No offence taken but would rather people debate the content of my posts rather than this general you are only saying it because your negative. My main points about Fsg were lack of investment in the playing side the lack of news on the stadium the priority to cut costs and this current debacle with the Suarez situation. Debate them points tell me why im wrong there.
Lack of investmentI'm not too sure about that. Maybe it's the lack of top quality that you're alluding to. There definitely hasn't been a lack of investment. Our record signing, a 20m striker partner and a rebuilt midfield certainly suggests some money was spent. Our
net transfer spend has been low but that can only be expected after the culling of the dead wood. We lost many players in the off season and that built up some funds. Not to mention Torres' departure.
StadiumAll too easy to lay blame on FSG. No stadium will be approved within the past year they have been here. From reading up on the topic, the lack of building space within the Merseyside area makes this a very difficult thing to approach. Council approval, costs, finding the funding, sponsorship and design must be considered. Definitely not a one year project.
Cutting costsNot really sure what you mean here. This point seems to be plucked out of thing air to hold against the owners if i'm being honest. I have not seen many cost cutting exercises taken by the owners. Cost cutting suggests a downgrade in facilities, increased player sales of players who are of good quality for a good return on investment, or a removal of employee positions. Could you point out which of these you are specifically referring to?
SuarezThis whole thing was sparked from a sham of an investigation. Suarez didn't help himself and hindsight suggests things could of been handled better but as a heirarchy, something had to be done and the asking of an apology seems to be as light of a punishment as they could of issued. No fine or suspension suggests they want to maintain a positive image on the club - as they should - but not be rash in handing down a punishment on Luis.
The lack of appeal was interesting but after an official investigation, the same body would be in charge of the review and after making a finding, it is extremely rare on them to backflip. Especially as their motive was to hand down a strict punishment with clarification on guilt or not, accepting the punishment and ensuring this episode is put to rest quicker was the ideal solution i would assume was FSG's motive. Take note, this would of definitely been discussed with the manager and any ruling would of had Kenny's backing whether he saw it one way or another.
