Yeah, I did. But the suggestion seems to be that the value of the club can only be realised if they're competitive on the pitch and to do that the team needs a lot more spent on it rather than stadium redevelopment.

I'd say there's been no shortage of cash on both projects.

I meant to mention yesterday the Radio M'side phone in some red calls in and calls Rodgers a disgrace, blah blah blah, and then says he's just got out of a pub where John Aldridge had been offering to fight other Kopites who didn't agree with him.

Ha Ha.

Am I reading this right: you believe FSG thus far have'nt backed Dalglish and then Gnashers?!!

They must have spent in excess of £320M in the past 4 seasons and a net spend of around £90M.

I doubt in that time any other team than City have backed their manager more.

No, what I was pointing out is that the theory that the RS can become self-sustaining (in the way that Arsenal are, and United were before this years daftness) financially - which is what growing the business equates to - has been disproven, because of the amount of wedge they have shelled out, will be expected to shell out as long as they are owners, and will be expected to be shelled out by anyone who buys the club off them. Moores, Yanks I and now Yanks II have been unable to build a new ground; which sort of suggests that the sums dont and are never likely to add up.

You've got hold of the wrong end of the stick then. I wasn't suggesting FSG were seeking to grow the club organically and rely on spending earnings from it rather than investing; I was pointing out that stadium restructuring is a pre-requisite for flogging the club to new owners with deeper pockets.

That's why they've gone for redevelopment: it costs less than a new stadium and can recoup a bit for them with it's corporate box emphasis which will offset any spending they will be making.

It's a cosmetic exercise because they know new owners wont want to step into a minefield of stadium redevelopment still needing to be got off the ground and all the politics that go hand in hand with it.

They basically have Hicks and Gillett's plans of develop and sell on.

The comical thing now is that the stuff gnashers has been praised for in the past (tactical flexibility) is now a stick to beat him with.

It's a textbook flip-flop and it's at the expense of someone who richly deserves it because he's the one who's been highlighting his own tactical chopping and changing.

It's quite superb. The amount of hubris being suffered is astonishing.
