Go fuck yourselves FSG

[lebron]

Be careful what you wish for seems apt...

 

That being said, can't blame our owners for the incompetence of UEFA/Premier League in terms of setting up a fair FFP-system and handling the subsequent sportswashing.

That made me laugh a bit more than it probably should have.

The vast majority won't care who buys us or what they do as long as they're distracted by something shiny every window to distract them long enough.

 

Some oil state is the nightmare.

No, I do. I just clearly have zero desire to engage with you, so kindly toddle off…

No. I’ll happily post on the forum in a thread that’s had the owners bang to rights for fucking years when you’ve invented gymnastic moves to try and defend them. 
 

Either front up or fuck off you boring cunt.

All the abuse given to Chelsea, Man City, Newcastle and PSG could soon come back and bite us on the arse.

I’ve said nothing about this FSG news and I have zero desire to have any sort of conversation with you on this subject or anything else. 
 

Post all you like about it, kindly leave me out of it.

Ratcliffe is one of the few contenders outside of the oil states that we know is looking for a club and has the funds, then you've got the other failed Chelsea bidders until someone new pokes their head out.

 

Question is, is this just exploratory work by FSG or is it further along.

Just don’t want petro cunts

 

Then who on earth are we going to end up with then, mate? Who can you point to as the ideal type of owner who can 1) not saddle us with debt and take money out to fund it like Hicks and Gillett 2) will increase funds for the manager? I can't see many clubs around Europe who aren't owned by oil states who are able to beat those clubs. We will be extremely, extremely lucky to get away with having owners that are the same as these without being backed by some state-owned entity like the oilers. This is a massive risk for the future of the club, let alone improvement on the pitch. 

 

Football is dead. If we are going to sell our soul again, let's at least do it to compete with the other cunts.

Can I just shock you? I like murderous, oppressive despotic oil states. Despite what I said earlier.

Doubt it'll come to anything. Probably just selling a stake, and luring parties to the table by saying you'll listen to offers for the whole shebang.

If any new owners have the kind of approach to human rights those in control at some clubs do, then I’d expect Klopp to seriously consider his position.

As an FSG fanboy I don't like this for a couple of reasons. First one being they are tight minge bags. If they think it's time to sell then the numbers people obviously have evidence that now is the peak value or close to it.

 

The 2nd point is who we sell too. Its Dubai, China or some other American cunt like Bolehy. The only reason I ever defended them was because billionaires are generally cunts, I wouldn't swap them for another owner in the PL, not one of them tick more boxes than FSG. It's an absolute guarantee we get taken over by a scumbag who will throw some crumbs to the cunts looking to hire airplanes. Klopp won't stick around for cunts, that's another certainty. 

Shut up you bitch made son of a bitch. And neg this post too.

If you were doing that you'd offer a stake in the parent company (and do it less publicly), either they'll sell a controlling interest and retain a small percentage or it'll be a full sale.

I think it will all happen really quickly now. Usually with FSG something gets leaked and then a big announcement happens soon thereafter. Would not be at all surprised if the new owners were Redbird. 

 

It potentially explains a lot. The EPL was probably a last throw of the dice and once that failed they were happy to write it in that they would join it. Has it gone into the articles of association yet? If not, perhaps one for the new owners to unpick?

 

Certainly would explain their reluctance to invest. Perhaps even Jürgen's new deal. 

 

There has certainly been a number of articles about Cardinale being LFC's boss at some point, maybe that happens now. 

 

For all my criticisms of them, they are normally very professional and I just don't see this dragging on for months. I would expect that it is really much further down the line than we imagine.
