FSG aren't shocked by the fans protest, they're very well aware of dissatisfaction with their high prices already and no doubt we're expecting some noises to be made, they just didn't expect the level of the fan response to the protest, and are no doubt working on a way to diffuse and negate it. Should be interesting to see their response if any. they will of more than done there research on all the possible repruccusions before raising the prices, would be shocked at how out of touch they would be if they were taken by surprise especially with a snake in the grass with his finger on the local pulse of things in Ian Ayre keeping them updated....

Agree, I'd expect them to be a bit concerned at the efficacy and success by the organisers though, it wouldn't surprise me if they tried to kill it with silence for a bit, to see what kind of legs it has. Imo the organisers should strike again while their iron is hot.

I haven't read a lot on this matter but I heard they were in talks with the fans for about 12 months before announcing the prices so they have drawn it out as long as possible which is probably why the fans were so organised, the fans had lots of time to plan the back lash once they realised it wasn't going to be good news.

I think if the whole stadium was empty it might work like they play games behind closed doors but again they haven't got the backing of all fans as Saturday proved and fans will always turn up and buy tickets...

This has to be the beginning of the end for them now. It's the straw that broke the camels back as far as I'm concerned. Game over
The committee, the strategy, the neglect, the lack of intent and the poor off the field decisions
They are truly on a completely different planet to the fans and I think the time has come for them
They choose business over winning
And for that reason, I choose to give someone else a go

And for that reason, I choose to give someone else a go yes but you cant hammer them for choosing the business over winning because nearly all the fans on here did the same when they put getting into the top four ahead of winning trophies, it makes me laugh that they adopt the same money is king policy as FSG and then cry and moan when FSG adopt the same strategy in a different area, you either buy into the policy or you don't, u don't just pick and choose when it suits then hammer them for it...

Of course you can cap wages otherwise public sector pay grades would be illegal for example all UK police officers are paid according to a grade band that's not illegal is it ? Don't be stupid man, an employer can have wage bands of course and the government is an employer. Can the government cap wages of all employees in the country? Of course not. You are being blinded to find a solution Dont remember saying that only prem footballers which are contractual My point was that an employer can cap wages of his employees as the govenment does it for civil servants. LFC can cap wages of LFC players but you cannot get the FA to cap wages. If all club come together and agree a cap (which is very unlikely) players won't come to the EPL and they will also take the matter to court as it will be a case of cartel, ie, some employers coming together/coluding to limit what their employees can earn. Do you get that?

Top four is not about putting business before winning, it's about being amongst the leagues elite and challenging in the most prestigious competitions in Europe, where we belong. The club has been built on many memorable European nights, it's been ingrained into everything that's made LFC great over the years. Top four is f all to do with business for me. It's merely a stepping stone to the future, to unlock the ability to sign europe's top talent. Something the club failed miserably to capitalise on due to their incompetence. We should have been looking at players like Reus, or at the very least, players closer to that reputation. Instead we ended up with lambert, balotelli, lallana and lovren. They, and their transfer committee / strategy is turning this club into a laughing stock, we're slowly becoming the next Newcastle

The "strategy" thus far has proved extremely expensive. How many players have we actually seen a return on? Assaidi and Suarez? Torres and sterling were already assets that belonged to the club before they arrived. The rest, we'd be extremely luck to recoup anywhere near half of what we payed for them
Their entire mantra has been flawed thus far. It isn't working, and you're a fool if you think it's going to get us anywhere
The current squad is spineless, we have one of the worst goalkeepers on a 5 year deal, no decent strikers, no leaders and no winners. Yet we allow them to treat the likes of Gerard and Daglish so poorly
You're entitled to believe it's the way forward if you want to, but proof shows that in the last 5 years we've gone backwards, it isn't working so it's time to move on and try something different

What is wrong with letting the manager pick the players he would like, this resale value thing is just crap
