Football is not a serious sport to the Americans; Soccer as they like to call it does not even allow time for American TV networks to get their Ads in they would like to see the game played over four quarters...Soccer is like the fifth sports in the States and does not even rank up there with the likes of Basket Ball, American Football, Baseball or Ice Hockey... So how do you expect them to not treat our clubs as cash cows??...
For those who do not know I live in North London, Between White Hart Lane and the Emirates... Arsenal’s stadium has a Capacity: 60,432 and a year after completion they were saying that they should have made it a 65,000 + Stadium. And FSG is looking to eventually raise Anfield's capacity to 58,000+??...Old Trafford has a current capacity of 75,600 + City 60,000 +...
We are already at a disadvantage fund wise due to having smaller revenue from less seats in the transfer market, and that is before FSG can find ways to suck the cash out of the club...
Yes they may well have saved us from financial ruining. But that was not done because they love LFC, and football, it was done because they knew that they could make a large profit on their investment...
I know that lot of you out there that think by building a new Stadium you would lose the atmosphere that Anfield has, but the atmosphere in any stadium is made by the supporters... FSG has done things on the cheap for too long from players with "Resalable Value" to "Stadium Renovation"...
I believe that LFC deserve owners who love football for football sake, and will invest money to improve the club, long term and look to make their money back, long term and not quickly strip mining the clubs assets
