ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 2

I thought this in an FT interview given in the summer from LFC CEO Peter Moore was disgusting, btw:

'“If you are not a £500m football team you are not going to win anything,” he recently told a business audience in the city. Mr Moore said the Liverpool “brand” was stronger than ever because it was rooted in the city and the club history included triumph and tragedy — 96 fans died at the FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough in 1989.'

Talking about boosting '"the brand" on the back of that event. Repugnant. How was that not picked up at the time?

That club's always been a money grubbing cess pit since it was first shat out in 1892..

It must be great living in "their world" where they have won the treble for the last 10 years, not caused one bit of trouble and are the noisiest most loyal ultras on the planet, who all live within a 2-mile radius of anfield. I think it's called being in a utopian state of mind.

No mention of the other tragedy there, Dave.

The one that dare not be spoken off.

They're an industry. Which is why it's completely laughable that some of their fans try and portray Liverpool as David battling 3 or 4 Goliaths in the PL to win the title back for the "family club".

They are literally mammon. They have revenue that dwarf's all but a handfull of clubs world-wide. It'll be up to about £450M this year after the CL run they had, and they're looking at annually getting revenue up near the £500M where the Bayern's and United's and Madrids are once they get the big music gigs up and running.

“We have a local heart with a global pulse” their CEO said in the summer in the Financial Times.

No. They are an elite corporation who have outgrown football and become a money making machine. And their crank fans with their "Against Modern Football" pose know it.

A bunch of fakes and phonies.

Still only second to Manure amongst the biggest clubs in the Prem.
Four Four Two magazine done a ranking. I guessed we would come out seventh, and lo and behold, we were.

I hate Liverpool matchdays in the city, it's a proper one-up-manship in bellwhiffery from Friday nights till the last flight Sunday.
Seen a family before fully be-draggled in scarves and kits wandering around with inane smirks on their smug middle class faces pointing at things, it was 10 to 8 in the morning ffs.
"What's that daddy?"
"Tabatha, Come away from the sleeping gentleman"

Half a dozen other mutants standing on lime Street steps doing selfies, Essex accents ringing out with scarfs aloft.... Jesus wept

Spot on, I effectively swerve town from Friday to Sunday, when the RS have a Saturday home game.

I do love seeing them having to consult their Liverpool tourist guides, as they wander lost around the city centre.

Definitely a predominance of bourgeois beauts, who would seem more comfortable at the opera or ballet.
