    So FSG now own the Pittsburgh Penguins too. I wonder how, if at all, that will impact us. I know there were worries before about money being syphoned off us to invest in the Red Sox. Penguins have top fan base online but only 13th in value for the league... Obviously that means, there is a lot of growth that can occur with investment.

    I just hope it doesn't come at our expense. FSG has been good for us, but I don't know that I like being part of a conglomerate.

    FSG also looking for another football team in Europe. Not sure if that good end up being a feeder for us, or a place we can send loanees to develop. Not sure even about rules of transfers of players between teams owned by the same owner... Are there restrictions?

    We were never getting a penny out of red bird capital. That was always their share in their organisation that just happens to own us.

    The only benefit we will see is maybe loans to malaga if they buy them or at least a place to warehouse talent that might be good enough to sell to us for a reasonable fee.

    We get nothing at all out of fsg. They have done nothing bar right the apple cart and give us one loan. The club has actually paid for kirkby and will pay the entirety of anfield road end.

    Nothings going to change there. We spend what lfc earn directly and fsg take in global funds due to getting a massive piggy back ride from us.

    Before lfc NESN were a small regional player in the usa. They have grown massively out of us. We are a paper power club with a fake valuation that looks great but it's a house of cards based off klopp.

    People still think that the clubs legs are going to open and provide an orgy of transfers for them. Fsg are tighter than a nuns knickers.

    We wont buy anyone expensive unless we can sell in someone. Theres about 40mil of revenue in lfc books klopp can play with and that goes on agents ffs.

    Honestly, them not giving us money worries me much less than the thought of them taking money from our club to prop up, or invest a couple of American franchises. As long as the money we generate stays in the club, that's great.

    We're still by far the biggest asset FSG owns. We're valued over three billion US$, Penguins only $650mill. Can't remember what it said the Sox were... I think around a billion.

    They dont need to. They've set up a great little ponzy scheme. They can sell off sections of the holding company to get paid.

    Not as good as the glaziers scheme but more than enough to cream it.

    We are not worth 3billion and never will be. It's a paper exercise not a real value thsts achievable.

    Red six are quoted at 3.18 billion.

    We are quoted at 4billion.

    If you do the maths on 10% of red bird at 537mil it says the value doesn't add up

    The best way to maintain our value is to win stuff - I'm sure they're smart enough to realise that.

    That's almost communist talk.

    True capitalists know values increase through smooth talking and fakery.

    Especially on a chocolate biscuit - that's not right at all.
