FSG made some early mistakes - they appointed Kenny after he did a good job steadying the ship after Hodgson , gave him a lot of money and prob on the back of the fans feelings - in hindsight it was the wrong appointment.
When he was let go the backlash was brutal but it was the right choice to make even though we won a cup
I understand they wanted Klopp then but wasnāt available so went with a bright upcoming coach - he did well with prob our best shot at winning the league for 20 plus years , but it was clear the transfers were just not good enough and then arrived Klopp but not just Klopp also Edwards and whilst some only want to give credit to Klopp , Edwards is a massive part in it all
At the same time the owners were working very hard to improve things off the field including the all important stadium build which they should get a lot of credit for
I find it ludicrous that some fail to see the good work done by the owners but then I guess some become so entrenched in their view they prob see it as weakness to back track
To be fair there is a lot of filling in the gaps and using hindsite there
I don't believe for one second they had a long term on the pitch plan
For as you say as much as they wanted Klopp after Kenny, I'm not sure like... but if he was their man they went a strange way around it by not simply making a beeline for him post Rodgers
They interviewed him along with 3 others at least
I still think it was a happy accident that they ended up with JĆ¼rgen and he has made their model work
Now that's not a full criticism of them or their model but it hadnt worked so far really up until that point, yes some of the men above JĆ¼rgen do unbelievable jobs but I genuinely think without JĆ¼rgen then I'm not sure it works so well - on the field
For me FSG have done some fantastic work off the field, but that's their speciality really, streamlining and making businesses efficient
But on the field its needed the perfect man to sew it together, who I think it's a stretch to say they knew he was the man to do that all along
