What it shows to me is that some have become spoilt and entitled and appear to have this belief that itās a requirement that someone must spend their own personal money buying a footballer.
It shows the changing mentality in the sport and how some canāt see past money
We have owners that took a club that was on its knees , in need of a massive shake up from top to bottom and inside out
Fast forward 12 years and we have prob have the best run club in the league , and whilst going against state clubs have won multiple trophies , we have had success and will continue to have success but some canāt see past their nose. We are doing things properly - building success through good financial management.
We arenāt going to spend as much as others clubs - thatās life , thatās how it was in 70ās and and 80ās when the club relied on good recruitment, coaching and management whilst continuing to work within the financial structure of the club - just like we do now.
Iāll take the way the club is run now over any of the owners in the league and itās embarrassing and disrespectful for someone to be calling them ālow lifeāsā all because they donāt spend money
Itās not being spoilt expecting a football owner to invest in the club they own. Guess what ? Probably all of league fckn 1 teams have had owners who invested more of their personal fortune than the owners of my beloved club
So you can take that entitlement bit and stuff it, itās not being entitled that an owner does his best to maintain the competitive aspect of the club
What youāre failing to understand is they do not see Liverpool fc as family, they do not see it as a club that is the soul of the city. What they see is a business opportunity to make money for themselves. Itās gotten so bad that getting potentially 7-8 times their investment is not good enough, they want more and are willing to let the club suffer competitive wise to get more money in their pockets
That is not the sign of a good owner
They are low lives, my example is clear, the covid scheme was designed to help businesses struggling, it takes a real low life to use tax payers money to pay wages of staff up to 80 percent or whatever it was
It takes a real low life to tell a caterer whilst we are getting over 100 million in revenue and have become billionaires due to the club, you have to accept 80 percent of your salary which whilst we can afford it, instead we will get the tax payer to pay for it
It also takes a real low life to try to sell the soul of the club in the super league
So yes, in football terms like the glazers, in my opinion they are low lifeās who have no integrity
Oh guess what, remember them trying to OWN the name of Liverpool ? Yes remember that part ? They are disgusting corporate pigs for trying to own the name of the city
A low life businessman who will do what it takes to make more money for themselves going forward
We are no way the best run club, the best run club does not have an owner who refuses to invest and tries to sell soul and reputation of the club for the dollar
They did a decent job in buying us out, then they did an amazing job in hiring klopp who then did the rest whilst the revenues grew due to tv revenue exploding
But thatās all they did whilst klopp did the rest but now itās catching up
The best run club also does not have owners who take loans out on the club and then using the club revenues to pay for it whilst the club becomes worse off
You are missing the point, nobody is asking for 100s of millions, what they are saying is asking for an owner who is willing to invest far less than that per year to help the club be competitive in winning titles as thatās our purpose to compete
What is properly in your opinion is not mine, nor is it normal. I would say we may be one of the only clubs doing what is being done in terms of how itās run.
The club is being treated as gold pot by the owners and thatās it. In fact we are paying back a loan given by fsg plus interest
Probably, so money is going out to them
The best run club is not near the bottom in the investment chart, end of story.
Thatās not in your words life, that should not be happening, itās not unrealistic to expect owners to put in 15-20m per season to help their club grow. Fsg refuse to do it as they will sell the club when they get a big enough offer as they want to use Liverpool to get cash rich eventually like the glazers did
I have no issue owners not investing providing the club remains competitive and keeps investing to what is required to maintain elite competitiveness. Itās clear that is not possible under fsg
