Relating to my other post can any one give me a good reason why they want the owners out.
{Ed002's Note - Waro would be the one to answer this. Ask him who he wants to see owning and running the club and perhaps it will all be out in the open.}

I want the owners out simply because they don't know football, and its hard to learn football when you're a 65 year old. This is purely investment for them, i'd rather have an Abrohamavic (sic) or one of the billionaire Arabs who has a genuine love of the game and our football club. TBH i'd rather have David Moores back at the club.
{Ed001's Note - for one, those 'Arabs' that you refer to often don't have a really genuine love of the game, they are just looking to create a good image for their country. As for Moores, you have to be either an absolute moron or so completely ignorant of how that prick is the one responsible for the mess the club is in that you can be excused. G&H's main issue was that they run out of money trying to fix the complete **** up of the club that Moores made, siphoning everything into his pockets instead of investing it in the club. We could have had a new stadium many years ago, but he refused to cut his salary or invest to pay for it.}

I don't want the owners out.
I want them to sort the transfers. We sell our best players for big money, then buy rubbish players
It's not surprising were 9th with this lot we are Exactly where we belong if not punching.

I was watching an old Episode of Chasing Classic Cars and who do I see sat in the front row of a Pebble Beach car auction? David Moores spending the millions he made out of LFC.

I replied further down the page, my apologies.

At what point has any of the Arab owners or Abramovich showed they have a 'genuine' love of the game. Maybe they do, but most likely it is a business investment. And as for Moores, the Ed summed it up perfectly.
{Ed002's Note - I think you are miles from correct here. Mr A has never seen it as a business investment. The "arab" owners didn't but have regrouped and have sold a decent part of their business on.}

I am sorry, But Owners doesn't pick the players mate. Managers are responsible for the players we bring in. If they knew the slightest about players, 90% of the players would have been not bought.

For me, their biggest failure is employing the wrong people.
I don't buy into all this 'just an investment' thing that seems to be cropping up here at the moment.
Maybe it is/ was seen as an investment, but what are you expecting? Some Huyton born billionaire who's made some oil money and now wants to purchase the club he loves?
They've consistently poured money into the club and consistently failed to take anything from it.
On a final note from me on this, I am concerned that all this abuse of the owners will speed up any potential sale,
If they decide f*c* it, and sell up because of the abuse, I'm sure you'll all be banging your 'I told you so' drums, when up to this point, they have done everything asked or expected of them.
Kenny and Rodgers both had bags of money to spend, we're increasing the capacity of anfield and we've just signed Klopp.
So what more exactly are we expecting from them?
{Ed001's Note - we expect them to learn a lesson from their mistakes, instead of continually repeating the same ones over and over.}

This one for transition who replied to a post of mine late last evening.
I am not saying only people from my background should go and watch Liverpool that would be silly. I'm saying there are generations of Liverpool supporters whether from the city or not (but of course mostly from the Liverpool area) that have followed the club with their parents and grandparents.
The current proposals aim to squeeze those people out as what was once affordable is becoming increasingly less so year on year. The club as Ed02 has stated are targeting to compete with greater amounts of corporate hospitality and match day package sales for the "relatively well off" new money supporters that are becoming interested in the game.
Attracting richer people in itself I have no issue with of course however to accommodate getting these people in the club will price people out of the seats they have occupied for 30, 40 years + as clearly those paying the most money want the best seats. Mr Ian Ayre is saying well there are £9 tickets and cheaper tickets but guess what only in the parts of the ground that mean the view is not as good.
So in my example my family will be priced out of seats in the main stand by the press box that have been season tickets for nearly 40 years. What the club are saying is well you can no longer afford to sit there so your elderly father-in-law who struggles with stairs (but has supported us for over 50 years) will have to make way for the rich bloke who can afford it and go and sit in the cheaper seats because otherwise the rich bloke and corporate hospitality won't be attracted unless they get the best on offer.
Why it's emotional blackmail is they know we love the club and want to continue to watch the team every week so they are asking us to beg, steal and borrow the funds together now to do so.
They are taking a big gamble mate as is football in general as if they price out the true diehard fans then one day the corporates get board and move on they will have nothing left, no TV money as the games won't be broadcast with empty stadia and then the game has fianlly imploded. Obviously they know that is unlikely whilst people with cash are waiting in the wings to pay up because football is "fashionable" but I and other people who go the game don't have to like or accept it without raising our objections.
I don't know your circumstances Transition, don't know how well off you are or how frequesntly you go the game but either money is no object to you or you don't quite get what's happening or you simply couldn't care less about the less priveleged LFC fans who go the game as their weekly release from hard work and their stressors.

Transition. That's what I'm saying mate, I want them to wipe clean the entire transfer setup, shambles!
im not intelligent enough to suggest ideas, but it doesn't take a genius to work out a good player from a poor one.
Suarez = 40 goals. Sell him and buy lambert n Balotelli?
Where's the thinking here?
Buy Benteke when nobody in the squad can cross?
Let Gerrard go, most influential player in the last 20 years, don't replace him because we have Hendo?
The fans can see it, why can't the club.
