If you call having a sustainable model is marginal, then you don't know what you are talking about. What exactly do you want? Who do you want as our owners? I would be surprised if you had an answer.

I like good financial management including good income generating activity, and that's something FSG do quite well. However profit seeking owners such as FSG come and go, and what's important is what they leave behind, as they exit and take their profits with them. My criteria for good ownership is what they've won and the quality of the infrastructure they leave behind! As it's unlikely they'll leave five or six hundred million Stg. in the locker room in lieu of the Stadium they should have built.

Yeah, would be great to have a brand new stadium while we are stuck mid table if not worse. Arsenal left Highbury as champions, how many times did they win it since them? Do you know how much the Spurs new stadium will go over budget with such a delay? How much have Spurs spent on players since they started their new shiny stadium?

Our stadium isn’t and won’t hold us back. We can extend further. The cost of a new stadium isn’t worth it and doesn’t make sense when you think how long it’s take to build and pay off.

The Kirkby rebuild is the biggest infrastructural improvement we've had since Shanks arrived and built the boot room and re-did Mellwood. They have expanded Anfield. No credit for that?

No red, I'm afraid there's no credit accruing to them for a missed opportunity, investment cowardice and a legacy of an outdated tart up stadium that fails to match the best of our competition. They bottled it.

Moores who our red friend claimed had Liverpool fans dancing in the street when he left (I don't recall that) let's remember Moores built three stands yet he is a villain Henry the hero for building one

The competition is on the field and probably seating capacity to increase revenues, competition is not on the design of the stadium or how shiny it is.

How would you feel if they’d ploughed all their and the clubs money into a new stadium and the we couldn’t afford the likes of Salah let alone VVD or Allison?

You seem to forget, quite conveniently, that they’re not like City’s owners. They don’t have endless cash and had they done a new stadium we’d be in the same position as Spurs in not being able to invest in the squad and hence not be so competitive.

I think my position is we needed owners with the resources once Moores left. Instread we are having to juggle on field vs the long term future of the club
