Pick your owners

[JockStrap]

Given the constant talk of FSG not being good enough let's have a discussion on alternatives. You get to choose any other owners in the Premier League to replace them. Who are you picking and why?

18 options seems to be the maximum in a poll so I've dropped Burnley and Wolves. If any of you want their owners it's

Burlney - Alan Pace - US
Wolves - Fosun International - Chiina

Where multiple owners are listed for a club I've picked the owner with the highest share holding.

Not just about them though

Pick your transfer & scouting team

Pick your youth setup & prospects

Much much more to everything, but all comes from the top.

Pick your set piece coach.. (lol)

if the club was run well lately, we wouldn't have gone from 1st to 6th with issues that are obvious.

[JockStrap]

Come on Kev, press that FSG option. You know you want to

[JockStrap]

Don't be shy people. All of you calling for F$G Out now have a chance to tell us who you would prefer.

[JockStrap]

More whining about the owners in another thread but no credible alternative put forward.

It's right to assume that FSG are indeed the best owners we could have at this time.

Klopps vision of how a football club should be run, matches up well with FSGs.

I think they are reasonably good owners.

Since taking over they've nearly won 5 or 6 PL titles. Won 1 under Klopp. Won1 under Slot.

(All title lost to 115 Citaue protected by Islamophiles)

Could have won 1 under Rodgers.
Could have won 3 more under Klopp 18/19, 21/22 & 23/24.

Who knows what benefit that might have brought to Klopp in Europe.

Klopp won 1 CL title.
Probably too much of a gap between the squads, when Ramos concussed Karius and took out Salahs shoulder.
But in 21/22 the sides were more evenly balanced.

If we accept Cituae 115 are the lance Armstrong of football, it is arguably the case that Klopps 18/19 to 19/20 are the best team in PL era.

That aside, the club has had decent success under their tutelage, and the capacity at Anfield has surpassed 60k. Facilities improved and annual revenue up significantly.

You can put it all down to Klopp, but Klopp chose LFC under FSGs tutelage as their vision of football aligns with his own.

If UK fans ever want the German model of fan football, then those fans who fork up the capital to buy a 50% share of the club, do not want to be forking out 100s of pounds a year on transfers and spending.

Similarly, if fans want to control ticket prices, they cannot want massive spending.
As although I've argued matchday tickets should be decoupled from wider inflation in football like tv revenue inflation, ticket prices increasing will always need to linked to some of the massive spends in PL football.

Overall decent owners, with a good structure in place for the clubs finances.

I'll pick FSG,
though I have presented a means of assessing football spending and have been impressed with Villa under Emery & Brighton for example.

Albeit I've no idea if these are yank or Chinese or Saudi owners etc.

I see Brighton are English owned - I like that

And I see Villa are Egypt/US owned.

It's a pity the poll ain't public. I voted FSG, guess Jocky did too, and I wonder did Kev0 pick Everton

[JockStrap]

I did check the option to make it public but it didn't work for some reason.

If we accept Cituae 115 are the lance Armstrong of football, it is arguably the case that Klopps 18/19 to 19/20 are the best team in PL era.

Yea. It always felt that ill-informed fans were looking at the wrong people to apportion blame. Constant moaning about FSG not supporting Klopp enough. The reality is the only thing that stopped Klopp from winning more titles was City cheating.

Can't underestimate the G.Nev take on spending influence. Braindead.

Emery Villa 22/23 to 23/34
€125.09 mill net spent & 151 cent gained per euro.

Rodgers 12/13 to Post-Summer of 15/16
€173.86 mill net spent & 2.4 cent gained per euro.

Thats some analysis I provided. Those were the extreme ends, including others.

To put it in a simple context, to add €100 million net in players from net spending, you'd need to give:

Emery €66.2 Million
&
Rodgers €4.167 Billion
