Go fuck yourselves FSG

This thread's been lying dormant since Oct 2013, lose a cup final, bump it and it's the owners fault? Get a grip you pussy.

The idea that I dislike our corporate hedge fund managers, because we lost this match, is very far from the truth.

Glad to see we haven't blamed the owners since January.

What tends to happen when you ask questions about the owners is:

 

1) You're accused of being a knee jerk sky gen mong who wants a foreign despot in charge.

2) "I bet that if we won 4-0, you wouldn't have bumped this thread"

3) You have people who patiently explain to you, the brilliance of FSG's strategy, because naturally, the only way somebody would disagree is because they aren't smart enough to understand it.

4) it turns into a conversation about the manager.

5) People tell you that FSG aren't perfect, then talk at length about how they are actually perfect.

 

Now, if you know these are the replies that are going to greet you, it's simply not worth it. Why would you be interested in reading other Liverpool fans extol the virtues of Hedge fund managers?

What's the alternative though mate? What ownership model do you reckon would better suit us? With the new PL deal in place I'd wager that the number of foreign owners is about to increase exponentially, especially in the lower leagues, for the first time ever it's now actually possible to make a shit ton of cash out of football clubs.

Or 6) you get asked about the sort of owner you think is looking to take over the club, or would be interested and capable of buying the club.

 

It's a valid point don't you think? Best case scenario is that we're bought by richer hedge fund types. Or a Russian sheikh. I have no love for FSG, not one of those that think they are owed support for "saving" us, they'll make millions (billions?) if they ever do look to offload the club, it's just that this model of ownership is all we're ever going to have from this point forward in my opinion, no point complaining really as they're all the fucking same.

Option 2 seems valid.
