How can you criticise FSG when we need them most?

Liverpool fans need to stop criticizing FSG for how they run the club and appreciate that this is moment we need them most.

This seems to have been generated by the news that Liverpool would not be putting bids in for Timo Werner and the general slow pace of transfer news.

Frustration has boiled over because of his lack of spending, even though the side is 25 points clear at the top of the Premier League and won the Champions League last summer.

Despite that, spending has remained fairly low and the only first team additions were Adrian on a free transfer, Sepp van den Berg, Andy Lonergan and Takumi Minamino in the January transfer window.

Liverpool have shown that they are prudent with their money and are capable of buying and selling well, a position that any side in the football league would be delighted to be in.

But sometimes people don’t always see it that way – and the news that the Reds might not go after Werner has been greeted badly in parts.

These fans don’t grasp that it’s not right to criticize FSG for the way they’ve run the club, especially not now when we need them the most.

This isn’t an article to say the owners should never be held to account. They should. But this issue isn’t one they need to be held to account for.

FSG have kept Liverpool on a tight financial ship and that’s the reason they are able to spend big on Alisson or Virgil van Dijk and that’s the reason why they are better placed than most to weather the COVID-19 storm,

Clubs have lost a huge money making scheme and are continuing to pay out big on wages and the like. It’s natural that spending might be pegged back a little when the world normalizes again, but this is no reason to rant against FSG.
