I laughed my bollox off at 'Many issues remain unanswered'!!

Stop taking credit for things others did

You don't speak for me

Not enough action

No need to be around now

Self interested

Foreign travel jollies

 

In before the twats.

If you took the trouble to follow the link you'd see there are large documents which make it tricky to post.

 

Oh yeah, and cheers, that might save the thread from the usual stuff. But maybe not.

[cochcaer]

JH needs congratulating. I stopped after the first couple of paragraphs about H&G and 'internet groups'. Somebody has a rod up their arse.

[The Party Boy]

SOS came across far too agressive with them.

[Guest davelfc]

Look at us, we are still here! No, look at us, hey you, look at us. Oooooo eeeeeee!

[Il Fenomeno]

It's a bit embarrassing that you're demanding John Henry to reinvest all the profit he makes from the business he just saved for £200/300m.

[18-5]

Stop harassing them and let them do their work.

[gkmacca]

 

'And another thing!!!'

[Graham Smith]

Yes, the huge irony being that that is exactly what he has said he is going to do.

 

Seems we're on the same page as him (read his response).

 

Presumably that is something we're all pleased about and which wasn't clearly known before this?

Football clubs should reinvest the money into the club ie ground improvements, youth academy and playing squad. If they do those things right when they sell us they will enjoy a healthy profit. Nothing wrong with wanting to see the money go back into the club.

Embarrassing, not them, you.

The problem as far as I can see is that SOS are approaching this as though they are still communicating with 'them fucking yanks'. The tone is way too aggressive in my opinion and is not conducive to good dialogue, which is surely the whole point. In fact, the response from John Henry implied that they found the memo a little offensive.

Well they should be professional enough to bypass the emotion and answer the questions. They didn't answer the questions did they?

 

I can understand them wanting to draw a line under certain topics but there are some huge ones put to them that they've completely blew off.

[Fugitive]

A thread about SOS and the owner decending into arguments.

 

Fuck this shit. That's sooooooo 2010!!!

Which questions do you think they should answer?

[Antynwa]

Fucks sake.

[Horus]

Just my opinion, but SOS made themselves irrelevant with the failure to do anything for months on end whilst planning EGM's, for going on recruitment piss ups abroad and the link up with Rogan.

 

Somewhere along the struggle, SoS lost sight of their initial aims and started to concentrate on cementing relevance for the long term and expanding your remit, whilst most fans solely wanted a consistent effort of direct action, as witnessed by peoples willingness to follow Kop Faithfuls requests.

 

There was a hotbed of frustration that needed channelling. People didn't want summer coaching schools, they wanted G&H out.

 

It's a pity, in a way. I don't think NESV are out of the woods and need to be checked and balanced until we know exactly how this will pan out.

 

Unfortunately for SoS, you were useless for big periods of the fight. Not having a go at you, because you are far more willing to respond to posts on this site, than I would be in your position, but it's not going to work out for you.

[Guest ShoePiss]

Which questions do you think they should answer?

 

Ticketing, travel, Thomas Cook organised touting, the stadium, 15th April plus lots more.

Time will tell as in all of these things.

Sorry do you expect them to go through that memo and answer every single question? As for thing like travel, in the grand scheme of things its pretty minor. Surely you would prefer they concentrate on more important issues first? They haven't decided what they are going to do with the stadium yet and have said so. What do you want from them regarding hillsborough?

[StevieH]

Very good response from the owners. They have clearly done their research about the history and traditions of Liverpool Football Club. I think that they will prove to be very good owners of LFC.

[MrWhite]

John's reply is great.

 

My favourite put-downs:

 

"We appreciate the considerable time you clearly spent in composing your letter of Dceomber 20th. Although getting a letter from a lawyer on the eve of Christmas that reads a little like a deposition generally isn't considered a present"

 

"Respectfully, so many of your other questions and areas of inquiry directly relate back to the period of the prior owners and the fall-out from that time"

 

"You can help us move forward with that agenda — But it runs across the grain to welcome us with a series of long, written cross-examination questions from a solicitor"

 

"But we don't to have that dialogue with only one group of LFC supporters"

[piscinin]

Time will tell as in all of these things.

 

To get a seat at the table you need to present yourself as a solution to a problem they have.
