There's a lot of naivety floating around regarding our owners.
I don't believe for one minute that Couthino is still at the club because FSG want to build a world class club. If they thought they could have got away with selling him without there being some kind of backlash, however it manifested itself, I 100% believe that they would have cashed in.
IMO Mane is our best player and was last season as well. It's only a matter of time before he's flogged on for an extreme profit and it will be done during some smoke screen from a PR grenade.
The stats speak for themselves.
Over 2 seasons
Maureen at Man £250 Million net spend - 3 trophies and a team worth getting behind.
Klopp - £34 Million net spend - won nothing and fans understanding why any player showing potential would want off.
The big picture is not hard to see folks #FSGOUT
I don't think they'd care about any backlash do you? What would happen that would hurt them?
I just think it's more about the timing of the offer and in part maybe they realised that if they keep selling our best players, especially when they don't have to, they could start losing money long term. If they were just looking to cash in and pocket the money as some would have us believe then they should've sold now as we won't get an offer close to that again?
