Is that what he's saying? I'm not sure it is.
All he keeps saying is that we can't compete when we clearly have.
I know he'll say that's all down to the manager whilst forgetting they hired said manager to fully complement how they operate.
As I've said before that's good practice in any walk of life. Hire the people to make the best of how you operate.
On last season we did buy a forward. It's not really realistic to expect us to sign another one in January just because that player for injured and two of the other three were going through a drought.
We could have left midfield alone last summer and bought a CB but the club and manager felt we could risk the players we had there and no could could forsee three of the first choice CB getting injured.
And the signing we've made already this summer at CB suggests it wasn't only just about money as to why we didn't buy there in January. We've always waited to get the right player under FSG and this seems to be the case again. We could have gambled on a CB and then not got the player we really wanted this summer.
When we win, it's all down to Klopp.
When we (only) get 3rd, it's all down to FSG.
These people have all heard Klopp talk about the owners, how he works in and wants a collegiate decision making process, but these people don't hear that, or just ignore it.
Frankly, it's all very childish, like the "we don't compete", despite the number of trophies over the last few seasons, the record points tallies.
We don't spend, but we broke the world record for a defender and a 'keeper.
We could have gone out and spaffed all the money in the kitty for a second rate CB just to appease the idiots, but instead, they worked the best option (and I include Klopp in that), and we got 3rd spot.
Now we have one of the most highly rated young CB's in Europe coming in, and the window isn't even open yet, which tells me that this deal has been on the cards for a long time.
This panic buy nonsense is a great example of why fans should never have any say in the running of a club, as far as transfers go.
It basically doesn't matter what happens, there will be more bullshit gainsaying by petulant tw*ts who refuse to look beyond what they want right now.
They simply do not understand long term thinking or strategies.
It's like saying to a toddler: "you can have one lolly now, or 5 tomorrow".
They just don't get it, or more likely, don't want to because it gives them something to whine about.
If we were so self sufficient, Moores wouldn't have sold up.
He either couldn't be arsed or was too dumb to grow the club.
Parry was just too lazy.
So now we have a team of experts bringing in sponsors from all over the world, doing brilliant deals, expanding the stadium and hiring the best people they can, so that we truly will be self sufficient on a scale we couldn't have imagined 20 years ago.
But it's not enough for the whinging, entitled wretches who want everything yesterday.
F**k 'em.
Bunch of gobshites.
