Find it funny when you said that. Not many were that 'concerned' about G&H at that time. So ideally that minority should have been up in arms about FSG but everyone is.
I don't know what point I am trying to make here, but that statement just doesn't sit well with me.
G&H were given their chance based on the information that was given, there were whispers in the woodwork - stories of past bankruptcies and leveraged buy outs, but ultimately we trusted those in charge thinking we knew what was needed for the way forward, looked at their successes with the baseball or hockey teams they owned and, possibly stupidly, gave them the benefit of the doubt until they gave us reason to otherwise. ATM, FSG has done nothing to give us doubt, they havn't done much to gain trust either but I find it a good thing that they're not making promises they cant keep, I think it's too early to even suggest any relation with the 2 sales or their plans for the club, we (I) expected a bumpy road as soon as they revealed their knowledge of our sport, obviously not as bad as it turned out.
In terms of the sale, stories around the time seemed to hint towards Broughton ? securing a deal that was best for the future of LFC, not necessarily having a shiney new stadium as a condition for potential purchasers ? (at a time when the club was sinking like a lead weight), so to have owners that acknowledge something needed to be done about the stadium situation was a huge bonus for me. We can hope they wasn't telling porkies but like I said above, they don't seem the owners that want to make promises they cant keep ?. I don't think that we can expect statements like *back to winning the PL in 3 years* or *we have enough money to compete with anyone (IE City)* to be promises ?, seems more wishful thinking, goals or rolling a shit situation in glitter ?.
I think we need to consider our options at the time also, for those who say they got us for a quid ?, Huang, DIC, Lim, banks and a Manc were circling our dug grave and waiting for us to jump in, heard enough people on here that say "X player is only worth as much as someones willing to pay" and I think that rings true here, at the very least the alternatives were very sparse and to suggest some unknown could do a better job is a more than wishful thinking imo.
I guess what i'm trying to say is - we backed H&G until they shafted us and I believe FSG deserve the same, otherwise were gonna spend the rest of our days chasing owners out the door because they havn't lived up to expectations, when alternatives just don't appear to be present.
I believe though, that FSG need to do more and they need to learn quick, it's coming upto 2 years now ? and to be honest I think I expected more competency than this by now.
