Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 25, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted January 25, 2023 Love to see the right and wrong Reds doing stuff like this. The sport needs more collaboration like this - and so do the two cities. https://news.sky.com/story/liverpool-and-manchester-united-fans-set-aside-rivalry-to-demand-action-on-club-ownership-12794512 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I know that saying Levy is tight could and often does play into an ugly antisemitic trope, and I should know better, but I've just seen someone say that he's so tight he made Everton pay for Danjumas medical and its really made me chuckle.

Well, I’m not sure Liverpudlians will welcome cockneys with open arms just yet!! But seriously this is wonderful and I sincerely hope it’s the first step in getting rid of leeches in football ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBacon Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Supporters Trusts do a lot of fantastic work together all the time, it just doesn't always get reported, so glad to see it actually is this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) It’s almost as if normal people can like and love a thing without being massive cunts! Next thing we know AEW fans and WWE fans will unite to admit that sexual harassment in the work place is a bit off.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 25, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted January 25, 2023 Really hope they can make a difference. Sadly, I fear they are outnumbered by swathes of fans across the globe that would be delighted if awful people buy their clubs if they thought it meant they will spend freely like FIFA career mode.

Absolutely! Blood money is dreadful! *Googles "Did Daniel Levy actually meet with the Qataris recently and is that good for Spurs?"*Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 As an old man with no kids, I have no idea how the younger generation see money clubs, or football in general. Is it a case of they couldn’t care as they have always known football as a rich clubs get success? Do they know the playing field is as unlevel as it’s ever been? Is it business first sport second?

My 9yo doesn't understand massively, but I'd wager a guess that slightly older kids will know more. She does know City have the most though and says thats unfair on everyone else. Her sister, 13 and largely apathetic about sport (and anything not to do with Arctic Monkeys) told me the other week when we were watching the World Cup and we were discussing PSG, Qatar, rights, Saudi ownership etc and I was explaining how much money is involved that they should "just get rid of all the money and give it to the women" which is a nice sentiment. (And then the whole bus cheered) 9yo also doesn't understand that if Spurs have the best stadium, and the best training facilities, and a couple of the best players in the world, and make loads of money, why they don't ever win anything. She'll be scratching ENIC OUT into the desks at school any day now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt there's large swathes of Newcastle and Man City fans all chortling away, claiming they're only piping up because they're not "in the money" at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Liverpool and United will have plenty of Middle Eastern money running through the clubs by the end of the year. It’s Sports Washing vs Hedge Fund Leveraged Buy Out Wankers. The whole thing wants ripping up and reformed but we all know that’s not going to happen.

My question is, will those same Liverpool and United fans kicking up a stink at the moment be saying the same thing if Saudi money comes knocking on their door? Interesting times. It all kind of makes me glad that in following my team I still need to give the rusty turnstile a right good shove, have the option of a pie or bovril at half time, and watch players who aren't millionaires. The English game is sadly becoming a right shitshow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
