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


Inappropriate Language
Let’s never forget this: it’s a fuxking global pandemic, every club remaining dignified, we criticise EFC justifiably all the time but we are great with this stuff off the pitch.

So the first step our delightful neighbours do: they go and tell their employees (only the working class ones), they are to be furloughed, we can’t afford it, sorry ‍♂️. so if u earn £300 a week we can’t afford to pay u while we pay these players (who are doing [Poor language removed] all) £200,000 a week. But it’s ok cos the internet red nazi bullies went into overdrive and defended it, and even better, SOS - Spirit of Shankly, that bastion of socialism, literally justified the most unsocialist move you can do, until they realised everyone was against it and they backtracked in 24 hours. Yes that’s spirit of shankly who sang Munich air crash songs at a meeting and sky sports news and granada reports regularly invite on as a voice of lfc fans.

That’s what we are up against, they share a city with us, yet are so, so different to us. I am proud to be a blue.
 
Oliver Holt is such a confused specimen. He's written a column today saying that plans to rush the season back are premature. His opinion seems to be that calling the season now (he previously praised the Belgium league for doing this, despite its format being completely different) is the best way forward.

I never thought I'd have to explain to a professional sports journalist why calling the league with a team in the relegation zone having played a game less than the side above them isn't the best idea.

What an unfortunate scruff he is.

He's a Kopite

He pretends to be a Stockport County fan, but I think it's glaringly obvious who he actually supports

This is sadly what we are up against when it comes to the media

It's infested with them

He probably became indoctrinated whilst at The Mirror, the most anti-Everton paper on the shelves

I don't think he's confused at all: he first wanted the season to be restarted so his precious reds could win it, now he's thinking they should just void it because, like in France, Liverpool will be handed the title.

He's not being subtle about it at all.
 
The fact is that there appears to be no provision in the rules for anything other than a normal finish of playing all games home and away in order to declare a result. Therefore, there is no other way out for the PL but to either play all the games when possible, (which brings in contract issues amongst others) or declaring it null and void. Nothing else is in the rules, nothing, nada, not a jot.

Don't understand this.

From a business point of view it makes sense. Pay out of your own pocket or the government pays 80% and you cover the remaining 20%.

Pensioners have more money then any other age group, I know people with 5 or 6 houses on rent, yet they still receive winter fuel allowance and state pension when a lot of them don't need it and why not it's free money. No one goes to them why do you take state money

If Liverpool council offered 50m to moshiri for free towards the stadium, I'd take it, it's not your money.

Im actually surprised every team in the prem didn't furlough staff.
 

The way some of the RS fans/media are asking to finish the season on PPG as the fairest route is absolutely baffling to me. We've got 10 games to go, teams in the relegation and european places might have worse PPG so far because they've had a harder front-ended schedule than some of the others. It's just baffling to ignore the nuances in every clubs PPG.

Completely different league of course but it would be interesting if someone did the calculations on the PL that Lille have done on the French league. Season was recently voided and the current standings were taken for champions, relegations, CL spots etc. However, the club worked out that "71% of teams changed position in the final 10 matchdays across the last 10 years."

How can leagues possibly be decided this way?

Because morally it's the wrong thing to do. If only the banks acted with the same moral standard when they ruined his countries economy.

The idea of asking playing and coaching staff to take a 10% pay cut so that the club can pay the rest of the staffs wages whilst there is a drop in revenue should not be one that needs much consideration.

Leave that money to those that most need it, if there is some left over, pump it into the NHS
