Do Or Die Time?
« on: January 15, 2008, 06:50:28 pm »
And I'm not talking about tonight.

I'm talking about full stop. The option to fuck football - the sport that has taken up so much of my time and money that I often don't even have - to fuck it off completely. It would be easy to quote the famous of all the Shankly quotes at a time like this. So easy, it's not worth me typing it out. But these American owners have come here pretending to know the values of this club. But it's not something you can see from abroad. It's not something you can get into. It's a way of life. You earn a living, you eat food, you drink drink and you support Liverpool Football Club.

We knew we had to move on amd the irony is we knew we had to move on to something that is so anti-everything most of us grew to love about the sport. Artsy-fartsy and prancy bullshit or not, it was the working-classes haven from reality. A glimmer of hope, a bit of joy. A fucking great way to end a shit week, to spend a couple of hours with the lads and support players that represented your area. You had a loyalty to your city. To your area. When Liverpool beat Manchester United or City, Newcastle or Birmingham, we were getting one over on that city. Now what have we become? Billionaires playthings, following overpaid primadonnas who show no loyalty so why the fuck should you?

Gillett and Hicks appear to be the extreme of what is wrong with modern-day footballing owners. Clearly only in it for the money, looking at every avenue in order to bleed everybody in sight dry. All week, the argument against putting our foot down and making a stand is "you don't want to piss them off". Fuck it. Are we gonna let these c*nts ruin the finest fucking football club in the land while we sit on our hands?

The shit has hit the fan. Time to show these Yank twats that they've picked the wrong fight.

An absolute impossible task. Its an era like being relegated (ala Leeds & Man City). The club stays in your heart longer than individuals populate the board room.

Fuck the game off and they'll just fill your seat with another daytripper from down south or from Asia or Scandinavia. Won't make any difference to them at all. In fact they'll be made up. That's the Glazer model. Hicks and Gillet want to see the uppity scousers out of the stadium altogether.

They have no commodity (what a shitty word) without the real supporters of the club.

They need to learn that if they fuck with us, they are biting off more than they can chew. I can't buy into the idea that we should forgive and forget them, this is already part of a catalouge of errors that will only get bigger.

Well said Garsonite - I think the phone in yesterday and the papers today will give the twats an inkling that all isn't right in their money garden.

Im gettin pissed off myself. Too much money. Those SKY bastards have ruined our game.

Clubs now look at turnover more than trophies- do you think Arsenal are bothered that they hadnt won anything of note since 2004? No, becasue they are making shit loads of money because of the corpoarte hacks.

The people like Hicks, Gillet and all other chairman don't care about atmosphere, local boys going the game, keeping ticket prices down. They don't want the lad from Breck Road going the chippy before the game, then the boozer, then the game and out back to the pub.

They want the fans who go the museum, go the club shop, buy a top with the all the logos and and a name on the back, a keyring for Uncle Jimmy, then buy a pie and a coffee before the game and another pie at half time.

It's lost its soul. It's a fashion. A fad. No loyalty, support the best. No patience. Nothing.

Our game is dead.

I think Jo and Durango did a good job yesterday on the Liverpool FC TV channel one. I didn't see it, but from what I've heard on here some people didn't hold back.

I'm more worried about the supporters at Anfield. I've seen a change in supporters, particularly after the manc game this year where a lot were coming out of the ground laughing and joking. Those would be the same that will get to the match a minute before kick-off, won't sing a word during the game, will leave to get to the queue for hotdogs early, will also try beat the traffic home and probably aren't aware/bothered about what's happening off the pitch. If that's what G&H use as their representative sample of supporters we haven't got a prayer.

I thought Johno & the other fella (cant remember) were pretty much defensive of the yanks...sadly.

Yeah, Joanne, she posts on here as JFT96-ONEDAY.

I'm hoping that because it was on the official channel and not on something like City;

a) Parry will have heard it and will feedback to his overlords

and/or

b) They heard it for themselves

very well said.  this thread was shaping up like a meeting of the people's popular front of judea.  ::)

banners, chants for rafa, humiliation for g&h every time they show their faces. 
Rather a day as a lion than a lifetime as a sheep.

Not an option really. The club needs constant investment. DannyD had some figures earlier in another thread showing how we would need X amount of money to buy the club, then X amount for the stadium and then money for new players.

''I have been the the mountain top''

I remember when United fans said the same thing. Talking about boycotts and refusing to part with their money.
2 years later, they are busy filling their 74000+ stadium every game and watching their team buy big name after big name.

At the end of the day...there is nothing really anyone can do. They own the club, the will hire and fire as they please and we'll just have to deal with it.

What about the idea of fans buying the club, and then we can sell 49% of the shares to a rich LFC Businessman, but the fans will still be the majority stake holders?
