The future in the balance part is more about world football in general. the top end of the game, especially in England, has become who has more money than everybody else.
That doesn't meet my definition of sport, but that is where we are. A lot of traditional big powers in Europe are really struggling to keep up (Barca, Juve) and might even be ruined by it.
Some of these clubs have probably had to submit, and basically choose to compete for smaller prizes.
Liverpool under FSG and Klopp have done a better job of walking the tightrope and being highly competitive than anybody, but that window may be closing.as the spending continues to escalate.
But some fans do not see past the next match or transfer and cannot be bothered with notions of financial sustainability. That is where this discussion comes from. The game itself has changed so the comparisons of one owner to the nexxt get distorted. FSG have kept the club in far better straits than the Juventus and Barcas, but many supporters ultimately don't really care about (or understand) that.
It's remarkable what has been achieved over the past few years, really. But maintaining this level of competitiveness will be the biggest challenge. time will tell whether we can if course.
If instead, a superman (or state) owner takes over, we'll just be contributing to the marginalisation of 99 percent of the world's clubs and an even worse version of the super league will be nigh.
