Liverpool spent pretty much a billion to win it.

No they didn't. Have a look at transfermarkt.
It’s a reference to what a leveraged buy out will do to us.
Show me an example of club sold for over £1b (spurs will be over £3b at least) where the owners have actually made the club more successful.

Only two clubs have actually been sold for more than 1B and that's Chelsea and AC Milan the former of the two let's be fair was a forced sale rather than a quality interested purchaser. United before you mention them wasn't a sale, Ineos are minority investors. With AC Milan it's a bit too early to say but they seem to be doing just as well as they were before. Neither club has been asset stripped which is the stated fear of many in terms of a buyout and both clubs have tried to invest heavily to improve their footballing position.

Neither has been asset stripped
Neither has been invested in for the medium term to allow the clubs financial stability eg stadium and infrastructure for income
It’s status quo as you say

You honestly think that supporters wouldn't expect/accept a 1% increase in prices YoY???
We'll see if he gives up his season ticket.

They always ignore Liverpool who have gone from strength to strength.

Leicester, city and Liverpool all had two bites of the cherry, all had two take overs in relatively quick succession because the first one didn't work.

Inflation is running at 3%, so anything less than that is a reduction

They the need to pay our overall dept. I understand reason, I guess you have to accept it for our stadium and the improved spending.

If it is paid for within PSR then it is as bona-fide achievement in football as anyone has ever had.

ENIC have done an incredible job to build infrastructure and make massive gains beyond belief in the sale price requested which is great for them. But to say that they have done anything substantial on the field is ludicrous.
They can’t build anymore and so have hit their ceiling in what they are good at. So blinkered to think no one else can push this club forwards. Just look at the glazers etc …

Liverpool was always a big(er) club commercially, this is the piece everyone conveniently misses when the "oh, spurs and Liverpool were in the same position during Poch era, and Liverpool kicked on" no, they didn't, they got back some of their previous status (very different). They had decades of a revenue stream and no need for extensive infrastructure updates (at the time)
Liverpool is a combination of jammy as fudge (the bank called loans and somehow in sale club ended up with no debt, fudging lottery stuff there), some very questionable medical teams (statistically odd number of squad had asthma at one point?) and some good sales that led to the ability to make a few key investments that paid off.
Our choices will be -> sportswashing of some kind or PE/American investors (Who will want their money back in some form), that's it ...

sounds like their chairman deserves to be paid more!
