What contrary factual evidence.
You are passing other people's opinions of as fact and then using it as a stick to beat me with.
I will say it again when the highest rated players on the global stage become available we aren't there competing whatever the age group. Someone earlier was trying to pass Danny Ings off as an example of us targeting the World's best young players. It is laughable. You try and pass yourself off as neutral but only really seem to disagree with people who question FSG.
You then come up with the best bit which is that me being constantly attacked is proof that it is somehow my fault. Get to fuck even when i don't post in here I still get attacked. For me the reason is crystal clear anyone who questions FSG gets the same response.
Even Graham who has done more for the supporters than the lot of you put together constantly has his motives questioned.
Top post, Al.
Having an opinion that isn't of the majority doesn't make you wrong, and the opinions of the majority aren't automatically correct simply because they are of the majority.
Additionally, it should be noted that there are plenty of posters that agree with plenty of Al's points, but they're just not as active in this thread and even if they were, it's only natural that more members will rally around and defend a critique of the owners and club officials than will rally around and defend a critique of Al.
FSG purchased Liverpool on October 2010. That's 5 full seasons + 3/4 of a season + the current season.
Looking back, how many of us believed that 6.5 years later all we would have to show as footballing success from their ownership would be 1 carling cup trophy, one title race, we'd be on our 4th coach, only once qualifed for the Champions league (obviously this season is still up for grabs), and only
once finished above 6th place? That in the subsequent 6 season final standings since their ownership, we would finish 6th twice, 8th twice, and 7th once?
That during their reign, we would also end up selling some of our best offensive players?
We've had 12 transfer windows with FSG in charge, 6 of them Summer windows. How would you grade them over those 12 windows? How many times has our transfer policy seemed to change and alter, only to return to the initial premise of purchasing young and ignoring players above ages 25? How many different transfer models or structures ahve we had? Every single manager we've had has been blamed for our transfer policies and transfers in general, up to and including Klopp (
"FSG were willing but Klopp didn't want to spend above his valuation of "X" player").
At what point do we start saying "the buck stops with the owners". That they can quite clearly do much better than they have done, and are doing. Is the Klopp signing the beginning of a new start whereby the club structure off the pitch is aligned with the need for footballing success on the pitch, or is it an anomoly, a case of being in the right place at the right time, akin to our title challenge in 2013-14? I hope it's the former, but judging from our 3 windows under Klopp, the same obstacles still seem to be in play and I really do worry it's the latter scenario.
