox and what happened when the redeveloped Fenway Park so people need to have a peek at what happened there.
Hopefully this price freeze will have a knock on effect and we start running the Club like a proper business which means not spending 20 million pounds on players and giving them 80k a week wages and staying within a club of our stature and League position should, maybe a wage structure, we must start cutting our cloth accordingly or we will end up like Leeds United...

Given the dross we overpaid for last few years maybe that's not a bad thing

Good point. We won't be spending as much anyway unless we sell Coutinho, not that anyone will pay as much as we all think he's worth.

Agreed. I could do with less spent if it meant 1 class player per year and nothing else.

Have to say very well done to FSG to for the climb down.

well they won't be getting there outlay back in on the pitch profit as we win nothing, this tier has to be paid for not to mention the up keep of players obcene wages, at the moment we still make money from merchandise but each year without success is shrinking the fanbase as our recent tour of the Far East showed. Going to be interesting to see how they claw it back...

FSG didn't have much option but to back down after it was reported everywhere that they were reviewing the ticket prices.

FSG will provide stability to our club but will never turn us into a top top team I don't think.

We need a quality manager who will stay for at least 5 years (hopefully Klopp), a much shrewder transfer committee, and also a relaxing of FSG's parameters on transfers.

Hear hear Stan.
