Boey_Jarton Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Many Liverpool fans have an interesting definition of cheating and fairness when it comes to football ownership. As an honest Newcastle fan, I will admit that it isn't in the spirit of football to have sovereign nations connected with football ownership. That ship has sailed unfortunately and you can argue that the fairest system is one where any club, from around the world, is able to have unrestricted investment to help it grow. Their definition of fairness is that every club should lock into the wealth and revenues they have now (which is a function of historical success and whether the club has been run sensibly) and that should never be able to change for eternity. All clubs should respect their place in the pecking order and no investment should be allowed to change that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoForJoy Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Liverpool fans conveniently forget they were owned by the owners of the Football Pools in the days before the National Lottery. Everyone did the Pools back then, it was massive. All other clubs were owned by the local butcher, they had a massive advantage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the success came as a result of money being pumped into those clubs Liverpool and Man-U fans are the worst for it, they have this arrogance about the money they generate being genuine and anyone that has revenue beyond that (in the case of City and us) is cheating and evil Yet those clubs managed to get themselves in a position to generate money on the back of money being pumped in that was way beyond their actual revenue. Their base is built upon rich benefactors but they have this warped sense of old money is pure and noble whilst new money is evil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Completely rattled it might be someone elses turn at the top and they'll slide into obscurity like their neighbours, Everton. It happens. It's took us 20 years to get back to the CL. Who knows, this could be our one and only visit for another 20. That's football. No team has a right to be at the top, however Liverpool fans have never dealt with that. Manure fans hadn't until recently. Bet it (winning owt) all means a lot more to them now than it did 10 years ago at the start of their decline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the difference with sovereign ownership is the control and influence that comes with it, and that is beyond just wealth. I completely agree that it's impossible to draw the line though, and the only reason that Liverpool fans want to draw the line now, is to kick others down the ladder that they themselves ascended.
