Yes, it feels like we're a company on the stock market, and we need to show the right result and balance sheet every quarter.
Long term success doesn't come into the equation, because we won't sanction a move that will show an outlay now and an income in the next quarter.
We have previously only invested big after first selling a player.

We have previously only invested big after first selling a player. The balance sheet actually improves by buying players unless you are taking loans, so must say I am still struggling to understand if anybody says we do not have money after record revenues in the financial year ending May 2019. Is it the wage structure we want to keep low, then maybe the objective is to increase bottom line. Well, if we don't do as well as last season, revenues will go down.

The balance sheet doesn't change at all if you buy without loan, Does it? One asset (bank account) lower and another (player asset) equally bigger? If you loan to buy the balance sheet is blown up on both sides with the value just aquired.

Like spanking yourself. Well, maybe if he demands to spend, he will have to guarantee winning the league over a couple of seasons like managers at Barca, Madrid, United ,City, Chelsea else they lose their job. FSG also wouldn't like to be pressured to spend I feel.

Like spanking yourself. Why is it strange? He knows the squad inside out. He knows what it needs and what he wants. All this conspiracy stuff about it being the owners is ball hang. Money will be there. Maybe not as it has in the last window but if Klopp wants someone I feel he’d be able to buy that player. And don’t pretend you’ve not spanked yourself.

Yes maybe both parties feel it's better to be the dark horse and pop up here and there and grab what's available when it comes to both buying players and winning silverware.
Good for the business side of it and good for the manager as it brings less pressure to win.

Less pressure from who to win? Are you suggesting Klopp isn’t spending so he can’t get the sack?
Klopp will still put pressure on himself as will the players. They’re professional sports men and if they didn’t push themselves to win then they wouldn’t be.

Yes if it is his decision, but FSG probably also love it that way. Can't see any other explanation if he can't see the gap between Origi and Mane and can't see anybody available to fit in that gap
