Good evening ED002. Just would like your view on a question I asked yesterday, relating to the walkout and ticket increase. I replied to a post with this question and it wasn't posted, so I tried three further times. By doing this ED001 has called me a troll and threatened bans.

Firstly I'm no troll, this is a genuine question of genuine interest.

The walkout fans and those who support them, will they also be demanding the club splash millions on new players? £20m for Ter Stegen or Butland, a new CB and striker.

I wonder if you also see this a bit of double standards? We want an improved stadium, better coaches, better manager, better players. Some wanted to push the £25m bid to £40m to buy Teixeria in Jan. We don't want the club in debt. Yet we don't expect to put our hands in our pockets and contribute to this?

comparing our (UK) prices to Germany, Spain etc is just not realistic. Don't the EPL teams find it so easy to pick the players and get them usually due to the wages we pay? Those requesting Reus or Hummels still think we should buy them but pay lower prices. Where is the coming from? It has to come from all areas, TV, sponsorship and fans.

The notion of selling to buy. How easy is this! Was it easy to sell Enrique the last two years? Ballotelli? what prices are expected from the players who fans don't deem good enough for us? We keep calling Mignolet rubbish but expect to just sell him easy and for millions, although he's crap?

So genuinely. Not trolling. Those who want FSG to buy 10 new players, better players and rid the club of rubbish (which costs as well) a better stadium are they also the ones walking out and demanding lower ticket prices?

Before you answer, the lower league clubs in league one and two, some have to charge say £25 a ticket just to survive. IF the prem, the elite, charge £30-£40 like in Germany or Spain, do you think these lower clubs can still charge £25, will those fans demand £10 tickets instead? How long before they disappear because they can't survive?

{Ed002's Note - Well Max I think you could spend a couple of hours running through the posts from this afternoon where I explain my point that football at the highest level is really big business now and long gone are the days of the cloth-capped, hobnailed-booted, chimney sweep making his way, rattle in hand, to cheer on his team at Anfield on a Saturday afternoon. It is moving on and many don't like that - and I do appreciate they don't like it - but it is the reality of where the business (game if you like) is heading.}

Thanks Ed, I agree. It is a shame, it's not the preferred choice but it is what it is. Thanks for posting, I'm not here to troll. Thanks for answering, I understand this must be the hundredth question since yesterday.

Your not trolling yet I could count at least six posts probably more were you keep repeating the same points to provoke a reaction from other posters and ed001, now I'm no Internet expert and a bit of a techno phob, but is that not the definition of trolling? You've made your point, you despise the filthy men who dared to stand up to the ian ayres of this world and his paymasters F$G, we get it now leave it there .

Ok Waro, that wasn't my intention. I hadn't seen some of my posts, so I assumed they were blocked/ not posted.

I do not despise anyone or find the walkout fans filthy. I'm more curious to know who of those here that were part of or support it are also wanting FSG to splash millions upon millions on players this summer.

I think that's a fair point to ask.

I think you can safely say that our summer budget will be somewhere along the lines of £20M plus whatever can be gained from sales, with the selling to be done first.

I think the club accepts that they are going to have to take some quite big financial hits to get rid of some of the players - but they have no choice. Digging in for a higher price means keeping them on the wages books.
