Since FSG took over we have spent £1.2bn on players
We have recouped £630
So around £600mil
£600m spread over 13 seasons , that’s what about £47m + shrapnel on average per season, now again I’m no number cruncher, but that figure of £47m + is paltry, no wonder we’re struggling, i dunno what other clubs net spend is, and I don’t really give a f**k, but for a club of our size it really is chicken feed, and clearly and very obviously no where near enough,
Now Lall you can cook, cajole or massage the books all you want but FSG bricks & mortar & commerce aside they’re not spending enough on the most important part of a football club……players…..ultimately it’s player’s that win you titles & tin, and simultaneously the revenue thru tv deals, longevity in competitions in particular the CL and the clicking of turnstiles on any given match day/night,
Credit where it’s due FSG have kept us in the Red but that credit only stretches so far, their business men after all and obviously very successful ones at that, but even business men take risks don’t they, they’ll take a chance on some mega trade off or multi million $ investment,
What don’t they see at Liverpool FC that taking a bit of a risk in the transfer market could further swell their profits, could bring further successes and the revenue stream with it, and most importantly perhaps happy fans & supporters who will also swell the coffers thru merch, what don’t they see that we can all see, and what should be a minimum effort each and every season,
We all know we can’t compete with the oily lot, no one is expecting them too, however they could and should be content with providing enough funds for Jürgen to work his magic every season, a club of our size shouldn’t have to hang on to players going past their use by dates, or rely on aged players like Jimmy to fill gaps for positions that should have ready made players in those positions,
This window is massive, not only for obvious reasons, but it will be a indication of what the plans are going forward, just how ambitious are FSG ? For me and most they haven’t done enough, but they will have to if we want to avoid the same thing happening in the future??
