    Supporter ownership, the view from Liverpool

    By Admin | AVST News | Comments are Closed | 15 October, 2010 | 0

    Joint statement from the Spirit of Shankley and ShareLiverpoolFC

    Spirit of Shankly-ShareLiverpoolFC welcomes the likely end of Hicks and
    Gillett’s ownership of LFC, regardless of the current attempts to
    prolong this process.

    At this stage we remain open minded about any new ownership regime.

    However our long held view that supporter ownership is right for
    Liverpool Football Club remains unaltered. The aspiration amongst
    supporters to become part of the ownership of LFC by investing our own
    money and to have our interests represented in the running of the club,
    still very much exists.

    Recent experience has demonstrated that meaningful fan representation
    through democratic supporter ownership is the only fail-safe way that we
    can ensure that a reoccurrence of recent events never happens again.
    This requires supporter ownership through a direct equity shareholding
    in LFC, in partnership with new owners, giving the supporters real and
    meaningful representation. This is also the best way that the club can
    rebuild its relationship with tens of thousands of disenfranchised fans
    who want the opportunity to invest in their club’s future.

    We will all be delighted to see the back of Hicks & Gillett, but at
    one level we are back where we were in 2007. At that time, supporters
    welcomed the new owners with open arms. This time, we are better
    informed and this time, tens of thousands of Liverpool’s supporters have
    demonstrated their willingness and ability to invest their own money in
    the Club. This time, there is an opportunity to create a unique
    partnership between supporters and new owners to everyone’s benefit.

    We continue to pursue these goals and look forward to engaging with
    new owners to ensure that they fully understand the benefits of
    supporter ownership to the club, the wider community and themselves as
    owners.
