Liverpool as a business

As a lifelong fan of more than 30 years, I have always been proud of my team and even prouder the way this club has been run over the last few years. Today, I feel ashamed of the club. As someone who works in a small organisation which will be struggling with the lockdown and that has had to furlough most of our staff, hoping that we can still have a business at the end of this, I am disgusted that a club that has just announced a multi million pound deal with Nike and that will probably spend millions to get players in the next transfer window, is taking money from the tax payers. This money is needed to pay for our NHS and other services, not to shore up the profit of profitable organisations. I am well and truly disgusted by this club today. It breaks my heart to say this but this is how I feel.

Don’t forget though, all those people who were panic buying at the start of all this would do exactly the same if they had the brains or privilege to be in that position too

This is why none of the big issues in football ever get properly resolved. From racism, to ownership, safe standing, to ticket pricing. Every time there needs to be constructive discourse between fan groups, ignorance and tribalism takes over.

This has nothing to do with Liverpool supporters, Tottenham supporters, or even about their clubs, when you think about it. It's solely about the current custodians of these institutions, and the p/ss poor way they're selling us all - including the people they rely on to keep pumping money into their 'franchises' - down the river.

Why are people attacking the people of Liverpool when they have no influence over decisions like this that the club make? Some of you just can’t stop with the tribal BS, no matter what the circumstances. Feckin imbeciles.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

For me, it’s an attack against the club that appears to have lost any connection with the city.

If Everton do this, I’m done with them. Will never celebrate another victory, cup win or walk into Goodison again and you can quote me on that.


Had an interesting quote from the media.

‘what would Shankly do?' Doubt he'd have said let the taxpayer pay some wages when you've just made £42m profit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nah, plenty of attacks on the people of Liverpool 👍
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Bore off, that’s my hometown, I don’t feel attacked.

I feel let down by the actions of a club doing good stuff for the community, then this PR disaster.

What would Shankly be doing if he were manager. I am sure the great man would have been very vocal and against this.

As I said, it’s lost all connection with the city and if Everton follow then I am done.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bore off? What’s that all about, bloody loon. Just on these boards people are commenting about fans being happy to receive payouts from the tory’s, despite hating them. That’s what I’m referring to, it’s in black and white.

Bore off, you wish to defend a franchise built originally by and for the people of Liverpool.

What would old Bill think of how his empire has been turned against the people he was so proud to serve.

What the feck are you going on about, you utter lunatic? I’m not defending the club anywhere. Get a grip of yourself Arouna, you’re more delusional than ever. Stupid caant.

Nope, your stand is clear.

It’s a terrible stance from LFC and if Everton follow then I am done with them.

What is my stand then, if it’s so clear? I literally have no idea what you’re talking about, you’re completely making it up....

I make a post about posters attacking fans and people of Liverpool for the actions of the club, and you interpret that as me defending the club.

I knew you were thick, but you’re taking it to new levels here....

they were panic buying because of lack of brains so would never be in that position.
