Reason No. 398,285 why it's not good to have your club owned by a Petro-Oligarch

[Taksin]

Confused he/she/it says..


Did I buy African children to then sell them for a profit?

Mate you are out on your own. I suggest therapy

No you didn’t but you have sought out profit for your own benefit. That was the comparison.

What you seem to be stuck on is, because FSG will have profited (when they sell), that implies what they did was not good. The same could be said of you - that’s the point.

Given that you yourself seek out profits for your work and don’t give it back if you receive more profit than you expected, as all of us do, it isn’t a very sophisticated criticism that you are making.

I.like most others have earned a salary. It's a concept that you seem unable to grasp. Giving my time and skills to earn what is deemed to be worth paying by a company in the pursuit of their business. They believe THEY have a need and are making more from me than they are paying. It's called a job. This is not the same as buying businesses like bankers and other wankers like FSG do. Speculating on what can be a huge upturn - especially when gifted it for a huge discount. This is a form of gambling and it's especially disgusting when it's with institutions like Liverpool FC. It's why the sale of the club to NESV should be investigated as it has the hallmarks of a crime...a fraud. US CEO of Barclays selling to the lowest and weakest bid from a US consortium to clear the debts of another US consortium.


Christian Purslow: Liverpool FC NESV deal was 'bottom of the barrel'
FORMER Liverpool FC managing director Christian Purslow described selling the club to New England Sports Ventures as a “bottom of the barrel” deal, it was revealed in court yesterday.

Purslow - a total CUNT BTW - but he wasn't wrong on that dodgy deal..

As owners... they have lowballed on everything from stadium to squad. And set to walk with a humongous profit...They would have still made a mint without him as the value of all Premier league clubs has sky rocketed - BUT thank the good lord for Klopp. Wanting out now as the Dollar looks doomed and when they know this is likely the peak value they can extract.

It is indeed a salary, something that hopefully increases as your performance and value to the company grows. Even though they are building an asset that has future value to them at the point of sale, built in part on your life's work, is still a good thing for society, you and your family. Without their capital and risk taking, in part motivated by profit, those goods would be absent.

A more similar revenue gain that you have likely seen is with your house value. It's hard to hold onto your utopian socialism when someone wants to give you four times what you paid for your house. And we don't usually blame people for accepting such outrageous bids.

Speculating on what can be a huge upturn - especially when gifted it for a huge discount. This is a form of gambling and it's especially disgusting when it's with institutions like Liverpool FC.

It's not gambling if they have a track record of taking underperforming teams and developing them into champions again, and doing so by improving all relevant income revenue streams, facilities and systems along the way.

By calling it gambling you are begging the question, although that is nothing new

It's a concept that you seem unable to grasp.

Why don't you keep these childish taunts for when they mean something? There's no evidence that I don't grasp the concept of a salary. It's histrionics on your part to talk this way.

I think we all know what you are best at grasping dear Taksin. 😉

I think we all know what you are best at grasping dear Taksin. ��

By accurately identifying, once again, the substance of your compliant?

You think that making a substantial profit on the sale of the club is enough to show that the owners are in the wrong.

Is that not true?

Nothing grasping there, whatever that means. I disagree, obviously. If you think about it for only a minute, it shows that not only all football club owners, but owners of any successful business are in the wrong. The fact that you get a bit of questioning about your overzealous assertions seems to send you into crisis mode.

"Nothing to see here"

[redebreck]

No one forced them to sell the club to FSG for that amount. No one is forcing anyone to buy it for any price. It’s worth what people pay.

The club was forced to sell/be sold because of the threat of administration.
The bankers may possibly have decided to sell to FSG because of them being American, and the amount being lower than other bids.

[Steveo]

More than just a possibility- this is exactly what happened.

Better bids ignored. Henry and co were always in bed with global banking and the media.

All the dirt on Saudi and UAE to flood out now as both turn their backs on the petrodollar BUT City are 20% US owned.

Not too stoooopid were they. Got themselves that insurance policy. Stopped the UEFA Charge going through and will likely afford them to keep their titles regardless of the ongoing investigation - which only came to light AFTER UAE applied to join BRICS..
