FSG are not shit

Awaits contrary view. Assumes position of safety. Smug alert on. Proceed.

They've spent less than £18m net per season over 7 seasons.

 

We'd have spent more under Moores.

If that figure is true and I'm not disputing it, then I await the response. I'm thinking lower wage bill, new stand, free transfers in aren't counted, living within our means, Kenny and Brendan wasted millions, young players with greater sell on value, no CL means players won't come, lower wages mean players won't come, the rain in Liverpool and it's shopping means players won't come, Klopp won't waste millions, waiting till players are available, even keel, they're businessmen, they never promised to spend.................

I don't know where you got that, but the actual number is about £25m net per season. 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Conflicting statistics require data from a reputable source. Awaits confirmation.

[Thoth]

I think he is referring to the Pearce article in the Echo, it states a net spend of £125 mil over 7 seasons since they came in which is about £18 mil a season.. not saying that's right just pointing it out.

Not great though is it. Linda probably spends more on shoes.

[The Woolster]

Then they need to hire better people.

 

This is possible, but we don't really have an idea how good they are, we don't know what they've actually done or do. Personally, i think the track record of the 'transfer committee' is relatively good, they've got some wrong, but so do everyone

It is atrocious for the 9th biggest club in world football .. Utd are signing an £80 million pound player per window from now on by the looks of it and we couldn't scrape enough together for greismans left teste

Bring back Nightcat

He's off planning an attack on the new yacht.

Didn't you know mate they will back Jurgen to the hilt in the summer when the players are available. Griezman will love the Europa Cup playing alongside Emre and Dejan. Saying that they would all probably be rested.

She'll need some new ones for the new yacht.

Interesting. Bill Gates would have made for a phenomenal owner and Kraft probably pretty good as well. Conversely, Lim is a disgrace and would have been a disaster.

I like in those emails the way John Henry says that the brightest minds aren't working in British soccer and they need to buy the franchise to run it properly.

 

Yes John. You've really outwitted every stupid fucker working in English football haven't you. You bellend.

Is it atrocious?

 

How does the top 20 compare, who are the ins and outs that contribute to that figure.

 

Hypothetically, if we sold Benteke and bought Suarez we'd have a negative net spend. On the basis that a low net spend is bad and with very little context then that is a bad signing?

 

It's the problem with judging everything at the very highest level, it's red-top tactics. Oh my god we've only spent 18 million net per year (ignoring net spend is more than just transfer fee in vs transfer fee out).

 

Adding to that we've also been lamenting the club for a chronic waste of money and throwing 20 and 30 million at clubs consistently over the last few years and saying how shit the majority of players we sold were.

 

It can't be everything.

Neither Gates nor Kraft would have bankrolled us in the way some people want. We'd have been living within our means under both owners.

Your average man on the street will pour over the numbers when buying a phone a car or a telly but acts with suspicion when a football club wants to gather information on a multi-million pound purchase.

Football moves faster than any stats bollocks will comprehend. It took teams two months to figure our system out and our players are still going like robots, doing the same things that don't work again and again because there were no stats to measure their adaptability to changes in game conditions, tactical set-ups or opposition mentality.

Yeah but what about stats?

[Hades]

Because we recruit players based on their stats, not on their brains! Football is one of the only sports where a statistically inferior side can win.

[Thoth]

Just not this side!

Really, think you may be confusing things and placing too much emphasis on the stats as the overiding factor.

 

Football, for all it's supposed advances is one of the most antiquated sports in the world and the english leagues are arguably the worst of the big leagues.

 

The same people who hate stats are the same people who'll rush to the goals scored column the minute we're linked to a striker.

So, it advanced and antiquated.

Stating facts from a place of ignorance is never a good starting point.

 

This type of analysis is in its infancy, but it is out there, people are doing it, and there will be a massive first mover advantage to the club who gets their head around it first.

 

I'm actually on my way to a football analytics conference now, I'll let you of any groundbreaking analysis I see.

[Cardie]

So, it advanced and antiquated.

 

Profound.

No, for all it's supposed advances.

 

There's a difference.

[s(k)aturation]

So, it's not necessarily advanced.

 

Yes, I like that even better.
