klopp has just said on radio Merseyside its not his desision weather coutinho is sold so the owners are going over the managers head because klopp has said coutinho is priceless and going nowhere. great debut by Robertson. am still a nervous wreck watching them at the moment specially every free kick an corner.

{Ed002's Note - It is nothing whatsoever to do with the owners.}

So Ed002's is it your opinion that the sale of players is solely down to JK then, because I have read JK saying that the owners have made their decision and he goes along with them, and if JK has just said on Radio that it is NOT his decision then according to you he's telling lies then.

{Ed002's Note - No, the club makes the decision about which players to buy and sell with input from Klopp. The owners are not football people, they are investors and therefore they do not handle the decisions for who to buy and sell. They are not based in this country, rarely even visit the country and have no direct involvement of the day-to-day running of the club. I remain constantly surprised how little many of the Liverpool fans know about how their club is run.}

What do you think about that approach ed002? Is it a good idea for the owners to be involved so little? I felt like they would gradually work their way into more involvement as they learned more about the game. It is an interesting approach, one that has had its ups and downs.

{Ed002's Note - It is typical of many football clubs - would you want accountants deciding which players Liverpool should buy. The did not buy Liverpool in order to find out more about football.}

So the club as in Klopp and? if the owners have no say.

{Ed002's Note - And the transfer committee. FSG, the owners, are simply an America investment company - nothing else.}

Ed not just the fans but a lot of media and pundits (quite a lot of them ex pros) must not know how the club is run as they have questioned Fsg's spending and transfer policy recently and in the past as well.

{Ed002's Note - So? Is this experts like Phil Thompson who knows so little about the game that he thinks Atletico can buy Diego Costa and loan him to Liverpool? And it is the football club's spending not FSGs. When Liverpool buy a player the money comes from Liverpool Football Club - not from an investment company in America.

Dumb as a box of rocks.}

This might help.

Our owners know nothing about football.
This has been a fundamental problem for them and the club because they have no understanding of what is being described to them by the middle men they have employed since. The lag between results and actions has killed us.
They are though in good company because most of our supporters know nothing about football or running a football club either.

Which goes to show that you can watch something for decades and learn nothing except that you like winning, don't like losing and drawing is somewhere in between.

So finally Ed002's who is on the transfer committee that would help or have a say in the transfers of players.

{Ed002's Note - Klipperty Klopp, Mike Gordon, Barry Hunter, Dave Fallows and Michael Edwards.}

{Ed002's Note - Why are you sending in the same post more than once - are you looking to waste everyone's time?

I think you will find as with any investment company before they go through any funding of future investment whether it be a football club or chain of supermarkets they will look at money in and money out and then decide if further funding is required FSG are not just an investment company that splashed the cash and sit there waiting to see if it was worth investing of course they decide ultimately if LFC need the money from the Coutinho sale add the end of the day some one has to pay for the new stand.

{Ed002's Note - I have really no idea what point you are trying to make.}

Did Rodgers not go over to America to meet the owners? Or did the club hire him? Just curious.

{Ed002's Note - Your point being what?}

19 Aug 2017 19:17:20
Thanks Ed002's are we to assume that if the majority of that committee decide that a player goes, then he goes, even if JK is against that decision.

{Ed002's Note - We have done all of this to death in the past.}

sorry for asking this ed-- but do m. city--m. united--chelsea- have football commitees? . becuase its seems to me if they want a player they just go an get them. cheers.

{Ed002's Note - Manchester City has Txiki Begiristain as a Director of Football, Chelsea has Michael Emanalo and Manchester United have failed in their attepts to sign two different Directors of Football. They operate a different approach. They don't simply "just go out and get them" when recruiting players.}

Apologies have no idea why it sent twice. These pundits are getting paid a healthy wage then to comment on stuff they apparently know nothing about. Cheers for the dumb as a box of frogs comment. I'll take that 👍.

Ed02, I know what your saying, the owners are the guys who bought the club etc, and they hire the people they think best to run the club, and it will be these guys who with input from the manager decide on sales and purchases, they still released a statement last Friday week that coutinho would not be sold for any price, and would be here when the window shuts, I think this causes confusion as you say they don't be involved in the day to day matters.

{Ed002's Note - They are not involved in the day-to-day running of the club.}

FSG DON'T SIGN PLAYERS NOR DECIDE WHO WE SIGN OR SELL. Clear enough for ya? SHEESH!

The point being Ed002 is that you say that the owners sit in the states and apart from checking Forbes to see how much the club is worth, don't have any say in how the club is run, but to my knowledge they had an input in hiring managers which, in my opinion is quite a big input into any club.

{Ed002's Note - This is just a nonsense and you are making yourself look stupid. Where did I say "that the owners sit in the states and apart from checking Forbes to see how much the club is worth, don't have any say in how the club is run"? I didn't, you are simply embarrassing yourself.

The thread was regarding players.

And how many games a year do the owners attend?}

Pundits and Klopp have no idea what they are talking about when they say it's the owners. As Bingored said in CAPITALS. They have nothing to do with transfers. They just tweet about them.
