Yes FSG have done some good things. But they are not perfect, and pretending otherwise is in my opinion going to end up in a nasty shock for quite a few as and when Klopp leaves.
The league may have changed, but we are still one of the world's biggest clubs and England's most successful club. We should be looking to win the big prizes no matter how much the league has changed.
I mean,.......surely those can't be the only two options (that either they're "perfect", which no one claimed nor pretended they are, or that they are complete shite and should fuck off).
Also, acting like or claiming that they're doing things on the cheap or don't want to spend is a little rich considering the fact that we have the world's most expensive (and best) defender in our squad, the world's second most expensive (and BEST) goalkeeper in our squad and the world's 4th highest paid player overall (in Mo, and only paid less than Messi, Ronaldo and Mbappe).
Does that sound to you like a club that's doing things on the cheap?
Are they profiting from the club? Of course they are, and I would expect no less or any different.
They're businessmen and very good ones at that, and fact of the matter is (whether you or anyone else want to admit it or not) WE have also benefitted from them and their good business acumen - to the tune of an Anfield massive expansion and refurbishment project, a new state-of-the-art Training facility for both the senior team and the Academy.
Oh, and a couple of little other things known as Number 6 and Number 19 (after 30 long years).
I really don't get this notion of trying to paint them as the bad guys, when all it looks like is them trying to do right by us as much as they could.
Without them Klopp wouldn't be here. Klopp didn't hire himself.
And they've supported him to the hilt with everything he's needed on and off the field.
Perhaps some questions can be asked about transfer market decisions - especially in recent times - and while doing that we should also be honest enough to ask how much of Klopp's own stubbornness played a role in that too.
But I mean, please,...
Some reality and some perspective, guys.
