Fenway Sports Group net spend truth is clear - Liverpool will invest a lot this summer
If there's one industry that has welcomed a difficult season for Liverpool, it's the plane hire business.
Twice over the last few months, a banner has been flown over Anfield on matchday demanding the club's owners - Fenway Sports Group - depart the club immediately.
The first, shortly before the 7-0 thrashing of Manchester United in March, declared "FSG OUT - KLOPP IN - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH", while half-time of the extraordinary 4-3 triumph over Tottenham Hotspur a fortnight ago saw the message "LFC - SOX - PENGUINS. SAME PROBLEMS. FSG OUT!" buzzing around the Merseyside air.
The lack of a reaction from match-going supporters to either demonstration suggests any strength of feeling among Anfield regulars is not quite as pronounced as those who in January failed in their attempt to arrange a protest against the owners before the goalless home draw with Chelsea.
Where all Liverpool fans are in agreement, though, is believing Jurgen Klopp deserves greater backing in the transfer window. FSG have implied as much themselves with confirmation from principal owner John Henry in February that, while the club is not for sale, they are seeking outside investment.

It's reported that the Uruguayan midfielder has a release clause worth £53m to get him out of Portugal, but it remains unclear as to whether Liverpool will pursue a move.
