I'm not sure that FSG deserve any credit for Leicester City winning the title, moron.
Indeed. Nor should we expect 5000-1 shots coming in to be the norm.
I'm sorry but FSG have played a massive part in our transfer dealings forcing a transfer committee upon their Manager at the time.
No argument from me that they've certainly made mistakes - I'm not denying that at all. What I'm saying is that it hasn't been all bad by any means.
Macca nailed it for me " They just don't understand football"
Whereas the Thai owners of Leicester City or the American owners of Manchester United do?.
I don't think you can just blame owners.
I'd rather have Herr Klopp now than whoever was available to us then.
Very good point. There's no better manager that we could possibly have hoped to attract given our finances, squad and quality.
That is true. Unfortunately in the fast moving and ever changing Premier League...particularly going into next season with teams around us having loads more money to spend etc, having Klopp will count for little...in my view at least.
It's very very early days in the transfer window and it's been a slow market for all Clubs thus far, Upcoming Euros delaying any potential deals etc but going by the profile of player we're being linked with...young and upcoming with big potential it seems to me at least that we're happy enough to write next season off again and put it down as another bedding in period for this young Liverpool team whilst Klopp gets a full season to put his stamp on the team and all that jazz and we take stock next summer again. I'm probably coming across awfully impatient here but that to me all seems very naive and weak in a ruthless League and with Clubs like Leicester and Spurs as added competition etc you can't help but be a little downbeat about the whole thing

It's all a bit ruth.
That will kick in after a few games have been played. It's all forgotten right now.
I've always said that we'd never win the league under FSG. They seemed to be arrogant enough to assume that everyone in football was a moron, and they could win it by being just super-duper smart. But as many have pointed out, they don't know enough about football to be smarter than anyone.
And if you aren't smart enough, you get in people who are, or just throw immense amounts of money at the problem. Or do both.
FSG do neither, so we can forget the title until they fuck off and someone who has the desire and wallet to provide it takes over.
As far as I'm aware though, our only successful signings from that period are players the transfer committee selected and forced upon BR.
Countinho, Sakho, Sturridge, Can, etc.
Except we easily could have won the title in 13/14 and FSG had nothing to do with us falling short.
Exactly - and if we were really honest with ourselves - the purchases under Rodgers were not that bad whether by committee or by himself - the problem has been that they all needed at least one year+ to blossom. There are so many of you here that think that what LCFC did this year will be a one-off - I actually don't I think the money and lack of quality players in world football will balance the odds against the big spenders. The big spenders in this league cannot attract any of the worlds 3 freak game changers - so whoever they get will not be that great or consistent enough to be relied upon.
Yeah, such a shame that we still couldn't manage it when it was so easily possible.
So, we still haven't won the title under FSG. Do you think we'll win it next season?
As far as you're aware. Right, yep. Well, I don't need any more convincing.
