'The reason Jürgen Klopp builds a team that takes 110 from 114 and wins a European Cup and World Club Cup during that time span, the reason those players focus and treat every game as though it meant everything is because they were trying to beat a team that had cheated to the tune of £900m up to the end of the 17/18 season.'

What Gary Neville said was way out of order, I have had the injury to the knee which nearly cost my playing career at 24 Gary and now have a knee replacement. so please shut up.
Football had a monopoly on the single greatest moment of elation that existed in sport...and got rid of it in pursuit of a perfection that doesn't exist. Genuinely so shite

Dear John… It’s not us. It’s you.
🖊️ Supporters, sign our open letter to John Henry and ask that he listens and thinks again about the club’s decision to increase ticket prices over multiple seasons.
We’ll be sending this to the club and owners soon.

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 ticket prices followed inflation since 1990, they'd be £10.20 today.
With revenue from commercial and TV now representing 83% of turnover, ticket price increases are not necessary ⬇️

Share this far and wide - on here, in your WhatsApp groups, on your social media.
No flags and Not A Pound In The Ground is the starting point.
If enough people do it, it will send a message to FSG: they got this one wrong.
@spiritofshankly and @_lfcsb offered to talk to the ownership again and that offer was ignored.
Fans said they wanted to protest. This is the start.
An update from the 3 groups who organised the protests last season - @WeAre1894@MCFCfoodbank & @tradeunionblues - with 7000+ new seats to fill & against a backdrop of global uncertainty we ask the club to think carefully about how they intend to fill the ground next year.
