KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The club in the community

I am conducting research for my dissertation. The subject of the dissertation is foreign owners in football, what i am looking to find is ways in which owners have either benefited or negatively affected different clubs. I have consent from the koptalk support team and i state that all names will be kept confidential, all im interested in are the opinions not the names.

My second discussion point i would like people to discuss is: since John Henry or even Hicks and Gillett have come into the club has the clubs community work grown? Does the club still work within the local community and if they do what has changed?
My first post a couple of days ago was quite a broad subject but now looking to get more specific about the owners involvement in the club.

Thanks

everyone on their best behaviour!!!!!


simple answer is fsg have cleared a lot of our debt and got our finances in order. however negatively speaking they have continued the false promise of stadiums and players. hopefully that will change too. hicks and gillette were criminal parasites, plain and simple.

second point, owners do nothing for the community as far as i can tell, its always the managers, and they do it off their own backs.

The club is totaly disengaged with the community of Liverpool although it does employ a community officer for project activity but it is prescribed and managed by the club and for PR and ultimately commercial purposes. To the average person in Liverpool Anfield is four brick walls they would never dream of going inside.

Thats a fact. And for what purposes would it engage with the local community unless they can spare £1000 a year it has no use for them or them for it.
