Luton’s plea for financial help from Liverpool is turned down

[checkpoint]

bugger luton...what has luton ever done for us?

The aquaduct? And sanitation. And the roads.

But apart from the sanitation, the aqueduct, and the roads...

We'll have to beg to differ on this, I believe in being 'the better person' in situations, just cos someone has letyou down you dont tar everyone with the same brush. I also always believe that as LFC we are better than all other clubs, in attitude as well as in everything else.

Perhaps those days are well & truly over, perhaps I'm just deluded, but I like it that way.

No probs and soz for the abuse!

I'm all for us helping other clubs in certain ways, but they seem to basically be asking us for a cash handout which is not something we should do IMO. When we donate money then it should go to charities, not to help out mismanaged clubs.

Did Luton ask for the tie to be switched to Anfield or a bigger neutral venue? Hasn't this been done for clubs in the past?

my thoughts exactly, if they wanted more money, why not switch it to anfield and get 4x the gate money, or even another ground that is bigger than 10,000, there's plenty around. They're a gang of cheeky ****ers for even asking in the first place, it's their own fault they're in that position, so why should we cover for the mis-management of their club, and that blackwell is a cheeky **** as well.

if they drew some no name club instead of us they wouldn`t be asking.they thought they`d won the lottery drawing us.we give them money and every other no name club comes begging.**** em.

tough one this.

on the one hand its not LFC's fault that luton have been financially (and morally possibly) mismanaged. on the other, the top clubs earn a lot more than the little clubs and 100k is a drop in the ocean for us.

i'd have happily had the tie at our place to help their coffers, but i doubt that was on the table.

either way, its negative publicity for the club at a time when we're under attack from all angles (not least within too)

But that`s the point.If they are financially embarrased then they should ask for a venue change instead of a handout.



Am i wrong????

With all the "stupid money" being wasted in the top tier of English football it's sad that the bigger clubs can't see that the game will suffer ultimately if teams go out of existence.
What about the history of the game? Of course it's not LFC's responsibility to give Luton handouts, but I'm very surprised by this news.
There should be money from Sky filtering down the leagues, it's a joke the amount of money in the premiership

Yes, because the FA won't sanction a venue change anymore unless it's for legitimate safety reason

That 'Drama Queen' and 'Dickhead' FFF does.

He also donated money to a Charity in memory of my mate's wife who died aged 39 leaving a 3 year old son when he probably couldn't afford it himself. Off point slightly I know.

Personally, I think Luton can get to **** but just because someone might think it would be an honourable gesture that may just hold onto some kind of dignity in a game ruled by corporate owners and vastly over paid players, some who earn more in a week than we do in a year yet can't kick a ball 5 yards to a teammate, they're hardly a ****ing dickhead.

well said as always Sheiky

[Harv]

I couldnt give two ****s about Luton TBH.

Sure it would be a nice gesture by the club to give them something from the game, but we are under no obligation to do so.

The mere fact that they have run to the press about it after we turned them down seems a tad babyish to me. Almost like we owe them something, and have not come through with it.

**** that. If you want our money, give us something in return for it.....like a promising player.

So someone attacks Fox force five,Sheikyourbouty responds and HarveyBirdman comes in.Agenda!!!!!!!


Who alerted the 6CM bretheren that they should all report in numbers in defence of FFF????



Not mixing but it`s a bit obvious.

[Johnny]

Livvy must be asleep!!!!!

you clearly know me to well.

Im hated on that site you fool, my numerous spats with Ryan and Brendan rubbed many the wrong way.

the name calling of FFF was unecessary though, thats why i backed him up.

I was "Wellhard" on 6CM and fought your corner many times.
I had 4,000 posts.I couldn`t stomach the abuse of our players from Brendoom and Cryan and sent a suicide post to Brendoom which was obviously sent on to the mods.I never had a warning and was banned the next week.

I had/have great respect for the EST versions of Livvy/FFF/Sheiky and have told Mark 197? he should post on here more often.Livvy knows me and this site needs singlerider and a "Few" others.Only problem is that i think 6 CM attracted more of the TOTAL idiots.


In Fact iv`e been an advocate in almalgulating(SP) both EST and 6CM if that dickhead Brendoom is excluded.

[Nicey]

FFF on 6CM:

**** me that is disgusting.

Regardless of the fact we've sold out, that's the nail in the coffin: anything even remotely resembling the liverpool way, is dead & buried.

****ing disgusting, less than Stevie gets in wages a week that is. Soulless cunts.

I feel ashamed to call myself a Liverpool fan reading that, I really do.


I share his sentiments on this topic, it's not asking for much.

Mate I think you are a little bit misguided on this one, I am all for the Liverpool Way, it is what drew me to this club in the first place and its what makes me proud to be a red. But 150 Grand is not chump change in anybodies books. Sure if Lutton were our feeder club or something perhaps. But a club which we have no real connection to or relationship with asking for 150 grand out of the blue, its no wonder they are skint.

I am all for charity, its a very big part of my life but there is charity and then there is opening a window and throwing a suitcase of cash out the window, which effectively what you would be doing here, none of the 150 grand would probably go to the players, the bank manager would have his money on that quicker than you can say all money goes to the suits.

Our club has not become some corporate monster over night and say you are ashamed of Liverpool FC for not giving Lutton our gate money is a little harsh to say the least. Next time you walk to the streets of your town, spare a moment for the poor ****ers who will be sleeping on the concrete in the rain, with no money or hope, these are the people who need a hand up not football players
