Anyone think they appointed Klopp because he's a really really good manager?
Don't get the FSG hate at all. Best owners of the club in my lifetime by a country mile.
New stand, boss manager, millions spent, millions coming in (which is important too), clear vision for the club, listened to the fans about ticket prices.
I would hedge a bet that most people complaining also hate their boss at work. Seems to be a real authority problem on here for some.
I like the owners. Come at me.
People don't like to see the club being run as a proper business for once. For some, it's disrespectful to the origins. And if we want to be a club that is run poorly and has no money, isn't profitable, and isn't run properly than that's fine. But as far as I'm concerned, them trying to bring up the overall value of the club will lead to great things.
It's a growth process. We shouldn't forget that we went from debt-ridden, unprofitable, and a third of the value in less than 6 years. We've now got a renovated stadium, an improved squad, a fantastic manager, a much better international presence and awareness, a great administrative system, and we're one of the most profitable clubs in the world and one of the most valuable sports franchises once again.
As we continue through the process, I'm sure that the rest will fall into place. For now, we've got trimmed profits and maybe not as many transfers as we'd like, but our world class manager has come out specifically and said that's on him, not them whatsoever. A world class manager who literally could go wherever he'd want would never say that if it wasn't the case. To me, there's much more pride, honor, and real sweetness when you win in doing things this way than injecting a billion dollars into the club out of thin air. And if we didn't do this or have these owners, things would have either been done that way or we still would've been in the sh*t situation we'd been in.
Say what you want about their tactics and their press releases and yes early on some of their work was cringeworthy, but it was part of a learning curve for them and also part of the club's overall rebuilding process.
I like the owners too, same as I like our manager and his staff, and a good amount of our squad right now.
