Unrelated to transfers (sort of)...
Does anyone wonder why Liverpool have never been the target of a purchase/takeover from Billionaire Russian or Sheikh?
You'd think that Liverpool as a club would have the history, the allure and the glamour that seems to be requisite for those purchases. Does it simply come down to location (i.e. insane money now behind Monaco, PSG)?
Was just thinking about it, and while FSG aren't poor, they certainly aren't the bottomless pits of cash that other teams have.
Sorry, just re-read this. Do you remember we were going to be purchased by DIC (Dubai Investment Company) however at the last minute Moores or was it Rick Parry went with Hicks and Gillet? They basically sucked all the money out of the club and gained way too much debt. I seem to remember we were even considering administration at some point.
Think we must keep this is mind when we think of FSG. Especially when we consider how much money our recent managers have blown on terribly overpriced signings (andy carroll). I think FSG are now starting to manage the club in a financially sensible way, once we have the new stadium up and less debt we should be able to spend more freely as we do make money.
