Ed01/ 02 I have learnt a lot from you about the football club I love so much and how it is run since I joined this page. I am deeply ashamed of how my club is being run. First I learned from Ed01 about the way we treat charities. We pride ourselves on calling the club a family yet we turn away anyone in seek of help? What happened to You'll Never Walk Alone? I then learned from Ed02 that the club is actively tapping up players nearly every window. How those leading the club think it is okay to treat other clubs this way is despicable. And how we could be so stupid and try tap up a youth player and then in the end leave him and his family in financial turmoil when found out it shows how much care we have for youth players. When the clubs starts treating its players like people instead of assets then we may see change. Anyway to my question eds, do you think something will be done and who do you hold responsible? Werner? Klopp? Henry? Ayre?

{Ed001's Note - I hold them all responsible, they are all accountable for their actions, as well as many others within the club. I doubt anything will change, other than it being hidden better in future, sadly.}

Welcome to modern football. You wanted an international brand and financial force. You got it now!

{Ed001's Note - I never wanted any such thing.}

It's not anything new. It's been going on for a long time and Liverpool has had a bad reputation in business for about as long as I've known people in football (roughly 13 years or so) .
It's also not something restricted to just Liverpool I know of a few clubs who do all the same things, they are just better at keeping it quiet than we are. They also don't present themselves as bastions of honesty on truth like we often do.

We should stop the "everybody does it" argument as it is a false argument and a poor excuse at deflection. Cos everybody jumps off a cliff does not mean we should do it either. We need to stop this tapping up nonsense once and for all cos it is killing us big time.

Several clubs don't even want to deal with us anymore like Fiorentina, Fulham, Udinese, Inter and prolly the Saints. The FA also have us in their sight now cos another one of these tapping up crap will get us a transfer ban (we already have one with the academy players) and then, all the "everybody does it" crap will be a poor excuse for a reason, just as it is now.
