You refer to a particular time scale prior to which we held the most league titles won and currently hold the CL/European Cup UK record with trophies. unsurpassed by the mancs or whoever..
Have a at that bollox.
When was the last time we won the league? 1990 isn't it?
it's 2018, stop living in the past. Football has evolved and changed. We haven't won the league since that time because we didn't change our ways since the 80s under Moores hence why we lost league record to Man Utd. You're in denial if you believe our model was successful before the arrival of our new owners. Houllier and Rafa were great managers and won us a couple of trophies but they also failed to win the league because Moores couldn't back them up with a decent transfer kitty.
You don't understand the point.
The money was there from player sales. We've just sold coutinho for 140m.
FSG have always given our managers the money back to re-invest into the team from whatever we make from player sales.
The difference with klopp to Brendan or Kenny is, instead of using the money to buy several average players for smaller fees, he buys one or two for higher fees who are world class. That's because Jürgen can convince those players to play for us.
Brendan Rodgers couldn't do that. He tried to convince top players to play for us but they weren't interested. It was exactly the same model as what Jürgen is working under now.
Rodgers had all of the suarez fee which at the time was a lot of money, but no decent player wanted to play for him so instead we signed several poor players who were just dross in all honesty and should never have played for Liverpool.
If klopp was in that position he would have signed 1 or 2 players, a like for like for suarez, somebody of much better quality.
Look at one of my posts above. I asked another poster a question and I'll ask you the same. If klopp moved on and we appointed tony pulis, do you think we could still sign players as good as Keita, Virgil, Alisson if we sold salah for example and had money to burn? Do you think we would break transfer records with tony pulis in charge yes or no?
For me, it's a fat f**king no. Because nobody would want to play for that little tit unless you threw a sh*t load of money at them so they couldn't possibly refuse. Something FSG haven't done.
Without klopp, trust me, we're fu**ed.
Signing VVD and Keita had nothing to do with Coutinho sale because we bought both of them before we sold Coutinho, you also have no shred of evidence to prove otherwise. It's just assumptions from your part.
For argument's sake, let's say every penny were from player sales so why is it relevant? how is that a horrible thing? I remember the argument on here when Rodgers was buying sh*te players that it was FSG's fault and how cheapskates they were for not giving Rodgers money. They made Alisson and VVD the highest earners, how can you say FSG don't want to put a lot of money in players? They also offered Coutinho sh*t load of money (even Klopp admited that) but he refused. You're just assuming things.
No one is denying Klopp is the real deal, he's fantastic and he is attracting a lot of players to the club, but again he isn't the one with money, the owners are and they are the one supporting him with it. That's what every supporter want, the club owners supporting the manager in the transfer market.
