Maybe the cult and their demands to be involved in owning and running part of the club has scared buyers off? Who in their right mind would buy a club with a support like Liverpool’?

To be fair, my husband is a Liverpool supporter and the ones I have spoken to at Anfield and in pubs have been truly lovely people. Granted, you get a LOT that are dickheads but you get that in every club, don't you? Liverpool has a worldwide fan base just like United and that's going to appeal to any owner, really. Whether you like them or not, they're a massive cash cow.

They are lovely people when they speak amongst themselves, otherwise they are true cunts one and all.

They might be individually, but as a group (cult) they’re an absolute nightmare.
 
Not for sale again apparently.

Wonder if that'll change should a pissed off oil state begining with Q comes knocking as I seems UMS could be pulling the plug on any movement at the swamp.

Be prepared for dolphin twister, it's the same game as rag twister but if it's not in writing nobody knows it's happening.

They're a massive set of cunts, that's what they are
 
A tactic, as opposed to a clever business move.

Let's hope FSG didn't hack any info relating to what City did.

The Cult on RAWK aren't happy.

You are implying in the first sentence that we were already competitive before they arrived. Then in the final sentence arguing the opposite by implying that the increase in revenues is solely down to Klopp's incredible on-field performances. How can Klopp's on field performances result in such an increase of revenues when we were already competitive beforehand? Either Klopp has pulled us out of the doldrums or he's not done much better than Ged and Rafa.

They have not loaded us up with hundreds of millions of debt. We have a 200m revolving credit facility from 2020-25 that is clearly being used to finance operations of the club. This is how even the most prudent debt-eschewing corporates operate because of the fundamental mismatch in timing between receipt and payment schedules. The balance on this loan at the last accounts was 128m which is around a quarter of our turnover, we also held around 31m in cash. The intercompany loan of 71.4m is non-interest bearing and is basically a temporary equity infusion.

There is a fundamental difference between using interest bearing loans to meet short term liabilities as they fall due, such as an instalment on a player transfer and using debt to finance player acquisitions. The former is like buying groceries on your credit card that you repay at the next paycheque and the latter is akin to taking out margin loans on stock purchases.

If I take what you say at face value, that FSG have loaded us up with debt. Then this means our outflows have so far exceeded the inflows on the order of hundreds of millions. If they're not taking money out of the club, then all of the outflows have been related to LFC activities. Then you have to believe that the club in the last 5 years has operated far beyond its means. How then can you complain that they've underspent on player transfers.

The truth is FSG are boring risk averse owners, they won't overextend the club to compete financially with clubs like City who are essentially unconstrained. Their dream operating model was essentially to buy undervalued and sell overvalued players. Post-Coutinho this has proven much more difficult. I think you can criticise them for where they draw the line on risk, for instance we seem to wait for a player to be available to address a need rather than addressing the need with who is available

Liverpool fans were baited by a clickbait title. FSG never had any intention to sell, they said they were looking for investors and everyone took it as full sale.
 
They really are a massive stain on the game those classless wankers. I wanted Real to smash them beforehand in this game and boy I can't stand them as well, but even more so now I've heard about this pathetic fireworks trick they've resorted to
 
The FSG does spend money Nunez, Gakpo, Diaz that is over £200 million alone in transfer fees. They were also ready to fork out £70 million for Tchoumeni who rejected them for Madrid.

The scouse love to play the victim that the whole world against them and their owners never spend any money. They ditched their sell to buy model ages ago, proof they gave Salah 300k+ in wages and they have the 4th highest wages in the league.
 
Has any tier 1 journalist confirmed that Bellingham is a main target for City ? Because it seems that every Liverpool ex player is harassing him to move to the club.

According to that report they were "mischievous ". Anyone else and it would been described as shocking behaviour. Anyway, disturbing the peace is a crime.
