Remember that one time, between injuries, when he was half decent, then he got injured, then he got injured, then he got injured, then he got injured, then he got injured.

If Ox maintains fitness he's more than good enough as a rotation player, but he can't stay fit while playing and training at this level. We've given him more than enough chances. I feel for him but it's time for everyone to move on. It will be better for him to get more regular but less intensive football as well.
His body is shot, he can't stay fit anymore. The longest (only?) time he's been fit for more than a few months was the back end of last season when he didn't play. As soon as he gets on the pitch he picks up another injury. It's a shame because after being eased into the side in his first season he started to really kick on and he's the type of player from midfield that we don't have and need - somebody that can really drive forwards from midfield, break into the box and can shoot from distance.

Liverpool up for sale 
Last edited:
I very much doubt that FSG have actively put the club up for sale. They may, as they have previously, look for other investors and sell off a small percentage to help them fund the growth of FSG. That said like with any of these American owned sides, if not officially up for sale they'll always sell if somebody offers them enough.
Surprised it came now but was always going to happen. FSG were always in it for the money, they turned an almost bankrupt club into a financially sound and well-run one, won the titles they wanted to and now are looking to their their profits.
Whether they're selling part or all of it will depend on the offers and interests of course.
Do we know if any American billionaires are Liverpool fans?

LeBron was a small deal years ago however FSG not that long ago Gerry Cardinale (the new owner of Milan) bought 10% of FSG as a whole (not just Liverpool) with that money used to then purchase a NHL side. There's been lots of talk that FSG want to purchase a South American football side and also are waiting for the chance to take a NBA franchise in Vegas as soon as it becomes possible.
He'll sack 50% of the players. Maybe that's what we need.
Sigh, unless we have the money sitting in our accounts already it likely means no new signings in January when we badly need a midfielder or two.
Also sad to see some fans who lambasted City and Newcastle for the antics of their owners and their attempts at sport washing their public perception wanting an Arab takeover.

The difference being, that LeBron's investment was announced as a done deal. This, whatever it is, if it does go through is a bigger deal, otherwise they wouldn't have felt the need to announce something before it's done. Someone's got whiff of it somewhere.
Talk that Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch, two of the biggest investment banks in the world are helping draw up documents. If a group or billionaire wants to take us over in full I doubt FSG would mind at all.

I said a couple of weeks ago on this very forum that FSG would sell up and cash in this year because of the club seeming to be on a decline and that rather than the needing expenditure to bring them back they would sell up. Looks like I was right
If they wanted to sell they could have done multiple times in the past. As I said in my post, at the right price we've been up for sale since day one - they didn't buy us for their love of the club or even the sport, it's an investment and they'd have always had a price in mind at what they'd sell for. Unless that figure is met, and who knows what it might be, then they'll have no interest in selling. What they've always been open about and what I suspect they're wanting to do again, is sell off a minority stake in the club to raise funds to invest elsewhere.
