If you remember?

Thousands of Liverpool fans voted with their feet in protest at ticket prices as Anfield witnessed its first walkout in its 132-year history.

Supporters’ groups organised the action for the 77th minute of the match against Sunderland after a £77 match ticket (up from £59) and a £1,000 season ticket for next season were announced this week.

The club FSG) argued the new structure - which includes 45% of match tickets decreasing in price, 64% of season tickets being reduced or staying the same in cost, better availability for local fans and around 1,500 £9 tickets for category C games – offers greater accessibility and affordability.

However, that was not enough to placate fans’ groups as upwards of an estimated 10,000 of the 44,179 inside the stadium got up and left their seats in the 77th minute, with long queues forming for the exit.

——

Good luck to any new owner wanting to increase season ticket and match ticket prices to increase matchday revenue. Not a chance wll that happen with the Cult.

And don’t forget, there is little on no future scope for increasing hospitality at Anfield once the Anfield Road stand is done.

Compare that to what City have done at the Etihad by increasing the hospitality and corporate massively. At times to to the detriment of our fans.

The demented cheerleader knew the writing was on the wall long before the end of last season, I think. So far this season he's been pointing accusatory fingers in our direction every time there's a camera nearby. He has been trying to shift the focus on us rather than accept his club are a busted flush.
I'd prefer the psychotic German to stay put because he is certainly losing his marbles and I want to see some spectacular fireworks before the men in white coats drag him kicking and screaming into his padded cell.

FSG are gaslighting their supporters with the ‘cannot compete’ line.

Last season they were 180mins away from the unprecedented English&european quadruple (or alternatively 4 penalties away from nowt), with the ‘best’ keeper, defence, midfield and attack ever assembled, led by the ‘best’ manager, the road to continuing success was laid out and there for all to see, and it was published by reams of ‘knowledgeable’ media, and regurgitated by the most ‘demure’, ‘intelligent’ and ‘realistic’ fanbase ever.

And now, 4 months down the line, FSG present financial tenders seeking partial share selling investment with an eye to potential full and complete sale, because ‘they can’t compete’.

Bollox, the financial tenders, haven’t just magically appeared in a few months, they’ve been thought of, discussed, sought backing, proposed and finally published in a timescale far longer than between the quadruple being on (winning the LC) and now.

As Martin Samuel accurately pointed out, it’s down to the continued failure of FSG and other leech US owners of getting the English game changed into a complete US style cartel of money extraction, no relegation, guaranteed income, a complete wankfest of a league competition - FFP (hijacked at conception), project big picture, European super league … the list of attempts at cartelship is long , with big and small steps.

…and still Liverpool fans don’t see it.

It's an odd tactic to say you "can't compete" if you're wanting to sell.

In other words "our investment has reached a ceiling and now we want to cash our chips".

If you were the person buying them you'd be using that to your advantage because it means you'd have to pump in huge amounts of money above the acquisition value in order to be competitive for the prizes that will make it financially viable.

I think that's great news though because it suggests a period of stagnation in which FSG won't put in any investment and no one will be willing to acquire the club at the price being demanded.

Lovely.
