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

[Jxg]

Yes. They conducted a reign of terror against them.

Good article here concerning their bullying and harassment of the local community....the ones they're going to donate £200K to tomorrow...or rather the paying public are, they're not....and it amounts to a spit in the ocean given the tens of millions of urban redevelopment (AKA urban destruction) they've benefitted from.

Are there no levels the Guardian will not stoop to to slag off LFC - maybe you should change your name back to The Manchester Guardian.

IT'S DER MANCS FAULT YNWA 96

To blame Liverpool FC for the decline in the area is errant nonsense

However, the above plan won't work because the real reason the residents won't move is because they're holding out for a higher price - all this nonsense about the club being responsible for the decline of the area is nothing more than special pleading by a handful of residents trying to cash in on the proximity of their houses to the ground.

Nivea,"grooming"supplier to lfc,ha ha ha!!!

Their promotions Dept are missing a trick, Nivea 'grooming Young Boys FC' would get loads of hits to their company website

 

[catcherintherye]

They've decimated a local community with their buying up and leaving to rot of hundreds of homes around their ground (and inviting anti-social behaviour into the whole district so they could force down prices and reduce compensation). They're utter charlatans. I said last week that no media would pick up on that contradiction at play, sadly that was right.

The whole event on Sunday was a manipulation of social problems for the enhancement of the image of a private business.

There was a piece in the Echo yesterday about the 'star studded events' movers and shakers off out in town that night soaking it all up. Just about sums the whole cynical event up. Spending a Kings ransom in their no doubt well stewarded and guarded exclusive private party...hours after a charity event for people living on the bones of their arse.

Well it's a very particular approach to tackling social problems they adopt. It is insincere and shows a contempt for the people who are blighted by the problems, as their concerns are ignored, while a great show is put on for outsiders to revel in the glory of the very institution that has caused the mess.

For anyone who is familiar with the book the Great Gatsby it is this all over. A show of wealth, crass tackiness and insensitivity being championed at the expense of the drones who have facilitated the monster. It's a vulgar picture.

Not a money grabber ....

Raheem Sterling has told BBC Sport he is not a "money-grabbing 20-year-old" after confirming he has turned down a new £100,000-a-week Liverpool deal.

He also says he will not discuss a new contract with the Reds until the summer, no matter how big a deal he might be offered in the meantime.

"It's not about the money at all," the England forward said.

"It's never been about money. I talk about winning trophies throughout my career. That's all I talk about."

He added: "I don't talk about how many cars I'm going to drive, how many houses I've got. I just purely want to be the best I can be."

Liverpool's last piece of silverware came in 2012, when they beat Cardiff on penalties to win the League Cup.

Sterling, [URL='http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/8541174.stm']who joined the Reds from QPR in 2010,

did not become a first-team regular until the following season.

"I don't want to be perceived as a money-grabbing 20-year-old," said the player, who has two years left on a contract worth £35,000 a week.

"I just want to be seen as a kid who loves to play football and to do the best for the team."

Earlier this season, Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said Sterling had been offered an "incredible deal for a young player" but now accepts talks will have to wait until the summer.

"I am sure it will be resolved and the concentration for Raheem is now on his football and it is clear the terms of when those talks will begin again," Rodgers said last month.

In the interview with the BBC, Sterling also said he would have accepted less than £100,000 a week had he been offered a new deal this time last year, when the Reds were chasing the Premier League title.

"If, at that point in time, I was offered a contract, I most definitely would have signed straight away, probably for far less money than being said now," he said. "I just think the timing was a bit off."

Sterling's future has been a source of almost endless speculation, with stories tipping him for a move to Manchester City, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

"I try to kill it off, but I don't think the public can see it that way," Sterling said. "I think they just see it as this 20-year-old boy being greedy.

"I just want to take the time to think about what I've achieved in my career so far, where I need to go and what I need to do to get better as a player."

Sterling said it was "quite flattering" to be linked with the Gunners, a team Liverpool visit in the Premier League on Saturday (kick-off 12:45 BST).

"I try to just block everything out and do well," said Sterling, who has 14 England caps.

"Next game is against Arsenal and I want to do my best. I won't be hiding. As I said, I'm just happy to be playing football."

In his interview, Sterling said one of his targets for the remainder of the season was to help Liverpool win the FA Cup.

Just seen that.

He's basically saying he would sign if Liverpool were to show ambition in signing players to replace the likes of Suarez and Gerrard and were now fighting for the title.

That's going to have the effect of pouring another few gallons of petrol on the fire.
