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

Makes a nice distraction from Covid I suppose

What is a legacy fan? I'm seeing this a lot. Is this just a fan?

Fan who supports there team with a view to tradition, being a member of the community etc. Essentially local support as opposed to the world wide fan base who at best are daytrippers but would usually be found around the world, sat in front of the TV, foam hand on with bucket of pop corn and club branded cola close by.

....I suppose you could call them the traditional fan base as opposed to the ’consumers’ the new league will attract.

I hope so, but I can't see it to be honest.
I and all other City fans just cannot get our heads around why we have done it?
UEFA waged war with City on FFP for over five years. They just didn't want to defeat City,
they wanted to completely destroy them. Fine them millions of pounds. Ban them for years. Force the
top players to leave etc and they were directly led & encouraged by the owners of Liverpool & United.
City spent over £50m in legal fees to fend them off. And now we jump into bed with them!
It just doesn't make any sense at all. Why not just let them go and at a stroke become the good guys
of football? Undo all of the negativity toward the club by the media, press and football fans in general?
Even if City do bail out, it's way to late for any redemption. The damage is well and truly done.
We have talked about football killing itself for years but on Sunday for those six clubs, teams and fans it died.
If we win the league now, then so what? The Champions League - so what? Carabao Cup - who really gives
a toss about that that anyway? It's over. City had a truly golden opportunity to become the new poster boys
of professional football. Instead they chose the money. Unforgivable.

Great Post mate, top top post

So let me get this straight. In Jurgen’s world, attacking a bus with bricks is fine, but shouting at players to oppose corporate greed is over the line? Wearing shirts to support racism is fine, but wearing shirts that oppose corporate greed is over the line?

Their hypocrisy and general tone deafness really know no bounds.

Not seen a single red i know moan about it. The blues are kicking off.

Old school rs bro in law just sent me a petition to sign against the ESL

I agree. One of my kopite mates said this morning that he was pleased Klopp spoke out, to a certain degree yeshe did but the focus of his rage was Gary Neville. Klopp takes RS critisicm personally. The owners he said are decent people, but they're not. Neville didnt reveal a lot of the bad stuff he could have about them like the evictions and the smashing up of coaches etc, he could have said a lot more. Youll never walk alone is a soundbite and has been for decades. Carragher on the otherhand saying that Liverpool fans revere their managers unlike any other supporter was just typical. KAGS.

He's a yes man. A company man.

Expect NOTHING from Klopp.

He is a bought and paid for whore who is now struggling to remain relevant to this debate.

Attacking his own fans taking flags away. That would spell the end for most other Liverpool managers. The Kopites need to stop drinking the Kool Aid with Klopp. "What he's trying to say, but cant, is that he's opposed to the super league...blah blah blah" No he isn't. He's on FSGs side. Only a complete cultist wouldn't see that.

Clueless

 

[davek]

I mean if Klopp does walk over this, it just implodes.

Never in a million years. And if he does quit anytime soon it'll because his team is 'kin rubbish and his head's gone like King Kenny's.

 

[davek]

Clueless

'kin scab.

 

[Connor]

God I cannot wait to BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO them at Goodison

 

[nsno-chris]

I mean, they literally live in an alternative universe

 

[dublinbluenose]

Carragher there last night: "I'm telling you now; those fans at Liverpool, if the owners cause this to lead to Klopp leaving the club, have previous experience of tearing a stadium apart".

Tell us something we dont know, Jamie.

FYP

Good excuse for him, use the ESL as an deflection from the real reason.

I tend to agree just more of an "if" which is key. If he were to go though, I think you're looking at open warfare, probably worse than under H&G.

There are 2 possibilities where he might;
1) (Less likely) he actually has some principles, has it out with the owners today and feels it's not for him.
2) He can see the Bayern job, knows if he taints himself with this it will not look great, and can see an easy out on this so plays the game.
