Ayre has shot his self there, everyone is giving us bad publicity because of his breakaway comments. Bad fking idea and it will kill the league so he should of just kept his mouth shut.
Unfortunately the chairman also backed up his claim add this to what Henry mentioned about television rights when he first took over and it's a massive own goal by the Club. The saddest part for me is that it's totaly against the principles of what the Club was set up for by Shanks when he quoted "The socialism I believe in is everybody working for the same goal and everybody having a share in the rewards. That's how I see football, that's how I see life." Think this proves we are no longer the same Club just an american franchise.
Think you guys have the history wrong The club was built by john Houlding and John McKenna, both business men and it was run on strictly business lines (causing Everton to depart Anfield due to an unacceptable hike in the rent!!) Shankley didn't join us until half a century later! Whether we like it or not football is and has been a business for a long time, and world viewing and fan base has arrived with global television and thats where the action is increasingly going to be. Times change and we must change with it or sink into irrelevance!
