It’s not an either/or situation though, and adds to the overall picture of discontent that hopefully, as a whole, persuades FSG to act.
And while I wouldn’t sign it, I think the owners have brought it on themselves by consistently putting it out there how happy they are for Slot to remain next season… stubbornly sticking to such an unpopular stance has driven unhappy supporters to vent their displeasure however they can.
It was last night after a few drinks, and I was thinking along the lines of whether I can or can’t get no satisfaction?
I probably should’ve said that Liverpool had already conceded that many league goals around about the Boxing Day fixtures and I remember thinking then that we won’t catch Arsenal. Realistically it was only the cheating team that had been able to keep on their tail all season. So there’s the first two places out of sight and that was last year. If you look at the goals conceded from 3rd place down to 20th place, it really is a shocking sight.
If we finish season in fourth place then that’s all they could deliver.
When Klopp announced his resignation in Jan 2024, I immediately cancelled my TNT sports subscription that same day and didn’t go back. It was some sort of protest whereby I didn’t want to spend more money if I’m not able to watch Klopp’s team. We were actually in the Europa League when he decided to leave, so I’m not an all or nothing Champions League fan. I’d never even heard of Slot, my mind was made up in an instant without giving it a second thought.
Even though I actually think we did perform ok in this years ECL and last years also. I wasn’t tempted to resubscribe and only caught the odd games on Amazon prime since.
I’m no longer dissatisfied though as I expect this Liverpool side aren’t going to be winning for a few seasons. All the best pros have gone or going. Qualifying for Europe is still the best to hope for though.
So, What’s taking them so long? Cancel the YouTube subscription
I don’t think the petition is embarrassing at all. Why would it be? People petition their governments, local and national, all the time because they want/need something. Not like Joe can ring up Anfield and say he wants to speak to Mr Hughes about the manager, can he? I think everyone’s being a bit precious about it.
Online presence, hate it or whatever, is by now the most effective way of mobilizing large numbers of people. There might be a lot of bad faith actors using it but the majority using it would be Liverpool fans. As @Livvy says as well, she subscribes to the YouTube channel. There would hardly any people supporting other clubs wanting to pay to be part of our Channel and their comments are by and large of the same outlook?
TAN is a bit naff and out of touch sometimes. Said before and will probably say it again at some point.
I’m trying to understand why some people here find this petition embarrassing. It’s a bit difficult for me, to be honest, but I’ve often noticed that discussions here tend to focus on what rival fans might think about something, etc. It must be some kind of cultural thing; I’m having a little trouble really grasping it because it’s not something we really experience here. For me, it’s not a big deal, and I don’t see it as a big issue. Perhaps someone from abroad started this petition, where it’s considered normal.
Ultimately, it’s not important how people express their dissatisfaction with the current situation. What really matters is that they do it. It shouldn’t have come to this, but it is what it is.
The issue isn’t its credibility or the veracity of the signatures. On its own, it won’t make much of a difference, but coupled with the general distress and dissatisfaction, it does leave a footprint and it does make an impression.
FSG have shown over the years that they are very conscious of how they are perceived by the fanbase and 700,000+ signatures requesting for the head coach to be removed, aren’t going to be glossed over, no matter how ridiculous you may think they are.
For the record, I took a look and it’s indeed a simple amateur website put together in Javascript. The only thing you have to do in order to vote as many times as you want is to open it in incognito mode.
Isn’t it a bit too early to make a final assessment already? I had to look it up, it is 672k and counting now and It was only launched yesterday.
So let’s wait and see… Jeez
Imo this whole discussion about it is rather silly and misses the point. That doesn’t make sense to me, I’m sorry.
As @RedWhippet wrote, we don’t know how many LFC fans are among those. My bet is less than 30%. Everton and manc fans will have had a field day signing this.
