On the whole American owners have been a disaster for PL clubs.

 

Ellis Short, Randy Lerner and Hicks and Gilette all ending badly. The Glazers saddling Man Utd with debt, Shahid Khan hasn't achieved anything other than championship mediocrity. Aren't Swansea American owned too?

Swansea, palace and Liverpool are the others.

 

I still don't think Fenway have been brilliant for Liverpool.

 

A few Liverpool fans I know can’t stand them, not like them lot to moan though...

 

I think they are doing as good as can be as thing stand.

I don't see anything they've done though, klopp's net spend now is almost zero since he's been at the club.

Klopps net spend has to be more than zero

Not with the coutinho transfer.

 

Aye your right I've just checked, I'm amazed at that, well done Mr Klopp.

Not much to congratulate him on spending wise, fork out £150m, strike lucky with ridiculous money for Coutinho. Bought by Rodgers, from under the nose of Pochettino apparently, i.e. he wanted him for Southampton (having previously managed him at Espanyol).

As if somebody would prefer Short over Ashley  :kasper: Neither are great, but at least Ashley has got us into a decent financial situation.

 

Sunderland are on their arse. They’ve got no money, history of players on high wages, big loan fees, sacking managers for fun, no crowds, free tickets thus no matchday revenue, no value in the squad.

 

Despite having zero ambition, we have a decent wage structure, fairly stable in relation to manager fees over the years, sell out every week, no free tickets = big matchday revenue, most players worth at least £5-10 million.

 

That’s not saying Ashley is good, mind. But we are streets ahead of them lot. Praying for another relegation and them to rot in League One for a few years.

 

You what mate?

£150m in three years isn't really that much in today's market. Both Manchester teams will have spent double that, for example.

Klopp's bought really well at Liverpool tbh.  Mane and Salah have been excellent signings

Not to mention selling Ibe, Benteke, allen and Sakho for £81 million.

Arsenal also majority owned by an American, one who is probably the top 5 worst owner in American sports, too.

 

FWIW I think Liverpool's lack of spending comes down to Klopp only willing to buy if he gets his top target and not bothering with a plan B if he doesn't.

Lucky he didn't go to Southampton he'd have never ended up at Liverpool if so [emoji38]

I heard he has been struggling with mental issues. Lots of sympathy for the guy if that's the case, must be a really tough job to do if your heads not right for it; so much pressure & judgement. He looked really talented 4-5 years ago as well.

 

Cue the 'He gets paid X amount, no sympathy' posts.

If has mental issues surely the club ought to be taking care of him, not trying to cancel his contract / wash their hands of him.  Especially in light of so much recent press over the mental wellbeing of professional sports people.....

Not really, apparently he's been struggling with this for a long time and in pretty much any other line of work if you're medically unable to do your job for an extended period you'd get laid off.

True but, my main point was that this issue in sports has become quite high profile and hence just appearing to cast him aside looks pretty crass on their side....

This isn't just any other line of work though, so the normal rules don't apply.

His Wiki: "On 15 January 2018, Jack Rodwell was confirmed to be an absolute ball bag. It was reported that Sunderland had offered to cancel Rodwell's £70,000 a week contract, with the player requesting to leave."

 

:lol:
