Yes it seems like FSG for Liverpool do the absolute minimum every time to just about keep fans on side. They're always looking to keep the wage bill as low as possible, even the fact that they chose to expand the stadium as oppose to building a new one and raise the price of tickets. Liverpool tend to recruit young, promising but unproven players to come in on lesser wages and try and develop them up to become top players and then sell them for big money, and then the cycle repeats itself. So just when we think we're making progress we will lose one of our top players who we've built the team around (e.g. Suarez) and we're back where we started.
Is this similar at Red Sox?
