they know their customers will lap up this sycophancy without question. They tried to steal a sport from its roots and destroy a 133 year old institution for their own end. Shameful six.

The likes of Spirit of Shankly will be spitting blood at Klopp's and now Henderson's comments.

The campaign they might have been organising is now cut off at the legs.

As you say, the vast majority of their fans though wont give a damn - they probably would have applauded the attempt by FSG to bring in billions.

It's going to be interesting to watch how that fissure develops between SoS and FSG and with the manager in particular. There's defo a rupture there now.

What's hurting them is the spectacle each tea will be getting from protesting though.
They are genuinely in a catch 22 here, where the spoilt gets cant have their cake and eat it.
They will obviously not want to be shown up as less radical and authentic than Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea etc. They will also not want to cause disunity at the club. They cant do both of those.
This might sound odd, but a lot of those there today are attention seekers. But Liverpool will have plenty of them.
Groups like Spion Kop and SOS have already made their positions publicly known, they want them gone. To back down now, when all other fan groups are hardening will make them look weak.

Going to be fun watching it all play out.

Defo this.

They are now in a position where the manager and captain have told the fans to stand down. If they protest too long and too hard then they run the risk of alienating the majority of fans they seek to spearhead.

There'll be an obligatory demo tomorrow and it;ll go back in the box. For now.

But the fault lines are there now. That will get worse with each passing poor result or failed transfer bid.

They are house divided.

The stand will be a token gesture of defiance. There'll be no Hicks and Gillett type campaign to get FSG out. The manager and captain have marked their cards on that today ahead of tomorrow's game.

Their reddit Customers are loving it

 

Morning Legacy Lurkers - are you still filled with pride at the actions of your club and its owners?

Are you happy it was all just a "mistake" because they have said sorry, even though it was three years in the making, and involved many clandestine meetings behind my club and the fans backs, to carve up the game we all love? Hell of a mistake if you ask me.

Are you inspired by the words of your Manager and club captain, who have come out to support with their deification of the owners and the Stooges who work for them, after the coup that was attempted?

Ask yourselves - do "good people" try to do the things they have done just for money?

Your club - its owner, executives, your manager and captain are an absolute disgrace, for their actions and the stance they have taken following this whole despicable episode.

So much for Klopp being a fan-manager and a man of the people, who loves the fans and football - he is a phoney and a fraud, just as is your captain.

You should also be clear - fans didn't stop this terrible thing from happening - the authorities and government did - Liverpool FC do not give a toss what you or I say, think or feel - we don't matter to them, they have shown us that in their actions - forget their "words" in the assinine, insincere apology to you (not to me and the rest of the football world however?! Methinks they want you to go back to being good customers sharpish).

Don't buy the platitudes - Stand against them all - the owners, your manager and your beloved captain and protest peacefully* to have them all removed, or you really are much worse "fans" than I ever thought possible.

Personally, I couldn't follow my club if they had done this.

* Please also stay away from fireworks, walls and paving stones during any protests - we know you have form there.
 
When Klopp was at my second team Dortmund, I actually had a lot of time for him. Anyways I never thought Klopp would go full establishment -

In a week where Liverpool's ownership has come under heavy criticism from the fans, Klopp hoped the bond between the team and the supporters might get "stronger" off the back of a tough week.

"Our owners are not bad people -- they just made a bad decision but let's carry on," he said.

The owners decisions are NOT defendable. It's not 'water under the bridge', the owners schemed to take everything for themselves. Yes the owners are 'bad' people and its not a difficult thing to say. If you don't want to say it, at least dont try to mediate the situation.
