KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum FSG -Nou Camp - conspiracy theories

This is my last thread for a while, truth be told I'm spent thinking about transfers , I wanna switch off for two weeks and come back with a suprise of VvD doing the melwood lean, but the whole process is draining me so I'm going to be out of comission for a while.

FSG at Nou Camp- conspiracy theories

Many theories have been going around but I think theirs a reason why , that isn't to do with transfers of individual players . So no Coutinho , Suarez deals IMO

These are my theories

•FSG don't go to football games often so when they make an appearance it means something especially when it's not our club. So from that I'm refusing to believe they were there just for entertainment purposes

•[selling profit & youth development] Barcelona are known for their famed youth academy, making plenty money from their exports

• [weekly profit ]the Nou Camp capacity provides the revenue for wages along with marketing strategies to increase profit

•[Transfer strategies] Spanish clubs are reknown for bending the rules with signing players, as seen with multiple transfer bans to all 3 Spanish super clubs , and though they are big clubs, financially they are losing power to EPL and use "transfer tactics" that border on illegal to get their top targets and fend off other big clubs like bayern, PSG, juventus ..

• we saw in particular the signing of neymar , plenty competition with big clubs, this is top-of-the-food-chain transfer strategies , they apparently did some shifty business giving a pay day to neymar's family

• anyway I think FSG are on good terms with Barcelona, and they had discussed some strategies that may help FSG get the upper hand by using a different transfer approach involving pre-contracts and the media to their advantage to fend off rival bids

•also I believe with our new training facility being built , we are going to be using the youth system blueprint of Barcelona and Klopp is the man they want to lead this project , FSG's confidence in klopp is reflected in his extended contract and they had discussed with Barcelona youth development strategies.

•and the stadium too, I think FSG wanted some convincing to see the value in a mega stadium to gain revenue for mega wages, so it may have been something to convince them to go ahead with more Anfield upgrades after training facility is done

With this possibilities I'd say it makes complete sense FSG were so inclined to discuss business matters to learn , grow and evolve their strategy of moneyball into something more successful based on an actual successful footballing strategy of Barcelona . With Klopp in charge they have confidence they have perfect coach to lead this revolution

How is this connected to now?

I think the recent style of transfer activity with pre-contracts is from the transfer model of Barcelona but we unfortunately lacked class in executing it , but all in all Chelsea and man city have backed off so it kindve worked?

Also moneyball may be more based on the youth system where instead of buying youth and re-sell, we develop them which is even better, and a bonus maybe we can blood some scousers too!

We are seeing some awkward steps in the transfer market but it seems like their is a definite change in style they can hopefully learn from their mistakes and actually move the club forward.

If this is true it's very good news, as I'm leaning more towards FSG-out , I actually think this is promising and would welcome this and give them a second chance based on their desire to expand the club based of barcelona's model .

Maybe after the training facility is complete we will see further expansion of Anfield ,

Also a lot of this theory rides on how we handle the VvD deal, if we get it over the line I am convinced these owners are atleast learning from their mistakes , eager to Expand LFC and actually care , albeit their care is coming from a financial standpoint that is ok as long as it aligns with what the fans want on the pitch , similar to Barcelona fans have high expectations too, so let's wait and see but I'm convince FSG learnt some dirty tricks when they went to Nou Camp to gain an upper hand in this crazy inflated market that threatens all other European super clubs outside EPL

Well that's a conspiracy theory and a half LFCDU, and no evidence in support of it, other than suppositions. The bits of evidence we do have is that FSG have stuck doggedly to their business plan of maximum return on minimal risk, they've done well with it in terms of growing the asset value, so why would they see a need to change? Personally if I was to conjecture with conspiracy theories I'd venture to suggest they might be planning an exit if they can get something over and above a billion for their pains. Otherwise they'll just hang on in while playing it steady as she goes, the problem for us is the lack of winning that comes with that scenario.

Haha yes it's definitely a crazy theory !
I'd say you make a good case too, I reckon they see the post-Klopp era as a time to sell, because acquiring Klopp has vastly increased LFC's global brand. So they will probably sell after Klopp leaves or just before, but if Klopp does win the league and turn our fortunes around would they stay?
