The Owners - FSG

I am expressing my opinion. I am not asking you to agree with me.

I am not a sheep.

Sorry, my brain is all over the place.

Iā€™m sure he did an interview in which he regretted it all and it got completely trashed on here?

Or was that just Brian Readeā€™s response in his book?

Wasnā€™t he involved in one of the other fuck ups and hence why he was shifted aside for those more competent.

Paul you mean?

Paul Hogan in Crocodile Dundee (1986)

The opposite. He was made MD then CEO.

The thing many overlook with David Moores is he had an obligation to other shareholders to take the best offer available, Iā€™m not sure how he was supposed to foresee the cuntishness they eventually displayed.

I think he did say he regretted selling to Hicks and Gillette, but heā€™s certainly kept a very low profile since.

No one is asking you to be a sheep. Just post sensiblyā€¦unless you really do believe Klopp hitchhiked to the CL final and played it all on his own.

Yeah but that doesnā€™t mean he didnā€™t fuck up, seen enough company structures to know that.

Unfortunately they had the track record of terrible ownership in the US. I was horrified and despite not us wanting to take the Abramovic road felt DIC (was that the supposed alternative then?) was the preferred option.

Iā€™m not surprised. His house was attacked several times and his family threatened.

Well, Liverpool are officially out of the ESL, to the owners, you have disgraced the name of our club by committing to this in the 1st place and I am disgusted in your stance against all football fans and especially Liverpool fans in this case you walk alone!

FSG are infuriating. In that most of the time they are really good owners, who have done great things to get the club where we are now. We have short memories if we forget quite what a mess we were in in 2010. But when they fuck up, boy do they fuck up.

Before anyone starts any petitions or tweets John Henry to tell him to fuck off, they have a duty to consider how we got here, and all our roles in this mess.

That means thinking about our own approach to football - the fetishisation of money, the way weā€™ve turned deadline day into an event, fans seeming more concerned with winning the transfer window than the champions league, the toleration and celebration of escalating wages, the continued endless pressure to buy more players, more players, more players.

We donā€™t end up in a position where our owners feel they have to embed our club in a sham league with guaranteed income just to be able to compete by accident. We are part of that too.

Oh, yes, he fucked up but he wasnā€™t pushed to the side. He was promoted!

Fantastic!!

Now we can look forward to being shafted again in PL matches, and being even more despised by every man and his fucking dog.
I was missing it already.

Still waiting for a long apologetic letter from FSG. Arsenal did a decent apology to the fans.

Shit house statement from FSG, no apologies, nothing
