Hopefully we can still see another couple of additions before the window shuts.

Don't think we've had that greater transfer window to be honest.

The problem areas we had last season don't seem to have been addressed.

The owners have come up trumps in the other windows so fingers crossed.

Fsg are in profit while we desperately need players. Why can Boone on this site see what they are doing to the club?

To quote the great Ed002 himself, "this is why we don't discuss money"!

They have spent at least £400m on transfers, funded a new stand, bailed the club out in the first place, then continued to bail it out as it lost £1m a week or whatever it was etc.

You cannot even question their financial commitment.

Where they have stuffed up is their decision making. They have repeatedly put businessmen in charge of the club, not to mention the snake oil salesman that was Brendan, and that has ultimately stagnated our progression on the pitch, even if we have improved vastly in the commercial aspects of the game.

They have been far from perfect, but to even dare to suggest they are in profit is just a blatant lie. They probably will be when they sell the club but so what? Isn't the whole point of business to ultimately make a profit? How many of you would willingly burn a £0.5billion hole in your pocket, on a business, Just to help them out? All that money still doesn't even guarantee them a profit when the club is sold. They have committed that money with absolutely no definitive figure they will recoup. That is a gamble nobody on this page could even afford, let alone actually make.

They've made shocking decisions and are still making mistakes now, but financially they have supported our managers as well as anyone else. Move along people, because their is no foundation to your arguments.

When they first came in ed002 said the club was losing a million a week.
They have spent money as well as having to pay off so many managers etc.

Liverpool football club shouldn't be run as a "business" mk it should be run by a passionate guy wanting and willing to do what it takes to get us to the top.

Not a few Americans that love baseball wanting to make a profit in a few years.

{Ed001's Note - or we could live in the real world and not some dumb fantasy. Liverpool were always run within their means in the past when we dominated. No football club should ever be run outside of its means by a 'passionate guy' as that is when they go bankrupt. Anyone that thinks it is a good thing to do that has no idea about the real world. Which is defo you. How old are you? 5? 6? You throw tantrums like a small child after a draw, now you want to risk the club's future because you are too immature to wait for steady progress. Grow up.}

Agree completely MKS. They've committed far more than the previous owners in terms of player purchases, and it's a Godsend to see Anfield expanded (with stage two still yet to come? ) . It's clear they have not made the best or wisest in decisions, but that always goes 50/ 50 when you're not from the football "environment" and have to depend on hired advice and support. It's now actually funny to see posters put up numbers that are not only inaccurate but way off the mark, despite Ed002 repeating that the entire financial picture is not obvious or clearly seen by fans and others. When they do decide to sell eventually I hope they make a suitable profit - they're entitled to it.

You make them sound like super heros Adam. How much is the club worth now? How much profit did the club make in its last finacial year? Or in the future? The money they have invested will see huge returns, make no mistake about it.

If you don't spend in this league you will eventually go backwards.

It's. It that we haven't spent, but that we've spent badly.
Mignolet, Lallana, Wijnaldum, Carroll, Markovic, Balotelli, Allen, Borini etc. Which is just over £160m wasted.

They build onto the maid stand to make more money they made over 700mil on the club . lol can't believe fans are so blind. But no people will blame Klopp but as long as they making money everything alright 👌.

I personally think the owners have been great for pretty much all the reasons mk already said. What has left me disillusioned is the way transfers continue to happen (or not happen in the case of a much needed left back)

There's a squad being built which is fine but the defence is still a long long way from where it should be, I'm including our current fairly shaky midfield duo in that mix too as they offer no protection. We will hemorraghe goals all season, it's just a matter of hoping we out score all our opponents until this is fixed.

FranklyMrShankly. Wijnaldam? He has played 3 games for us and you have written him off already. That's crazy and moronic.

I've said from the start that we didn't need Wijnaldum and I stand by that. So he's a waste of money. If you need a left back and a midfielder who knows how to defend and you bring in another lightweight number 10 type, then yes that is a waste of money. I've seen nothing in any of the games that he's played for us (or last season for Newcastle), that he's worth what we paid or even that he was worth signing. Dutch Stewart Downing.

Whether they've made money or not, I don't think anyone an seriously accuse the owners of not backing the managers with transfer funds.

Note: sarcasm post

Redmen Reus and Mattaldinho are spot on! Does anyone have Hicks and Gillette's phone numebrs so we can say sorry and ask them to come back.

FSG = huge investment, big strides forward commercially across the globe, redeveloping the stadium and constant backing of a manager who just loved to sign player after player without any plan for them. Yeah, they've been awful owners and they bailed us out just hours before we went under. Sneaky opportunists!

What you also need to remember is FSG wiped the debt liverpool had when they bought it, Yeah they generated a fair amount through sales but also invested a lot on players, the stadium now, you then have to remember the constant salaries of players and staff, operating costs, etc. Its not just oh we sold x amount and bought x amount.
