FSG could make a big mistake over the club's new £300m partnership deal.
There are a lot of things Liverpool's owners have got right since arriving at Anfield.
One cannot deny the exponential growth Liverpool have been on under FSG's leadership in the last decade.
From being on the brink of slipping out relevance to now being one of the major names in world football again.
However, at times FSG's decisions will still raise eyebrows, including the club's latest agreement with Adidas over becoming Liverpool's next kit supplier.

Luis Diaz has started the season in great form, scoring five goals and making an assist across eight Premier League starts.
This is in direct contrast to his heavily criticised performances last season, where the Colombian was noticeably lacking cutting edge.
Despite rumours of potential moves to Barcelona and Paris Saint Germain lingering throughout the summer, no contract talks proved successful.
However, Diaz continues to attract attention and Liverpool could be planning a shock sale, despite his great form.

Mo Salah recorded yet another assist for Liverpool against RB Leipzig last night.
Granted, it was a header intended for goal that was definitely going in before Darwin Nuñez pounced to help it on its way, but it was going to be another goal involvement for Salah regardless.
That takes his tally for the season up to 14 goal involvements in just 12 games, split evenly between seven goals and seven assists.
Yet the Egyptian cut a disgruntled figure when substituted on the 64th minute of the game, visibly frustrated.

It appears Liverpool are nearing the point where they are already ready to cut their losses with Federico Chiesa.
That is according to Calciomercato.it who claims that the Reds are open to loaning Chiesa back to Italy in January.
At least, the article suggests they're willing to consider the option. We'll see what comes of it but it appears Liverpool have a massive decision to make very soon.
There's still a while to go here, and Calciomercato.it is not the world's most reliable source. Still, there's no question that Liverpool must reconsider their Chiesa plans.

It is a period of transition at Liverpool, despite the fact that the team are firing on all cylinders and sit at the top of the Premier League.
A new head coach means a new approach towards players, and Arne Slot clearly places impetus on bringing youth players into the first-team setup slowly.
We have seen Trey Nyoni and Tyler Morton both make Champions League matchday squads, as well as select youngsters like Rio Ngumoha and Oakley Cannonier training with the first team as they look to make a step up in their age groups.
Now TBR Football are reporting that Liverpool are keen on a young Italian star.

Judging by Liverpool’s results this season there would be no reason to change the team at all.
The Reds sit top of the Premier League and on the whole, the performances have supported what the tables say.
Rumours of significant squad turnover are rife, however, with Mo Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk out of contract at the end of the season. But it is not just in those positions, as a centre-forward replacement could be on the cards.
And links to Bayer Leverkusen’s attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz won’t go away either.
Wirtz presents an interesting proposition as he exists in a position that Liverpool don’t really have currently in the team. With that in mind, we thought it worth exploring how Liverpool could change with Wirtz in the team should the rumoured £100m transfer happen.
