FSG's embarrassing penny-pinching move has fans RAGING

Fans are understandably angry as Liverpool owners FSG are ridiculed for a ridiculous penny-pinching move.

FSG aren't winning themselves many fans right now. It's hard to believe they're winning any.

Just look at the situation dominating Liverpool right now. The Reds are set to lose arguably their three best outfield players on free transfers.

Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all out of contract in the summer. This has been the situation since last summer, of course, but no deals have been renewed.

In fact, it appears Liverpool are actually reluctant to renew the deals. Salah and Van Dijk are both viewed as too old to be safe bets on long-term contracts.

Alexander-Arnold is flirting with Real Madrid and the Reds are unwilling to pay him the mega-money that might keep him around. It's all a very bad look - especially when they're quite blatantly trying to distract the fans.

Then there was the failed transfer pursuit in the summer. Martin Zubimendi was wanted but Liverpool couldn't convince him. To make matters worse, there was no alternative.

Yes, 'here we are with problems at the top of the league' but the future looks worrisome. And even more so when you see what FSG are doing elsewhere.

FSG and the Boston Red Sox

This was supposed to be a golden free agency for the Boston Red Sox. There were promises of mega-deals for stars, only for absolutely nothing to materialise.

Sound familiar?

The big name was Juan Soto, who was expected to sign a record-breaking contract in Major League Baseball. The Red Sox were apparently in the mix for him but he eventually agreed to sign for the New York Mets on a $600m deal.

The idea that they were in for him now looks absolutely ridiculous after a penny-pinching move that has fans raging.

Jarred Duran was the star man for the Red Sox last season, earning around $760k. Thanks to his performances, that figure was supposed to jump to $4m this season.

Only, the team have got him down with the league to earn $3.5m. The $500k difference is enough for Duran to take this to arbitration as he tries to get what he feels he earns.

Now the Red Sox must argue that one of their most important players doesn't deserve that extra $500k. It's ridiculous - especially when the entire league can see them doing this.

How are star players going to move there with that level of frugality? Especially when projections have Duran as a $4.9m player, meaning the Red Sox and FSG are getting a $900k bargain as it is.

It's incredible behaviour - and a really worrying sign for any watching Liverpool fan.
