Liverpool chairman Tom Werner says that team owners have to be able to take criticism from supporters.
Fenway Sports Group have been coming under fire on both sides of the Atlantic in recent months for similar things, with some fans of both Liverpool and the Boston Red Sox happy with what has been a perceived lack of investment into the product on the field.
For Liverpool the ire has been directed at FSG due to a lack of transfer spend to address their midfield issues that have been present for some time, and inactivity in two to three transfer windows had created a recruitment problem where a considerable number of their squad are ageing or no longer producing to the levels that they did and need replacing at a similar time. That will likely be a costly exercise for FSG, but it is one that fans want addressed in the January window and not at the end of the season to aid their pursuit of a top four finish that is by no means cut and dried.
