1) Liverpool - €442million
2) Valencia - €432million
3) Juventus - €415million
4) Benfica - €414million
5) Porto - €382million
6) Atletico Madrid - €377million
7) Tottenham - €369million
8) Roma - €367million
9) Real Madrid - €361million
10) Chelsea - €358million





6 of those teams are recent league winners. Money spent doesn't mean Much any more.

The decent thing, sell up and get out of Dodge...but we know leeches don't have morals they ONLY drop off their victims WHEN they've filled their gut!

Who's going to buy us? it's fine saying FSG out, but I would be very concerned about the Chinese buying us and their motives, there aren't that many sugar daddys like Chelski and Man City have, do we want to end up like them as a play thing (albeit City are much better run).

There was not a big list of people fighting over us when H&G were forced to sell up when we were a bargain price on the brink of administration, selling top players like Alonso/Mascherano and replacing them with poor has beens Poulson/Konchesky under a manager like Hodgson with no realistic plan for the stadium, we are in a much better position now.

Stupid to an FSG PR pimp!

They promised to have us on an equal footing with the likes of Chelsea, Man Utd and Man City after 5 years...they're a year behind and they knew for the last couple of years that FFP means jack sh*t! They'd rather spunk twice as much on their beloved Redsox and keep us as their ongoing $1 side bet.
They have failed the most fundamental important part of Liverpool FC to keep us competitive and winning.
In their time we have won 1 trophy...the least prestigious one at that and an awful 1 entrance ticket to dine with the cream at the CL table!
Our League position has remained stagnant:
2015/16 - 8th (21 points behind)
2014/15 - 6th (25 points behind)
2013/14 - 2nd (2 points behind)
2012/13 - 7th (28 points behind)
2011/12 - 8th (37 points behind)
2010/11 - 6th (22 points behind)

So I ask you again Mr Northamptonshire FSG ar*se licker, how successful have Liverpool FC been under FSG?

We've won one cup. I've not said they've made us successful. All I did was counter you original post to give balance. Its not my fault you don't have the intellegence to put up a coherent argument.

All you're doing now is digging yourself into one massive I'm a bell end hole. But keep digging son. Keep digging.

Why don't you put a bid, they might sell up and all will be perfect as you are probably an oligarch looking to throw away excess dosh

I'm not a huge FSG fan - they're doing ok considering they're here to make money and finally hired a world class manager.. but everytime I come here people are defending them. It seems more to reject the arguments of other posters they don't like.

Like I say, they've done ok, but is that figure right: +£43m in 6 years? Surely that's not going to be good enough? IF Klopp gets us top 4, we'll need more quality in depth and more net spend.

To be fair, it also shows a great job they've done in maximising what we get for players.

They've made us self sustainable and wiped our debt.

Everything we make from player sales and advertising can be spent on the team if needed.

They are doing everything they said they would.

They're not the billionaires of man city but they're not randy learner or Mike ashley.

Whilst they may not be the best we have had much worse they could pull out and sell up tommorrow leaving us as a profitable healthy club and for that I am thankful.
