    Immense pressure for the start of the season now then, with so many expecting him to fail, and i'd wager a few wanting him too, the first sign of problems and it could be a very sour season.

    Really hope we get everything right this time, and if we don't, i hope to **** Klopp hasn't been convinced to take up somewhere else!

      As you have said before, it's all bull****. And smoke and mirrors to the outside world.

      There's a few people I know on here who work in the same industry as me, and I'd be surprised if any of them disagree with my second paragraph regarding how things are done behind the scenes.

      It's egotistical, shambolic bull**** across the board.
      All companies have bull**** behind the scenes but the football industry is a prime example of where the money involved vastly outweighs the competence of the 'business' people who actually run the operation (excluding owners)

      I think you and I work in a similar industry, and there's no way someone like Aidy Ward would ever be anywhere near a position where he could influence anything at all.

        When we were sold for circa £220 mil in 2010, there were only two parties in the frame: FSG; and Peter Lim. Where were the people with $1.5 bil to spend back then?
        The deal was for £300m. The club is worth a significant amount more than that now. Although a billion pounds ($1.5bn) might be over egging it.

          Aye, they're less fun to watch than barca tho but I know what you're saying.

            That's a bit tasteless.

              If we fail next season, then FSG in addition to Brendan will face the fan abuse. Not that they care or anything.

              Big big decision on their part. If we do not do well next season, then it will be all on FSG. They have the opportunity, the right managers available in the market, and they decided to stick with status quo.

                I've lost quite a bit of faith in Brendan but all season I reckoned **** recruitment was at the root of most of our troubles. The games after Utd made me think he was clutching at straws with the formation but I still think if he and the committee get the signings right we could be back on a good run.

                I don't have any faith we can land the quality of players we need, or even that we'll target them, but I'm still clinging onto continuity as being the hallmark of successful management regimes.

                10 games in when Big Chris (you trademarking that Shaggy? ) hasn't had a sniff and Lecter is raging against the Swansea 4-3-3, I reserve the right to start baying for Kopp.

                  If I remember rightly, It was circa £220 mil in cash and the rest in assumed debt, hence the buyer only had to hand over circa £220 mil.

                  The point I'm making is that there were few parties in the frame when we were a lot less valuable, so the talk of being "fattened up" for a sale at significantly increased price is hard to believe.

                    The circumstances of the last sale were a bit weird though, to say the least. An internal coup days before a default.

                      That was just to get Hicks & Gillett out of the way so they couldn't block a sale agreed by the other board members.

                        Has Spearing gotten a bit taller? Looks that way.
                        I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

                          Indeed, but the situation would probably have put a dampener on potential interest.

                            And in 10 minutes, that little fella on the left covered more ground than Mario did all season.

                              Because the state of the books then was awful that is why FSG moved in they knew how to turn around finances thats what they do, now that we are profitable it will attract different investors. i.e. PSG etc

                                Right the decision has been made and he's staying so time to get behind the club and manager. He should go IMO but he'll get my support now it's decided he's staying.
