Yeah I remember @Vesper and I a couple years back that predicted this. So far its come to fruition.
The main point was that the basis of Liverpool's success under Klopp was the sale of Coutinho, which funded them VVD, Salah, Fabinho, Allison, etc. It was evident they would need this kind of funding to replace them and FSG are too skint with the Red Sox to care.
