      Been nipped in the Bud. Very happy with that outcome, now let's forget about it and move on to winning Back to Back!

      This issue isn't going away. The lower leagues need bailed out and the Premier League isn't going to just give them a bunch of money with no changes or compromises. Something is going to (and needs to) happen. We might as well look out for our interests as a club.

      It was nothing short of opportunism
      Poorly timed and a flawed and poor idea

      Dont think the "help" towards the EFL was anything other than  a PR attempt because they have literally zero sway in what happens in the PL. It was nothing more than hope that the EFL would praise the idea and get the public onside pressuring the rest of the PL

      The idea goes against our fundamental ideas of socialism as a city and a club so personally I'm glad it fell on its face

      If you want to help the EFL tgen help them but dont dress up the tokanism of help to simply get what you want
      Whether the PL should help the EFL is a completely different thing but this wasnt help, this was an idea cooked up over the last few years and the owners have used this time to try to get it through

      This and the whole furlough sh*te have deeply embarrassed us as a club and a city. FSG have been here ten years yet it’s evident they don’t know much about Liverpool do they.

      Why? You do realize that there are already tens of thousands of people that hate our club simply because we are winning. Who gives a sh*t what other people think?

      Stop worrying about what unreasonable people do or think, it will make your life a whole lot better. One of the biggest reasons I started getting off most all social media. People are idiots and especially now that they can voice their stupid opinions from the "safety" of behind their computers.

      I care when the clubs principles are shat on time and again by owners who simply either sont get it or refuse to get it.

      Every ao often from increased ticket prices, trademarking 'Liverpool', furloughing staff and now this they fail to strike the right tone.

      Tone deaf really.

      Always felt Morientes would have adapted far quicker had we got him in the August when Madrid signed Owen, rather than having to wait until Jan.

      Haven't come out of it smelling of roses have they. The timing of it just smacked of a power grab when the game was in crisis. If they had come forward with a bit of democracy in the deal rather than the stitch up they tried, and also put out maybe a consultation paper or something similar they might've had half a chance.

      Quote from billythered
      The real issues I see are that the money men including our owners are driving another nail into the coffin of football fans nationwide,  they don't understand football's origin as a working class sport for working class people,  they are not interested that your great grandpa lifted you over the turnstiles back in the day no matter which club you support,

      Money is what the want and they don't give a flying F**k who falls by the wayside as long as they make their profits,
      At the end of the day the most important assets are the fans, if fans don't go to any given ground, or don't pay any particular subscription fee the money men are fu**ed,

      All football club's fans both from the EFL & EPL should band together and demand what we want, at the moment the tail is wagging the dog,

      The money men want total control as far as I can tell, and again that includes our Avaricious lot, who it has to be said are going against the very fabric of what our club is about,  now there are some good points raised in their plan but like what most are alluding to, it's a total power grab, and that just isn't right.


                                              YNWA

      What do they, the fans, want? A "power grab" and a club to support. Or no power grab, and no club to support? Because apparantly, that is the choice facing many clubs atm.

      The fans, us included, have been locked out of grounds for the past 6 months, and probably for the rest of this season. It's difficult enough for us to deal with, how are they going to manage ? A slice of the 50mn pie won't see them to the end of the season, for some it might not even see them to Christmas. Our club and a handful of others, put forward a detailed and lucrative bailout to safeguard their futures, and make our lives easier. They would rather have their traditions and their principles, rather than make the basic income and expenditure figures match up.

      10 years ago today, we had some complex financial issues of our own to deal with. I was in Graz on the day, and was expecting the seemingly endless court cases back and forth to continue, when I was told the issues had been settled. We were saved in the nick of time. Other clubs won't be quite so lucky.

      From today's presser: “First of all I think it is really important that we speak about it, because I can't remember the last time when we spoke about this, the space for improvement within football, in professional football. A lot of times in life there must be a crisis, not maybe a virus, but a crisis for people to start talking, so I'm really happy that people now start talking about it. Yes, it's very competitive and that's positive and nobody wanted to change that. I am not really in it, it's not that I was involved. I was informed from a specific point. But I can say that all the people I know who are involved (in Project Big Picture) are concerned about football. Yes, about Liverpool as well, it's normal, but about football in general. That was their intention. And now other people can  make of it what they want. If you want to understand the idea behind it I think it's possible. If you don't want, then you just knock it down. It's not a problem. We will play on football, before that, after that, but there are things we can improve and I really think that you always really need to improve them now, before you see the realy problems in the future, and that's what these people tried to do. When the process keeps on going and people are talking about it, then it's very, very positive."

      Waffling nonsense. The club was never in threat in that court case, plus FSG got us for a nice cheap price. Comparing that to what is going on is ludicrous. It's greed, nothing more nothing less. Just wrapped in an EFL charitable bow.
