Liverpool have had to face the fact that no ordinary, working class, republican, anti-royalist, fair play club can compete in a game run by reactionary, royalist, elitist elements, even with the help of American billionaires. Despite heroic efforts to insist on reasonable transfer fees and to treat players with respect it has become clear that nothing can stop the rise of new clubs financed by oil money which not only buys FIFA, UEFA, the PL, the EFL, the RSPCA, clubs which inflate sponsorship deals and even bought the referee on Saturday. It is a sad day for traditional football clubs and for UEFA's traditional football values. To any interested parties FSG will not consider bids of under $5 billion.
