In those terms they have been very successful and its been a far superior project than G & H, but as a fan I want owners that care less about the bottom line but rather are infatuated with winning at any cost.

You hit the nail on the head all for your last sentence.
Winning at all cost is what Tweedle Dee and Dumb tried to do and ran the club into non-manageable debts.
They got us to a second CL final that we didn't win; but at what cost?

I'd rather us to be stable like Ar$nal than go back into debt.
WE NEED TO BECOME FINANCIALLY STABLE...

They raped our cklub from beginning to end... I hope they rot in hell.

Come on now Reg! Do you actually believe for one second that I'm coming to the defence of Tweedle Dee and Dumb?
I was engaging with previous posts of suggestion that the previous owners did nothing in order to try and gain success on the field during their spell at LFC.
I agree with you 100% albeit that your explicit words are some that I would not choose to use. 
But the facts remain that during their time of pillaging our club, they also invested in some of our most highly regarded playing staff in the entire history of LFC.

Gerrard, Carra, Alonso all stayed. In came Torres, Masc... And just so we are all on the same page - none of the players mentioned play for LFC soley based on a love and passion for it; they all reaped the benefits of high hefty competitive wages at that time and were among the highest paid footballers in the world.
---
All I'm saying is that Tweedle Dee and Dumb sanctioned those moves which we all thought at the time they were paying for...
Hindsight is a b!tch.

But for the record and you Reg. 
Hicks and Gillett were absolute C.UNTS in their time at LFC

Its not that they haven't spent any money, it has just been spent wrong. 
We signed Suarez, one of the greatest players ever, and then built a side around Andy Carroll... Downing for the crosses, Adam for the corners.  At the same time we got rid of Kuyt, Meireles and Maxi who were linking up fantastically well with Suarez.  FSG didn't want older players on decent wages.
Baffling decision to build a team around Andy when we had Luis.

We have also wasted so much money on 3rd and 4th choice targets like Balotelli.  We miss the top targets as we lowball every time on fees and wages.
This just leads to having a squad of useless failed players.

We sold Carroll, only to sign Benteke a season or 2 later for a similar ridiculous fee and then sacked the manager about 10 games into the season.
Baffling stuff again.

They have no idea how to run a football club and should look to sell up.

The owners provide the cash, which FSG have done in copious amounts be it for players or the new stand etc..

It's the club that screw up the rest.... poor scouting, poor decision making, the wrong players and poor performances on the pitch.

But let's not allow that to get in the way of a good story... '"Yanks Out!"

The Yanks should be demonstrating outside Anfield not the fans.
