The bigger question I have is, what exactly was the question? I think it’s very important to know what he was answering, in order to actually understand the context of his words.
I also find it quite interesting that when he’s talking about taking more risk in this interview, he couches it in the context of age. I’m wondering if it means that we were looking to bring in someone who is around the Thiago profile of been there, done that, will cost quite a bit because they’re already at the level they should be, but also old enough to phase out naturally when the youngsters come through.
If FSG do a part sale, outside investment doesn’t imply the strategy will change. New investment doesn’t guarantee there’ll be new investment in the club. Whether that’s the squad, wages, capex or what have you.
FSG can simply do as they wish. They can sell shares for X amount and use the money how they see fit. Not suggesting this will happen, but can hardly be discounted. The other point obviously is any new shareholders will invest on their terms and what they’re prepared for.
I suspect the other way based on what he says about age. The risk he is willing to take on is paying big money for someone still closer to prospect than established star. More Nunez than Kane.
We might as well do a full sale so that the club’s future can be clear. From how Klopp spoke, he left a lot of doubt whether the money is forthcoming from FSG.
Starting to wonder if there might be other motives for the Dubai trip for our mid season break with all these DIC links floating about… hopefully it’s just a coincidence that we chose Dubai of all places, but I don’t really believe in coincidences, especially when vast sums of money are involved.
Liverpool are in talks with a US-based buyer interested in a full takeover of the club, two sources have told the Mail on Sunday.
While the identity of the bidder remains a mystery, LA Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and Boston Celtics owner Steve Pagliuca have been linked to the club. The Ricketts family who pulled out of bidding for Chelsea at the 11th hour are understood to not be interested in Liverpool.
Meanwhile, Dubai International Capital ‘could be eyeing’ a deal to buy the club, according to reports in the Middle East. DIC failed to buy the club in 2007 after making a £312m bid.
Hope it’s just coincidence that the squad is going to Dubai for training camp.
It would bd a big help if there was a roaming boom mic in the room where we hold press conferences. Jürgen will look into the room as if he’s inviting a questio. Then you’ll hear a few seconds of quiet mumbling from the journalist. Then Jürgen answers the question which none of us watching has heard.
Yeah I don’t really do well with trying to listen to speech, so the press conferences are a more than a little annoying on that part since only Jürgen is clear most of the time…
