SOS to Unveil Billboard in Liverpool

[Guest]

How can they work 'with the club' when ultimately, the owners technically ARE the club?

You cant work 'with' a regime that you're trying to help remove.

The owners are not the club, they are just custodians.

At the end of the day they aren't going to sell the club for a loss after they've put their own money in it no? They won't sell to the first bidder, it has got to be the proper bid for them and for all that we know, this process is still ongoing.

Whilst they're still at the helm, discussions rather than aggressive tactics should be used. And as I said, I don't think they represent the majority of LFC fans at all.

I just don't think you are doing it the right way, the Purslow affair was another case in point. All the club's dirty linen was being thrown out for everyone to see.

It seems to me you are not working 'with the club' but hold a rather aggressive and negative stance towards it, rather than pursuing more constructive avenues.

SOS reminds me of far left unionists. And you're not representative of the majority of LFC fans, who can be found the world over.

hello pete [i'm assuming its pete] if i can cut to the chase and be brutally honest the club employ hardened businessmen and along with the owners ,they haven't got where they are by pussyfooting around ... we've, in a relatively short space of time had to fall in line with their tactics from the outset otherwise they'd run slipshod over us ... the press which comes out is a cat and mouse game and, for your part you think that its a shame ... i do myself mate but its become a battle now and their will be transgressions ... as long as the motives are always clear, then we've got to carry on down this road until something gives .... it has to all intents become a politicised campaign and there will always be a media fallout to this backdrop ... were trying to fight the good fight in the best circumstances possible ,and what we should never veer away from, is the fact that a couple of speculators are cutting something off from the knees that you and i very much love ... mistakes may be made ,thats a given but if them mistakes have been made honestly then we'll regroup and learn from them

For the purposes of this issue, they are the club - they make all the decisions, they're the ones who decide whether the club will 'work with' SOS etc etc.

They havent put their own money into the club either.

What discussions do you think cuddly old George and Tom are going to listen to? You're describing a dream world mate, they wont listen to kind words and little ruffles of the hair.

Do you think you represent the majority of LFC fans out there?

This fellow from SOS seems a far cry from the thick neanderthall bully that some would have us believe sos members consist of.

Good to hear from one of them first hand. imo.

Means nothing i know, but still.

Quite right, he's done more in a couple of posts on here to make me think again than any of the public 'stunts'
Maybe some of it is lost in translation or are communication issues, I don't think anyone disagrees with the SOS sentiment of getting rid of H&G it's just how they portray what they do and some of the outcomes (The Purslow affair)

we've, in a relatively short space of time had to fall in line with their tactics from the outset otherwise they'd run slipshod over us ...

But do you not worry the negative PR could possibly put of anyone interested in buying therefore going against what you're trying to achieve?

I can understand the desire to rock the boat, the captain doesn't seem to be at all trustworthy, I just worry that we'll become the problem ship no other captain wants to take over, so we're stuck.

this has [ again to reiterate ] become partly a political campaign mate ... whether we like that or not ,this is how it'll go down , theres no other way ... they've set the agendas and we're playing the game .....

on the potential new owners when they do come in then, a stategy is in place to liase with them so we don't end up down this road again ... my hope is that they'll be proper custodians and they'll be reminded on how much liverpool touches peoples lives ... we must ensure whats happened here must never happen again

You've not answered my question. I'll put it again. Do you think that SOS represent the majority of what LFC fans think?

Another question. Have you been asked to come on these forums to try and make up for the PR disaster which backfired onto SOS?

Interesting stuff guys - thanks for coming on and putting your points across Roy. Personally I retain an open mind to SOS and support what they are doing.

If he has then they have my respect even more - what better way to put the record straight? At least he has opened a dialogue on the subject and I think it is a positive thing.

Better late than never.

Agreed, they could have just sent a load of sos sympathisers over to Est to engage in argument and persuasion.

If this was their idea to send a member here to promote sos, answer some questions, (even those funny ones from Pete Best) and engage in informative debate, then that's all good.
