Having been in these meetings, the patronising replies and disingenuous arguments are an absolute piss take. So are the attempts to dress this up as reasonable discussion and negotiation.
The Supporters’ Board was formed in the aftermath of @John_W_Henry trying to drag Liverpool into the European Super League (five years ago today). Something no one wanted and no one asked for.
Other supporter groups look at the SB as a gold standard. The reality has been far from it. Simply ending scrutiny and accountability by declaring “three years, end of” is a joke. It calls into question the point of the whole thing.
The PR since has more spin than the wheels on Ian Ayre’s Harley.
We were previously told concessions could be ring-fenced. So presenting that now as a win for supporters, when it was the club who moved away from it in the first place, is bollocks.
So are the endless lines about the “need” to do this. There is no need. It’s £1.2m. What it is, is the start of something. A slippery slope towards annual increases and normalising rises.
And what happens after three years? They won’t say. But we all know. They keep going up.
This is on Boston. And it’s about billionaires being out of touch. They don’t get what they’ve got. And they don’t get what they risk losing. Passionate, loyal, generational match-going support. The culture. The Kop. The habit. The love. It isn’t a product.
So the only move left is to protest. If it works, it works. If it doesn’t, then this is the road we’re on now. Good luck to the kids wanting to do what we always did.
But if you care, now is the time to stand up and back it and make it work. Support Not A Pound In The Ground. Support the next steps. Get your mates on board. The people who have given up so much of their time for the greater good can’t do it on their own.
If you don’t, if you can’t be arsed, or if you want to spend your time opposing affordability, then as Ian Ayre once said:
Be careful what you wish for…
If I hear Arne Slot use the words low block one more time 🤣 Also cant believe he just said that people will be happier that they scored 3 tonight vs creating double the amount of chances against Burnley and only scoring 1. He’s lost the plot!
So it looks like Slot and Mo’s relationship is at crisis point.
Seems like one or the other will be heading out of Anfield.
(And even if it turns out to be Salah, then I don’t think Arne will ever recover in the eyes of the fans)
Shocking from the South Yorkshire Police Federation.
Complaining of ‘trial by media’ when it was their own secretary in 1989 who peddled the lies that used the media to blame Liverpool fans. Complaining about fair and balanced?
Whoever wrote this should be ashamed - and own up
The rule is that the obvious action has to clearly impact on the ability of an opponent to play the ball. Donnarumma saw the ball all the way through - even without Robertson ducking - and just couldn’t get there. The fullback’s movement didn’t change anything.
