A question or two for the eds please:
It has been mentioned by yourselves with regards to the owners in their poor dealings with buying players and the poor way we deal with our youth set up with poor loan deals ect, have they ever looked at other models (Chelsea or Spurs for example)? and not tried to completely copy it but replicate some of the better practices. For example how they seem to get full returns on players sales . We are bloody hopeless at it.
Have we anyone overseeing our operating practices or scouts so were not wasting money?, seems we waste a fortune (Benteke) under Bodgers for example.
We used to be brilliant at bringing rough diamonds in and making them superstars.
I get a little frustrated that more of our under 21s are not being integrated into the first team, Tex, Rossiter, Ward and Ojo and maybe more would in my opinion do well with LFCs first team.
I regally read similar posts on here with the same concerns It would save the club a fortune meaning we have a better chance in keeping our better players and thus not wasting money on so many foreign players.
How much input would Klopp have on our set up?
I do have a slight nagging doubt as Klipperty wants to do well would bring in players no better than what we already have rather than develop our existing young players again wasting valuable funds or is more a case of doing both better? .

{Ed002's Note - (a) I have never said anything about "the owners" having made any poor deals with transfers or the like. I think you have significantly misunderstood something. Certainly the owners do not get involved with transfers nor the day-to-day running of the club. They do have one representative based in the UK running the business. (b) Liverpool has done well with some sales - Suarez and Sterling come to mind - hardly "hopeless". (c) Liverpool has a transfer committee overseeing transfers. (d) If you included the likes of "Tex" (whatever that is), Rossiter, Ward and Ojo in the first team squad only then they would only get game time on a very rare basis - Ward, for example, is learning a lot whilst on loan. If you wish to use players like that week-on-week then you have to accept the Liverpool will struggle at the highest level. (e) I don't know what you mean by "set up" but Klopp can pick and choose the team that plays each week form the players available; he is a member of the transfer committee so can influence that; he can visit the players whilst being treated from the impact of his "kopflose huhn" style. (f) I would be fearful if the club did indeed start to bring in players who are not better than the existing group.}
