that just shows since the players are now on high wages the performance element is less

We’ve also signed some high profile players - szobo, Mac, Gravenberch and Endo. The first 3 will be attracting big wages. Also had lots of new contracts for players.
Also has new short term DOF. Also have all the coaches and backroom staff that went with Klopp and probably got a pay off to go.
Also, talking about how contracts were heavily incentivised in 17/18 means **** all now. We have no idea if that is still the case. Given Salah vvd on 350/200k it would suggest that it isn’t the case anymore and we’ve had to pay out bigger numbers.
Don’t forget historically we’ve also always included all the support staff at the club, office staff etc in our wages compared to some clubs like city. Rise in minimum wage, inflation over last few years has gone up and those wages have probably increased as well

I think accusing the financial department of the club of massive fraud based on comparison of a couple of headline figures is a bit over the top.
2023/24 was
A) a cup win.
B) a 3rd place finish (so bonuses for reaching cl alone)
C) a year where matip and thiago had.not left.
People seem to forget that player who left on a free still get paid up to 30th June 2024 and the accounts published relate to thst period.
I do not think people can make a relatively small increase in wages into a black hole
Liverpool considering to sign Liam Delap from Ipswich.

"clearly siphoning money and covering up the whole thing! "
Not covering it up very well then.
It's like the guy hasn't even looked at any sources.
It took me no time at all to look up a site telling me the squad base salary only is 143mil.
So zero coaches (klopp 20mil before eany of his direct staff thatt left)
Zero academy
Zero stadium staff, Zero min wages whatever ok. Grand.
But Zero bonuses applied also.
So do people think genuinely that someone in fsg is being paid 150mil or so out of lfc salaries and wages.
Or do people actually think that the 1700 have no wages or national insurance etc etc etc.
Some of the conspiracy stuff about fsg is nuts.
Just buy them a 50mil player every window and never.mind of they fit or are needed to stop the rumours eh?
Of course they are. They have slowly but surely delivered every actual promise made in their way not what a fan might think is the best way.
We are now in year 15.
61k stadium delivered. Just many delays and excuses and whatever that never played the demanding fan.(why isn't it 80k, why not deliver it 10 years ago etc etc)
Have won every cup possible. Why have we not won more. Bloody penny pitchers etc etc 1 league in 15. Shocking. 1 cl and more finals, terrible. World club cup and super cup. Who cares. Fa cup. Who cares? 3 lesgue cups nobody cares about that dead comp.
Increased club commercial revenues by 10x. Who's robbing our money is the cry. Why are ticket prices so high etc.
Oh and where is my shiny new player or 4?
They have done the unforgivable. Acted like Americans talking about elite sport and closed leagues with Europe's elite.
They are not the best, they are not the worst. People need to realise that they could have people who really don't care or people who are wasteful or people who will run the place into the ground in debt.
Lfc is run like a business not like a show pony to excite fans enough.
It's not about silverware are all costs as nobody can compete with oil states. It's about running sustainably and making them coin on the side through global reach.
It's the same mentality as conspiracy theorists: "I don't understand this so it must be a lie".
You see, this is my problem (well, some would say, one of many of my problems) - H&G were the byword for utter, venal greed and corruption, then along came FSG and 'saved' us, so they can do no wrong. It's like Sleeping Beauty being rescued by the prince, and just a few years later he goes on to neglect her and filch all her money and give it to his many mistresses, but she consoles herself that he's not as bad as Maleficent. It's ****ing Stockholm Syndrome I tell you.
"Considering"? "Monitoring"? "Tracking"? Yeah, we'll probably raid that "war chest" "next summer", I don't doubt.
Would be a lot better at that role than Nunez, let's be honest. But we have to stick with Darwin now until the end of the season and get behind him.
Jesus HC. What a complete over-reaction.
lose Klopp: FSG out
Hire Slot: FSG out
Little summer spend: FSG out
LFC top of and in every comp: FSG Out
No winter signings: FSG out
LFC still in every comp and 6 points clear: FSG out
Utd, Chelsea et al have all spent more than they can afford and look where they are. Is that what we want? I’m not sure what else FSG can do, they’re running our club brilliantly.

no one is saying FSG is perfect but often they are criticised for something they haven't actually done or just accusations with no evidence to back them up .You see, this is my problem (well, some would say, one of many of my problems) - H&G were the byword for utter, venal greed and corruption, then along came FSG and 'saved' us, so they can do no wrong.

No, no - you're polarising the argument. Just because some of us don't want to criticise everything they do doesn't mean we think they are perfect, and it's unfair to make that accusation.You see, this is my problem (well, some would say, one of many of my problems) - H&G were the byword for utter, venal greed and corruption, then along came FSG and 'saved' us, so they can do no wrong.

The implication seems to be that unless we're willing to see the worst we are either sycophantic or stupid, and that's just wrong.
Do you really think they would be committing some sort of fraud that some bloke on the internet can suss out looking at a few broad figures?
Conspiracies have to at least be plausible.
Really Donga, I think you're a decent bloke but all this hatred is tiring to read.
