POST THE ARTICLE

 

Spirit Of Shankly, the Liverpool Supporters Union, accepted an invitation to today meet with NESV representatives John W Henry and Tom Werner.

 

It was an informal meeting, to allow us to discuss with them the issues we as a Union deal with, and the issues supporters have faced in the past three years. The meeting gave us encouragement that we as supporters will be listened to, and that the new owners recognise the task ahead.

 

Supporters have worked tirelessly to ensure our concerns are listened to, and that our voice is heard. John W Henry himself said "If it wasn't for yourselves and supporters doing what you have, we wouldn't be here now." It is important that supporters are recognised and we hope that this is the beginning of an ongoing, positive relationship, that allows us all - supporters, players, manager, the board and the owners - to be pulling in the same direction that allows our football club to succeed and prosper on and off the pitch. We look forward to future dialogue.

 

Nevermind, not worth it

waste of time, pr exercise for both camps...absolutely nothing gained from that from the looks of that article

[TommyW]

what did you want? Henry to offer them 51% of the club? its a start, he's opening discussions with fans, thats a good thing

[Horus]

SOS: Can we have some of the club?

Nesv: No.

 

OK then. Bye.

Can we pull in a different direction to the manager, please?

I think it is great that they are listening to the fans, I am very optimistic about the owners.

 

I just don't see why we needed another thread telling us nothing we didn't already know.

Do Kop Faithful get an invite John?

Patience, boy.

[Original202]

Do Kop Faithful get an invite John?

 

I should hope they do after the work they've put in.

 

He obviously can't speak to everyone but he'd benefit from getting as many different views as he can.

 

It's encouraging that he's opened dialogue with supporters already. Long may it continue, a monthly fans forum would be something I'd like to see.

[Antynwa]

Good to hear them actively engaging with fans, especially at this early stage.

 

Although it wouldn't surprise me to see them all wearing t-shirts saying 'Bring Rafa back' whilst John W Henry looks on completely confused.

Good move from NESV and well done to SOS. Hopefully this link to the fans will be maximised in the following years and we can enjoy a closeness to the current board that wasn't there in the past.

 

Again well done NESV and SOS, it can only be a good thing to have that link.

[Liverpool lad]

Constructive dialogue between the fans and the club can only be positive, except when it is Share Liverpool dreaming up silly scenarios

I wont believe this until Rogan Taylor has a scarf over his head at Melwood.

[Graham Smith]

Everyone of us wore "Bring Rafa Back t shirts".

 

See, it still isn't funny.

Nice one, Graham.

 

Any more info regarding meeting: length, venue? Was it minuted / informal?

 

Did he smoke a cigar? Was his wife there?

[Lurtz]

Thanks for posting. Some more details about what was said would be good but early days. I suppose this was just a quick 'hello.' Big step in the right direction when compared with the last arseholes.

[Graham Smith]

Nice one, Graham.

The meeting was in Chapel Street with Werner and Henry both there.

 

Pretty informal and very much them listening to our introduction of the Union and its aims and objectives.

 

I suspect the next meeting (hopefully if arranged) will be more important as they will presumably have got their feet under the table and will have some ideas about what they plan to do and how.
