After Liverpool's owner (FSG) put a 'for sale' sign on the team, doubts about the club's immediate future have continued to be raised and remain unanswered by anyone on Merseyside, with the club's fans only certain that Jürgen Klopp will remain in charge even though the German himself is also in the same uncertain situation.
Although reports published by The Athletic already hint at the Reds' early mobilisation, with investment banks Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley having already been hired to help them effectively with the search for a potential buyer, the Anfield boss has revealed a couple of considerations that the new boss must take into account if he is to continue the high standards to which the club is accustomed each season.

Klopp's statements to the Thelegraph could easily be interpreted as a manual to be followed to the letter if footballing and financial success is the goal of the new management, with the German claiming that big purchases need to continue to be made but responsibly, with thought being given before money is released as to "what" the club will get out of the investment. "In the structure we had, obviously we could spend money, but we always had to look and say: 'What do we gain?'
Making wise sales and safe signings are a couple of suggestions Klopp has already put on the new boss's still-empty table, easily exposing what was done a few seasons ago with the £142m move of Coutinho to Barcelona, with that capital taken up by a new investment fund that concluded with the acquisition of two pieces now central to his weekly scheme. "The two biggest transfers we made in the past with Alisson and Virgil, we all know how that happened. We got some money from Barcelona for Coutinho and we spent it wisely.
This buying and selling success that Fenway Sports Group achieved in conjunction with Jurgen Klopp are the kind of circumstances that the Liverpool boss wants to see repeated on a consistent basis once the new management arrives, as selling players and not filling their absence safely has been one of the biggest blunders of this campaign, resulting in poor and unwise investment in an overly unbalanced squad that must play through poor decisions and the bad luck of injuries in every game.
