The club and it's fans will continue to exist for eternity so not really

>Can it be fixed?
Obviously yes, city level money could fix any team, even more so a EL level one

>Without oil money
Questionably. It's taken Arsenal a good few years of having decent money to get back up to near title speed and they had a new stadium and managed to keep themselves in the CL.

I think long term, certainly it's possible. If they got a new stadium, made decent investments and seize any opportunities they get (i.e. don't slip the title away) it's possible. Chances are they'll uncover more great players someday, it's a question of whether they can keep them long enough to win a trophy.

They issue for Liverpool isn't that they can't afford players, but no players want to go there because they're unlikely to win anything. It's a vicious cycle which can be broken by getting lucky with a world class signing such as a Torres (pre-Chelsea, remember) or a Suarez.

when klopp came to bvb they were pretty similar to lfc right now, he had even less talent, and a very young and cheap team. I'm not just fanboying but I think there is room for top 4 in the next few seasons if you are patient.

Klopp had no pressure and a golden generation of academy players to work with though.

No. They should burn it to the ground.

Should have moved ground in early 2000. What the owners have done regarding the stadium still is nowhere near good enough. The current work only serves their short term interest.

But can't they make up for that with astronomical levels of spending, the way that Manchester City? With 300 million pounds to spend over 3 years, you should be able to find at least 6 or 7 "top" players who are willing to play there for inflated salaries (roughly 30 million per player, with the remaining money being used for wages). You might get one or two flops, but it seems like this would be a relatively simple way for Liverpool to have forced their way back into the top 4.

They won the League cup didn't they?

Yes, I think this was either 2011 or 2012 with Dalglish. But I was under the impression that people considered that trophy to be kind of a joke.
