People have a right to be annoyed by this and it’s right we’re discussing in the football forum.
Either all that “this means more” or that moral superiority we sometimes like to hold over fans is utter bullshit and we accept we’re just another plastic club that’s wants success at any cost and don’t care what our players - current or ex - do.
This does matter.
To lots of people - in different ways and for different reasons.
If you want to divorce Liverpool FC from politics, social responsibility, moral standing… we’ve become the cunts we accuse City & Chelsea of being.
If it doesn’t matter to you, read the room - walk away and find another time to express you opinions.
For me - I’d like the club and the players that represent the club to be better - it should mean more.
I think Hendo has made a mistake that’ll he regret - not financially, but he’s tarnished his reputation.
It’s a shame on many levels - footballing and non-footballing.
This is so far removed from reality.
I'm sorry, but some of you guys are finding it difficult cos you thought the club you loved was still the club of the 80s... its not, its moved on and suck at the gigantic capitalist nipple that's kept it alive.
It doesn't mean more.. it means the same, it means money.. lots of it.
You guys must be able to see that??
Football has lost touch, around the world, with its roots of working class. Its been sucked in by the billions and billions.. it from Mbappe to the United shambles over the Glazers.
And like someone mentioned earlier re a sociopolitical shift from the western powers to Middle East, its also been apparent that the shift from pure working class roots is at best on life support if not dead.
None of these people, bar genuinely maybe Gary Linekar, care. They'll wheel out the BLM/LGBT soundbites cos it's 'important' to show solidarity.. but they'll say the words but if it affects their livelihood then well the need to make millions and millions takes the pole position.
Like I said, if you're awake to this stuff you'll see the hoopla the LIV sports created. Column after column.. human rights, rage etc
Until they manage a deal where they work together.. it's all gone quiet now.
And I'm sorry it means more to you cos you've been hoodwinked.
And, read the room..
It's a discussion forum, feel free to disagree but stop being so childish and throwing insults and not engaging in the discussion at hand.
Rather than.
Hey read the room and leave us alone to wallow In our sadness over the loss of humanity as we know it
