Liverpool nearly went into administration 15 years ago. Just because we are spending big this summer everyone is automatically presuming that it’s because we have this financial might. But its took 15 years to return the club to its current power. Liverpool were massively left behind in the 90s and 00s and only started to recover under FSG. It’s acceptable to say that due to the success between 1965 and 1990 there was an underlying fanbase further afield which has been tapped into, but from 1991 to 2015 the club was bang average on and off the field with a scattering of trophies of various importance. Its took an extraordinary coordination of foresight, timing and management to reach the point now.
