It was already a bad weekend before Liverpool's abysmal 3-1 defeat at struggling Leicester on Monday night.
The club lost sole ownership of its "most successful club in England" tag as Manchester United won their 41st major honour on Sunday.
Ten years ago the trophy count was 40-32 in Liverpool's favour. That was the year the club was taken over, first by Tom Hicks and George Gillett then by Fenway Sports Group. The spectre of how the owners operate and how much transfer money they'd given Jurgen Klopp so far arose again.
The whole team's performance at King Power on Monday evening was atrocious; breathtakingly bad even by Liverpool's 2017 standards.
