ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

The rest of the country's fans awaiting the state of the media on Monday if they beat Palace...

there will hardly be a mention of the champions or the sorrow of being relegated.
old horsey teeth on bbc breakfast is already with the speech,wetting herself ready to explain how big jurgs reds overcame all the odds,never give up,finished potless but won the 4th place dining at europes top table cup!
 

I am i just used parentheses to signal the difference between the american way of saying you "guys" as opposed to "lot".
I think its barking up the wrong tree (hopefully, no explanation required into that expression) to probe the use of "you guys" and "you lot". The term "you lot" is exclusively used on this forum followed by a critical statement and, moreover, only in the third person plural ie "them lot" as opposed to the more pejorative and much preferred shortcut "the RS".

You feed your pigs caviar mate?
 

What a climb down from their demands that's been from SoS etc. FSG merely created a "fans board" for them, and that doesn't go as far as even what Chelsea fans got out of their board.

Do us a favour lad and predict them to win on sunday.

I put something on this yesterday mate as soon as it was announced. They've basically conceded on all of their key demands. Not only are they not getting 2 board members, it doesn't look like they are getting 1. They have "won" the concession that somebody can attend board meetings and give their advice to the Liverpool board. We can all guess how much credence that will be given.

The Liverpool supporters board thing is bizarre. It reminds me of the Duma in Tsarist Russia, where people met but weilded absolutely no power. Lenin and the Bolsheviks used to boycott it as it was utterly pointless (and just went through the Soviets instead).

It will just be a talking shop. FSG will also use the fan rep to try and sell the next sell out as well. I've seen this with trade union bureacrats before, they get a cushy little number and are then used to discipline the workers to accepting the management demands.

What I do find interesting is the demand that has been "won" is that FSG have given them the right to represent the fans and that to be enshrined as and when they leave. It's interesting that they have been willing to concede pretty much anything tangible accept for the right to keep their position as unelected representatives of the fans. That gives you an idea of where their priorities are.

I actually think you will see quite a big rank and file split soon though. Loads of their fans are responding to the news (aside from congratulating them on supposed victories that they haven't won) by essentially stating SOS can force FSG to heavily back Klopp now and sign Mbappe. In the eyes of the out of town loser who's attached themselves to LFC, thats all they want now. They're really not interested in "fan democracy" (and why would they be, as all fan democracy means in this instance is a group of unelected bureacrats get to build their own position more) but merely about spending. SOS will have no interest in pushing that, and even if they did FSG are not going to take them in any way seriously.

Do you know much about that Jay Mckenna fella who seems to bounce around as a mouthpiece for the group? The guy who works for the TUC allegedly building the young workers movement over a number of years, when young people joining unions continues to stagnate. I'd love to know what value he has added in his role.
