If people are asking FSG to spend money out of their own pockets... that ain't going to happen. We don't have a multi-billionaire owner who owns the club as a play toy. Of course they are treating it like a self-sustaining business.
They were always banking on FFP to level the playing field, so to speak and invest in youth and development. I'm sure Paltini's announcement on FFP didn't come as welcome news to them.
What I think can be done, is overhaul the current hierarchy we have in place and get in better people (DoF, Manager, etc.) to work within those constraints.
IMO, unless we just get unbelievably lucky with all are transfers and youth development, its going to be a journey of incremental success until we can compete with the Chelsea's/Man U/City's of the world on a year in and year out basis. I think that we caught lightning in a bottle last season and it went to all of our heads a bit too much (from the owners down to the supporters), in regards to where we really stand.

I will never hold it against FSG to see the most return on their investment possible. The issue for somebody like me is that I am a supporter, not an owner. My only concern is that we figure out a way in today's game to be in the mix for Domestic and European trophies. Our play last year was lightning in a bottle but with the Suarez cash we could have possibly sustained some form of that success. I totally agree that with the recent FFP news we need to re group and overhaul from top to bottom accordingly. I am squarely on the Klopp train but we must get a new plan up top as well. I am trying to take emotion out of the equation but I understand it rears it's ugly head after a 3-1 defeat at Anfield to Palace. I believe BR gets another year from FSG and unfortunately I don't think the transfer committee is going anywhere. I can only hope that this thing doesn't get any worse next year. Damn that is a hard read, sorry guys.
