I don't know Jon, sanctioning 120m+ in the summer to me indicates faith in the manager and his vision to build a successful squad. Pocketing the 120m would talk to LFC being a cash cow for FSG.
Assuming here that FSG had no input into which players Brendan or the committe brought in the summer as long as the list of players stayed within the allocated budget of 120m. Would we have been better off with 4 quality world class, first team ready players on a high wages (100-150k) as opposed to 9 with potential and slightly proven (50-90k) is a question for Brendan and the committe.
The whole who signed who and who's decision is painful mate, we don't know.. Whoever it was though got it wrong.
I didn't say they are terrible owners, I've said historically they could have been the right owners during 05-09 period.
All I'm saying is that every decision they make will be scrutinised from a financial view.. Even the outlay in the summer would have been. Don't forget the most part of that was money brought into the club..
They brought the club at a basement price, it was a no gamble for an investment group, as long as they are sensible they can make money on their investment.. They are sensible and clever business men, they will only make sound financial business decisions.. We spent what 36(?) million net in the summer, that's money we generate.
Every contract extension they offer will be a calculated gamble with a high chance of success financially for the club, every player they bring in the same.
All I was saying is that I genuinely don't believe they are here 'to win' winning wasn't the catalyst for them buying us, spotting a bargain and a sound investment was, and everything they do will ultimately fall back to those principles
