It’s pathetic. It really is.

Earlier in this thread, there was some chatter about the success of fan protests in getting the owners react. The ticket prices was cited as proof of the success.
Personally, I think that is as far as the owners would go. Another protest is unlikely to succeed, unless it aligns with their longer term vision.
First, they cannot allow fan protests to dictate decisions. For the ticket prices, it was (1) a compromise, not a total back down, (2) worded (in my opinion) such that the fans’ views were taken in to consideration, but were not the only factor in the change in stance.
Second, with the compromise on the ticket prices, the club owners are now on a moral high ground. For subsequent protests, they can state that while every fan’s view is taken seriously, the final decision depends on other factors etc.
Hence, I am increasingly resigned to seeing Slot here next season.
Given the upcoming exodus of old guard, I believe one of Slot’s mandate was to bring down the wage bill, which is one of the highest in the Division. If correct, this would mean significant changes to the playing squad in the coming years. The likes of Konate may not be offered new contracts beyond a certain wage level. Hopefully, our recruitment takes into account the player’s character, as that would shape the new squad.
yeah, not signing that.
however, like on here, the amount of people who agree but wont sign it must be heavily weighted…that wont be lost on FSG
im sorry but im lost on the point your trying to make…could you explain?
That doesn’t make much sense, you cite the old guard but one just hasn’t contrtibuted and dropped off a cliff edge, one sits on the bench and one misses 20 games a season (and we apparently activated the extra season on him).
If he was brought into get the wage bill down VVD and Salah wouldn’t have signed new contracts. That would be Hughes job anyhow.
If they keep him they it will be simply down to their believe it was circumstances. However I do feel recent press comments suggest a shift in tone. I do think he had to show something post Paris to save his job and he hasn’t yet.
They did. But there was a contention because FSG wanted to appoint a more legit POTY thus the deal fell through
Btw I am not embarrassed by the club. Even if the club is relegated today, I still won’t be embarrassed. The club’s performance has nothing to do with my choice of support. Call it out, we had been ridiculously bad and dodgy all season but I am not embarrassed.
Petitions are cheap wins in their own heads. If it makes them happy, it’s ok. This world is big enough for strange people who needs to vent and think they won and are making a difference
Inclined much to agree with others,Slot has to go, but fan petitions are not the way, after all anyone and their dog signs petitions, largely with people with the totally opposite point of view.
Not touching it!

As a business, you look at the bottomline. If there is a massive drop in season ticket sales for next season once the news of Slot continuing for the next season, they might just act accordingly.
Petitions like this are lame AF…
Or even real individual people. I imagine there may be several Steven Gerrards or Kenneth Dalglish perhaps even a cheeky Arne Slot or two.

Can a man who has come through his horse oeuvre unscathed, who can draw seagulls for fun ever be embarrassed?

Probably not, but in fact, sales of the new shirt might not go as planned (next season’s shirt is released in 14 days). LFC TV/video contracts will be terminated (I’ve seriously considered it myself because watching it has become so irritating), etc. General sales of all kinds of LFC merchandise could certainly decline if the fans remain so dissatisfied. These are revenues that have been painstakingly built up over time. And the club probably won’t be thrilled either if ratings drop because people no longer want to watch our games as regularly, etc. We’ve already read here that many have lost interest in even watching each game anymore.

yep, all those things are likely to happen, and i hope not all will be put down to ‘cost of living’ crisis.

I’m not embarrassed by that petition. I think it’s more embarrassing how we’ve performed for too much of this season. But like our tactical approach, the petition is a pointless endeavor.
I think the multiple boos which have rung out at Anfield this year, the media criticism, the dropping of standards, the performances above all…that will weigh far more than a web page full of plenty of unverified signatures.
But there wont be a drop in season ticket sales irrespective of who is in charge.

Whats the title defence or the season in general.
I wouldn’t sign any petition like that.
Its beyond crass and weak.
However,
Supporters are fed up of what they are watching. And something has to change before next season. Whether that’s a new manager or a different vision from the current incumbent remains to be seen.
We all know THIS has to change.
