Well played; I applaud you.

[muleskinner]

Hope these plans really kick off well now and get some results.

 

Just a small pendantic comment, they spelt Kyrgiakos wrong on the leaflet. Looks good though.

Leaflets, banners and chants?

 

It's all been done and will have minimal short term effect. I'm sure it gives those involved a shot in the arm, but in terms of forcing two ruthless LBO merchants out of a profitable football brand, it's small fry and nothing they haven't dealt with before.

 

Maybe they need a high profile front man and a bigger push behind the fan buy out or approaching prospective buyers/partners. It just seems like we're going round in circles without any real practical solutions - something they can say to the majority, look, this is the alternative. As it stands it still has the feel of an stuffy working mans club.

Keeping this going is worthwhile as its a reminder that we have not forgotten (a la the mancs) and they still have to deliver. If we don't do anything, they'll think they can do whatever they want. They need to know we are watching them and still close to breaking point.

Do people honestly think they'll not just do what they want, regardless of what people say, chant and print on leaflets?

 

The only thing they're bothered about is regular streams of cash. And ticket sales take care of that.

Protests work.

Apparently there was a march on Saturday - did anyone see it, or have any photos? Never noticed it myself...

[Flasher]

This is exactly the right approach. It will work, so long as momentum continues. Do it every game. Get people that are unclear on the situation to ask questions, wonder what's going on, and eventually the MAJORITY of fans will feel the same. Only then can real damage be done.

Hopefully it means they carry some weight but the cynic in me thinks it might just be PR from Purslow.

They still must carry some weight or he wouldn't get any PR

I don't think its a PR issue anyway. Ayres did the same and he didn't get any positive PR

True, hopefully it is genuine.

[Will]

Very glad to see that was just rumour not fact - never said it was going to happen on Saturday though!

Purslow has a hotline to the SOS?

Weapon.

What the f*ck are you banging on about now

[fyds]

I hope SOS grasp the idea and fact that the future of Liverpool football club is far beyond a local issue or concern.

[Redwire]

And did anyone get a leaflet? Never saw one of those either.

 

Yeah, I got one. There were quite a few held up round us during YNWA.

Have these been distributed to the media, perhaps with an unambiguous cover note?
