Media thread 2022/23

[Big Pussy Bonpensiero]

I think there's a change afoot. Eddie Howe in the DT this morning has a sizeable article which pulls no punches and NUFC are clearly not gonna sit back and take the shite that Klopp just flings around the place, sorry the shit that Klopp flings around the place that the rest of the nation completely misunderstands.

Eddie Howe won’t be there for long and wouldn’t surprise me when he does leave his tune will change sharpish about foreign owners and not giving managers enough time bla bla bla.

But it just goes to show if you don't sit back and take the shit that they fling they quickly get seriously rattled. This is the first time I can remember Liverpool being on the back foot with the media for a very long time. Why oh why didn't we do something similar 10 years ago?

In what way are Liverpool on the back foot with the media here?

The Times has completely removed their article, and every other paper is quickly filling up with articles on how he’s defiantly telling city he’s not xenophobic and taking action to clear his name.

Seen quite a few Liverpool fans claiming Samuel has been caught on super yachts in Abu Dhabi, fuck knows where they get that information from. I’m calling bullshit.

Agree likely bullshit.

They are definitely backpedalling furiously. The writing is on the wall for Klopp now. He's becoming a liability.

Who is he taking action against ? I missed that one.

And what a sane and rational individual he turned out to be

Yep, I remember that at the time. It was just after the CAS verdict and poor Ewan was gutted about the outcome so tried to smear Samuel with some completely unfounded nonsense. He then went on to say that he was going to do an article about it but when blues pushed him as to why he hadn't yet penned it, he went all quiet.

I see these days that he's gone into full QAnon conspiracy mode about Covid and the vaccines.

Wasn't he about to do a full 'expose' about us every day for about 6 months?...

I often wonder how much of a bubble we live in regarding all of this. It's clear to me that City, whether they think they should condemn chants or not, are simply not prepared to play the "Liverpool game", which basically involves having to apologise every time they get upset. I also wonder how Klopp can take legal action against thoughts, as I've seen nothing official about him being xenophobic.

But about the bubble - I think the tide has turned somewhat. Ask fans of all other clubs who they would back in this situation - I guarantee the vast majority have had enough of a certain fanbase too, and they're not even involved in all of this.

Nevertheless, the Liverpool media is too powerful, and their fanbase too large, for this to die down in the near future. I look forward to club apologies the next time any fans sing something nasty or any grafitti is found. That's how it works now, right?
