OWNERSHIP.
One word which means so much (especially in the eyes of the law).
IF we ALL (millions of fans) feel so greatly about this club.
Instead of paying for seats match after match after match for how many countless decades.
Why didn't WE buy and OWN IT?

Guess I'm a DICKHEAD for writing this too...
And wonder why business people take the PI$$ out of our club? :down:

Business people are taking the rise out of our club ,that's why we're demonstrating ,and your talent for supposition even manages to supersede the improvement in your guesswork

I wish our supporters had, had the same level of conviction 2 years ago when we sold one the best players that had played for this club and replaced him with dross like Balotelli, Lambert and Origi. :no

FSG should have been booted out of Liverpool the day we weren't able to land Sanchez in an exchange deal for Little Luis.

Making you lads over-pay to watch this level of s**tness in person since then has been the final straw.

I'm not sure what else it is going to take to make you all see that these yank parasites are no worse then the previous idiots we had..........

Their recent veiled threats against us, should have awoken most of you by now.

If worldwide we have (now this is pure guesswork) say 4 million and they all paid for the ownership of the club £50 and if it's going to be really democratic only one share per person that's 200 million. Then the fans would really own the club obviously there's abuse somewhere but am sure this could be ironed out. And all profits are reinvented into the club, no share dividend so that would stop abuse a lot. This is only a idea as I am no mathematician, accountant, lawyer etc. Would/could it work?

as you can see (some links are not the latest), we do not have the most expensive tickets in the league.
gunners have the most expensive tickets for mean and season tickets.

under FSG, we sell big and reinvest the money back into the team.
i am not siding with the americans but throughout our history they are the owners who invested the most in the club,
with a new stand coming in, we will boost our capacity to 54000, putting ourselves on the same level with gunner and city and one step closer to self supporting/sufficient.

if you think our fans are the 12th man and can push the team for an extra mile then the opposite must be true when they walk out on the team.
i am not saying the fans were wrong in protesting the tickets prices but certainly there's another way to protest without affecting our team's morale and confidence.

heck! when i saw fans walking out on my stream, i thought it was sunderland fans protesting big sam's team poor showing. i never thought it was our own fans walking out!

I think the main issue is that we are a poor/average team. Had the owners bought in some real talent this last window as a show of faith, I would bet that yesterday's demonstration would not have happened. We have too many average players for the fans to make compromises especially considering that the club is worth more now than it did when the current owners bought the club. In business you can raise the price but you need to give the " customer" more, not less. We are far more average than we have been for a long while and it is hard to take.

The only reason we gave up a two goal lead yesterday is because we are a poor side and we lack quality, not because 10,000 fans walked out early. Can't save, can't defend and can't score,that is the real issue. The reason 10,000 fans walked out is because we are a poor team. Despite what most will say, if we had a good team with quality throughout that demonstration would not have happened. It is hard to watch average, especially when you have to pay more to watch it.

I am interested to see how the owners respond as I think they are afraid of the fan base and I would bet that they took notice. Bottom line is that if some fans stop buying tickets other fans will replace them, such is the global reach of our club. Losing the fan base however will have a far greater impact.

Sadly will not be in the CL next year so we will have to do with " no good players will want to play for us as we don't offer CL football" and will have to pin our hope on the following year..... again! They should have gambled on the the Brazilian.

"I'm not a customer!" says the man who buys a ticket to get him in the ground to watch the match.
"I'm not a customer!" says the man who buys a programme before the game begins.
"I'm not a customer!" says the man who buys food and drink at half time.
"I'm not a customer!" says the man who buys merchandise from the club shop after the game
"I'm not a customer!" says the man who buys LFC tv to watch the match he has paid to watch
"I'm not a customer!" says the man who buys a subscription for the supporters club
"I'm not a customer!" says the man who buys a ticket to go to the LFC museum
Can you dig it?

Spokesman Jay McKenna said: "We are happy with yesterday's demonstration and we are pleased with the number of supporters who took part.

"The moment which preceded the walk-out also showed the strength of feeling, with the very loud, audible chants aimed at the directors' box. But the protest was aimed just as much at the owners because the decision of the prices is one made by Fenway Sports Group and the ownership of the club.

"It is a good indication that supporters are very angry at prices and this will just be the start of taking more action.

"We have got Manchester City and Chelsea at Anfield so those two league matches - where prices are still going to be on the forefront of people's minds - will be opportunities where we will discuss what action we take next.

"For us, it is unequivocal: this is the start. A walkout of Anfield it is unprecedented - it has never happened before - and I can't think of an occasion where it has happened in such numbers in another league ground in the UK."

I personally think its important that every fan realises that what we do now is pivotal to the future of this club ,and the game we all love is in real danger of ostracising and practically evicting the souls who have for countless years breathed life into this club.

It will be interesting and exciting to learn what they have planned for the future.
Hopefully it will be something that is inclusive of 99.9% the LFC fanbase. :buttrock
