Just calling out the whoppers and wind-up merchants when I see them. I have plenty on ignore, but some of them post so often (and pick so many arguments, with so many people on multiple threads) that you can't avoid their posts, as others reply to their endless provocation.
There's discussion, and then there's just utter nonsense and trolling. I expected more of the latter in this thread when I started it, but some of the stuff being written is not what I expected to read from genuine Liverpool fans.
It's a discussion forum after all and everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but given the amazing ride we've had under Jurgen (and what's been revealed about the extent of City's cheating), I just can't relate to fans who continually find negatives in everything when there's so much to enjoy.
At least less threads are getting locked now, and much of the toxicity is (mostly) in one place - like a Twitter section within RAWK.
With the greatest respect you accuse other posters of picking arguments and then reply to a four-day-old post and launch what can only be described as a rant. Calling fellow fans whoppers and wind-up merchants just because they raise sensible and rational reservations regarding FSG running of the club over the last three or four years.
To be frank it is what you tend to do. You create a strawman that basically anyone who doesn't support FSG every single time is some spoilt child. A child throwing his toys out of the pram and demanding we are bought by a nation-state, sign every superstar under the sun and sports wash our way to success. When you are continually told that isn't the case. Then you switch to Strawman 2.
If we don't want to be sportswashed then we want to be plunged into a billion pounds of debt. You do that because it is much easier to create strawmen, destroy them and then use that to lampoon your fellow fans.
The reality is that there are a significant number of posters who want neither of your strawmen. We just want the Club to spend its revenues on the football side of the club and not pay for a quarter of a billion pounds in infrastructure that FSG ultimately own. We wanted FSG to plow some of the profit that they generated from the RedBird sale back into the clubs that generated that profit.
Surely it wasn't too much to expect the equity generated on Merseyside to be spent on Merseyside, especially when they leaked that part of the RedBird money would be used to cover COVID losses. Is it really too much to query why the club's revenues were ploughed into the redevelopment of the Main Stand, the new training ground, the Anfield Road development and the repurchasing of Melwood, at a time when the squad palpably needed fresh investment?
So please forget the strawmen and actually answer the points raised. Even better if you could do it without attacking your fellow fans and accusing them of not enjoying the ride under Jurgen. For me it isn't about not enjoying the ride under Jurgen it is about not wasting a golden once-in-a-lifetime with one of the greatest coaches ever.
Imagine looking back in time and looking at the abject failure to reinforce the defence in 20/21 or the midfield in 22/23. For me Jurgen is almost a cheat code, he adds 15-20% to whatever budget you give him because of his ability as a coach. what we desperately need is for Jurgen to be backed to the hilt, and for us to go to the limits of FFP as a club. Sadly to me at least FSG would rather just use the genius of Klopp to ease back on funding play it safe and watch the value of the club to keep rising.
