The Three Amigos

[RedMagic]

We already pay our best players 'top' money. We have one of the highest wage bills in football.

We pay a few of our players the kind of money they deserve (Salah is 'only' on £50k p/w more than Marcus Trashford) given their importance to us. One of the reasons a few of our best players haven't yet signed new contracts is almost certainly down to our owners being incredibly reluctant to pay them the money they want and deserve for the length of contract they want and deserve.

Diaz is on £90k p/w, Konate is on £71k p/w, Jones is on £67k p/w, Elliot is on £46k p/w, whilst Kelleher is only on £32k p/w. In terms of players earning £100k or more, we have twelve, Tottenham also have twelve, Man Utd sixteen, Arsenal seventeen, Man City seventeen, and Chelsea eighteen. We legitimately earn more than everybody on that list bar the two Manchester clubs, and we all know how legitimate Man City's revenue streams are.

We have had over at least the last decade, a mid table net spend. Year after year we've needed quality additions, especially in certain areas such as the DM position and another quality CB etc. The only time we've seemingly gone out and got the exact kind and quality of players we've needed was when we sold our arguably best player at the time for a lot more than he was actually worth.

We need to pay our top players top money, as well as being prepared to spend big when it comes to buying new players. Those two things aren't mutually exclusive. In fact they are often intrinsically linked to each other.

Let's spend and overpay like Utd because look how well they've done with that policy.

Where do we get this lot?

And Victor has hit a brick wall. Unless it boils down to F$G OUT, he's stuck.

Interesting..

FSG's Liverpool 'side hustle' has made them $5.37bn RICHER'

FSG's 'side hustle'
Liverpool are not the 'distraction' - they're very much the crown jewel in FSG's financial portfolio. Per Forbes, the Reds are quite comfortably their most valuable asset.

They value Liverpool at around $5.27bn, with the Red Sox trail behind on $4.5bn.

The closed shop of American sports, where relegation doesn't happen and failure has a glass floor, helps dramatically boost their valuations. Essentially, FSG can run the Red Sox into the ground and still see them valued at billions, as happens with other American sports teams.

Liverpool don't have that 'luxury' and Forbes believes they're the 4th most valuable football club. Of course, that valuation will absolutely skyrocket if a closed Super League ever comes to fruition (and that's why there's such a push for it if it wasn't clear).

So no, FSG are not considering Liverpool to be a side hustle. In fact, they'll view the Reds as their biggest asset and potentially one that dwarfs anything else they could possibly get their hands on.

Though, they would need to help ruin the entire structure of European football for that to happen.

With this in mind I'm sure we can all relax and feel confident that all Three Amigos will be signed up and those much needed additions added this January too..

Of course there isn't a single quote in that useless article.

In other news, businessmen make money.

Anyone seen The Shill! Part Deux?

Dreadful casting and some of the acting is truly dire but sometimes there’s nothing else on. 😜
