Liverpool Argentina @LFCArg

There’s a lot of absolute shite going around about @spiritofshankly - all because of a letter seeking clarification on the club ownership, nothing major. Surely if you care about your club, you want to know what’s going on with it? This isn’t a video game. Real people’s lives are affected by this massive football club. So, one group wanting to find out some info on a major sale of part of the club is just something that is done on the basic level really. If you’re a supporter, you should want to know what’s happening and why. SOS are one supporters group that is part of the board. They have their own members, votes and elections within that, as do the others. The supporters’ board is there to represent all the fans of Liverpool FC. From aspects about ticketing, disability and major things such as stadium moves and so on. The other groups that make up the board are: LDSA - Liverpool Disabled Supporters Association. Represents disabled fans access to the club (when it suits Ted). Kop Outs - the official LGBT+ supporters' group. Self explanatory what they do really. Spion Kop 1906 - organises flag displays, banners, tributes and so on. Official Liverpool Supporters Clubs - They cover supporters’ groups from around the world and represent those fans. Liverpool Women’s Supporters Committee - They cover the women’s game. CultuRED - covers different faiths and cultures. There are elections for each group and member votes. If you think it’s just one fella with a social media account, you’re very mistaken. They have a real impact at high levels within the club. I’ve personally seen the impact of both SOS and the LDSA and they’re mostly positive. Just like most groups, you do have internal factions and people getting too big for their boots, they’re usually resolved via elections though. Without fan representation and people having a vested interest in their own club and community, it just completely loses what the club is supposed to be. In my opinion, you see a lot of the new fans just simply wanting the club to spend whatever they want in an unsustainable way so they can brag that “their” club has a certain player. Or worse, the “Player FC” fans. If the club was to be badly run and to cease to exist tomorrow, that affects a lot of people’s daily lives. The unaffected people just go and find another club to “support” and that’s that. If the club was to do things that negatively impact certain groups then they’re represented and soon stopped. The major gripe of foreign fans is “SOS don’t represent me”. They represent us all. But you have your local LOSC for that - join in, they don’t bite!

Games gone. A club I used to feel an integral part of, a club I used to know people at, could turn up and talk to staff at, is now as remote as Disney or ... well ... Amazon.

NEW: Jeff Bezos consortium can buy control of Liverpool in $8bn option thisisanfield.com/2026/08/jeff-b…

Online Liverpool fans hate on Spirit of Shankly and that type of thing but we're gonna need these fan advocate groups more than ever with new ownership coming in. Otherwise the very soul of the club will become a husk. More business entity and never a football club. SOS.

🟥 Liverpool, Bezos and the Price of Staying at the Top Well, it’s done. Jeff Bezos is now part of Liverpool’s ownership structure through K5 Sports, within the 1892 Holdings consortium led by Amit Bhatia. The stake is understood to be around 30% to one third, with Bhatia becoming vice chairman. FSG retain majority ownership and operational control. I’ve written two long Substack pieces about where I think this ultimately leads, but it’s Friday night and, two glasses of red wine into my weekend, a tweet is about all I can muster. My instinct hasn’t changed. This feels like another step towards the eventual end of FSG’s ownership, even if that day may remain years away. The transaction documents reportedly allow flexibility over how the relationship develops, although there is no predetermined route towards further ownership. The uncomfortable part is what Liverpool are becoming, or perhaps what elite football has already become. I understand the excitement. Bezos, Bhatia, the Saverin family, extraordinary wealth, global connections, technology, Asia, new commercial possibilities. There could be enormous long term benefits. I also understand supporters who feel deeply uneasy. Liverpool’s soul matters more to me than another £100m signing. Shankly’s Liverpool and billionaire capitalism make uncomfortable bedfellows. Yet who buys a football club worth billions in 2026? That's modern football’s grim contradiction. We want Liverpool competing at the very top without losing what made Liverpool worth loving in the first place. FSG have made their move. Now we watch very carefully what comes next. #LFC

I’m told the provision in the deal is NOT a mutual option — meaning, if the consortium wants to become the controlling shareholder at $8b in the next 12 months, it will.

Our statement after the sale of 30% of the club spiritofshankly.com/2026/08/14/fsg…

Siento que es de esas noticias que decantan todo el proceso de devaluación, pérdida de identidad y sentido del club y del fútbol en general. No es algo nuevo, besos no tiene por qué ser peor de lo que ya hay, pero aún así es el símbolo de lo que estamos perdiendo.

Shankly's Liverpool Not Bezos's Liverpool

@Liverpool_Col Se ve que no, la gente tiene un chip exitista y obsesionada con la plata y mientras no se dan cuenta que le drenan la identidad al club.

Increíbles las respuestas a este posteo. Uno piensa que el club/el fútbol se pierde desde arriba, pero claramente también se pierde desde abajo.

We’re going to watch the club die in real time and guys are celebrating because of “more money for transfers”…. We spend loads every summer, we’ve been financially backed for years, people like him coming into the club IS NOT a good thing.
