Hey Eds, I have a few questions regarding FSG's football group they may put together in the future.

Firstly will FSG look to use Toulouse as a club to loan players to in order to develop them so they gain match experience? If this is the case, will they then look to buy more prospects in the transfer market like City are doing at the moment with Yan Couto, Kayky and Stefanovic as they would have a place to send them to where they could play regular first team football at a decent level?

Will FSG also implement the same "footballing philosophy" as Liverpool at Toulouse similar to the way Red Bull have done throughout their clubs? Will they try and get a manager in who has a similar style of play to Liverpool currently and will they try to change the structure of the club so it aligns with Liverpool's?

Are FSG looking to create a franchise in the MLS? If they are, I assume it would be in Boston and they will play in red, with potentially some play on words between Sox and Soccer in the team name!

Will youth development and the academy play a big role at these other clubs in the family or will the aim of the group have entirely different goals?

Finally are there any other countries that FSG will look to have clubs from?

Sorry for the many questions - I am just intrigued what FSG are planning for their football club group and the implications it could have on LFC. Many thanks for your good work guys!

{Ed002's Note - Right now everything is up in the air. The plan was certainly be to build a group of clubs and whilst players may go to Toulouse on loan other options may be considered. What they won’t do is invest in clubs where there is not a good opportunity for a return, and once significant growth is no longer available then selling and doing it again makes more sense. FSG have not registered interest in an MLS Franchise. In terms of other countries, now is not a good time to go down that route. The big fear is that they will leverage more and more debt on the club.}

I’ll be honest Ed, huge losses, no champions league, sponsors walking away because our owners are toxic and more leveraged debt is beginning to sound a lot like the last bunch of chancers who owned us. I have this awful feeling that we’re going to see an exodus of our best players in the summer, as there’s already talk of Madrid fancying a go at buying Fabinho and Salah leaving. That would leave us totally screwed us next season.
