Perhaps everyone is jumping the gun a bit re: Bayern? They've only been superb in the last 4 or 5 months - before that they were their same old selves. I don't think they are ready to take Barca's crown as the top tam in the wolrd yet, regardless of their recent games or CL final result. Plus the manager that has got them where they are today is being replaced by someone unproven outside of La Liga.
Let's not forget, that it wasn't long ago that we had an all English CL final.

my idea was not just about Liverpool but about football in general. For it to be effective it would have to be across all the premier league. Also the target is not just the clubs's but the players as well who should be aware that asking for bigger contracts has an impact on the supporters.


I agree, if there was a boycott at Anfield only, LFC will suffer as they will have to reduce their prices and therefore revenues while other clubs will keep it the same, however, that could spark a England wide protest, I am sure nobody wants to pay more if they could pay less.

The reason ticket prices are cheaper in Germany is only because they spend less on fees and wages, bar may be Bayern. They do happen to compete with lower costs, because they have access to a larger number of players compared to england as there are more people playing football there and they are also closest to Eastern Europe, thus, again have a relatively easier access the players in those countries too. The catchment area for players if I may say so is huge compared to England and because all teams do it, the competition is much more healthier, except for Bayern again who does have a large stadium (68k) and a lot of rich sponsors in Bavaria. If England adopted the same strategy, the EPL will be nowhere near the Bundesliga, just as comparable to the national teams. Where would be the EPL without foreign players? Same can be said of Real Madrid by the way, but, their revenue base is the biggest world wide.

maybe the premier league clubs and LFC should get more control over telervision rights maybe put the prices up for foreign tv companies , and try to restrict the free viewing of premier league football as free viewing contributes zero to the clubs funds , its easy to hit the fans who go the match the way the club has but maybe this television issue should be tightened up and prices increased if its such a great product and the fans are so dedicated as the likes of billy hogan says .
