I've been doing a bit of research and I reckon his great grandfather was related to mine. I'm not sure yet how to use this information to the best advantage.

Anyone who doesn't see the massive positive effect that FSG have had on the club are either deliberately obtuse or fucking daft.

Unfortunately when people are fucking daft they are too stupid to know it

Traded best player and put up ticket prices at the same time! Betts stated if he was paid his worth he'd stay.. Crazy move by them... 

 

Read this morning they are trying to get more for the player in trades to appease fans... 

Yeah, negative reaction by media and fans made them shit themselves.

At the very least it is your birthright to have a go on Linda

While I don't mind them as much anymore I'm not joining the FSG fanclub just yet. We are where we are because of Klopp, not because of Henry. Yes FSG have backed him in the market but considering how much money they've been making from the club, that's the least they could have done. 

Appoint a good manager;

Provide him with the necessary backing (not just financially, but behind-the-scenes personnel, infrastructure, etc);

Know when to be patient with a manager and when to be ruthless;

Don't treat owning the club as an excuse to have a public ego trip;

Don't leach vast sums of cash out of the club. 

 

I’m sure that somebody else will have some additional requirements of a club’s owners, but those seem like the top five to me. FSG have ticked all of those boxes - and better still, they’ve got better at fulfilling those criteria as time has gone by. 

 

I don't really care whether or not owners are committed fans before they took over. I don’t think anybody doubts that Moores was a fan, but FSG have been far more successful owners and not by chance.

It's not all down to klopp but fuck me they struck gold with him. Pure gold.

When I was newly single a few years ago and out regularly on dates, it became apparent that the girl I was out with one night was more than likely related at grandparent / great grandparent level.

 

We had plenty of fun times.

 

tell John that story and see if his eyes twinkle.

Yup, the arsenal model with a great manager.   Don't see many walking off Arsenal's owners.

It isnt arsenal's model at all. Their owners are presiding over stagnation not to mention syphoning money out of the club. arsenal's model is more like the glazers at united.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

FSG are running the club so it's financially sound and generating profits by being successful on the pitch. They've backed the managers all the way - even if Kenny and Brendan were the frogs they had to kiss before finding their prince.

 

I'm happy enough with that.
