Time will tell if it's a good or bad thing.  Hard to know what to make of this now.

Chat they will take over completely in a year or 2...as you say armamike time will tell.

For all the shit FSG have got through the years, for the most part they've been great owners... bar a few things

Absolutely, commercial astute, invested in the club rather than just bleeding it, good signings (in general), maintained a good PR/culture within the club. Has worked out in their favour too as the value of the club rose drastically.
If Bezos has the same impact I'd be delighted.

Hindsight is easy. It's time for the Liverpool fans to declare their support for the new investors. Or wait and be armchair critics if it doesn't produce the desired results.

The Yanks bought Liverpool for 300 million in 2010.

Now it is worth 5.5 billion.

I think you have to give them credit for investing in Anfield too without simply letting it decay round them like UTD or Chelsea's owners.

Absolutely, just seemed to have a decent long term strategy.
Also has to be said that Klopp was a major cog in the revival. More impact than any other person involved. Prob a bit of luck that he became available at the right time. Without him, I'm not sure we'd be looking back on the era as fondly. But they made it happen.

Yeah, but you can say that about any generational manager or player.

Ferguson could have been snapped up by another team and the 90s and 00s doesn't happen for United.

Same with Shankly at Liverpool. Or who knew that Bob Paisley would take what Shankly had built and turn Liverpool into an utter machine?

Liverpool were a sleeping giant when FSG took over.  There was enormous potential to build the club after a couple of decades of poor ownership where the club had never really moved forward during the premier league era.  So there was a great opportunity for FSG to increase the value of the club.  Not sure there is the same level of return now available to the new investors.  Supporters groups like Spirit of Shankly are rightfully asking to find out more about the role of the investors in the club and what the implications might be for supporters.  I doubt we will hear much, but it's only right to ask.  I don't think any Liverpool supporter older than 30 will be too naive about new investors after what happened under the two yank cowboys Hicks and Gilette.

Jacquet looks like quite the player.
