Yes but the ‘we hate Torys’, and much worse (Maggie Thatcher hatred) have always been thrown about by the ‘we’re not English were socialist scousers’ brigade, so that myth and Liverpool being a club for the people is now dead and buried with the clubs actions wanting a government handout!

This will be irrelevant of what your players might do in hindsight to repair the PR damage done.

Haha get over yourself, the owners have very different views to the majority of the fanbase, they're US hedge fund people ffs. Like most in business they dont forgive a flying feck apart from making moolah.

See the disgust the fans see this decision, I've not seen many, if any, defending it.

So dont tar us with the same brush as those very small number of mercenaries running our club.

As for govt handouts, I totally disagree with it, but they have paid into the pot, therefore whether we like it or not they're entitled to use it.

Its morally wrong though.

Btw, the hypocrisy of you and other retards on social media, have you forgotten about all the sign on jibes etc that's been thrown at us for many decades?
 
Not everyone in Liverpool is a socialist.
But agree the bail out is a disaster PR wise.
I must say that I can’t belive there wasn’t someone in the meeting in Liverpool before they set this in motion that never said “ just a minute is this really nessesary given the damage it may do to the reputation of the club.”
If there wasn’t that’s poor.
If there was and he / she was ignored that’s even worse.

I suppose this is the result of being owned by an investment sports company based abroad (USA), no thought towards the history or beliefs of what Liverpool has been built upon, it sees the football club only as a vehicle to invest in and get a return from, nothing else matters, it’s the bottom line or nothing, so if there’s handouts to be had, they’ll grab them, and to hell with the consequences!!

Hopefully in the future we won’t have to have the clubs morals & values rammed down our throat.
The Liverpool way ?
 
Would love to see his club take some severe action but they won't. Flouting the rules on corona and with sex workers are two big issues surely but bet aside from a maximum club fine there won't be any other action

What use are fines, paying thousands for a couple of tarts shows they have no value towards money, as they’re dripping with it.

Even if it ends up with a chArity I bet he and those that get fined fiddle it through their accounts anyway.

Flog em, birch em ?

Club owners dont always refelect fanbases.

Unless Roman wrote the Foreword for "defenestration of black Parisians from locomotives" and I missed it - slight poetic licence used.(y)

Well yes I don’t think that’s ever been denied.
Not as bad as the owner of Newcastle who has done the same thing.
It’s been very quiet about the other PL teams that have also done this before us.
And imo more will follow, .

I announced that Spurs had done it, possibly first, but some on here poo poo’d it, not sure why you think it’s worse that Newcastle has done it also, do they have a history of presenting themselves as a ‘people’s club’ or had just announced profits in excess of 40m?

Liverpool are the biggest surprise amongst those that have made this decision, irrelevant of who else may follow, it will be yourselves in the headlights and fans of other clubs will jump on any & every opportunity to have a dig, and no doubt you’ll be reminded on the terraces when we resume to normality.

If your clubs internal PR machine wasn’t consulted or were out voted by higher powers based overseas, then is this an indicator of what is to come and the fabric of the club built by fans starts to erode as the owners clearly show no thought process or relationship between themselves and the fans and will only ever do what is best for their margins, irrelevant of the PR consequences, so have the owners showed their true colours in this scenario, and if so, what could it mean in the future when things don’t go as well as they are currently, do they have a sharper edge to these rounded corners we’ve only seen so far, in that, when things stutter or fall away, the investments slow or get withdrawn and you get sold off, (how many years did we hear this from opposing fans towards Chelsea), isn’t that what investment companies do, but not so much private owners, they either invest & build success to sell at huge profits or dump when it becomes a drain, or have the owners become PL football fans and bought into the hype, but this decision would say not, wouldn’t it?

Where did you copy and paste this from Fishy? ???

Peoples Club?? Wrong club Fishy, they're across the park ?

I'm sure we'll cope with the "bantz", I just hope whatever ditty's are made will be originals and funny.....

The fabric of the club will not erode, us fans will not let it happen. We will continue to hold the "owners" accountable and any decision they make will be challenged, just like this one has.

Owners true colours?? We all know these are in it for the money, like many other PL club Owners. They may not have the same affinity to us as say The Moores Family did but I dont expect them too.

The owners are primarily an investment group, these are very wealthy investors. Their aim is to be successful on and off the pitch to make as much dollar as they can.
If things start to go pear shaped on and off the pitch they wont lose money, that's business.

They can still be "fans". No owner makes business decisions with their fans hat on. Any financial business decision is made in the interests of the financial side of the business. Football has changed of fans owning football clubs, millionaires arent enough in this billionaires game

This lot have done some great stuff with communities/fans/city etc and I'm sure they'll continue to do so but they've also made some seriously stupid decisions which the fans have rightly opposed and held them accountable.

The supporters union has approached the club and will hold them accountable.

If only all owners were as good as Roman eh.....

I meant the owners were not as bad as Ashley imo of course.
But we don’t see what they do in the States or elsewhere so not really qualified to comment.
They are buisness people and take monetary decisions.
We won’t be the first club to take taxpayers money and won’t be the last.
But that’s got nothing to do with the fans.
I haven't heard one in favour of this yet, in fact quite the opposite.
I would put Newcastle and other PL teams in the same boat as us , greedy owners but nothing to do with the fans.
 
I don’t copy & paste or exclusively use Google, I don't need to, I've history ?
Just had a quick Google and have a question for you.
Have Chelsea ever used taxpayers money to pay staff wages to train prisoners to be football coaches ?
I don’t belive all I read in the papers so some clarity would be good.
