What a way to wind down Klopp’s tenure. Wasted opportunity. At least Klopp is still sticking around for now…

 

[bluebell]

Longer version of the article:

I cheekily said our transfers were concluded at the signing of Endo. Looks like the owners have decided they won't spend anymore on transfers

 

[rurikbird]

Does VVD still “trust” this club? Many of these players are presumably rejecting big-money Saudi moves in order to try to win something here with Klopp and LFC - how will they feel when they’ve been led down? Just bizarre decision-making.

 

[Farkmaster]

At least he isn't addicted to the job. He won't have to keep succeeding on someone elses terms, but be seen as an outright failure like Wenger was at the end.

Also, yes it's an inflationary market. That's why you buy talented youth and keep your squad young. Don't hold on to players like Salah if you aren't going to spend to win around them.

The least invested part of this whole club is the investment.

Genuine question: who is this guy?
I went to his Twitter page and he claims to be a "sports journalist" but he doesn't appear to write for anyone and he isn't followed by any of the legit journos I follow.
So why should I believe what he writes?

You’re right, looks like a bullshitter.

Looks like another Indykalia type account. Pays for his own tick. But focuses solely on us.

Red flags.

They’ll sell or look for investment before they let the value of their asset plummet. Which is what will happen with mid table mediocrity and no Klopp

 

[Fabio]

I mean, i'd imagine he's probably correct like

I just wonder what's happened to the £90m-ish left from the Moises deal? I get the feeling they've lost any interest in silverware just like in Boston, their bigger goal is asset acquisition, weren't they looking to buy an NBA team? A league that's looking to get $75bn TV deal which equates to $250m per club per season over 10 years

 

[mom]

Dunno. Don’t care. Either look after my club please or sell up and move on.

Our second most expensive signing is riding our bench, the manager who wanted him, not really using him.

So....

 

[localny]

We're not that important to FSG anymore. Their focus is elsewhere. That's grand. It happens, but they need to sell and move on if that's the case

Only two games played yet, I’m sure Jurgen has a plan. 🙂

Tick tock.. tick tock..

So what? Klopp has to only pick winners in the transfer market, because that's something people do?

We can't afford to make such mistakes with our limited funds I'd say.
Be good if we played the lad though.

 

[binomial]

Come next month, I want FSG, Jorg and our entire scout network gone.

I don't think Nunez was a waste of money, but it could easily prove to be so.

But no club doesn't have hits and misses, ever.

 

[Zlate]

Imagine owning LFC, you’re at the top of your game and you don’t invest any of your own money into the club to make it even better and even more successful.

Absolutely ridiculous. It’s like we are the only team that cares about FFP.

For sure. My point, which I am quite sure you see, is that the current surroundings of state/billionaire fueled spending, with our economic situation, our margin for error is much smaller. Smaller than it was in the age of Carroll and Keane.

I am actually hoping for a switch to a 4231 or something similar, playing Nunez as a striker.

It's way more stupid than that.

Let's say you buy a house in foreclosure. It costs you 200,000.

Wow, did you buy well. It used to be a very average neighborhood, with quite a bit of character, but now? Rich people are coming in from everywhere to buy houses. Even the shitty ones, for farrr more than you have. All of a sudden the market supports far nicer houses there. Some rich people bought the Tudor house that fell down a couple times, even that blue one near you that people had almost forgotten, and they are constantly having contractors over.

You are no dummy, you make your house bigger. Everyone is doing it. You hit it off with an amazing architect and spend money well, and while there are fancier houses on the block with golden statues in their lawn, yours is respected as much as any.

The market kind of caps out, and you can scarcely believe it. Your house is worth 10 times what you spent on it! It's 2 million dollars and you aren't having to even pay a mortgage like the red house next door that smells.

A couple years pass. Your house needs a bit of paint and a new roof. Right now it's just leaking a bit. It's a bit over the budget you allowed for repairs, and now it's more expensive than if you had caught it earlier. Theres a bit of mold.

You correctly refuse to reverse mortgage the house for maintenance. It would eat into your massive gains in equity. Besides, you aren't like the neighbors , but you aren't doing bad, you've got the funds.

Nah. Let's wait, you say.

This, but you happen to be personally worth hundreds of millions / billions of dollars so it wouldn't even be an issue to get stuck in.

I suppose some might argue that you should save this wealth for your zillion kids and maybe sell some howitzers to Saudi to kill Yemeni kids because you only get one shot.
