Fucking sick of these nobheads.
When John Henry at his mates first peered through the Anfield door we were a fucking disaster area.
Debt, no plan on or off the pitch, Cancer and AIDS. A shadow of our former selves.The lot.
10 years on and we have an awesome expanded ground, the best manager in the world, new training facilities on the way, a squad that pissed the league by 18 points when up against the biggest bunch of financial cheats in football history, and commercially we're in the best place we've ever been. And yet we've still got tonnes of cry-arsing attention-seeking pricks desperate to seem edgy instead of enjoying the best owners we've had since the days of Smith and Robinson.
I fucking hate the FSG out twats.

Yeah. Let's get a sheikh in so we can spend a billions pounds every summer and get even more fanbois through the door.
 
Some people are too interesting in being able to brag about transfers over the next 3-6 months than the long term health of the club. The investments in the stadium, training facilities, the club's role in the community etc. has all been fantastic. Yes they could put more money in and are open to some criticism potentially, but we are a far far cry from FSG Out being a reasonable reaction to our current situation!
 
They're probably the same dumb bells who read The S*n and phone in to TalkSport. I've not much more time for the 'everything is beaudifuul' FSG fan boys, but the overall achievements of FSG, so far, are ineluctable. They just need, as all owners do, to be monitored in a balanced way.
 
I think they're fine but it's hard to say how much they just got lucky that Klopp wanted to come to us.

I'll always be grateful that they found a way to keep us at Anfield, though. I never wanted to move to some soulless new stadium.
 
Have I missed something?

Is this related to 6CM or fans elsewhere?

I've not heard / seen any "FSG out" comments.
 
Hogan's first interview as CEO yesterday was not a great sign for them. 'I travel up to Liverpool at least once every week' - you're CEO, mate, you should be living in the area and there every damned day! It's not like being CEO of Dominos or Coca-Cola, a football CEO is a combination of manager, diplomat, firefighter, PR chief and community leader. It's not Hogan's fault he's not Moore, but we'll need someone else at the club to do the more personal stuff, and we'll need that quite keenly during the next few months of near-chaos.

Totally agree on this.
Hopefully the club brass also agrees on this.

Why did Moore leave, anyway? I thought it was his dream job.

Him and his wife had family and businesses back in the US and they always planned to go back. That's the official line and as far as I know it's actually true, for once!
 
And dont they have 4-5 children that are still living in the US aswell, I can understand his decision.
 
What have the lizards ever done for us? Well apart from the title, the CL, the world club cup, the super cup, the main stand, klopp, some weird minority report savants in the scouting dept, better choice of booze and more chance of getting served... But apart from all that.

But apart from all that there is something that still makes me resist our reptilian overlords. They seem to be serial opportunists, along with a perfect eye for a great deal, they seem to have had an almost satanic amount of luck. I suppose we'll see if that's true over the next few years.
 
I honestly don't see many FSG out people. There's plenty bemoaning out net investment in the squad, which is understandable when we've spent less than Stoke in the last five years, and I don't like to think of where we would be without Klopp, but they've been largely excellent owners who have delivered on their promises. We couldn't realistically hope for much better.
 
Oh! I read the thread title and was expecting to read an instruction manual on instruments that could be used for the removal of FSG.
 
I get frustrated when people say things along the lines of 'all they've done is invest in things to make us more valuable when they sell us' - well what would you rather have instead?! Oh no, this company that specialises in sports franchises has come and invested into the long term infrastructure of the club, whilst balancing this against investing in success on the pitch. Is there any better scenario than this? Do we really want to be up to our eyeballs in debt just to try and win a trophy and beat rivals to the signature of some mercenary wanting £400k per week? That wouldn't be the Liverpool I support.
 
There is a middle ground. I don't want to be all arsenal about our net spend. We need players in for this season and it starts in 10 days. Everyone else is kicking on, we've made the most profit both on a cash and on an asset basis of any football club out there, and we're the ones crying poverty.

Don't wanna see it all go red sox
 
see at the end of the day it is just about what strategy you follow. Be it any business or project, you evaluate the risks and opportunities and decide according to the result of this evaluation. From outside it does seem like, the club wants to take a safer option for this season, so that is what they have chosen. We might face issues this season but remember, it will also give us more room for spending in the Jan window or next summer window.
 
I do agree that it feels a very conservative investment (1 or 2 players) would really bring the best return out of the rest of the team - rather than let be what we've achieved be the peak and let it dwindle from there. We have some world class players in their prime, lets milk it.

A post the expounds the virtues of our current owners and ends with a statement of hatred against them. Must be an Arsenal fan 😉

In the cold light of day, we all want the same things really.

We may not have many posters screaming "FSG Out", but it's fucking weird how some people are actually unhappy.

If I live another 30 years, and we win 15 major trophies in that time, that would be pretty fucking awesome and I would have to be happy with that.
With some fans, it seems like that same scenario would bring them 45 months of joy and 1515 months of stress / worry / unhappiness.

I'm ok with "each to their own", I just don't get it at all.
