Hi ED's and Reds
Based on what I have been reading over the last couple of transfer windows, it seems that there is something VERY wrong with how Liverpool handle transfers (both incoming and outgoing) . This includes the main team plus to a certain extent the youth setup.
I know we are competing with clubs who are far more richer than us but that is not really an excuse for trying to do shady transfer dealings.
The image of the club has taken a battering, while this was common knowledge to the people working in the football business, with each passing day common fans like us are also coming to know about it and it is really disappointing.
Would you say that FSG are competent owners? On their watch Liverpool has gone from bad to worse in handling transfers. I know they provide enough money, but shouldn't they look more closely into what's happening, learn from how other clubs go about their business and clean up the club.
Are they short-sighted and just looking to increase club valuation so that they can maximize profit when they sell in one or two years. I have no problem with them selling and making as much money as possible, but it looks like they don't what to get their hands dirty and work on trying to make LFC an all round better club.
I am not trying to blame FSG but rather saying they are the only one's who can clean up this mess that has been piling for many years.
Thoughts?
{Ed001's Note - they tried to be good owners by not interfering, however they obviously did not realise how much of a mess the club was in. Hence why they have now made changes at the top and those changes should filter down and hopefully improve things. Only time will tell whether they have got it right.
We can be sure they got it wrong by buying the club and then stepping back to let it run itself. We can also see they probably waited too long to take action. Other than that, their only real mistake has been the ticket prices, but that was again down to the people they put in charge - mainly Ayres, who, as a self-proclaimed Liverpool fan, forgot that the fans are the club and put greed ahead of fans interests. His removal was the right move, but it should have come much earlier as he was completely and utterly out of his depth.}

Their biggest failure is not finding the right DOF at the top. I wouldn't blame them for not knowing anything about the game, But I would blame them not appointing the right personal to run the club. They have been relatively better than most of the other owners. A top clsss DOF would put everything in its order. If the head is proper the tail would behave accordingly. It's simple!
I don't think there is any club out there who has spend more money on players inspite of not being in CL for a long period. But this window reflects the need of a right DOF.

I think they have got a lot of the major decisions wrong from Kenny, to that clown of a DoF (what was his name? ), to Rodgers and his dossier and complete lack of top level experience and even the nonsense thinking Klopp could win the league without spending much money. It is all very amatuer and it has put is back years. It is of no surprise to me that this is our most unsuccesful period for a long long time under these owners. They have just not got many, if any of the footballing decisions right, if any and remember, we are football club after all.

Ed001, did Ayre leave on his own terms or was he sacked?
{Ed001's Note - he would never have left out of choice.}
