FSG decided to take the money instead of investing is perhaps more correct .
Klopp probably had little say in the decision .
It's rumoured that bingo agreed to not mention the 'M' word in public (the 'oney word in this instance) in exchange for an all expenses paid, close season trip to Turkey for laser eye treatment and a new set of knashers..
£89.95 all in out of the dippers transfer budget of £200 million.
This worked well for their owners FSG as they could then syphon off, steal, repatriate, I mean put the remaining £199,999,910.05 into their, money laundering, Standard Chartered, instant access bank account to save for a rainy day.
I know this to be true(ish) as a mate of a mate's next door neighbour's uncle knows the window cleaner that used to clean bingo's glasses for him and he had told him that he'd been sacked as bingo had said he wasn't needed anymore as he now had 18/17 vision..
Not quite 20/20 vision as he still has trouble seeing an Egyptian chap constantly falling over in every opposition's box he turns out against..
But then again, good enough to see what City are up to from 35 miles away down the East Lancs road.
For the record, bingo's trip receipts..
Ryan Air return, John Lennon Airport to Istanbul £29.95
Laser eye treatment per eyeball £6.00
Scaffolding, generator hire and removal of one crooked set of what's known in the dentistry trade as a 'set of snooker ball teeth', 8 yellow, 7 green, 5 brown, 6 black and 0 white.
(He didn't own a full set of 32 at the time)
Supply and fit of 2 full sets of pre owned, Bobby Firmino seconds..
Note, bingo's mouth was deemed big enough to take 2 full sets of teeth so the hacksaw and lump hammer costs were not incurred.
Labour to fit, 5 days..
Total cost for the supply and fit of 2 new sets of railings.. £43.05*
Kebab, hot chili sauce, salad and chips at the airport £4.95
* 5p carrier bag charge for the removal of original tombstones from dentist premises..
It's such a shame that bingo hasn't got a tad more self confidence, removed his club shop cap and gurned a bit more so we could all marvel at his new mince pies and choppers..!
