Been waiting for that. Found out I can also add in thread notices as well.

Making mistakes and understanding risk are 2 different things.
The Red Sox are still the 3rd most valuable baseball team in the USA.
Are they having a bad year in the league… absolutely.
Will it hurt them overall… not really.
There is no promotion or relegation in USA sports. Thus it’s ok to have bad seasons every now and again to “reset” and get draft picks. The Red Sox will be fine.

I’m perfectly fine. And I understand your views. I just simply disagree with them. Disagreeing with them does not mean a lack of understanding of the views.
Similarly, your disagreeing with me does not mean that you haven’t read or understood my position.
I could just as easily claim that you are denigrating me…
We simply both have our different views. You accept club orthodoxy, I do not…
threatening me with sanctions will not change that.

Mistakes can result from misunderstanding of risk. No?

I’m specifically telling you stop saying people who disagree with you are drinking kool aid. You’ve done that a few times now. It’s isn’t helpful and it’s just going to wind people up.
Regarding the difference of opinion, that’s not a problem.
You are free to debate issues with me or decline. Point out weaknesses in my position, etc
It does you no credit to start threatening me at the drop of a hat. The term ‘drinking kool aid’ is simply a euphemism for accepting club orthodoxy…
So…is he signing

Neither of which are constructive because they both insinuate the other poster is just a sycophant to the club incapable of independent thought.
Liverpool fans know better than most that one of our responsibilities is to hold the owners to account. To scrutinise their stewardship. That’s precisely what many of us are doing. For the majority of us we’d like to see the club spend money and bring in new players. If that isn’t what the club is doing, ok, then we want to know why.
That’s precisely the line of thinking many of us have gone down. We’ve scrutinised the rationale and have reached the conclusion, for ourselves, that the position adopted by the club is a reasonable one in the circumstances.
FSG have earned a lot of trust among the majority of the fan base but it doesn’t mean their decisions are simply accepted in blind faith.
To suggest that’s the case simply because we hold a different view to you is insulting.

Really? I believe that is incorrect.
Is this kool aid any good and if so where can i get some.

Of course they can.
But are you suggesting that their understanding of risk — which they used to get the Red Sox to titles, which they used to get Liverpool to it’s current status amongst the very best clubs in the world, and which they use for business ventures outside of sports is suddenly flawed to where they now misunderstand risk?
Understanding Risk and Managing Risk doesn’t remove risk from the equation. Sometimes your analysis is all correct, and you still get a bad outcome. It happens.

In other words, that you accept the club’s thinking on the subject. Now that’s perfectly fine. Accepting this cannot be synonymous with sycophancy. That is simply a wrong interpretation.
To now assign me with that interpretation and then threaten me on top of that is simply preposterous.
I just happen to disagree with your position. Impugning me with motives is not a way to promote discourse…
Lets simply get on with the issues. I have no interest in this kind of back and forth…
My point is that in spite of the impressive records, they have been known to make mistakes, by whatever means.
And I just happen to question their position on this issue.
Yep, my mistake.

Okay, lets analyse this point from another position; why would anyone consider it reasonable, to incur further risk, in an already acutely threatened situation, a situation which could very likely worsen producing untold worldwide economic problems?
Because the only answer I can think of is to approach the sector as a bear market, and in effect moneyball it; steal a march. Problem is, for this, you would expect there to be lots of clubs throwing huge money around, but there isnt, and in fact our current position aligns with the wider behaviour of the market. Absent Cheaty and Romans gulag, the predominately larger sector of the market is behaving closer to what FSG are doing, rather than what you are proposing. This is because the bogeyman is out there.

You’ve been told to stop it, so stop it.
I’m enjoying the debate, and I’ll stress again that it’s fine to disagree. But no good comes of inflammatory language like this.
