Not sure how you think we can spend much more money and not fall foul of FFP.
Latest accounts show the club lost nearly £20m in the year to end of May 2016.
I don't expect accounts to May 2017 to be that dramatically different.
Unless you just want owners like City and PSG who are going to circumvent FFP with dodgy sponsorship deals?

I think owners are allowed to invest in infrastructure such as stadium development, so could Fsg have paid for main stand rather than saddle club with debt?
Yeah I mean it's not as if FSG invested any money in your club during there time owning your club 😂
If there are loopholes which other clubs have taken advantage of then we should not cry wolf and join them. We will never be the money making machine that United are.
As I always suspected then.
You just want LFC to be a billionaires plaything to satisfy your own weird desire to be associated with a winning club.
You don't really understand the club, care about its history, or it's future.
They were willing to pay big for vvd and resisted big money from Barca tbh.
Don’t think you’ve got bad owners at all

This don't understanding the club and history nonsense went out of the window when we sold ourselves to Hicks and Gillett.
Money has done Chelsea and City no harm. Also what the City owners have done for the city of Manchester puts your backward argument to shame.

They are not bad owners and did great to listen to the manager not to sell Coutinho for another 12 months.
Think your owners would’ve splashed the cash more if your manager wasn’t stupidly fixated on VVD all summer.
This sort of story crops up once a year with little to no substance to it. I wouldn't get your hopes up Kash.

Good. I'm not an FSG hater, I'm grateful they saved us from the brink. I just don't think they have enough knowledge of football and the people they have signed at the top e.g. transfer committee guys are awful.

If they follow the City and PSG model then yes. Providing we do our due diligence then we have nothing to worry about.
Still like I said earlier we hear this every year and nothing materialises. FSG remind me of one my cousins who every year put there house on the market for 2 weeks to see what kind of interest and value they can get before taking it off the market.

The City and PSG model was nothing more than throw money at the problems until you eventually get success. That's not good football knowledge.
As others have mentioned we have this story every year, last year it was supposed to be a cash injection from Arabs for a chunk of the club that never materialised. Stavely watched a football match and suddenly now the press are making up takeover stuff, what a surprise.
Actually agree about taking loopholes to be competive financially. Currently we are about 5th/6th best in the country in terms of competing financiallly which many of our fans use to justify our regular league finishes in those positions too. We aren’t close to United commercially and have fallen behind Chelsea/City through deals they have made. Even Arsenal are a way ahead with their new stadium and years of CL qualification, even though Wenger has chosen not to use it.
I guess the question our fans need to ask themselves is would they rather it remain that way while retaining dignity or doing what it takes to level the playing field a bit more.
Personally I’m in the latter category, any shame was lost in football years ago and some of our fans choose to live in the past a bit too much. It’s fair enough in some ways but to start winning stuff again we have to get use to modern football.
I have no problem with FSG, never have. Think they have done mainly good things for the club. Then again it’s now been 7 years since their takeover and in that time we have won one league cup, whilst not significantly improving in terms of league performance.
I’m sure in that time period they would have hoped for a lot more progress. At the end of the day they are businessmen and £1bn would represent an absolutely massive profit on what they paid. I can see it happening at some point if not this year and would not be particularly dissapointed if we got some new owners with best interest at heart.

No idea what is happening in Paris but in Manchester that is nothing near the truth. Yes spent a lot of money on players but also spent money on local infrastructure and youth projects in addition to the City academy which is the best in the world. This is how modern days clubs evolve.
I don't understand why you are a Liverpool fan Kash.
The history of the club is the essence of the club.
It's the club of Shankly, the workers, socialists. The club that makes legends, it doesn't just buy them.
I don't understand why any Liverpool fan would want to throw that out of the window just so they can win. It's not an achievement to buy all the best players and win.
That's the same mentality that thinks Donald Trump is a good businessman..
Donald, here is a load of money, build a load of monstrous buildings 'wow you are such a good businessman!'.
Juergen Klopp understands Liverpool. That's the only reason he is our manager. If he wanted to manage a billionaire plaything club he would have done it already.

Surely the best academy in the world is the one that produces players. Not has he shiniest facilities.

As I said before that went out of the window when John Moores and Rick Parry sold the club to US businessmen.
I would love to go back to how it was in the past but the only way you are going to get that is via doc Brown time machine.

If they follow the City and PSG model then yes. Providing we do our due diligence then we have nothing to worry about.
Still like I said earlier we hear this every year and nothing materialises. FSG remind me of one my cousins who every year put there house on the market for 2 weeks to see what kind of interest and value they can get before taking it off the market.

The City and PSG model was nothing more than throw money at the problems until you eventually get success. That's not good football knowledge.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No idea what is happening in Paris but in Manchester that is nothing near the truth. Yes spent a lot of money on players but also spent money on local infrastructure and youth projects in addition to the City academy which is the best in the world. This is how modern days clubs evolve.

Surely the best academy in the world is the one that produces players. Not has he shiniest facilities.

Good. I'm not an FSG hater, I'm grateful they saved us from the brink. I just don't think they have enough knowledge of football and the people they have signed at the top e.g. transfer committee guys are awful.

And an Arabic led consortium would?

You mean exactly like what FSG are doing?

I don't understand why you are a Liverpool fan Kash.
The history of the club is the essence of the club.
It's the club of Shankly, the workers, socialists. The club that makes legends, it doesn't just buy them.
I don't understand why any Liverpool fan would want to throw that out of the window just so they can win. It's not an achievement to buy all the best players and win.
That's the same mentality that thinks Donald Trump is a good businessman..
Donald, here is a load of money, build a load of monstrous buildings 'wow you are such a good businessman!'.
Juergen Klopp understands Liverpool. That's the only reason he is our manager. If he wanted to manage a billionaire plaything club he would have done it already.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As I said before that went out of the window when John Moores and Rick Parry sold the club to US businessmen.
I would love to go back to how it was in the past but the only way you are going to get that is via doc Brown time machine.
Football has moved on rapidly and its all about money.
