At the end of the day, the buck stops with the club owners, managers are temporary, so if a club receives a large bid for a play and the owner says sell, you'd expect the manager is consulted, there's not allot the manager can do apart form resign in protest and makes his feelings known.

The money involved now is so large, you cannot let a manager have the sole control over a player if he is a £150+ million asset, as it could make the difference on the survival/future of a club.

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?

Coutinho is still at the club because Klopp didn't want to sell him, as simple as that. Otherwise, United owners do not put much more of their own money in the club than FSG, United is just the most profitable club, also simple


From what I read it was more FSG than Klopp. Klopp just wanted it sorted one way or the other and wasn't too happy with keeping a player that might not be 100% commited to the cause (whatever that is?).
