The big question is though what will another season of no trophies mean this year which is extremely possible looking at the likely investment from Chelsea, City and Utd.
Someone will be held accountable whether its FSG or Klopp unless he can perform another miracle on a fraction of the other clubs budgets.
I just hope when the fans do the inevitable and blame someone for our lack of success they look at the budget of the team that we lose out to understand the problem and blame the right people.
And as absentee owners I hope the same fans that are so quick to attribute our success to FSG are as quick to attribute our decline to them also. Only then will the fanbase be united when it comes to FSG.
Well happy Sunday Mr Doom and f***in Gloom, sounds like you are writing us off already, what because Mutants, Chavs & City have more dollar than we have, get real fella they always will have, but get this, we donāt need to spend as big as those clubs to achieve our success,
Havenāt we proven that already? In case you have forgotten City got a easier ride last season because we werenāt close enough to pressure them, no one was for that matter, itās true that Chavs have taken massive strides under Tuchel and weād be foolish if we didnāt consider them as serious contenders, City are City and of course will be up there too irrespective of who they sign, Mutants might be better too but are still behind us in my opinion,
If you donāt believe we will be in amongst it then more fool you, weāll have Virgil back, weāll have Joe back too, we have our new CB in Konate, who I believe will be a perfect fit next to Virgil, Joe & Joel will be third & fourth IMO but by no means any less,
We will have our fantastic skipper back where he belongs, in the engine room with one of the best DMās on the planet in Fabinho, Thiago adds class, creativity, guile and his buffet balls will have Messers, Salah,Mane, Firmino & Jota drooling,
Wee Harvey Elliot brings with him excitement, pace, and a fearless will to win, Curtis Jones will come into his own and we will see him thrive, we all await a new face to wear Giniās boots, hopefully Tielimens, more likely Neuhaus, but either will grace our squad,
Make absolutely no mistake, we will be right up there, Pep knows it, Tuchel will know it, forget the rest, this is a three horse race, golly Ole will flatter once again, Brendan the same, Nuno has too much on his plate to be even considered, and Rafa will adopt a small club mentality for obvious reasons,
We finished third last season in a season blighted by injuries, we finished third with a makeshift back line using 19 different combinations, we finished third by having to use two thirds of our engine room as a makeshift defence for the most part and a couple of rookies latterly,
City can buy the likes of Kane & Grealish or whoever, but will they all fit in, will they all gel, will they all play as one, like a well oiled machine like what we are, do they have those who when asked run through brick walls, Iād argue not, Grealish spends more time eating grass than your average bovine, Kane has glass ankles and subject to lengthy spells conversing with physios,
Chavs are more of a worry for me, the confidence flowing after their CL exploits is a concern, but consistency could be their downfall, so who wins this race, City will obviously be favourites, Chavs a worry, but, even with my red specs off, I take us to win No20, hit the ground running and we will be hard to stop.
