Cleaning up the Scots since the 13th century
Back to being serious.. we are fucked this summer theres no way FSG will give us the money we need. Not like they would have anyway .. But now we won't get top 4. they'll use that as an extra excuse.

Whats the kitty? And who goes to bolster it?
Back in the days when we used to qualify for the champions league the kitty used to be enough for one new first team player plus whatever we raised in sales. That seems to be FSG policy.
I suspect a lot of fans would secretly love us to spend summer spunking money like City but realistically we need to admit our recruitment stagnated for years and suck up the consequences - which means it could take as many years for us to rebuild and get back there again.
Rome wasn't rebuilt in a day. We may not bounce back next season. We need to play the long game, get rid of the dead wood (as ever), and some of the oldies and replace them with young (24 ish) homegrown players and develop them into a team again. And enjoy the ride.
It is because he has had a poor performance this season, and part of that has revealed that his plan for evolution of the team was flawed and we've spent a lot of money buying players to try and play that way Thiago, Nunez and Diaz, that's 160m and only Diaz has hit th ground running but needs to add more goals
Players can be absolutely brilliant for us, for several seasons running and the moment their contributions drop a little, even if there are considerable mitigating circumstances, everyone here has the knife our for them and refuses to accept those circumstances
I just want Jurgen to forget his pipe dream and Thiago fantasy and get back to doing what he's successful at and the only way of playing he has been successful at, the manager needs to be accountable when he gets it wrong and him getting it wrong is why a lot of the players everyone's been merrily giving loads of shit have been so below their previous levels
In many respects, what Jurgen attempted this season was like starting all over again with a new manager in an entirely different system and style of play, throwing all the built up over time understanding and positioning off each other and support of each other out with the baby and the bath water, it was absolutely fucking barmy, producing a litany of 'things not to do as a football manager' that are enshrined as such through the ages of time

I think FSG would have stumped up for Bellingham had Jurgen not ballsed up our season and left us almost certainly without Champions League football
I think when Ward fucked up the Tchouameni deal, Klopp decided to wait for this summer for a mid and the one he wanted, Bellingham, but then he took us well out of the top four reckoning, so obviously the money just isn't there now, with likely lesser revenue from sponsors also as a result of no Champions League as most sponsorship deals do have clauses of amount paid for participation in such competitions, if you look at the revenue announced from last season's Champions League run, we're likely taking a 150m financial hit as a result of this season's poor performance levels and management of the players at Klopp's disposal, so there goes any deal for Bellingham
