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

[daza_1973]

What I don't get is that statement talking about losing revenues and loss of earnings etc.

They are European and world champions. They are two games away from being English champions.

They aren't a poor club ffs

Not poor, just morally bankrupt.

What about an unconscious one?

Depends if you count his Mum or Sister when they're sleeping.

Kuyts finally caved in and had some cosmetic work done then.

Well said Homer.

When most of their fans on social media, including the reds I know, plus the likes of Carragher, Sam Quek, Brian Reade and seemingly the entire red-supporting media (bar John Barnes who defended the decision) were coming out in unison to slate the decision - it was obvious they would be forced into a retraction at some point.

Their American owners clearly made the decision from a purely financial perspective, rather than a moral or ethical one. If they hadn’t reversed the decision, they would categorically have lost more money than they would have saved from the original decision.

So again, the decision to retract isn’t a sudden regaining of a sense of morality, it’s just another financial one....

We get it. Do you not understand that everyone knew that they would have to reverse their position?

Another one

They've come to the correct decision in the end under huge pressure from their own fans and lambasted by the local paper - it only took an avalanche of bad publicity and the threat of a permantly blackened image.

The correct course of action or rather inaction was obvious but their instinct was to choose the blatantly wrong one and they were called out for doing so.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if some of their sponsors weren't too happy at the bad publicity and collateral damage inflicted on them, perhaps pulling out was after all financially better for them too and so for them a no brainer. .

Do you not understand that everyone knew that they would have to reverse their position?

No. It’s just my incredibly perceptive nature and exceptional grasp of business ethics, finances and the modern game.

Modest, too.

 

[The binman chronicles]

What a lovely club thinking of the people without the need for them telling them were wrong in the first place...Oh wait.

Praising them now for their u-turn is akin to praising someone for having second thoughts about killing someone because the gun jammed.

Their PR machine will be on overload.

The title celebration scenes when the league restarts will be truly sickening now.

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

Anyone who thinks this is them suddenly growing a conscience as opposed to being wellied by Nike needs to give their head a wobble.

Good point.

Nike got loads of grief over Kapernick didn't they.
Can't afford any errors with this new deal.

They’ve backtracked because they’ve been utterly rounded on by almost everyone, including their own fanbase, and they’ve had to.

I’m not sure Levy, Ashley or some of the other big corporate businesses will follow the same path, mind.

not barnsey though , he had their back
