Controversial to many on here but I think they've been good owners. Some real shady cunts tried to buy us from Tom & Jerry.   FSG came in, stabilised us, kept us at Anfield and redevelop

Based on replies to my tweet about this, the defence seems to be that because the club pays tax they're entitled to do this. Another argument is that there are wealthier businesses doing the same and

Same old cuck banging the FSG drum. Shame the French coppers didn’t give him a good kicking.

I can't believe I'm about to defend fsg..... But they're not taking the money out. They don't take a dividend. They don't take extortionate wages or expenses (as far as I know anyway). If we're not spending, the money is still there.

 

But they'll only spend it if they believe there's a return. The little they have spent was getting the club into the CL. Even then it was conservative. Since we've got there, financially that's enough for them. They will start each season and if the manager says "I need to spend 100m", their reply would be "and what is the return on investment". IMO, klopp is almost a victim of his own success. Why would you spend 50 or 100m if the financial outcome doesn't guarantee that and more,.in fact spending 100m would mean P&L would be down? They just won't. It's not about winning cups, it's about getting us in the CL and having a team that has a role of the dice. 

I think that there's more than an element of truth in this.

They're lucky that Klopp's response to "and what is the return on the investment" wouldn't be "my continued service John".  Klopp is a well paid, loyal, and honourable employee yes, but we're fortunate that he also seems to thrive on a challenge, very fortunate.

Wonder if we really will earn that £80m. The base figure seems so low.

I will genuinely be surprised if we get anywhere near that figure even discounting the potential effects on the world economy right now.

 

For years, most dismissed claims by united, city and chelsea that their new deals would rake in xx million pounds because of all the performance related bonuses that would need to be met.

 

You'd presume this deal would also have such conditions plus, we're starting 15m down each season from the NB deal.

 

I normally buy a shirt but 70 quid plus a tenner(?) for a Gold PL champions badge, meaning around 80 quid? The kids can buy it for me as a christmas present if they want!

Yes it does. Edwards was buying Balotelli and Borini before Jurgen arrived.

That isn't 'The spend table and their track record as owners before Jurgen arrived'. Even then, you need to look at Edwards role at the club then. Even then, what it isn't is 'conclusive proof' that FSG have 'ZERO' to do with the achievements. 

 

If you've got something new to say, that'd be great.

Managers and transfer people work together. Edwards is good for Klopp and vice versa. We signed failures before Klopp got here and Klopp also bought Karius. Klopp wanted Gotze and Brandt, he settled on Mané and Salah. Get the point?
