I totally agree with the planned walk during the game on Saturday. It's a peaceful protest and not vitriolic in nature and something needs to be done. I'm no accountant but given this new TV deal coming into affect next season you would have thought FSG would pass on some piece of the pie to the fans. But then again the fans are probably having to pay for the Peter Risdale-Esque spending the club has sanctioned on very expensive but average players the last few seasons. Let's hope we have a future of prudent and fiscal expenditure alongside the purchasing of affordable world class talent.

{Ed002's Note - The owners were losing £1M a week for the first thre years of ownership and the club has vast debt. They have constantly been abused by the fans and the whole deal with Liverpool has been a nightmare for them.}

My take:
FSG have indulged managers too much with ridiculous recruitment policies. They need to work on this before ticket prices.

FSG lost 156 million pounds in the first 3 years of their ownership? That's preposterous figures. I bet they can't wait to sell so their 'nightmare' ends. I think Ron is correct our recruitment policy has been disatorous and needs fixing. Also we have to give some of these kids a chance now, it's the only way they will become men. Ward, Brannigan, Stewart, Ojo, Texeira could save us a lot of money in the long run. I still think FSG have been worthy custodians. They've spent gazillions on players, revamped Anfield which most of the fans wanted and made stellar strides commercially. They have also made some foolhardy decisions but which football club hasn't? You don't become we'll run like Chelsea and Arsenal overnight!

Nice one Ron.

Exactly what I thought.

I've never criticised the owners, but I've always criticised Liverpool Football as a generalisation over the years, as they've treated fans like Dirt.

It's the supply and demand mentality which many businesses conform to, but a kick in the teeth to the hardworking fans who made this club what it is.

Trust me on this, Liverpool Football Club will never be the same now. Our national game has become universal, and along with other clubs, is on a slope to losing its identity.

They have also been in charge of potentially our most unsuccessful period on the pitch in 40 plus years. They have made so many errors. They have cost themselves money. 1 league cup and 1 Champions League run. Awful by any standards. They need to take a fair portion of the blame.

04 Feb 2016 18:25:19
Football itself is in big trouble I feel and on a downward slide. I watched a Spanish game the other day, Deportivo against Betis I think (don't quote me on that) and the stadium was more than half empty. A lot has been made about City and Chelsea not filling their stadiums and they are not the only ones. Where will we be in 10 or 20 years of it keeps going on like this? Will everyone want to watch games on telly when there's nobody in the stadium? No atmosphere to feed off? I can't see it. I fear unless something is done football will just fizzle out.

''FSG have indulged managers too much with ridiculous recruitment policies. They need to work on this before ticket prices. ''
Have they not done this seemingly with Klopp who hasn't spunked millions in a january chasing tex and admits he's working with what we've got.

04 Feb 2016 18:34:10
Only a guess, but if Fenway sold next year, surely they would make a tidy profit?

04 Feb 2016 18:43:30
They can only blame themselves by giving jobs to Commoli and Rodgers. It is amazing how they did so little research in hiring people and trusting them with so much money.

04 Feb 2016 19:03:15
So disrespectful. Liverpool almost went into administration before FSG bought them. They have poured money into the club. The bought Suarez, who gave us one of the most exciting season's we've had in a long time.

Such short memories we have. Without FSG we could've ended up like Rangers as far as i'm concerned.

Then, FSG need to take some of the blame for that even tho, I think they are thoughtful owners. They`ve been swindled by snakeoil salesmen like Comolli, BR and the lot so it`s their fault partly for not learning quickly on the job.

04 Feb 2016 19:38:25
Being Naive to the sport is there biggest mistake, but I don't think we should be anything but thankful. You also can't forget that Comolli had success prior to coming to Liverpool, and at the time Brendan was one of the up and coming managers. We all thought he would be great when he signed, he didn't just fool the owners, he fooled us all.

{Ed001's Note - sorry what success had Comolli had? He was a joke before we hired him.}

04 Feb 2016 19:41:49
FSG bought Liverpool for one reason and one reason only. After a few years to sell at a tidy profit. They couldn't care less about the fans or the club, they looked at it as just a business deal.

04 Feb 2016 19:49:13
Didn't he bring Bale and Modric to Tottenham?

{Ed001's Note - he paid a lot more than both players would have cost though, and he bought both for completely different roles that they failed in. He had no idea how to negotiate, nor did he have any clear idea of whether players were any good in the roles they were brought in to fill. It was luck not judgement that saw two out of a large number succeed. A case of throw enough much at the walls and some will stick.}

04 Feb 2016 19:53:04
More no, do people often buy clubs with the hope of not making a profit? This is one of the biggest businesses in the world, of course they wanted to make a profit.

04 Feb 2016 20:05:52
Thanks Ed001, didn't realize he paid over the odds. Was just aware that he brought bale, modric, berbatov, etc. to the club who altogether made the club close to 200mil? I looked it up, he signed 26 players over 4 years, only 5 of which you could consider successful signings.

{Ed001's Note - exactly, he is a snake oil salesman.}
