Well don't buy the new shirt then! Not buying the shirt is a start...helping others understand this is not accepatble, is the hard part. Every movement has to start from somewhere. We are Liverpool FC one of the most widely supported clubs the world over and we currently operate like we are a small club. Our fanbase is dwindling because the younger generation would rather support a current successful club with very real ambitions of winning silverware each season. We are fast becoming an unimportant relic! With the right Owners with ambition we can eclipse Man Utd who are ONLY JUST the most successful English Football Club. English Premier League Football is the most viewed the world over, surely an ambitious Owner can see the potential to invest in a squad worthy of eclipsing Man Utd?

That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

Don't get this 'not buying football shirt' statement. It's not going to change anything if a few people boycott buying a liverpool shirt. Be fcking mature about it, either buy it or don't. We all know FSG need to invest more and show more commitment to the club, but little [oops] like this is not the solution.

Not counting the shieks and the Russian which owners would you rather have?
How does not buying the shirt help our cause?
What is a respectable amount that the owners should invest? And why would they spend all of their own money?

It would be good to have the sheiks or Russians but I agree, other owners might be worse if not the same. However, for some reasons, we have dropped from the 5th biggest spender to the 17th in the last season. We have also dropped from challenging for the title to challenging for a 4th place over a few months because we have too thin a squad to cope with the usual injuries most teams have. I am not happy with this and the only proper action I can take is not buying shirts. If I am a small minority, my concern will not be heard and rightly so, as it would mean very few people think like me. However, not doing anything if I am not happy is not n option for me. If others are happy with the situation, no problem at all. Not buying any shirts if followed by the majority will send the message that a majority of fans are protesting because we have dropped from 5th to 17th place in squad investment which is showing in the 2nd half of this season.

I'm not gonna use the Leicester argument as its a one off. However. I can only see that we have improved in the league. Regardless of how much we've spent. We didn't sell anyone last year that would have improved us this season. Benteke proved to be useless to us and sakho is a tool. We have made a profit, cut a bloated squad, got rid of a lot of high earners blooded some youngsters and moved into the top 4 slot that not many people predicted. I'd love to see us sign some marquee type player. A player who himself attracts other big name players here. But I also want to see Wilson, Trent AA, woodburn, Gomez given some chances too.

We spent the 6th highest amount last summer only being pipped by Spurs by about a million I think. The NET spend is a little irrelevant from last summer as there was sooooo much cr@p to get rid of (even the ones we should've kept  ).

But why didn't we sign a couple of players then, a LB and a CD would have helped us a lot, nobody can deny that.
