I think Pep will have the greatest impact of the 'new boys' long term' he's impressing me already.

ALSO has brick loads of money to get the best players (life's a bitch!)

I thought we did. We finished 3rd, they finished mid table?

Why do I want them to fail? Simple. We will overtake them both on and off the field in the next 5-10 years. And I want that to happen sooner rather than later. However, I do agree that we should be wary of them when they fail because it makes them a perfect candidate for a nation state to buy them (like Emirates Marketing Project). If their appalling management stays their brand will be so badly damaged that West Ham, Southampton, Stoke and Everton will overtake them as well.

It could be happening, although Stavely supposedly had some Dubai group interested in Liverpool in the past and it came to nothing.

Chinese ready to pounce on Liverpool FC

An investment fund backed by the Chinese government and leading City dealmaker Amanda Staveley is close to grabbing a large stake in Liverpool Football Club.

The deal, which could be sealed in the coming weeks, is understood to value the Merseyside giant at about £800m. It would significantly bolster the club’s finances, enabling it to buy in star players.

China Everbright, a state-backed financial conglomerate, is spearheading the approach. However, the bulk of the cash is expected to come from China Investment Corporation (CIC), the country’s main sovereign wealth fund, according to senior football and City sources.

Staveley — who engineered an emergency £7bn fundraising for Barclays from Middle Eastern investors during the financial crisis — is brokering the deal between CIC and Fenway Sports, the American owner of Liverpool. Staveley could plough some cash into the deal. Fenway has hired Allen & Company, a US boutique investment bank, to advise it on the talks.

...

Entrepreneurs from China have also been targeting English football clubs in recent months, as the new £1.7bn-a-season TV rights deal kicks in. West Bromwich Albion recently fell into Chinese hands, joining fellow Midlands clubs Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

It is unclear whether the owner of Liverpool is willing to sell the entire club to the Chinese. Tom Werner, chairman of the club and a big shareholder in Fenway, said on Friday that the club was “not for sale”, although he admitted that it was open to the idea of selling a minority stake.

It is thought that under the current plan, Liverpool would be taken over by a new investment vehicle, sources said. It would be backed by Everbright, the American tycoon John Henry — the club’s dominant shareholder — and, potentially, Staveley’s PCP.

However, Henry and the Chinese are still thrashing out financial terms, meaning the talks could extend beyond the end of the month. Henry may yet retain a controlling stake, with the Chinese taking a minority holding.

How far has this little puta of a club fallen? They now aspire to be the new Chelsea or Emirates Marketing Project. I am not sure what happens when the Chinese government invest in your club. Are they in it to win European Cups for their nation or are they in it to return as much money as possible to their investors? Either way it is not very edifying.
 
I wondered what' was in the offing a couple of days ago when FSG came out with the announcement that the club was not for sale but they might be open to a minor investment if the right opportunity was forthcoming.
It looks like it has 'forthcame'. Only a matter of time until minor investment becomes majority takeover. If that happens it will shirley, certainly, absolutely, liver-bir-definitely, be their year. The rest of the league may as well pack up now.
 
Has the press started to turn on Klopp? Is his star not shining as brightly as it once was? I am seeing more and more articles from mainstream media (recently the BBC) questioning the cult of Klopp. I guess when it starts to go badly wrong for Liverpool, it wouldn't be their fault because they will be the victims of a vicious campaign to destabilise them by the Murdoch controlled media.

The pedestrian area in front of their new main stand will be known as 96 Avenue.

I have to say this is becoming very boring now. It was a horrible thing to happen to anybody but to constantly ram it down people's throats with having 96 on everything to do with LFC has run its course. I no longer care about what happened.

Perhaps MUFC can call the approach to Old Trafford Munich Way or Bradford City have a statue of a fireman outside their stadium.

It was becoming very boring 20 years ago. Now they're just a ridiculous caricature of themselves, like those Monty Python jokes you're convinced will end this time but they never do.
 
Hope the Chinese investment totally meddles with everything like change logo to dragon or some brick like that, just to see them go crazy ..
