      Good on the fans for amping up the criticism and making sure the outcry was at a volume which meant they had to reverse the decision quickly. It was an absolute PR nightmare of a decision.

      I don't think they did come to their senses. If corporates had there way it would of stood. It was only because of the fan base and public demand that they had to reverse their own downfall. Simple truth is the likes of levy, Ashley & FSG are greedy penny pinching tw*ts and have no consideration to their fan.

      Glad for the good of football Liverpool have reversed their mistake, interestingly enough will Levy & Ashley now follow suit.

      Appreciate your considered understanding of the situation and that is mostly reflected in your posts. cheers.

      Anybody thinking that they've reversed this because they give a f**k about the people that they furloughed is wrong.

      The credit for this being overturned should, solely, go to the fan base because if we'd not kicked up a fuss they'd still not be giving a f**k now. PR made them reverse. End of.

      True, but I highly doubt it was anyone senior at the club that made the decision.

      I'd bet this was some HR type management bod who is supposed to be in charge of the lower level employees.
      It'd be an insane amount of micro-management by someone senior.

      So although a shitty decision by whoever made it, at least it got overturned, and yes, that was down to the fan base.

      Skinflints end of, were owned by a bunch of cu*ts make no mistake, have only changed their mind due to what tha F.A. will do to them nothing to do with the fans complaining

      Bit rich this, considering the position they have brought us to following the Gillette - Hicks era that almost brought the club to bankruptcy.

      Need a head shake mate. There isn't an owner on this planet that doesn't need to make a profit, unless it's of the throw away oil money kind.

      Why ever they changed tack, we won't be privy to who claimed furlough, or why, in the first place, or for what reason it was reversed.
      Speculate all you want, but you don't really know. You are only spouting your personal thoughts on what might have taken place, inside the business sector off the club.  The only thing that matters is, it has been reversed.

      Nah is it F**k, they wore out that goodwill sh*te after the £77 ticket fiasco, I'm sick of seeing the PR sh*te like This Means More and all that family crap from them. What's worse is the gullible section of our support who swallow their PR sh*te whole because they supposedly saved the club!!

      If I was Hendo & Klopp I'd have been fuming over this. All the work they've done, not just during the crisis but over the last few years, helping to give the club a more likeable image, doing things the right way etc

      Then the suits put the club in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.

      Don't get me wrong, I'm happy they've U-turned but the damage was already done as soon as they announced the furlough.

      After the backlash they received for trying to increase ticket prices by nearly £20 a pop, or attempting to trademark the word 'Liverpool', I can't believe they thought they'd get away with it. They've tested the water with the fans enough to be able to anticipate what sort of reaction they'd get

      They've been better than most and they got us Klopp. Yes, they make mistakes but at least they correct them when the fans tell them they're wrong.

      No owners are ever perfect and FSG certainly aren't, but looking at where we are right now - world champions, European champions and soon to be English champions - they're clearly one of the best.

      No it wasn't. You're being extremely naive if you think they just would have changed the decision without pressure from supporters.

      I think the owners are opportunistic, if the supporters don’t keep them in check they could go about doing whatever they want, it’s great to see local support being vocal & SOS..

      Won’t be the last f**k up they do only to be corrected..
