Should SOS release a statement about the proposed takeover?

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Apologies for posting this seperately, but this would get completely lost in the existing takeover thread.

 

Just thinking out loud here, but should SOS get involved and release a statement on the proposed takeover? If they are already planning to, then apologies.

 

A strongly worded statement could re-iterate to everyone involved what their duties are (Broughton, RBS and co) as the two cunts at the helm of our club will resort to every dirty trick in the book.

 

Thoughts?

[Ted]

No.

 

Unless they and Rogan Taylor are one of the six bidders, like.

[Antynwa]

I just hope SOS have a positive relationship with someone within the new set up

[Guest simon]

No chance of them doing it imo. They they wont be happy about anyone taking over.

[Graham Smith]

Spot on again, Simon.

 

SOS want to run the Club - remember?

Spot on again, Simon.

So if this deal falls through because of our current owners, have SOS any actions planned the 15th?

We have no plans for any Direct Action on that day for a variety of reasons linked to the having a new manager, the supporters rightly wanting to get behind the team first and foremost.

 

This will change if the owners indicate an intention to appear.

 

We will be seeking to continue leafleting etc on the day to continue awareness raising.

Well i said it because non of these linked seem to be fans haha i wasn't having any pops this time. Ithink any fan is going to be catious wouldnt want anything like our current again.

I don't see why they would (or should) make a comment about this. Unless, of course, they are privy to vital information that needs to be released, then they don't know enough about those involved with the purchase.

 

Graham, I assume that protests are being benched 'til this saga plays itself out?

[john23liverpool]

I don't see why people think SOS could have any influence whatsoever on proceedings with regards to the takeover.

 

I admire their cause, they have got the best interests of the club at heart, I know that, but people like Tom Hicks and George Gillett wouldnt give a fuck about a couple of hundred people a thousand miles away going on a protest march.

 

The only possible way RBS could be affected by SOS is if every Liverpool supporter worldwide threatened to stop dealing with them.

 

The effectiveness of SoS is very limited at best when dealing with big businesses.

 

But, as I say, what they do is for the good of the club and I am not slating their intentions but just saying that it is virtually ineffective.

 

Thats just my opinion obviously, there are clearly a lot of people who think that SOS are the driving force behind getting the yanks out.

[WaltonRed]

No.

 

Keep it shut.

And this is SOS problem in a nutshell and the exact reason they will achieve next to nothing other than cheap bus travels to away trips.

Agree with this, they should not comment before anything happens, but if yet another deal falls through because of our cunts of owners they need to hit them hard and not be worried about soft arguments like first game of the season/new manager etc, etc.

lobbied the premier league, and banks, sat down with the premeier leage, held gg and TH to account, exposed Purslow as the snake he is, lent a hand to the Shields campaign and their family's fight for justice for their son, put on free coaching camps for children, stopped hicks getting into the ground, stopped hicks getting out of the ground, launched a supporter ownership scheme were any fan in the world would be able to take part in raising mney to buy the club, organised an event for 5000 people in one of the citys most historic sites.

 

Oh and organised a few coaches

 

But most of all, throughout the year, on countless occassions they found the strenght to sit in the same room and hold discussions with Rogan Taylor!

[Soleilrouge]

SOS should issue a lyrical statement to the tune of careless whisper with particular emphasis on the line 'should have known better than to cheat a friend'

[aws]

The sooner SOS issue some kind of statement (on anything), the sooner they can be slagged off again.

[WaltonRed]

Once this all goes through, SOS can just stick to the stuff they should stick too and I may well even join.

[PaulMcC]

I hope they have talks with any prospective owners.

 

At least we'd have them trying to get the owners to do the right thing.

[WaltonRed]

But SOS's beliefs and intentions might be different from everyone else's.

[cochcaer]

No. Watch, investigate then speak.
