I don't, we haven't got a manager that knows how to spend it. May as well throw it in the Mersey.

From The Sunday Times
Liverpool hit jackpot after £800m China bidReds have potential to be richest club in the Premier LeagueLiverpool are the target of an £800m takeover bid backed by the Chinese government that has the potential to make them the richest club in the Premier League. China Everbright, a state-backed financial giant, is spearheading the attempt to buy the Anfield club from current owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) but the bulk of the money is expected to come from the China Investment Corporation (CIC), the country’s main sovereign wealth fund, whose assets are put at about £620bn.
Should the bid succeed it would give Liverpool backers with a financial clout exceeding even that of Manchester City’s owner, Sheikh…

I hope they buy us out tbh, let's face it if we knock the Chinese back they'll just invest in someone else and then another no mark outfit like City or Chelsea will be catapulted into the big time. Those 2 clubs combined had about 3 title wins between them in over 200 years of football but now they are widely regarded throughout the sporting world as true giants of the game.
History is great but unless you continue to make it you end up like Preston or Wolves who once dominated the English game themselves but who's glory days are now largely forgotten.
The days of English top flight clubs being owned by a local used car salesman who as a kid used to stand on the very same terraces he now owns are long gone, wether we like it or not this is the era of high finance and £100m players and we are getting left behind. One CL appearance in the last 7 years shows that.

FSG have so far failed to bring significant improvements on the pitch and this summer has again exposed their lack of ambition or reluctance to spend.
If they genuinely want Liverpool top of the tree they should set aside their own agenda for the good of the club and its long suffering fans by accepting help from China to make us potentially the richest club in England.
You do begin to wonder if the small net spend and streamlining of the playing staff has been done with this in mind as its extraordinary that with the cash swilling about this summer weve been so passive in the market.

I agree with your post Mate i was thinking along those same lines all the top clubs are now owned and financed by foreign investment.

I agree. Only way we will compete is if we spend big. One season wonders like leicester are rare. I hope this deal happens.

Could be an interesting alterative to Dahoud and a good partner for Can.
