Its about time though. We are having to spend this much due to the neglect in orevious years. I am still amazed at the change in strategy by FSG from BR's tenure and early Klopp years. We didnt seem to flinch when we smashed the records for a defender and a keeper by quite large margins. Wonder what triggered this change? Is it due to Klopp or is it due to coming to realization of the previous mobeyball strategy?
We are still living within our means. The money being spent is being spent by LFC not by FSG. We make more money now than we did a couple of year ago in all areas. We sold Coutinho for nearly £150mil in Jan and made £70-80mil in Champions League prize money last year. The truth is that 2 years ago the likes of Keita, Fabinho and Alisson wouldn't have even spoken to us so we couldn't splash cash on players like that if we had the cash. FSG have been steadily improving the club's financial position to give us a better chance of competing but the big change has been JURGEN KLOPP. Not only has he improved the side and got us into the Champions League 2 season in a row for the first time in over 10 years, he also has the reputation to convince players to come here over other clubs. Klopp may not be signing 7-8 players a year like some of our other managers, but his success rate has been remarkably high, and this has helped us improve each summer played a big part in where we are today.
Exactly this^^^Mr. Eagle
FSG have not changed their business plan or thinking.
The difference we now see is that FSG:
1. Trust the management team they have put in place based on results ONLY.
2. Have a football management team on and off the pitch as good as any in world football.
3. A football management team that can work inside the parameters FSG have in place.

IT'S ALL GOOD!
