owners with a long term plan will struggle to please fans with a short term attention span

we're headed in a very positive and sound direction

At the moment you are headed towards mid table at best the Championship at worse.At least BR has experience in the Championship

It seems shortlight would rather have a 'marquee' signing than a well run club.

Bola.

Yes, I'd love a marquee signing. Are you seriously saying you wouldn't?

Redconn.

'short-term attention span!!' - It's been two years, mate, and they're still, like bad politicians, blaming their predecessors.

You can look back at what I remarked a few months ago on your owner and manager.So far everything I've said regarding them cannot be denied.FSG have realised that they'd need to spend far more money to compete for champions league football than they'd get if they qualified for it.So plan B came into place,shrink the wage bill and first team playing squad and at every given opportunity get the manager the emphasise that they are building for the future.

FSG has managed to raise supporters hopes whilst at the same time diminishing your squad size,experience and certainly quality in the top third.

I must commend them on doing such a great job.Bring in a easy to manipulate manager,who is both media friendly and is great at giving soundbites out to the press at the drop of a hat.

No Shortlight i wouldn't, a marquee signing is, and always will be a silly way to buy players.
In my opinion it's a quick way to please all the 'plastic' fans.
I'd rather see my club have players that are happy to play for the club and aren't coming in for the mega wages.
Also you say we are run on a championship budget?
Allen £15
Borini £10m
Assaidi £3m
Sahin £4m
Yesil £1m

I make that £33m approx. plus i haven't included agent fees, signing on fees and the likes.

Now sales;
Kuyt £1m
Aquilani 500k
Bellamy free
Maxi Free
Carroll £2m
Adam £4m
That's only £7.5m in sales.
Nowhere near a championship budget so your silly statements aimed at FSG are quite simply the ramblings of a fool

Liverpool have never been known to spend so much on players. They buy ok players and turn them class.

Bola.

You're a total utter deluded mug who's making it up as he goes along.
Apart from Allen, all the signings are mid-table.
As for the figures you quote on sales: total bollox. Maxi was a free transfer - his fee was undisclosed and Aqua's fee was £7m.
Mug.

Sahin mid-table? Now who's deluded.
Maxi was a free, Newells president even said he was waiting for to sort out the contract with Liverpool.

We may of received a decent fee for Aquilani but we had to give him most of it for wages and other things

Sahin's a loan signing. He also actively wanted to sign for Arsenal.

Your point being?
He may have wanted to sign for Arsenal but FSG paid more but hey, don't let facts ruin your agenda
