      Boycotts of the games do nothing for our club. If we don't go, then others will. And most likely it'll be the beauts and whoppers who get the tickets and won't sing and just complain and boo.

      If we boycott the Liverpool shop and merchandise directly from the club then it'll hit them where it hurts because they rely on the massive fan base of ours to exploit us and encourage us to spend our hard earned money so we can keep their pockets lined.

      completely agree on games crouchie, players and managers need the support on the field, it's what sets our fans aside from others. it's the off field sh*t that needs addressing. they're running a 'franchise' to sell crap to make money.

      increased turnover this year...again.
      hardly any investment in players this season...again (net spend last season was sh*te too).
      no money spent on beginning the new staidum...again.

      yet the debt has risen by 200m over 3 years under their ownership.

      if we're not spending the earned cash on stadium or players, where did all the money go (loan interests aside)?

      so keep buying your shirts and your stupid lfc mugs to line the yanks pockets, longer you do it, longer they'll stay. I'm having non of it.

      There are reasons why guys like these buy football clubs.

      They know that no matter what they do, no matter how little they invest in the club, the fans will still buy the tickets and the merchandise out of blind loyalty.

      This wouldn't happen in any other business. If the product was being neglected the public simply wouldn't choose to invest their hard earned into it.

      In some cases, supporting the club means doing everything possible to get rid of the leaches, not paying lip service to it on an internet forum whilst piling more money into their pockets.

      I'll say again - you are not buying from the club, you are buying from the yanks, and putting even more money in their pockets.

      Every single revenue stream means more money that they take OUT of the club.

      THEY ARE THE OWNERS, THEY ARE THE ONE'S PROFITTING, NOT THE CLUB.

      So don't try and give me a guilt trip because you want a shiny new f**king shirt to impress your mates.

      If that's the case, let's hope we get relegated?!?!?!

      if we get relegated, it'll because the c***s have sucked the club dry and run it into the ground, not because we stopped buying their shirts.

      you buy 100 shirts, they'll take 100 shirts worth of money fro the club, you buy 1, they'll take 1's worth. simple, don';t line their pockets

      I go to as many home games as possible, which hasn't been too many this season really, mostly due to work issues.

      Being based in Glasgow is also a bit of a hindrance!  :f_wah:

      Well they're claiming to have spoken to SOS's Jay Mckenna, so it may be true.

      I read that quote too HR.  I also read somewhere this morning that season tickets next season could have to go up to £1900 to balance the cashflow.
