It is somewhat of an odd time to be a Liverpool fan right now. The Reds aren\u2019t playing well, which has led to all of the cranks and weirdos to come out of the woodwork. We will doubtless all have seen tweets from idiots that have no idea about the culture of the football club, saying that they want to process against Fenway Sports Group, all from the comfort of their mum\u2019s basement. I have long been on record as saying that there is no such thing as a \u2018locals versus out of towners\u2019 debate at Liverpool. Instead, there is just those that understand the club and those that don\u2019t. Sufficed to say, organising a protest against owners that have been perfectly good custodians of the club doesn\u2019t fit into that culture very well. As Mari Lewis pointed out on Twitter, some of them had the cheek to use photos of protests that were held against Tom Hicks and George Gillett, actual<\/em> terrible owners who took the club to the brink of administration and threatened the very existence of it; the exact opposite of what FSG have done as owners.<\/p>\n

\n

This Deloitte report proves we have to move on from FSG if we want to challenge again. We\u2019ve worked miracles under their \u2018self-sustainable\u2019 business model but without actual investment on the owners part we are going to fade away and fast! #lfc<\/a> #FSGOUT<\/a><\/p>\n
