I find it difficult to accept that Klopp was always a target for the owners in as much as their knowledge of the finer points of football management was shown to be lacking with previous disastrous appointments.
I always find it amusing how the old guard of LFC fans cling to an imaginative narrative that Liverpool has always remained the center of the Futball universe while selectively ignoring:
-the team resides in a 2nd class city
-the team was/is not funded by Arab/Russian hobbiest billionaires
-the team neared financial crisis
-elite players desire cosmopolitan based teams (London, Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Madrid)
-elite players want CL certainty
-elite S. American players want to play in Spain
etc etc etc.
Pretending FSG was going to take over and instantly attract the best on the field and in the coach's box is simply delusional....but have at it if that's what tickles your box
Regarding the incessant blather that FSG relies on sales in order buy ignores the truth that:
-elite players hold power over teams
-contracts don't necessarily bind player to team
-LFC's recent major sales all demanded out
-LFC fought off departure requests until players chose disruptive tactics
-the biggest teams in the world all finance purchases with sales
-player valuations often exceed performance
Besides this.....yeah .....LFC's sales have bought players that carried them to the CL final last year, CL play this year, and a 3-0 start now.
"FSG is just the worst"
Slog away.....or admit FSG has turned the tide
