Quote from: Lou'zie0 on October 11, 2011, 11:25:49 PMWho are the other 10 that they hope will vote for it? They're Liverpool remember, they probably think they deserve 10 votes because they were good at doing backpasses in the 70s and 80s.
Who are the other 10 that they hope will vote for it?

We've no right to be planting our flagpole on Mt Moral. What if you were against then, and you're against it now?Indeed. While I've got sympathy for DW's argument, it wasn't 'us', was it, it was Ellis, Sugar et al. We didn't really have a say.Good point, but there weren't many of us who objected.No, but then we didn't really know how it would develop. Sorry, I didn't know how it would develop. But now that I do, I think it's ok to be against it without any residual guilt.

It would require 14 of the Premier League's 20 members to vote in favour of a new commercial arrangement
I wonder if it would only take 14 votes to kick Liverpool out altogether?
I can't see this getting past the voting stage with the other Prem clubs - unless there is some kind of sweetner for the rest of us.Personally, I'm hoping they'll all piss off into a Euro super league.
It's the first step towards a European League, no question. All these foreign owners, including Lerner I guess, have invested in this, in the hope of getting on the gravy train. It's not about the fans, the clubs, the history of the game in this country - it's about making money.Let them go and watch the fall out from Liverpool, ManU fans when they're not playing agains teams in this country.
One thing is for sure, the priorities for LFC certainly dont lie in the working class suburbs surrounding Anfield
