This isn't an FSG-out thread, suprise suprise !, it's a look at our fanbase, considering the witch hunt which was instigated recently between FSGOUT vs FSG apologists , it's time to gain some clarity and draw a line in the sand. in particular I've had some looks into other forums of so'ton just to gain perspective and see their view point, and I've come to a conclusion that we as LFC fans have serious double standard issues,
We can all understand that we won't be selling Coutinho to Barcelona, we understand "if" it were to happen the fee would have to be very high , yet when the tables are turned and we are going for players like Kieta and VvD we are resolute that their clubs are being unreasonable with their stance, and are reluctant to accept to pay the asking price upfront .
in sure if Barcelona offered 40m plus add-ons we'd laugh it off as a disgrace, too many people here have double standards where they accept our players to be sold top dollar with respectable offers ( no idiotic installments) yet are up in arms to pay an extra 15m for top targets , this is humanely and morally unfair, this is where the root cause of frustration with LFC is for Southampton in General , and the danger is this reputation will only get worse. And make no mistake it will further trickle into the chances of making signings for the future ,
Look at how the reputation Arsenal has created by tame champions league exits and lack of grit to take the next step ,
We will be seen have the haggling cheapos, no club will want our business and actually bump the price up especially to compensate for LFC's haggling .
So to all those fans who want to analyse and critique every negotiation in isolation without considering it's long term effect, congratulations , now watch your precious club crumble into failure: goodbye top4 forever under Klopp
Next season ladder without VvD
