If an important player wants to stay FSG will push them out if the price is right. It's the FSG way. They have a track record of course. Klopp is in on it too. He cut short his sabbatical and turned down other clubs so he could join us and help us improve our balance sheet. And yes moneyball is all about cashing in on your best players. Anyone who has bothered to look into it will know this and can see this is what FSG have implemented at LFC.
We have sold Torres, Mascherano, Sterling, Suarez and Coutinho during FSG's 7 and a half years at the club, that's not far off an average of a top player every season.
I'm not saying FSG are necessarily bad owners but it's ridiculous to say they won't cash in if the money is on the table. Barcelona said in January that they couldn't believe how keen we were to sell Coutinho.
FSG bought the club several months after Mascherano was sold.
Torres, Sterling, Suarez and Coutinho didn't leave because FSG wanted to cash in on them. Even you know that. They left because they wanted out and player and agent power wins out more often then not. We got 50mil for a broken down Torres who asked to leave and that money was reinvested in Suarez and Carroll. Sterling was doing unsanctioned interviews and calling in sick while his agent was slandering the club in public. We refused to sanction the sale of Suarez even though Arsenal met his release clause and he stopped training properly and we then sold him a year later. And Coutinho was feigning injury and his agent was slinging mud at Klopp through the press. All these players wanted to go and ultimately if the player wants to leave they will leave. Once the players and the agents start slinging mud in the media and start playing up on the training field the writing is on the wall. Sooner or later they will leave and it's just plain stupid to cut your nose off to spite your face.
And the bit in bold, what quotes do you have from the Barcelona directors that back this up? Or are you just using twitter rumours to beat the club with again.
