Liverpool FC supporters union Spirit of Shankly protest against club's American owners
TONIGHT'S first home game of the season at Anfield will see Liverpool FC supporters' union Spirit of Shankly leafleting outside the ground to garner support amongst Reds fans against the club's American owners.
The Union issued a statement yesterday blasting Tom Hicks and George Gillett for manager Rafa Benitez's apparent lack of a substantial transfer budget this summer, with the Spaniard seemingly not even permitted to have at his disposal the full amount he has raised himself in the transfer market.
The statement also accused former Chairman David Moores of 'sitting back and doing nothing while the fans fight for the club's life' and called on all Liverpool supporters to stand together to bring about change at the club.
The Union's call to arms aroused much debate on our LFC blog site, Liverpool Banter.
Bob described the Union as 'pseudo-militant idiots', saying
"Distributing leaflets?? Yeah that'll get rid of them..
"SOS want to help ShareLFC own the club, which would ultimately leave the club in a lot more debt than we are in now, it's a pipe dream which is so unfeasable i can't believe anyone would back it, let alone a group supposedly representing the best interests of Liverpool fans."
However the general mood of the comments was supportive towards the Union's position.
